1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2Lea kia ʻElone pea ki hono ngaahi foha, koeʻuhi kenau fakamavae ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ke “ʻOua naʻa nau fakahalaʻi hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku nau fakatapui kiate au: Ko au ko Sihova.
2Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto Me, and that they profane not My holy name: I am the LORD.
3Tala kiate kinautolu, Ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi homou hako kotoa pē ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata, ʻoku ʻalu ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku fakatapui ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, ka ʻoku ne taʻemaʻa, ʻe motuhi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei hoku ʻao: Ko au ko Sihova.
3Say unto them: Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before Me: I am the LORD.
4“Ko e tangata ko ia ʻi he hako ʻo ʻElone ʻoku kilia, pe mahaki ko e ʻau; ʻoua naʻa kai ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, kaeʻoua ke maʻa ia. Pea mo ia ʻoku ala ki ha meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻi he mate, pe ʻi ha tangata ʻoku ʻau noa hono mahaki;
4What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any one that is unclean by the dead; or from whomsoever the flow of seed goeth out;
5Pe ha taha ʻoku ala ki ha meʻa totolo, ʻaia ʻe hoko ʻo taʻemaʻa ai, pe ʻi ha tangata ʻaia ʻe hoko ʻo pihia ai, ʻi he mahaki ʻoku taʻemaʻa ai ia;
5or whosoever toucheth any swarming thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6Ko e tangata kuo ala ki ha meʻa pehē ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea ʻe ʻikai kai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, kaeʻoua ke kaukau hono sino ʻi he vai.
6the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
7Pea ka tō ʻae laʻā, ʻe toki maʻa ia, pea kai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni; he koeʻuhi ko ʻene meʻakai ia.
7And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8Ko ia ʻoku mate mahaki pe, pe ko ia kuo haehae ʻe he manu, ʻoua naʻa ne kai ia ke fakahala ai ia: Ko au ko Sihova.
8That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
9“Ko ia kenau tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ni, telia naʻa nau halaia ai, pea mate ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku nau fakahalaʻi ia: Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu.
9They shall therefore keep My charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am the LORD who sanctify them.
10“ʻE ʻikai kai ʻe ha muli ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni: ko e ʻāunofo ʻae taulaʻeiki, pe ko e tamaioʻeiki unga ngāue, ʻe ʻikai kai ia ʻi he meʻa māʻoniʻoni.
10There shall no common man eat of the holy thing; a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11Pea kapau ʻe fakatau ha tokotaha ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻaki ʻene paʻanga, ʻe ngofua ʻene kai ʻaʻana, pea mo ia kuo fānau ʻi hono fale: te na kai ʻi heʻene meʻakai.
11But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he may eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they may eat of his bread.
12Pea kapau ʻoku mali ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe taulaʻeiki mo e tangata kehe, ʻe ʻikai ngofua ʻa ʻene kai ʻaʻana ʻi he meʻa ʻatu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni.
12And if a priest's daughter be married unto a common man, she shall not eat of that which is set apart from the holy things.
13Pea kapau ko e fefine paea ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pe kuo fakamāvaeʻi pea ʻikai haʻane tamasiʻi, pea kuo toe ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻo hangē ko ʻene kei siʻi, ʻe kai ia ʻi he meʻakai ʻa ʻene tamai: kaeʻoua naʻa kai ia ʻe ha muli.
13But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread; but there shall no common man eat thereof.
14¶ “Pea kapau ʻe kai faainoa pe ʻe ha tangata ʻae meʻa māʻoniʻoni, te ne fakalahi ʻaki ia hono nima ʻoe vahe ʻo ia, pea ʻatu ia ki he taulaʻeiki fakataha mo e meʻa māʻoniʻoni.
14And if a man eat of the holy thing through error, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.
15Pea ʻe ʻikai tenau fakahalaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu kia Sihova:
15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they set apart unto the LORD;
16Pe tuku ʻakinautolu ke fua ʻae hia ʻae fai hala, ʻi heʻenau kai ʻenau ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu.”
16and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctify them.
17¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
17And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
18Lea kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻilonga ʻae tangata ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he ngaahi muli ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku loto ke ʻatu ʻene meʻaʻofa ʻi heʻene ngaahi fuakava, pea ki heʻene ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻatu loto ʻataʻatā pe, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu kia Sihova ko e feilaulau tutu:
18Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that bringeth his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their free-will-offerings, which are brought unto the LORD for a burnt-offering;
19Ke mou ʻatu ʻo fai loto lelei pe, ʻae manu tangata taʻehanomele mei he fanga pulu pe ko e fanga sipi, pe ko e fanga kosi.
19that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20Ka ko ia ʻoku ai hano mele, ʻoua naʻa mou ʻatu ia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai leleiʻia ai ʻakimoutolu.
20But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not bring; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21Pea ko ia ʻoku ne ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakamelino ke fakahoko ʻaki ʻene fuakava, pea ko e meʻa ʻatu loto lelei ʻi he fanga pulu, pe ʻi he fanga sipi, ke haohaoa ia koeʻuhi ke maʻu lelei ia; ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai hano mele.
21And whosoever bringeth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
22Ko e kui, pe ko e fasi, pe ko e mutu, pe ko e meʻa fufula, pe ko e kamaa, pe ko e mongumangu, ʻoua naʻa mou ʻatu mei ai kia Sihova, pe fai ʻaki ia ha feilaulau tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ki he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova.
22Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
23Ko e pulu pe ko e lami ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa kovi, pe ʻoku taʻehaohaoa ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, ʻe ngofua ke ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau loto ʻataʻatā ia: ka ʻe ʻikai maʻu lelei ia ʻi he fuakava.
23Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing too long or too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24ʻOua naʻa mou ʻatu kia Sihova ʻaia kuo fakavolu, pe kuo taʻomia, pe kuo mafesi, pe kuo mahifi; pea ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻi homou fonua.
24That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut, ye shall not offer unto the LORD; neither shall ye do thus in your land.
25Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻatu ʻi he nima ʻo ha muli ʻae meʻakai ʻa homou ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni; koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻi ai ʻenau kovi, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi mele: ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga ia maʻamoutolu.
25Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them; they shall not be accepted for you.
26¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
26And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
27ʻOka fanauʻi ha pulu, pe ha sipi, pe ha kosi, tuku ia ke ʻaho fitu mo ʻene faʻē: pea mei he ʻaho valu ʻo fai ai pe ʻe maʻu lelei pe ia ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova.
27When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; but from the eighth day and thenceforth it may be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28Pea kapau ko ha pulu fefine ia pe ha sipi fefine, ʻoua naʻa mou tāmateʻi ia mo hono ʻuhiki ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.
28And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29Pea ka mou ka loto ke ʻatu ha feilaulau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻatu ia ʻi he loto ʻataʻatā lelei pe.
29And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
30ʻI he ʻaho pe ko ia ʻe kai ia ke ʻosi ʻoua naʻa mou tuku hono toe ki he ʻapongipongi; Ko au ko Sihova.
30On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the LORD.
31“Ko ia ke mou tauhi ai ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo fai ki ai; Ko au ko Sihova.
31And ye shall keep My commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
32Pea ʻoua naʻa mou fakahalaʻi hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni; kae ʻapasia kiate au ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: Ko au ko Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ou fakatapui ʻakimoutolu;
32And ye shall not profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who hallow you,
33Naʻaku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke hoko ko homou ʻOtua: Ko au ko Sihova.”
33that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
