¹¶ Na ka karanga a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka korero ki a ia i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka mea,

¹ Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

²Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te kawea e tetahi tangata o koutou he whakahere ki a Ihowa, me kawe ta koutou whakahere i roto i nga kararehe, ara i roto i nga kau, i roto ranei i nga hipi.

²“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When anyone of you offers an offering to Yahweh, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

³¶ Ki te mea he tahunga tinana tana whakahere no nga kau, me tapae e ia he toa, he kohakore: ka tuku ai ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei mea e manakohia ai ia i te aroaro o Ihowa.

³“‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh.

⁴A me popoki tona ringa ki te pane o te tahunga tinana; a ka manakohia tana, hei whakamarie mona.

⁴He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

⁵Na me patu te kau ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a me kawe te toto e nga tohunga, e nga tama a Arona, me tauhiuhi te toto ki te aata a tawhio noa, ki tera i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

⁵He shall kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

⁶Na me tihore e ia te tahunga tinana, a me tapatapahi tenei wahi ona, tenei wahi ona.

⁶He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

⁷Na me maka he ahi e nga tama a Arona tohunga ki runga ki te aata, me whakapai hoki nga wahie ki runga ki te ahi:

⁷The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

⁸Na ka whakararangi ai nga tohunga, nga tama a Arona, i nga pihi, te pane me te ngako, ki nga wahie o te ahi i te aata.

⁸and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

⁹Ko ona whekau ia, me ona waewae, me horoi ki te wai, ka tahu katoa ai te tohunga ki runga ki te aata hei tahunga tinana, hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

⁹but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

¹⁰¶ Na, no te kahui tana whakahere no nga hipi, no nga koati ranei, hei tahunga tinana; me kawe e ia he toa, he mea kohakore,

¹⁰“‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

¹¹Ka patu ai ki te taha ki te raki o te aata, ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ma nga tohunga, ma nga tama a Arona, e tauhiuhi ona toto ki te aata a tawhio noa.

¹¹He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

¹²Na ka tapatapahi ai ia he wahi, he wahi, tona pane, tona ngako; a ma te tohunga e whakararangi ki nga wahie o te ahi i runga i te aata:

¹²He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,

¹³Ko nga whekau ia, me nga waewae, me horoi ki te wai: a ka kawe katoa ai te tohunga, ka tahu ai ki te aata: he tahunga tinana hoki, he whakahere ahi, he kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

¹³but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

¹⁴Na, mehemea he tahunga tinana no nga manu tana whakahere ki a Ihowa, na me kawe e ia tana whakahere i roto i nga kukupa, i roto ranei i nga pi kukupa.

¹⁴“‘If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

¹⁵A ma te tohunga e kawe ki te aata, e whakawiri atu tona pane, ka tahu ai ki runga ki te aata; a ko ona toto me tuku kia heke ki te taha o te aata:

¹⁵The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

¹⁶A ko tona puku me tona paru me tango, a ka maka ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te aata, ki te wahi o nga pungarehu:

¹⁶and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

¹⁷Na me hahae e ia ma ona parirau, otiia kaua e motuhia rawatia; a ma te tohunga e tahu ki runga ki te aata, ki nga wahie o te ahi: he tahunga tinana tena, he whakahere ahi, he kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

¹⁷He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
