Te Whakapai Tonu o ngā Rama
(Ekoruhe 27.20-21)
1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 2 “Whakahaua ngā tama a Īharaira kia kawea e rātou ki a koe, he hinu ōriwa, hei te mea parakore, hei te mea tuki, mō te whakamārama, kia kā tonu ai ngā rama. 3 Me whakapai tonu tēnā e Ārona ki waho o te ārai o te whakaaturanga, i roto i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ki te aroaro o Ihowā, i te ahiahi ā tae noa ki te ata; he tikanga pūmau, mā ō koutou whakatupuranga. 4 Me whakapai tonu e ia ngā rama i runga i te tūranga parakore o ngā rama ki te aroaro o Ihowā.”
Te Taro Aroaro
5 “Me tiki anō e koe he parāoa pai, ka tunu ai kia tekau mā rua ngā keke; kia rua ngā whakatekau o te epa ki te keke kotahi. 6 Ka whakatakoto ai e koe, kia rua ngā rārangi, kia ono ki te rārangi kotahi, ki runga ki te tēpu parakore i te aroaro o Ihowā. 7 Me maka anō hoki e koe he parakihe parakore ki runga i tētahi rārangi, i tētahi rārangi, kia ai taua mea i runga i te taro hei whakamahara, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowā. 8 Me whakarārangi tonu e ia, i tēnei hāpati, i tēnei hāpati, ki te aroaro o Ihowā, he mea mō ngā tama a Īharaira; hei kawenata pūmau. 9 Ā, mā Ārona rātou ko āna tama tēnā; me kai e rātou ki te wāhi tapu; he tino tapu hoki tēnā māna i roto i ngā whakahere ahi a Ihowā; hei tikanga pūmau.”
Te Tangata Kohukohu me Tōna Whiunga
10 Ā, i haere atu i roto i ngā tama a Īharaira tētahi tama a tētahi wahine o Īharaira, ko tōna pāpā nō Īhipa; nā, ka whawhai tēnei tama a te wahine o Īharaira ki tētahi tangata o Īharaira i roto i te puni. 11 Nā, ka kohukohu te tama a te wahine o Īharaira i te ingoa o Ihowā, ka kanga hoki. Ā, kawea ana ia e rātou ki a Mohi, ā, ko te ingoa o tōna whaea ko Heromiti, he tamāhine nā Tipiri, nō te iwi o Rāna. 12 Nā, ka hoatu ia e rātou kia tiakina, mā te kupu hoki a Ihowā te tikanga ki a rātou.
13 Nā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, ka mea: 14 “Kawea te tangata i kanga rā ki waho o te puni; ā, ko ngā tāngata katoa i rongo i a ia, me popoki ō rātou ringa ki tōna mātenga, ka āki ai te whakaminenga katoa i a ia ki te kōhatu. 15 Me kōrero anō e koe ki ngā tama a Īharaira, me kī atu: Ki te kanga tētahi tangata i tōna Atua, ka waha e ia tōna hara. 16 Ā, ko te tangata e kohukohu i te ingoa o Ihowā, me tino whakamate ia; me tino āki ia e te whakaminenga ki te kōhatu. Ko te manene rāua tahi ko te tangata whenua ka whakamatea, ina kohukohua e ia te ingoa o Ihowā.
17 “Ki te whakamate hoki tētahi i tētahi tangata me tino whakamate anō ia. 18 Ki te whakamate hoki tētahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia; he kararehe mō te kararehe. 19 Ki te mate hoki i te tangata tētahi wāhi o tōna hoa; me mea ki a ia tāna i mea ai: 20 he whati mō te whati, he kanohi mō te kanohi, he niho mō te niho; ko te mate i meatia e ia ki te tangata, me mea anō ki a ia. 21 Ki te whakamate hoki tētahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia; ki te whakamate hoki tētahi i te tangata, me whakamate anō ia. 22 Kia kotahi anō tā koutou whakawā mō te manene, mō te tangata whenua. Ko Ihowā hoki ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.”
23 Nā, ka kōrero a Mohi ki ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, kawea ana e rātou ki waho o te puni te tangata nāna te kanga, ā, ākina ana hoki ki te kāmaka. Ā, meatia ana e ngā tama a Īharaira tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
