10  Na ka mau a Natapa raua ko Apihu, nga tama a Arona, ki a raua tahu kakara, a maka ana he ahi ki roto, a whakatakotoria iho e raua he whakakakara ki runga, na whakaherea ana e raua he ahi ke ki te aroaro o Ihowa, he mea kihai i whakahaua e ia ki a raua.

Na ko te putanga mai o te ahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, a pau ake raua, a mate iho raua i te aroaro o Ihowa.

Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, Ko te mea tenei i korero ra a Ihowa, i mea ra, Me whakatapu ahau e te hunga katoa e whakatata mai ana ki ahau, me whakakororia ano hoki ahau ki te aroaro o te iwi katoa. A whakarongo puku ana a Arona.

Na ka karanga a Mohi ki a Mihaera raua ko Eritapana, nga tama a Utiere matua keke o Arona, ka mea ki a raua, Haere mai, maua atu o korua tuakana i mua i te wahi tapu, ki waho o te puni.

Na ka haere raua, ka mau i a raua i roto i o raua koti ki waho o te puni; i pera ano raua me ta Mohi i ki ai.

Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, ratou ko ana tama ko Ereatara, ko Itamara, Kaua nga makawe o o koutou matenga e waiho kia mahora noa, kaua ano hoki e haea o koutou kakahu; kei mate koutou, kei riria hoki te iwi katoa: engari kia tangihia e o koutou teina, e te whare katoa o Iharaira, te tahunga i tahuna nei e Ihowa.

Kaua hoki koutou e puta i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, kei mate koutou: kei runga hoki i a koutou te hinu whakawahi a Ihowa. Na ka meatia e ratou ta Mohi i korero ai.

Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Arona, ka mea,

Kaua e inumia he waina, tetahi wai whakahaurangi ranei, e koutou tahi ko au tama, ina haere ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, kei mate koutou: hei tikanga pumau tenei ki o koutou whakatupuranga:

10 Kia taea ai hoki te wehe, te tapu me te noa, te poke me to pokekore;

11 Kia taea ai hoki te whakaako i nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tikanga katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki a ratou, ara e Mohi.

12 I korero ano a Mohi ki a Arona, ki ana tama ano i ora, ki a Ereatara, ki a Itamara, Tikina te whakahere totokore e toe ana o nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa, ka kai rewenakore ai ki te taha o te aata: he tino tapu hoki:

13 A me kai ki te wahi tapu, ko taua wahi hoki o nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa mau, ma au tama hoki: ko te mea tena i whakahaua ki ahau.

14 Ko te uma poipoi me te huha hapahapai me kai ki te wahi pokekore, e koe, e koutou tahi ko au tama, ko au tamahine: i whakaritea hoki ena hei wahi mau, hei wahi hoki ma au tama, he mea homai no roto i nga patunga mo te pai a nga tama a Iharaira.

15 Me kawe tahi mai e ratou te huha hapahapai, te uma poipoi, me te ngako mo nga whakahere ahi, a ka poipoia hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka waiho ma koutou tahi ko au tama; hei tikanga pumau tenei; ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai.

16 Na ka ata rapu a Mohi i te koati o te whakahere hara, na kua tahuna: na ka riri ia ki a Ereatara raua ko Itamara, ki nga tama a Arona i ora, ka mea,

17 He aha te kainga ai e koutou te whakahere hara ki te wahi tapu, he tino tapu nei hoki, a kua homai ano ma koutou, ma koutou hoki e waha te kino o te whakaminenga, e whakamarie hoki mo ratou ki te aroaro o Ihowa?

18 Titiro hoki, kahore ano ona toto i kawea ki roto ki te wahi tapu: ko te tikanga kia kainga tena e koutou ki te wahi tapu, ko taku hoki i whakahau ai.

19 Na ka mea atu a Arona ki a Mohi, Nana, nonaianei i whakaherea ai e ratou ta ratou whakahere hara, me ta ratou tahunga tinana, ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a kua pa mai enei mea ki ahau: a me i kainga te whakahere hara e ahau inaianei, tera ranei e mana kohia mai e Ihowa?

20 A ka rongo a Mohi, na ka whakaae.

The Death of Nadab and Abihu

10 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu(A) took their censers,(B) put fire in them(C) and added incense;(D) and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord,(E) contrary to his command.(F) So fire came out(G) from the presence of the Lord and consumed them,(H) and they died before the Lord.(I) Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke of when he said:

“‘Among those who approach me(J)
    I will be proved holy;(K)
in the sight of all the people
    I will be honored.(L)’”

Aaron remained silent.

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan,(M) sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel,(N) and said to them, “Come here; carry your cousins outside the camp,(O) away from the front of the sanctuary.(P) So they came and carried them, still in their tunics,(Q) outside the camp, as Moses ordered.

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar,(R) “Do not let your hair become unkempt[a](S) and do not tear your clothes,(T) or you will die and the Lord will be angry with the whole community.(U) But your relatives, all the Israelites, may mourn(V) for those the Lord has destroyed by fire. Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting(W) or you will die, because the Lord’s anointing oil(X) is on you.” So they did as Moses said.

Then the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons are not to drink wine(Y) or other fermented drink(Z) whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance(AA) for the generations to come, 10 so that you can distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,(AB) 11 and so you can teach(AC) the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses.(AD)

12 Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering(AE) left over from the food offerings prepared without yeast and presented to the Lord and eat it beside the altar,(AF) for it is most holy. 13 Eat it in the sanctuary area,(AG) because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings presented to the Lord; for so I have been commanded.(AH) 14 But you and your sons and your daughters may eat the breast(AI) that was waved and the thigh that was presented. Eat them in a ceremonially clean place;(AJ) they have been given to you and your children as your share of the Israelites’ fellowship offerings. 15 The thigh(AK) that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the food offerings, to be waved before the Lord as a wave offering.(AL) This will be the perpetual share for you and your children, as the Lord has commanded.”

16 When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering[b](AM) and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked, 17 “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering(AN) in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt(AO) of the community by making atonement for them before the Lord. 18 Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place,(AP) you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.(AQ)

19 Aaron replied to Moses, “Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering(AR) before the Lord, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the Lord have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?” 20 When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.
