Leviticus 4

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

2 “Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:

“Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu, sị ha, ‘Mgbe onye ọbụla mehiere na-amaghị ama, megide ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu:

3 If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

“‘Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja e tere mmanụ emehie na-amaghị ama, si otu a weta ikpe ọmụma nʼisi ọha mmadụ. Ọ ga-ewetara Onyenwe anyị otu oke ehi na-enweghị ntụpọ dịka aja mmehie, nʼihi mmehie ahụ o mere.

4 He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.

Ọ ga-ewere oke ehi ahụ bịa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼisi ya, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.

Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja e tere mmanụ ga-eburu ụfọdụ ọbara oke ehi ahụ baa nʼime ụlọ nzute.

6 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

Ọ ga-edenye mkpịsịaka ya nʼime ọbara ahụ, fesa ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu akwa mgbochi nke ebe nsọ ahụ.

7 The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

Onye nchụaja ga-etekwasị ụfọdụ ọbara ahụ na mpi dị nʼebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ihe na-esi isi ụtọ, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼime ụlọ nzute. Ọbara fọdụrụ nʼoke ehi ahụ ka ọ ga-awụsa nʼụkwụ ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ, nʼọnụ ụzọ ịba ụlọ nzute.

8 Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

Ọ ga-ewepụ abụba niile site nʼoke ehi aja mmehie, abụba niile kpuchiri ihe dị nʼime afọ ya na nke jikọtara ha,

9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—

na akụrụ ya abụọ na abụba kpuchiri ha ruo nʼakụkụ ukwu ya, na ihe kpuchiri umeju ya, nke ọ ga-ewepụ ya na akụrụ ya,

10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

dịka e si ewepụ abụba oke ehi e ji chụọ aja udo. Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-akpọ ha ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ.

11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—

Ma akpụkpọ anụ oke ehi ahụ na ahụ ya niile, ma isi ya, na ụkwụ ya, na ihe dị nʼime afọ ya, na mgbịrị afọ ya,

12 all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.

ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼoke ehi ahụ, ka a ga-ebupu nʼazụ ebe obibi ụmụ Izrel, ebe dị ọcha, ebe a na-ekpofu ntụ. Ebe ahụ ka a ga-anọ kpọọ ya ọkụ, nʼọkụ a kwanyere nʼebe a na-ekpofu ntụ.

13 Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,

“‘Ọ bụrụ na nzukọ Izrel niile emehie na-amaghị ama, mee ihe ọbụla megidere ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu nke a na-adịghị eme eme, ọ bụ ezie na ndị obodo amaghị okwu a, mgbe ha ghọtara ikpe ọmụma ha

14 when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.

matakwa mmehie ha mehiere, nzukọ ahụ aghaghị iweta nwa oke ehi dịka aja mmehie, duru ya chee ya nʼihu ụlọ nzute.

15 The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.

Ndị okenye nzukọ Izrel ga-ebikwasị aka ha nʼisi oke ehi ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. A ga-egbu ehi ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,

Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja e tere mmanụ ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ya baa nʼụlọ nzute.

17 and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.

Ọ ga-edenye mkpịsịaka ya nʼime ọbara ahụ fesa ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu akwa mgbochi ahụ.

18 He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

Ọ ga-ete ọbara ụfọdụ nʼelu mpi nke dị nʼebe ịchụ aja nke dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼụlọ nzute. Ọ ga-awụ ọbara nke fọdụrụ nʼụkwụ ala ala, nʼebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ, nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.

19 And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

Ọ ga-ewepụta abụba niile dị ya nʼahụ kpọọ ha ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja.

20 He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.

Ọ ga-eme oke ehi ahụ ihe o mere oke ehi aja mmehie. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchi mmehie ndị Izrel. A ga-agbagharakwa ha.

21 Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

Emesịa, onye nchụaja ga-eburu ozu oke ehi ahụ gaa nʼazụ obodo kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼebe ahụ, dịka o mere oke ehi nke mbụ. Nke a bụ aja mmehie nʼihi nzukọ Izrel.

22 When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.

“‘Mgbe otu nʼime ndịisi obodo mehiere na-amaghị ama, si otu a megide ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyere nʼiwu banyere ihe a na-agaghị eme, mgbe ọ ghọtara ikpe ọmụma ya.

23 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.

Ọ bụrụkwa na-eme ka ọ mata mmehie ya, ọ ghaghị iweta mkpi na-enweghị nkwarụ dịka onyinye nʼihi mmehie ya.

24 He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.

Ọ ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼisi mkpi ahụ. Gbuo ya nʼebe a na-egbu anụ aja nsure ọkụ, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ aja mmehie.

25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-arụrụ ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara aja mmehie ahụ na mkpịsịaka ya tee ya nʼelu mpi ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ. Nke fọdụrụ ka ọ ga-awụpụ nʼụkwụ ala ala ebe ịchụ aja.

26 He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.

Ọ ga-akpọ abụba ya niile ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja dịka o si kpọọ abụba anụ e ji chụọ aja udo ọkụ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchiri onyeisi ahụ mmehie ya. A ga-agbaghara ya.

27 And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.

“‘Ọ bụrụ na otu onye nʼetiti ndị obodo ahụ emehie na-amaghị ama, mee ihe megidere ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu nke a na-adịghị eme eme, mgbe ha ghọtara ikpe ọmụma ha,

28 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.

ọ bụrụkwa na-amata mmehie ha mere, ha ga-eweta nne ewu na-enweghị ntụpọ dịka onyinye nʼihi mmehie ya.

29 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.

Ọ ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼelu isi aja mmehie ahụ, e gbuo ya nʼebe a na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ.

30 Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

Onye nchụaja ga-ewere ụfọdụ ọbara ahụ na mkpịsịaka ya tee ya na mpi nke ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ, ọ ga-awụ ọbara fọdụrụ nʼụkwụ ala ala ebe ịchụ aja.

31 Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

Ọ ga-ewepụ abụba ya niile dịka a na-eme nʼaja udo. Onye nchụaja ga-akpọ ha ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, dịka ihe na-esi isi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja a ga-ekpuchikwara ha mmehie. A ga-agbagharakwa ha.

32 If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.

“‘Ma ọ bụrụ na mmadụ eweta otu atụrụ dịka onyinye nʼihi aja mmehie ya, ọ ghaghị ịbụ nne atụrụ na-enweghị ntụpọ.

33 And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

Ọ ga-eweta ya nʼebe a na-egbu anụ aja nsure ọkụ. Ọ ga-ebikwasị ya aka nʼisi, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ, ka ọ bụrụ aja mmehie ya.

34 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

Onye nchụaja ga-ewere ụfọdụ ọbara anụ aja mmehie ahụ na mkpịsịaka ya, tee ya na mpi dị nʼebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ. Ọ ga-awụ ọbara fọdụrụ nʼụkwụ ala ala nke ebe ịchụ aja.

35 And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the offerings made by fire to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

Ha ga-ewepụ abụba ya niile, dịka a na-eme nʼatụrụ aja udo. Onye nchụaja ga-akpọ abụba ahụ ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja dịka onyinye nsure ọkụ a chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchikwara ha mmehie nʼihi iwu ha dara. A ga-agbaghara ha mmehie ha.
