He Tapu ngā Tohunga
1 I mea anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi: “Kōrero ki ngā tohunga, ki ngā tama a Ārona, mea atu ki a rātou: Kaua tētahi e whakapoke i a ia mō te tūpāpaku o tōna iwi; 2 engari, mō tōna whanaunga, mō te mea e tata ana ki a ia, mō tōna whaea, mō tōna pāpā, mō tāna tama, mō tāna tamāhine, mō tōna tuakana, teina rānei, 3 mō tōna tuahine hoki, ki te mea he wāhina, he mea e tata ana ki a ia, ā, kāhore āna tāne; e āhei ana kia poke ia mōna. 4 Kaua ia, he ariki nei nō tōna iwi, e whakapoke i a ia kia noa.
5 “Kaua e whakatiwhaia ō rātou mātenga, kaua hoki e heua ngā taha o ō rātou pāhau, kaua anō hoki e haea tō rātou kikokiko. 6 Kia tapu rātou ki tō rātou Atua, kaua hoki e whakanoatia te ingoa o tō rātou Atua; nō te mea ko rātou hei whakahere i ngā whakahere ahi a Ihowā, i te kai a tō rātou Atua; mō reira kia tapu rātou.
7 “Kaua rātou e tango i te wahine kairau, i te mea noa rānei, hei wahine; kaua anō hoki rātou e tango i te wahine i whakarērea e tāna tāne; he tangata tapu hoki ia nā tōna Atua. 8 Mō reira me whakatapu ia e koe, māna hoki e whakahere te kai a tōu Atua; kia tapu ia ki a koe; he tapu hoki ahau, a Ihowā, tōu kaiwhakatapu.
9 “Me te tamāhine hoki a tētahi tohunga, ki te whakanoa ia i a ia, ki te kairau, kua whakanoatia e ia tōna pāpā; me tahu ki te ahi.
10 “Me te tino tohunga hoki i roto i ōna tēina, te tangata i ringihia nei tōna mātenga ki te hinu whakawahi, ā, i whakatohungatia hei kākahu i ngā kākahu, kaua e tukua e ia ōna makawe kia mahora noa, kaua anō hoki e haea ōna kākahu. 11 Kaua hoki ia e haere atu ki tētahi tūpāpaku mate, kaua anō hoki ia e whakapoke i a ia mō tōna pāpā, mō tōna whaea rānei. 12 Kaua hoki ia e haere ki waho o te wāhi tapu, kei noa i a ia te wāhi tapu o tōna Atua; kei runga hoki i a ia te karauna o te hinu whakawahi o tōna Atua. Ko Ihowā ahau.
13 “Me tango anō hoki e ia he wahine i tōna wāhinatanga. 14 He pouaru, he wahine rānei i whakarērea, he wahine noa rānei, he wahine kairau rānei, kaua ēnei e tangohia e ia. Engari, me tango e ia he wāhina i roto i tōna iwi ake hei wahine, 15 kaua hoki e whakanoatia e ia ōna uri i roto i tōna iwi: ko Ihowā hoki ahau te whakatapu nei i a ia.”
16 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 17 “Kōrero ki a Ārona, mea atu: Ki te mea he koha tō tētahi o ōu uri i ō rātou whakatupuranga, kaua ia e whakatata mai ki te whakahere i te kai a tōna Atua. 18 Kaua hoki e whakatata mai tētahi tangata he koha tōna: te matapō, te kopa, te tangata he ihu parehe tōna, i hira ake rānei tētahi wāhi ōna, 19 te tangata rānei i whati te waewae, i whati rānei te ringa, 20 te tuarā piko rānei, te mea i pūwhenua te tupu, ki te papahewa, rānei tōna kanohi, ki te mea rānei he pāpaka, he hakihaki rānei tōna, ki te mea rānei kua kōmurumurua ōna mea. 21 Kaua tētahi o ngā uri o te tohunga, o Ārona, ki te mea he koha tōna, e whakatata mai ki te whakahere i ngā whakahere ahi a Ihowā; he koha tōna, kaua ia e whakatata ki te whakahere i te kai a tōna Atua. 22 Me kai e ia te kai a tōna Atua, te mea tapu rawa, me te mea tapu. 23 Otiia kaua ia e haere ki te ārai, e whakatata rānei ki te āta; he koha hoki tōna; kei noa i a ia ōku wāhi tapu. Ko Ihowā hoki ahau te whakatapu nei i a rātou.”
24 Ko ngā kōrero ēnei a Mohi ki a Ārona rātou ko āna tama, ki ngā tama katoa anō hoki a Īharaira.
