< Numbers 19 >

1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
2 “I am now giving to you another regulation. Tell the Israeli people to bring to you one reddish-brown cow that has no defects. It must be an animal that (has never been/no one has ever) used for plowing ground.
Ko te tikanga tenei o te ture i whakahaua e Ihowa; i mea ia, Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira kia tikina he kuao kau uha, he mea whero mau, hei te mea kahore he nawe, kahore he koa, a kahore ano hoki i utaina ki te ioka:
3 Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].
Me hoatu e koutou ki a Ereatara, tohunga, mana ia e kawe ki waho o te puni, me patu hoki e tetahi ki tona aroaro:
4 He must dip one of his fingers in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times [on the ground] near the Sacred Tent.
Na ka tango a Ereatara, tohunga, i tetahi wahi o ona toto ki tona maihao, kia whitu ana tauhiuhinga i ona toto ki te roro tonu o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:
5 Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.
Na ma tetahi e tahu te kau i tana tirohanga atu: ko tona hiako, me ona kiko, me ona toto, me tahu tahi me tona paru:
6 Eliezer then must take a stick of cedar wood, a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop, and some scarlet/red yarn, and throw them into the fire where the cow is burning.
Na ka mau te tohunga ki te rakau hita, ki te hihopa, ki te mea ngangana, a ka maka e ia ki waenganui o te tahunga o te kau.
7 “Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe. After doing that, he may return to the camp. But he will be unfit for doing any sacred work until that evening.
Katahi ka horoi te tohunga i ona kakahu, ka horoi ano hoki i tona kiri ki te wai, a muri iho ka haere ki te puni, ka poke hoki te tohunga a ahiahi noa.
8 The man who burns the cow must also wash his clothes and bathe, and he will also be unacceptable to me until that evening.
Me te kaitahu ano, me horoi ona kakahu ki te wai, me horoi ano tona kiri ki te wai, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa.
9 “Then someone who has not become unacceptable to me must gather up the ashes of the cow and put them in a (sacred place/place that is acceptable to me) outside the camp. The ashes must be kept there for the people of Israel to [use when they] mix it with water for the ritual to remove the guilt of sin.
A me amene nga pungarehu o te kau e tetahi tangata pokekore, a ka waiho i waho o te puni, i te wahi pokekore, ka tiaki ai mo te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira hei wai wehenga; hei horohoro tena mo te hara.
10 The man who gathers up the ashes of the cow must [also] wash his clothes, and he [also] will be unfit to do any more sacred work until that evening. That is a regulation that will never be changed. It must be obeyed by you Israeli people and by any foreigners who live among you.
Me horoi ano hoki ona kakahu e te kaiamene i nga pungarehu o te kau, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa: me waiho ano tena hei tikanga tuturu ma nga tama a Iharaira, ma te manene hoki e noho manene ana i roto i a ratou.
11 “All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Ki te pa tetahi ki te tinana mate o tetahi tangata, ka poke ia, e whitu nga ra.
12 On the third day and on the seventh day [after touching a corpse], in order to become acceptable to me again, [they must have sprinkled on them] some of that water for removing the guilt of their sin. If they do not do that on both of those days, they will continue to be unacceptable to me.
Me pure ia e ia ki taua wai i te toru o nga ra, a i te whitu o nga ra ka kore ona poke: otiia ki te kore ia e pure i a ia i te toru o nga ra, e kore ia e pokekore i te whitu o nga ra.
13 All those who touch a corpse, and do not perform in the correct way the ritual to become acceptable to me again, defile Yahweh’s Sacred Tent. They will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people. The water to remove the guilt of sin was not sprinkled on them, so they continue to be unacceptable to me.
Ki te pa tetahi ki te tinana mate o tetahi tangata kua mate, a kahore e pure i a ia, e whakapokea ana e ia te tapenakara o Ihowa; ka hatepea taua wairua i roto i a Iharaira; no te mea kihai i tauhiuhia ki a ia te wai wehenga, ka poke ano ia; e m au ana ano ki a ia tona poke.
14 “There is another ritual that must be performed when someone dies inside a tent. All those who were inside that tent when that person died or who enter that tent will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Ko te ture tenei ina mate te tangata i roto i te teneti: ko nga tangata katoa e tomo ana ki te teneti, me nga tangata katoa i roto i te teneti, ka poke kia whitu nga ra.
15 Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.
Ko nga oko katoa ano e puare kau ana, kahore nei i herea te taupoki, ka poke.
16 If someone who is out in a field touches the corpse of someone who was murdered, or who died from natural causes, or if someone touches a bone from some human or touches a grave, that person will be unacceptable to me for seven days.
Ki te pa hoki tetahi ki te tangata i patua ki te hoari ki waenga parae, ki te tupapaku ranei, ki te whenua tangata ranei, ki te urupa ranei, ka poke ia kia whitu nga ra.
17 “For someone like that to become acceptable to me again, some of the ashes from [the cow] that was burned must be taken and put in a jar. Then some fresh water must be poured over the ashes.
Na, mo te tangata poke, me tiki e ratou etahi o nga pungarehu o te kau i tahunga hei horohoronga mo nga hara, ka riringi ai ki te wai ora, ki roto ano ki te oko:
18 Then someone who is still acceptable to me must take a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop and dip it into the water. Then that person must sprinkle some of the water on the tent where that person died, on the things that are in the tent, and on the people who were in the tent. He must also sprinkle some of that water on any person who touched a human bone or who touched a person who died, or who touched a grave.
Na ka mau tetahi tangata pokekore ki te hihopa, ka tuku ki te wai, na ka tauhiuhi i te teneti me nga oko katoa, i nga tangata ano hoki o reira, me te tangata i pa atu nei ki te whenua, ki te tangata ranei i patua, ki te tupapaku ranei, ki te uru pa ranei:
19 On the third day and on the seventh day after that, the person who is acceptable to me must sprinkle some of that water on those who have become unacceptable to me. On the seventh day, the people who are performing that ritual to become acceptable to me again must wash their clothes and bathe. If they do that, on that evening they will become acceptable to me again.
Me tauhuihui ano hoki e te tangata pokekore te tangata poke i te toru o nga ra, i te whitu hoki o nga ra; a me pure ia e ia ano i te whitu o nga ra, ka horoi ai i ona kakahu, ka horoi ano hoki i a ia ki te wai, a i te ahiahi ka kore te poke.
20 “If those who have become unacceptable to me do not become acceptable to me again by doing this, they will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people, because they have defiled my Sacred Tent. They did not sprinkle on themselves the water that removes the guilt of their sins, so they remain unacceptable to me.
A ki te poke tetahi tangata, a kahore e pure i a ia, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i te huihui, mona i whakapoke i te wahi tapu o Ihowa: kihai te wai o te wehenga i tauhiuhia ki a ia; he poke.
21 That is a law for the Israeli people that will never be changed. Those who sprinkle that water on themselves must then wash their clothes. And anyone who touches that water which removes guilt for sins will remain unacceptable to God until that evening.
A hei tikanga tuturu tenei ma ratou, me horoi ona kakahu e te kaitauhiuhi o te wai wehenga; ka poke ano a ahiahi noa te tangata e pa ana ki te wai wehenga.
22 “If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
Ko poke ano nga mea katoa e pa ai te tangata poke; ka poke ano a ahiahi noa te wairua e pa ana.
