¹¶ I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia kawea e ratou ki a koe, he hinu oriwa, hei te mea parakore, hei te mea tuki, mo te whakamarama, kia ka tonu ai nga rama.

²“Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

³Me whakapai tonu tena e Arona ki waho o te arai o te whakaaturanga, i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i te ahiahi a tae noa ki te ata: he tikanga pumau, ma o koutou whakatupuranga.

³Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

⁴Me whakapai tonu e ia nga rama i runga i te turanga parakore o nga rama ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

⁴He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before Yahweh continually.

⁵Me tiki ano e koe he paraoa pai, ka tunu ai kia tekau ma rua nga keke: kia rua nga whakatekau o te epa ki te keke kotahi.

⁵“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts of an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel shall be in one cake.

⁶Ka whakatakoto ai e koe, kia rua nga rarangi, kia ono ki te rarangi kotahi, ki runga ki te tepu parakore i te aroaro o Ihowa.

⁶You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh.

⁷Me maka ano hoki e koe he parakihe parakore ki runga i tetahi rarangi, i tetahi rarangi, kia ai taua mea i runga i te taro hei whakamahara, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.

⁷You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

⁸Me whakararangi tonu e ia, i tenei hapati, i tenei hapati, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, he mea mo nga tama a Iharaira; hei kawenata pumau.

⁸Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant.

⁹A ma Arona ratou ko ana tama tena; me kai e ratou ki te wahi tapu; he tino tapu hoki tena mana i roto i nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa; hei tikanga pumau.

⁹It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.”

¹⁰¶ A i haere atu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira tetahi tama a tetahi wahine o Iharaira, ko tona papa no Ihipa: na ka whawhai tenei tama a te wahine o Iharaira ki tetahi tangata o Iharaira i roto i te puni;

¹⁰The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.

¹¹Na ka kohukohu te tama a te wahine o Iharaira i te ingoa o Ihowa, ka kanga hoki: a kawea ana ia e ratou ki a Mohi. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Heromiti, he tamahine na Tipiri, no te iwi o Rana.

¹¹The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

¹²Na ka hoatu ia e ratou kia tiakina, ma te kupu hoki a Ihowa te tikanga ki a ratou.

¹²They put him in custody, until the will of Yahweh should be declared to them.

¹³Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,

¹³Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁴Kawea te tangata i kanga ra ki waho o te puni; a, ko nga tangata katoa i rongo i a ia, me popoki o ratou ringa ki tona matenga, ka aki ai te whakaminenga katoa i a ia ki te kohatu.

¹⁴“Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

¹⁵Me korero ano e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Ki te kanga tetahi tangata i tona Atua, ka waha e ia tona hara.

¹⁵You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

¹⁶A, ko te tangata e kohukohu i te ingoa o Ihowa, me tino whakamate ia; me tino aki ia e te whakaminenga ki te kohatu: ko te manene raua tahi ko te tangata whenua ka whakamatea, ina kohukohua e ia te ingoa o Ihowa.

¹⁶He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

¹⁷Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i tetahi tangata me tino whakamate ano ia;

¹⁷“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia; he kararehe mo te kararehe.

¹⁸He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.

¹⁹Ki te mate hoki i te tangata tetahi wahi o tona hoa; me mea ki a ia tana i mea ai:

¹⁹If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:

²⁰He whati mo te whati, he kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho: ko te mate i meatia e ia ki te tangata, me mea ano ki a ia.

²⁰fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.

²¹Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia: ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te tangata, me whakamate ano ia.

²¹He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.

²²Kia kotahi ano ta koutou whakawa mo te manene, mo te tangata whenua: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

²²You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am Yahweh your God.’”

²³Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, a kawea ana e ratou ki waho o te puni te tangata nana te kanga, a akina ana hoki ki te kamaka. A meatia ana e nga tama a Iharaira ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

²³Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
