1“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae feilaulauʻanga ke tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala: ke ke ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻakau ko e sitimi.
1And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; of acacia-wood shalt thou make it.
2Ko e hanga ʻe ua ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe ua ʻa hono māukupu; ʻe tatau pe hono potu ʻe fā: pea ko e hanga ʻe fā ʻa hono māʻolunga: pea ko hono ngaahi nifo ʻe ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia.
2A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof; the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it.
3Pea te ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa, ʻa hono funga mo hono ngaahi kaokao ʻo takatakai ia, mo hono ngaahi nifo; pea te ke ngaohi ki ai ʻae tatā koula ke takatakai.
3And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
4Pea te ke ngaohi ki ai ʻae kavei koula ʻe ua, ʻi lalo ʻi he tatā, ʻo ofi ki hono tuliki ʻe ua, ke ke ngaohi ia ki hono faʻahi ʻe ua: pea ko e ʻaiʻanga ia ʻoe ongo ʻakau ke haʻamo ʻaki.
4And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof, upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it.
5Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ongo haʻamo ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e sitimi, pea ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula.
5And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.
6Pea te ke tuku ia ʻi he tuʻa puipui ʻoku ofi ki he puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he fuakava, ʻaia te u fakafetaulaki ai mo koe.
6And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the ark-cover that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7Pea ʻe tutu ʻi ai ʻe ʻElone ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē: ʻi heʻene teuʻi ʻae ngaahi maama, te ne tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala.
7And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices; every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it.
8Pea ka tutu ʻe ʻElone ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi he efiafi, pea ʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki ai, ko e meʻa namu kakala maʻuaipē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
8And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at dusk, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
9ʻOua te mou ʻatu ʻi ai ha meʻa namu kakala kehe, pe ha feilaulau tutu, pe ha feilaulau meʻakai: pea ʻoua naʻa mou lilingi ki ai ha feilaulau inu.
9Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon.
10Pea ʻe fai ʻe ʻElone ʻo tuʻo taha ʻi he taʻu ʻae fakalelei ʻi he ngaahi nifo ʻo ia ʻaki ʻae toto ʻoe feilaulau fakalelei maʻae angahala: tuʻo taha ʻi he taʻu te ne fai ʻae fakalelei ʻi ai ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata ko e meʻa tapu lahi ia kia Sihova.”
10And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations; it is most holy unto the LORD.'
11¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
11And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
12“ʻOka ke ka lau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki honau tokolahi, te nau toki ʻatu kia Sihova ʻe he tangata taki taha ha meʻa ke huhuʻi ʻaki hono laumālie, ʻoka ke ka lau ʻakinautolu: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ha malaʻia kiate kinautolu, ʻoka ke ka lau ʻakinautolu.
12'When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
13Ko eni ia te nau ʻatu: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kau mo kinautolu kuo lau, ʻe ʻatu hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe sikeli ʻo fakatatau ki he sikeli ʻoe fale fehikitaki: (pea ko e kela ʻe uofulu ʻae sikeli,) ko hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe sikeli ko e feilaulau ia kia Sihova.
13This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary — the shekel is twenty gerahs — half a shekel for an offering to the LORD.
14Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kau mo kinautolu kuo lau, mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo ʻene motuʻa ʻo fai hake, te nau ʻomi ha feilaulau kia Sihova.
14Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of the LORD.
15ʻE ʻikai ʻatu ha meʻa lahi hake ʻe he koloaʻia, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻatu ke siʻi hifo ʻe he masiva ʻi he vaeuaʻanga ʻoe sikeli, ʻoka nau ka ʻatu ʻae meʻaʻofa kia Sihova, ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko honau laumālie.
15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.
16Pea te ke toʻo ʻae ngaahi paʻanga fakalelei ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo vahe ia ki he ngāue ʻoe fale fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai: koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e meʻa fakamanatu ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei ki homou laumālie.”
16And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.'
17¶ “Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē:
17And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
18Ke ke ngaohi foki ʻae sene palasa pea palasa mo hono tuʻunga foki, ke fanofano ai: pea ke tuku ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fale fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai mo e feilaulauʻanga, pea ke lingi ki ai ʻae vai.
18'Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash; and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
19He ko ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha te nau fanofano honau nima mo kaukau honau vaʻe ʻi ai:
19And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat;
20ʻI heʻenau hū ki he fale fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai, te nau fanofano ʻaki ʻae vai, telia naʻa nau mate; pe ʻi heʻenau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga ke ngāue, ke tutu ʻae feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova:
20when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to cause an offering made by fire to smoke unto the LORD;
21Ko ia te nau fanofano honau nima mo kaukauʻi honau vaʻe, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau mate: pea ko e fekau maʻuaipē ia kiate kinautolu, ʻio, kiate ia mo ʻene fānau ʻi honau ngaahi toʻutangata.”
21so they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not; and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.'
22¶ Pea naʻe folofola foki ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
22Moreover the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
23“Ke ke toʻo foki kiate koe ʻae ʻakau fungani nanamu, ko e mula moʻonia, ko e sikeli e nimangeau, mo e sinamoni namu kakala, hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha, ʻio, ko e sikeli e uangeau mo e nimangofulu, mo e kalamusi namu kakala ko e sikeli e uangeau ma nimangofulu,
23'Take thou also unto thee the chief spices, of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,
24Pea mo e kāsia ko e sikeli e nimangeau, ʻo fakatatau ki he sikeli ʻoe fale tapu, mo e lolo ʻolive ko e hini ʻe taha:
24and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.
25Pea te ke ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae lolo tākai ʻoku tapu, ko e lolo tākai kuo hakaluku ʻo fakatatau mo e poto ʻoe tufunga fai lolo lelei: ko e lolo tākai tapu ia.
25And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26Pea ke tākai ʻaki ia ʻae fale fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava,
26And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
27Mo e palepale mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē, mo e tuʻunga maama mo hono ngaahi nāunau, mo e feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala,
27and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,
28Mo e feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu mo hono nāunau kotoa pē, mo e sene mo hono tuʻunga.
28and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof.
29Pe te ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu ke nau māʻoniʻoni lahi: ko ia fulipē ʻe lave ki ai ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia.
29And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy; whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
30Pea te ke tākai ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo fakanofo ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue ʻae taulaʻeiki.
30And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office.
31Pea ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, koe lolo tākai tapu eni kiate au ʻi homou toʻutangata kotoa pē.
31And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying: This shall be a holy anointing oil unto Me throughout your generations.
32ʻOua naʻa lingi ia ki he sino ʻoe tangata, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha lolo ke hangē ko ia hono ngaohi; ʻoku tapu ia, pea ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate kimoutolu.
32Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
33Ko ia ʻe fai ha lolo hangē ko ia, mo ia ʻoku ne ʻai ia ki ha taha kehe, ʻe motuhi ia mei hono kakai.”
33Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'
34¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Toʻo kiate koe ʻae ngaahi ʻakau nanamu, ʻae sitakiti, mo e ʻonika, mo e kalipeno; ko e ngaahi ʻakau nanamu ni mo e laipeno moʻonia: ke mamafa tatau pe kotoa pē:
34And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense; of each shall there be a like weight.
35Pea ke ngaohi ia ko e meʻa tākai nanamu, ʻo fefiofi ʻo fakatatau ki he poto ʻoe tufunga fai lolo, ʻo natu fakataha ke lelei mo tapu.
35And thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36Pea te ke tuki hono meʻa siʻi ke fakaikiiki, ʻo ʻai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fuakava ʻi he fale fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai, ʻaia te u fakafetaulaki ai kiate koe: ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e meʻa tapu lahi.
36And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee; it shall be unto you most holy.
37Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa namu kakala te ke ngaohi, ʻoua naʻa mou ngaohi maʻamoutolu ʻo fakatatau mo hono ngaohi ʻo ia: ʻe ʻiate koe ia ko e meʻa tapu kia Sihova.
37And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves; it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
38Ko ia ʻe fai ke hangē ko ia ke nanamu ki ai, ʻe motuhi ia mei hono kakai.”
38Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people.'
