Leviticus 21

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and you shall tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,

Mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Korero ki nga tohunga, ki nga tama a Arona, mea atu ki a ratou, Kaua tetahi e whakapoke i a ia mo te tupapaku o tona iwi:

2 but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,

Engari mo tona whanaunga, mo te mea e tata ana ki a ia, mo tona whaea, mo tona papa, mo tana tama, mo tana tamahine, mo tona tuakana, teina ranei,

3 and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.

Mo tona tuahine hoki, ki te mea he wahine, he mea e tata ana ki a ia, a kahore ana tane: e ahei ana kia poke ia mona.

4 He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself.

Kaua ia, he ariki nei no tona iwi, e whakapoke i a ia kia noa.

5 And you shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh.

Kaua e whakatiwhaia o ratou matenga, kaua hoki e heua nga taha o o ratou pahau, kaua ano hoki e haea to ratou kikokiko.

6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy.

Kia tapu ratou ki to ratou Atua, kaua hoki e whakanoatia te ingoa o to ratou Atua: no te mea ko ratou hei whakahere i nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa, i te kai a to ratou Atua: mo reira kia tapu ratou.

7 They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.

Kaua ratou e tango i te wahine kairau, i te mea noa ranei, hei wahine; kaua ano hoki ratou e tango i te wahine i whakarerea e tana tane: he tangata tapu hoki ia na tona Atua.

8 And you shall hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.

Mo reira me whakatapu ia e koe, mana hoki e whakahere te kai a tou Atua: kia tapu ia ki a koe: he tapu hoki ahau, a Ihowa, tou kaiwhakatapu.

9 And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

Me te tamahine hoki a tetahi tohunga, ki te whakanoa ia i a ia, ki te kairau, kua whakanoatia e ia tona papa: me tahu ki te ahi.

10 And the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:

Me te tino tohunga hoki i roto i ona teina, te tangata i ringihia nei tona matenga ki te hinu whakawahi, a i whakatohungatia hei kakahu i nga kakahu, kaua e tukua e ia ona makawe kia mahora noa, kaua ano hoki e haea ona kakahu;

11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.

Kaua hoki ia e haere atu ki tetahi tupapaku mate, kaua ano hoki ia e whakapoke i a ia mo tona papa, mo tona whaea ranei;

12 And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord.

Kaua hoki ia e haere ki waho o te wahi tapu, kei noa i a ia te wahi tapu o tona Atua; kei runga hoki i a ia te karauna o te hinu whakawahi o tona Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.

13 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.

Me tango ano hoki e ia he wahine i tona wahinetanga.

14 But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people.

He pouaru, he wahine ranei i whakarerea, he wahine noa ranei, he wahine kairau ranei, kaua enei e tangohia e ia: engari me tango e ia he wahine i roto i tona iwi ake hei wahine.

15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.

Kaua hoki e whakanoatia e ia ona uri roto i tona iwi: ko Ihowa hoki ahau te whakatapu nei i a ia.

16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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

17 Say to Aaron, A man of your tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer the gifts of his God.

Korero ki a Arona, mea atu, Ki te mea he koha to tetahi o ou uri i o ratou whakatupuranga, kaua ia e whakatata mai ki te whakahere i te kai a tona Atua.

18 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,

Kaua hoki e whakatata mai tetahi tangata he koha tona: te matapo, te kopa, te tangata he ihu parehe tona, i hira ake ranei tetahi wahi ona,

19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,

Te tangata ranei i whati te waewae, i whati ranei te ringa,

20 or humpbacked, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.

Te tuara piko ranei, te mea i puwhenua te tupu, ki te papahewa ranei tona kanohi, ki te mea ranei he papaka, he hakihaki ranei tona, ki te mea ranei kua komurumurua ona mea;

21 Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God.

Kaua tetahi o nga uri o te tohunga, o Arona, ki te mea he koha tona, e whakatata mai ki te whakahere i nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa: he koha tona, kaua ia e whakatata ki te whakahere i te kai a tona Atua.

22 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.

Me kai e ia te kai a tona Atua, te mea tapu rawa, me te mea tapu.

23 Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.

Otiia kaua ia e haere ki te arai, e whakatata ranei ki te aata; he koha hoki tona; kei noa i a ia oku wahi tapu: ko Ihowa hoki ahau te whakatapu nei i a ratou.

24 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

Ko nga korero enei a Mohi ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, ki nga tama katoa ano hoki a Iharaira.
