16  A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi i muri i te matenga o nga tama tokorua a Arona, i te mea i whakahere nei raua ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a mate iho;

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Korero ki a Arona, ki tou tuakana, kei haere i nga wa katoa ki te wahi tapu, ki roto i te arai, i tera i mua mai o te taupoki o te aaka; kei mate: ka puta atu hoki ahau i roto i te kapua ki runga ki te taupoki.

Ko nga mea tenei hei haerenga mo Arona ki roto ki te wahi tapu: ko te kuao puru hei whakahere hara, me te hipi toa hei tahunga tinana.

Me kakahu e ia te koti rinena tapu; hei tona kikokiko nga tarau rinena, me whitiki ano ki a ia te whitiki rinena, me potae ano te potae rinena: ko nga kakahu tapu enei; mo reira me horoi e ia tona kikokiko ki te wai, ka kakahu ai.

Na ka mau ia ki etahi koati kia rua a te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira hei whakahere hara, kia kotahi hoki te hipi toa hei tahunga tinana.

A ka whakaherea e Arona tana puru mo te whakahere hara, te mea hoki mona, a ka whakamarie mona, mo tona whare hoki.

Na ka mau ia ki nga koati e rua, ka tapae ki te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

Na ka maka he rota e Arona mo nga koati e rua, tetahi rota mo ta Ihowa, tetahi rota mo te koati haere noa.

A ka kawea mai e Arona te koati i puta nei ta Ihowa rota ki a ia, a ka whakaherea hei whakahere hara.

10 Ko te koati ia i puta nei te rota ki a ia hei koati haere noa, katapaea oratia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te whakamarie mona, kia tukua ai ki te koraha hei koati haere noa.

11 A ka kawea e Arona te puru mo te whakahere hara, te mea mona ake, a ka whakamarie mona, mo tona whare hoki, a ka patua te puru mo te whakahere hara, te mea hoki mona ake:

12 Na ka mau ki te tahu kakara, ki tonu i nga waro ahi no runga i te aata, i te aroaro o Ihowa; kia ki hoki ona ringa i te whakakakara reka, tuki rawa kia ririki, ka kawe ai ki roto i te arai:

13 Na ka maka i te whakakakara ki te ahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kia ngaro ai i te kapua whakakakara te taupoki i runga i te whakaaturanga, kei mate hoki ia:

14 Na ka tango i tetahi wahi o te toto o te puru, a ka tauhiuhia e tona maihao ki te taupoki ki te taha ki te rawhiti: kia whitu nga tauhiuhinga a tona maihao i te toto ki te taha ki mua o te taupoki:

15 Katahi ka patua e ia te koati o te whakahere hara, te mea mo te iwi, a ka kawea ona toto ki roto i te arai, a ka pera tana meatanga ki taua toto, me tana ki te toto o te puru, a ka tauhiuhia e ia ki te taupoki, ki mua hoki o te taupoki.

16 A ka whakamarie mo te wahi tapu, mo te poke o nga tama a Iharaira, mo a ratou mahi tutu i o ratou haranga katoa: kia pera hoki tana meatanga mo te tapenakara o te whakaminenga e tu ana i roto i a ratou i waenganui o to ratou poke.

17 Kaua ano hoki he tangata mo roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ina haere ia ki te whakamarie i roto i te wahi tapu, a puta noa mai ki waho, kia oti ra ano te whakamarie mona, mo tona whare, mo te whakaminenga katoa ano hoki o Iharaira.

18 Na ka puta ia ki te aata, ki tera i te aroaro o Ihowa, mea ai i to reira whakamarie; ka tongo hoki i tetahi wahi o te toto o te puru, o te toto hoki o te koati, ka pani ai ki nga haona o te aata a tawhio noa.

19 Kia whitu hoki nga tauhiuhinga a tona maihao i te toto, a ka purea, ka whakatapua, kia ma ai i te poke o nga tama a Iharaira.

20 A ka oti tana whakamarie mo te wahi tapu, mo te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, mo te aata, na, me kawe mai e ia te koati ora:

21 Na ka pokipoki nga ringa e rua o Arona ki te matenga o te koati ora, ka whaki ai i nga kino katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki runga i a ia, i a ratou mahi tutu katoa, me o ratou hara katoa; me uta hoki ki runga ki te matenga o te koati, ka tuku ai kia kawea ki te koraha e tetahi tangata e noho rite ana:

22 Na ka mauria e te koati o ratou kino katoa i runga i a ia ki tetahi whenua mokemoke: a ka tukua atu te koati ki te koraha.

23 Na ka haere a Arona ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a ka unuhia atu nga kakahu rinena i kakahuria e ia i tona haerenga ki roto ki te wahi tapu, ka waiho hoki ki reira:

24 Me horoi ano e ia tona kikokiko ki te wai ki te wahi tapu, ka kakahu ai i ona kakahu, a ka puta mai ia ki waho, ka mea hoki i tana tahunga tinana, i te tahunga tinana hoki a te iwi, hei whakamarie mona, mo te iwi.

25 Me tahu ano e ia te ngako o te whakahere hara ki runga ki te aata.

26 Ko te kaituku hoki o te koati hei koati haere noa, me horoi e ia ona kakahu, me horoi ano tona kikokiko ki te wai, a muri iho, ka haere mai ki te puni.

27 A ko te puru mo te whakahere hara, me te koati mo te whakahere hara, no raua nei nga toto i kawea ki roto ki te wahi tapu hei whakamarie, me mau ki waho o te puni; a ka tahuna ki te ahi o raua hiako, o raua kikokiko, me to raua paru.

28 Na, ko te kaitahu, me horoi ona kakahu, me horoi ano tona kikokiko ki te wai, a muri iho, ka haere mai ki te puni.

29 Hei tikanga pumau ano tenei ma koutou: i te whitu o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, me whakapouri o koutou wairua, kaua rawa tetahi mahi e mahia, e te tangata whenua, e te manene ranei i roto i a koutou:

30 Ko a taua rangi hoki te tohunga whakamarie ai mo koutou, hei pure i a koutou i o koutou hara katoa, kia ma ai koutou i te aroaro o Ihowa.

31 Hei hapati okiokinga taua ra ki a koutou, me whakapouri o koutou wairua: hei tikanga pumau.

32 Me whakamarie ano te tohunga e whakawahia nei ia, e whakatohungatia hoki hei tohunga i muri i tona papa, me kakahu ano nga kakahu rinena, nga kakahu tapu:

33 Me whakamarie ia mo te wahi tapu, me whakamarie ano mo te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, mo te aata hoki; me whakamarie ano mo nga tohunga, mo nga tangata katoa hoki o te whakaminenga.

34 Hei tikanga pumau tenei ki a koutou, kia whakamarie mo nga tama a Iharaira, mo o ratou hara katoa: kia kotahi meatanga i te tau. Na ka meinga e ia ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

The Day of Atonement(A)

16 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron who died when they approached the Lord.(B) The Lord said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses(C) into the Most Holy Place(D) behind the curtain(E) in front of the atonement cover(F) on the ark, or else he will die. For I will appear(G) in the cloud(H) over the atonement cover.

“This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place:(I) He must first bring a young bull(J) for a sin offering[a] and a ram for a burnt offering.(K) He is to put on the sacred linen tunic,(L) with linen undergarments next to his body; he is to tie the linen sash around him and put on the linen turban.(M) These are sacred garments;(N) so he must bathe himself with water(O) before he puts them on.(P) From the Israelite community(Q) he is to take two male goats(R) for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

“Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household.(S) Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He is to cast lots(T) for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.[b](U) Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement(V) by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat.

11 “Aaron shall bring the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household,(W) and he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering. 12 He is to take a censer full of burning coals(X) from the altar before the Lord and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense(Y) and take them behind the curtain. 13 He is to put the incense on the fire before the Lord, and the smoke of the incense will conceal the atonement cover(Z) above the tablets of the covenant law, so that he will not die.(AA) 14 He is to take some of the bull’s blood(AB) and with his finger sprinkle it on the front of the atonement cover; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the atonement cover.(AC)

15 “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people(AD) and take its blood behind the curtain(AE) and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle(AF) it on the atonement cover and in front of it. 16 In this way he will make atonement(AG) for the Most Holy Place(AH) because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting,(AI) which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 No one is to be in the tent of meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he comes out, having made atonement for himself, his household and the whole community of Israel.

18 “Then he shall come out to the altar(AJ) that is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He shall take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.(AK) 19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and to consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.(AL)

20 “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat.(AM) 21 He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat(AN) and confess(AO) over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their sins(AP) to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.

23 “Then Aaron is to go into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments(AQ) he put on before he entered the Most Holy Place, and he is to leave them there.(AR) 24 He shall bathe himself with water in the sanctuary area(AS) and put on his regular garments.(AT) Then he shall come out and sacrifice the burnt offering for himself and the burnt offering for the people,(AU) to make atonement for himself and for the people.(AV) 25 He shall also burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26 “The man who releases the goat as a scapegoat(AW) must wash his clothes(AX) and bathe himself with water;(AY) afterward he may come into the camp. 27 The bull and the goat for the sin offerings, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp;(AZ) their hides, flesh and intestines are to be burned up. 28 The man who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may come into the camp.(BA)

29 “This is to be a lasting ordinance(BB) for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month(BC) you must deny yourselves[c](BD) and not do any work(BE)—whether native-born(BF) or a foreigner residing among you— 30 because on this day atonement will be made(BG) for you, to cleanse you. Then, before the Lord, you will be clean from all your sins.(BH) 31 It is a day of sabbath rest, and you must deny yourselves;(BI) it is a lasting ordinance.(BJ) 32 The priest who is anointed and ordained(BK) to succeed his father as high priest is to make atonement. He is to put on the sacred linen garments(BL) 33 and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, for the tent of meeting and the altar, and for the priests and all the members of the community.(BM)

34 “This is to be a lasting ordinance(BN) for you: Atonement is to be made once a year(BO) for all the sins of the Israelites.”

And it was done, as the Lord commanded Moses.
