Ehekiera 46

1 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Me tutaki te kuwaha o to roto marae e anga ana ki te rawhiti i nga ra mahi e ono; kia tuwhera ia i te hapati, kia tuwhera ano i te ra e kowhiti ai te marama.

The Lord Yahweh says this: The gate of the inner courtyard, facing east, will be shut for the six days of work, but on the Sabbath it will be opened, and on the day of the new moon it will be opened.

2 A ka tomo te rangatira ma te ara o te whakamahau o te kuwaha i waho, ka tu ai ki te pou o te kuwaha; katahi ka mahia e nga tohunga tana tahunga tinana, me ana whakahere mo te pai, hei te paepae ano o te kuwaha he koropikotanga mona; katahi ia ka puta atu ki waho; kauaka ia te kuwaha e tutakina a ahiahi noa.

The prince will enter the outer courtyard by the way of the gate and its portico from outside, and he will stand before the doorposts of the inner gate while the priests perform his burnt offering and peace offering. Then he will worship at the threshold of the inner gate and go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.

3 Hei te tatau ano o taua kuwaha he koropikotanga mo te iwi o te whenua i nga hapati, i nga kowhititanga marama, ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

The people of the land will also worship before Yahweh at the entrance to this gate on the Sabbaths and new moons.

4 Na, ko te tahunga tinana e whakaherea e te rangatira ki a Ihowa hei te ra hapati, e ono nga reme he mea kahakore, he hipi toa, he mea kohakore.

The burnt offering that the prince offers to Yahweh on the Sabbath day will be six unblemished lambs and an unblemished ram.

5 Ko te whakahere totokore, kia kotahi te epa mo te hipi toa, me to nga reme whakahere totokore, ko tana e taea te homai; kotahi te epa, kia kotahi ano hine hinu.

The grain offering with the ram will be an ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs will be what he wishes to give, and a hin of oil with each ephah of grain.

6 Na i te ra e kowhiti ai te marama ko tetahi kuao puru, he mea kohakore, e ono nga reme, kotahi te hipi toa, he mea kohakore katoa.

On the day of the new moon he must offer an unblemished bull from a herd, six lambs, and an unblemished ram.

7 Kia rite ano i a ia he whakahere totokore, mo te puru, kia kotahi epa; mo te hipi toa, kia kotahi epa; ko to nga reme, ko ta tona ringa e tae atu ai; kotahi te epa, kia kotahi ano hine hinu.

He must make a grain offering of an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram, and what he wishes to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah of grain.

8 Na e tomo te rangatira ki roto, me haere ia na te ara o te whakamahau o te kuwaha; hei to reira ara ano he putanga mona.

When the prince enters by the way of the gate and its portico, he must leave by the same way.

9 Na e tomo te iwi o te whenua ki te aroaro o Ihowa i nga hakari nunui, ko te tangata i tomo na te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki ki te koropiko, hei te ara o te kuwaha ki te tonga he putanga mona; a, ko te tangata i tomo na te ara o te kuwaha ki te to nga, hei te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki he putanga mona: kaua ia e hoki na te ara o te kuwaha i tomo ai ia; engari me haere hangai atu.

But when the people of the land come before Yahweh at the appointed festivals, anyone entering through the north gate to worship must leave through the south gate; and anyone entering through the south gate must leave through the north gate. No one may turn back to the gate through which he entered, for he must go out straight ahead.

10 Na, ko te rangatira, ina tomo ratou ki roto, hei waenganui ia i a ratou; a, ina puta ratou ki waho, me puta tahi ratou.

The prince must be in their midst; when they go in, he must go in, and when they leave, he must leave.

11 Na, ko te whakahere totokore i nga hakari, i nga whakanuinga, kotahi te epa ki te puru, kotahi te epa ki te hipi toa; ko to nga reme ano, ko te mea e taea e ia te homai; kia kotahi te hine hinu ki te epa.

At the festivals, the grain offering must be an ephah of grain for the bull and an ephah for the ram, and whatever he wishes to give with the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah.

12 Na e mahia mai e te rangatira he tahunga tinana, he mea tuku noa mai, he whakahere ranei mo te pai, he mea tuku noa mai, hei mea ki a Ihowa, me whakatuwhera e etahi te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti ki a ia, a ka mahia e ia tana tahunga tinana, me ana whakahere mo te pai, kia rite ki tana mahinga i te ra o te hapati. Katahi ia ka puta ki waho, a ka tutakina te kuwaha ina puta ia.

When the prince gives a freewill offering, either a burnt offering or a peace offering to Yahweh, the gate facing east will be opened for him. He will offer his burnt offering offering or his peace offering as he does it on the Sabbath day. Then he must go out, and after he has gone out the gate will be shut.

13 Me mahi e koe he tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa i tenei ra, i tenei ra, he reme, hei te tautahi, hei te kohakore: me mahi e koe i tenei ata, i tenei ata.

In addition, you will give an unblemished lamb one year old as a burnt offering to Yahweh daily; you will do this morning after morning.

14 Me mahi ano e koe he whakahere totokore hei kinaki i tenei ata, i tenei ata, te whakaono o te epa, me te whakatoru o te hine hinu, hei whakamakuku i te paraoa; he whakahere totokore ki a Ihowa, he mea e tuturu ana tona tikanga a ake ake.

You will give a grain offering with it morning after morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the flour of the grain offering for Yahweh, according to a permanent statute.

15 Ina, me mahi te reme, me te whakahere totokore, me te hinu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, hei tahunga tinana e tuturu tonu ana.

They will prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil morning after morning, a permanent burnt offering.

16 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ki te homai e te rangatira tetahi mea homai noa ki tetahi o ana tamariki, ka riro tera i ana tamariki; mo ratou tera, a tuku iho, tuku iho.

The Lord Yahweh says this: If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It will be the property of his sons, it is an inheritance.

17 Tena, ki te hoatu tetahi wahi o tona kainga tupu ki tetahi o ana pononga, mana tera, a taea noatia te tau haere noa; katahi ka hoki ki te rangatira: mo ana tamariki ano ia tona wahi tupu hei wahi mo ratou.

But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, then it will be that servant's until the year of liberty, and then it will return to the prince. His inheritance will certainly be for his sons.

18 Kaua ano te rangatira e tango i tetahi wahi o to te iwi kainga tupu, he pei i a ratou i o ratou wahi; me homai e ia he wahi mo ana tamariki i roto i tona wahi ake; kei marara noa atu taku iwi i tona wahi, i tona wahi.

The prince will not take the people's inheritance away from their own property; he must provide for his sons from his own property so that my people will not be scattered, each man from his own property.'”

19 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki roto, i tika na te tomokanga i te taha o te kuwaha ki nga ruma tapu o nga tohunga, ki era e anga ana whaka te raki: na, ko tetahi wahi i reira i muri whaka te hauauru.

Next the man brought me through the entrance at the gate to the holy rooms for the priests, which faced north and behold! There was a place toward the west.

20 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te wahi tenei e kohuatia ai e nga tohunga te whakahere mo te he, me te whakahere hara, ka tunua ano e ratou ki konei te whakaheretotokore; kei whakaputaina mai ki to waho marae whakatapu ai i te iwi.

He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they must bake the grain offering. They must not bring the offerings into the outer courtyard, for then the people would be consecrated.”

21 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki to waho marae; a ka meinga e ia kia tika na nga kokonga e wha o te marae; na ko tetahi marae i tetahi kokonga, i tetahi kokonga o te marae.

Then he brought me to the outer courtyard and he led me past the four corners of that courtyard, and I saw that in at every corner of the courtyard there was a another court.

22 He marae kei nga kokonga e wha o te marae, he mea karapoti mai, e wha tekau nga whatianga te roa, e toru tekau te whanui: ko enei e wha i nga kokonga, rite tonu te nui.

In the four corners of the outer courtyard there were four small courtyards, forty cubits in length and thirty in width. There the same dimensions for all four of the courtyards.

23 Na he rarangi whare kei aua marae a taka noa, i aua marae e wha a taka noa; i mahia ano etahi wahi mo nga kohua i raro i nga rarangi, a taka noa.

There was a row made of stone all around the four of them, and cooking hearths were under the stone row.

24 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko nga wahi enei o nga kohua, e kohuatia ai e nga minita o te whare te patunga tapu a te iwi.

The man said to me, “These are the places where the temple servants will boil the people's sacrifices.”
