Te Kūwaha i Tūtakingia
1 Kātahi ahau ka whakahokia e ia nā te ara o te kūwaha o waho o te wāhi tapu e anga ana ki te rāwhiti; nā, kua oti te tūtaki. 2 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau, “Ko tēnei kūwaha me tūtaki tonu, e kore e whakatuwheratia, e kore anō tētahi tangata e tomo mā konei. Nō te mea i nā konei atu a Ihowā, te Atua o Īharaira; nā reira i tūtakina ai. 3 Tēnā ko te rangatira, me noho ia ki konei, he rangatira, ki te kai taro i te aroaro o Ihowā, ko tōna ara ki roto kei te whakamahau o taua kūwaha; ko tōna ara anō tēnā ki waho.”
Te Kuhunga ki te Temepara
4 Kātahi ahau ka kawea e ia nā te ara o te kūwaha ki te raki, ki te aronga o te whare. Nā, i tāku tirohanga atu, nanā, kua kī te whare o Ihowā i te korōria o Ihowā, ā, tāpapa ana ahau.
5 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau, “E te tama a te tangata anga mai tōu ngākau, titiro hoki ōu kanohi, whakarongo anō ōu taringa ki ngā mea katoa e kōrero ai ahau ki a koe mō ngā tikanga katoa o te whare o Ihowā, mō ngā ture katoa anō o reira; āta mahara anō ki te tomokanga atu ki te whare, ki ngā putanga katoa hoki i te wāhi tapu. 6 Me kī atu anō e koe ki te hunga whakakeke, ki te whare o Īharaira: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Kāti rā ā koutou mea whakarihariha, e te whare o Īharaira. 7 Kua kawea mai nā hoki e koutou he tautāngata, he hunga kīhai i kotia te ngākau, kīhai i kotia te kikokiko, ki tōku wāhi tapu noho ai, hei whakapoke mō reira, arā mō tōku whare, i te mea e whakaherea ana e koutou tāku taro, te ngako, me te toto, ā, hē iho tāku kawenata i a rātou, hei āpiti ki ā koutou mea whakarihariha katoa. 8 Kīhai anō i mau i a koutou te tiaki i āku mea tapu; heoi whakaritea ana e koutou ā koutou ake kaitiaki mō āku mea i roto i tōku wāhi tapu. 9 Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Kaua tētahi tautangata kīhai i kotia te ngākau, kīhai i kotia te kikokiko, e tomo ki tōku wāhi tapu, o ngā tautāngata katoa i roto i ngā tama a Īharaira.
10 “Engari, ko ngā Rīwaiti i mawehe atu rā i ahau, i te kotititanga kētanga o Īharaira, i a rātou i kotiti atu ai i ahau, i whai ai i ā rātou whakapakoko; ka mau ki a rātou tō rātou kino. 11 Otiia, hei minita anō rātou i roto i tōku wāhi tapu, hei tiaki i ngā kūwaha o te whare, hei minita ki te whare. Mā rātou e patu te tahunga tinana me te patunga tapu a te iwi, me tū anō rātou ki tō rātou aroaro minita ai ki a rātou. 12 Nō te mea i minita rātou ki a rātou i te aroaro o ā rātou whakapakoko, ā, meinga ana e rātou te whare o Īharaira kia taka ki te kino. Nā reira i ara ai tōku ringa ki a rātou, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā; ka mau ki a rātou tō rātou kino. 13 E kore anō rātou e whakatata ki ahau, hei tohunga māku, e kore anō e whakatata ki tētahi o āku mea tapu i te Wāhi Tapu Rawa. Engari, ka mau tō rātou whakamā ki a rātou, me ā rātou mea whakarihariha i mahia e rātou. 14 Otirā, ka meinga rātou e ahau hei kaitiaki mō ngā mea o te whare, mō ngā mahi katoa o reira, mō ngā mea katoa anō e meatia ki reira.”
Ngā Tohunga Rīwaiti
15 “Engari ērā tohunga, ngā Rīwaiti, ngā tama a Hāroko, i tiaki nei i ngā mea o tōku wāhi tapu, i ngā tama a Īharaira i kotiti kē atu rā i ahau, ko rātou e whakatata ki ahau ki te minita ki ahau, ka tū anō rātou i tōku aroaro hei whakahere i te ngako, i te toto, ki ahau, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā. 16 Ko rātou e tomo ki roto ki tōku wāhi tapu, ko rātou anō e whakatata ki tāku tēpu hei minita ki ahau, mā rātou anō āku mea e tiaki.
17 “Ā, ka tomo rātou ki roto ki ngā kūwaha o tō roto marae, hei te kākahu rīnena he kākahu mō rātou; kaua hoki tētahi mea huruhuru e mau ki a rātou, i a rātou e minita ana i roto i ngā kūwaha o tō roto marae, i roto anō i te whare. 18 He pōtae rīnena mō ō rātou māhunga, he tarautete rīnena anō hoki mō ō rātou hope; kaua e whītikiria e rātou he mea e heke ai te werawera. 19 Nā, ka haere atu rātou ki tō waho marae, arā ki te marae i waho, ki te iwi, me unu ō rātou kākahu i minita ai rātou, ka waiho ki ngā rūma tapu, ā, me kākahu ētahi atu kākahu; kei tapu te iwi i ō rātou kākahu.
20 “Kaua anō rātou e heu i ō rātou māhunga, kaua ngā makawe e whakatupuria kia roa; ko te kutikuti anake mō ō rātou māhunga. 21 Kaua anō tētahi tohunga e inu wāina, ina haere rātou ki tō roto marae. 22 Kaua anō rātou e tango i te pouaru, i te mea rānei i whakarērea, hei wahine mā rātou; engari, ko tā rātou e tango ai hei ngā wāhina o ngā uri o te whare o Īharaira, hei te pouaru rānei a tētahi tohunga. 23 Ā, me whakaako e rātou tōku iwi ki te wehe i te tapu, i te noa; me mea kia mōhio ki te poke, ki te mā.
24 “I te tautohetohenga hoki me tū rātou hei whakawā; kia rite anō ā rātou whakawā ki āku whakawā. Me pupuri e rātou āku ture, me āku tikanga i roto i āku hākari whakarite katoa; me whakatapu anō e rātou āku hāpati.
25 “Kaua anō rātou e tae ki te tūpāpaku, whakapoke ai i a rātou; e whakapoke anō ia rātou i a rātou anō mō te pāpā, mō te whaea, mō te tama, mō te tamāhine, mō te tuakana, teina rānei, mō te tuahine kāhore nei āna tahu. 26 Ā, ka oti ia te pure, me tatau kia whitu ngā rā mōna. 27 Nā, ā te rā e tomo ai ia ki te wāhi tapu, ki tō roto marae, ki te minita i roto i te wāhi tapu, me whakahere e ia tāna whakahere hara, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
28 “Ā, ka whai kāinga tupu rātou: Ko ahau hei kāinga tupu mō rātou. Kaua hoki tētahi kāinga e hoatu ki a rātou i roto i a Īharaira; ko ahau hei kāinga mō rātou. 29 Ko te whakahere totokore, ko te whakahere hara, ko te whakahere mō te hē, hei kai mā rātou; mā rātou anō ngā mea katoa i oti rawa mai i roto i a Īharaira. 30 Nā, ko te tuatahi o ngā mātāmua katoa o ngā mea katoa, me ngā whakahere katoa o ā koutou tini whakahere katoa, mā ngā tohunga; me te tuatahi anō o tā koutou parāoa pokepoke, me hoatu e koutou ki te tohunga, kia tau ai he manaaki ki tōu whare. 31 Kaua te tohunga e kai i te mea mate māori, i te mea rānei i haea, ahakoa manu, ahakoa kararehe.”
