< Leviticus 22 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings that the Israelites have consecrated to Me, so that they do not profane My holy name. I am the LORD.
Lea 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.
3 Tell them that for the generations to come, if any of their descendants in a state of uncleanness approaches the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from My presence. I am the LORD.
Tala 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.
4 If a descendant of Aaron has a skin disease or a discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything defiled by a corpse or by a man who has an emission of semen,
“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;
5 or whoever touches a crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be—
Pe 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;
6 the man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.
Ko 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.
7 When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
Pea ka tō ʻae laʻā, ʻe toki maʻa ia, pea kai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni; he koeʻuhi ko ʻene meʻakai ia.
8 He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. I am the LORD.
Ko 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.
9 The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
“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.
10 No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired hand eat it.
“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.
11 But if a priest buys a slave with his own money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.
Pea 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.
12 If the priest’s daughter is married to a man other than a priest, she is not to eat of the sacred contributions.
Pea 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.
13 But if a priest’s daughter with no children becomes widowed or divorced and returns to her father’s house, she may share her father’s food as in her youth. But no outsider may share it.
Pea 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.
14 If anyone eats a sacred offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the sacred offering to the priest.
“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.
15 The priests must not profane the sacred offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD
Pea ʻe ʻikai tenau fakahalaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu kia Sihova:
16 by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”
Pe 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.”
17 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or any foreign resident who presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, whether to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,
Lea 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:
19 must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for it to be accepted on your behalf.
Ke 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.
20 You must not present anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
Ka ko ia ʻoku ai hano mele, ʻoua naʻa mou ʻatu ia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai leleiʻia ai ʻakimoutolu.
21 When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without blemish or defect to be acceptable.
Pea 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.
22 You are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed, or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab; you must not put any of these on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Ko 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.
23 You may present as a freewill offering an ox or sheep that has a deformed or stunted limb, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow.
Ko 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.
24 You are not to present to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut; you are not to sacrifice them in your land.
‌ʻOua 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.
25 Neither you nor a foreigner shall present food to your God from any such animal. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and flawed.’”
Pea 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.
26 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
27 “When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
‌ʻOka 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.
28 But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.
Pea kapau ko ha pulu fefine ia pe ha sipi fefine, ʻoua naʻa mou tāmateʻi ia mo hono ʻuhiki ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.
29 When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf.
Pea ka mou ka loto ke ʻatu ha feilaulau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻatu ia ʻi he loto ʻataʻatā lelei pe.
30 It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.
‌ʻI he ʻaho pe ko ia ʻe kai ia ke ʻosi ʻoua naʻa mou tuku hono toe ki he ʻapongipongi; Ko au ko Sihova.
31 You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD.
“Ko ia ke mou tauhi ai ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo fai ki ai; Ko au ko Sihova.
32 You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,
Pea ʻoua naʻa mou fakahalaʻi hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni; kae ʻapasia kiate au ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: Ko au ko Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ou fakatapui ʻakimoutolu;
33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”
Naʻaku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke hoko ko homou ʻOtua: Ko au ko Sihova.”
