Rewitikuha 17 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Tapu te Toto

1I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea:

2“Kōrero ki a Ārona, ki āna tama, ki ngā tama katoa a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: Ko te mea tēnei i whakahau ai a Ihowā, i mea ai:

3Ki te patua e tētahi tangata o te whare o Īharaira he kau, he reme, he koati rānei, i roto i te puni, ki te patua rānei e ia ki waho o te puni,

4ā, e kore e kawea ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, kia whakaherea he whakahere ki a Ihowā ki mua i te tapenākara o Ihowā. Ka whakairia he toto ki taua tangata; kua whakaheke toto ia; ā, ka hātepea atu taua tangata i roto i tōna iwi.

5He mea kia kawea ai e ngā tama a Īharaira ā rātou patunga e whakaherea ana e rātou i te mata o te pārae, kia kawea ai hoki ki a Ihowā, ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ki te tohunga, ka patu ai hei whakahere mō te pai ki a Ihowā.

6Ā, ka tāuhiuhia te toto e te tohunga ki te āta a Ihowā i te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, me tahu anō e ia te ngako hei kakara reka ki a Ihowā.

7Ā, ka mutu ā rātou patunga tapu ki ngā rēwera i whāia nei e rātou, pūremu atu ai. Hei tikanga pūmau tēnei ki a rātou i ō rātou whakatupuranga.

8“Me kī atu anō ki a rātou: Ki te whakaherea e tētahi tangata o te whare o Īharaira, o ngā manene rānei i roto i a koutou, tētahi tahunga tinana, patunga tapu rānei,

9ā, e kore e kawea ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, whakahere ai ki a Ihowā; inā, ka hātepea atu taua tangata i roto i tōna iwi.”

Te Riri ana i te Kainga Toto

10“Ki te kainga hoki tētahi toto e tētahi tangata o te whare o Īharaira, o ngā manene rānei i roto i a koutou; ka ū atu tōku mata ki taua wairua i kainga ai te toto, ā, ka hātepea atu e ahau i roto i tōna iwi.

11Kei roto hoki i te toto te oranga o te kikokiko; kua hoatu anō e ahau ki a koutou mō runga i te āta, hei whakamārie mō ō koutou wairua; ko te toto hoki, nā tōna ora, te mea hei whakamārie.

12Koia ahau i mea ai ki ngā tama a Īharaira: Kaua tētahi o koutou e kai toto, kaua anō hoki te manene i roto i a koutou e kai toto.

13“Ki te whai hoki tētahi o ngā tama a Īharaira, o ngā manene rānei i roto i a koutou, ā, ka mau tētahi kīrehe, tētahi manu rānei e tika ana kia kainga; me riringi ōna toto, ka tanu ai ki te puehu.

14Nō te mea ko te toto o te kikokiko e kotahi katoa āna me te ora o te kikokiko; koia ahau i mea ai ki ngā tama a Īharaira: Kaua rawa e kainga te toto o tētahi kikokiko; ko te toto hoki te ora o ngā kikokiko katoa; ki te kainga e tētahi, ka hātepea atu.

15“Ki te kainga hoki e tētahi te mea i mate māori, te mea rānei i haea e te kīrehe, ahakoa tangata whenua, iwi kē rānei, me horoi ōna kākahu, me ia anō me horoi ki te wai, ka poke hoki ā ahiahi noa; kātahi ka kore te poke.

16Ā, ki te kāhore e horoia e ia, ki te kāhore hoki e horoia tōna tinana, nā, ka waha e ia tōna kino.”
