Leviticus 17
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
2 Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.
“Gwa Erọn, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, na ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.
3 If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle;
Onye ọbụla bụ onye ụlọ Izrel gbuo ehi, maọbụ nwa atụrụ, maọbụ ewu nʼogige ebe obibi, maọbụ nʼazụ ebe obibi,
4 And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:
ma o wetaghị ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute iche ya dịka onyinye nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, a ga-agụ onye ahụ dịka onye ikpe iwufu ọbara mara. Ọ wụfuola ọbara, nʼihi ya, a ga-esite nʼetiti ndị ya kewapụ ya.
5 So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.
Ihe e ji nye iwu a bụ ka ụmụ Izrel wetara Onyenwe anyị aja niile ha na-achụ ugbu a na mbara ezi ọbụla. Ha kwesiri iwetara ya Onyenwe anyị site nʼaka onye nchụaja nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, ka o jiri ya chụọrọ ha aja udo.
6 And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-efesa ọbara ahụ nʼebe ịchụ aja dị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, kpọọkwa abụba ya ọkụ, ka ọ bụrụ aja nsure ọkụ nke isisi ya dị Onyenwe anyị ezi ụtọ.
7 And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.
O kwesikwaghị ka ndị Izrel chụọ aja ha ọzọ na mbara ezi nye arụsị ewu ndị ha na-akpọ isiala nye. Iwu a ga-adịgide nye ha na ụmụ ha niile, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.’
8 And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering,
“Gwa ha, ‘Onye Izrel ọbụla, maọbụ onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu, nke ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ maọbụ aja ọzọ,
9 And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.
ma o webataghị ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, ebe a ga-achụrụ ya Onyenwe anyị, ka a ga-ewezuga site nʼetiti ndị ya.
10 And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people.
“‘Onye Izrel ọbụla maọbụ onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti ha, nke riri ọbara ọbụla ka m ga-eche ihu m megide. A ga-ewezuga ya site nʼetiti ndị m.
11 For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.
Nʼihi na ndụ ihe nwere ndụ dị nʼọbara ya, ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji nye iwu na a ga-awụsa ọbara niile nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja, maka iji ya kpuchie mmehie unu. Ọ bụ ọbara na-ekpuchi mmehie maka ndụ mmadụ.
12 For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.
Nʼihi nke a, a sịrị ndị Izrel, “Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu, maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla nke bi nʼetiti unu ga-eri ọbara.”
13 And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.
“‘Onye Izrel ọbụla, na onye ọbịa ọbụla binyere unu nke gara ịchụ nta, gbuo anụ maọbụ nnụnụ ọbụla a na-eri eri, ga-awụfu ọbara ya were aja kpuchie ya.
14 For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.
Nʼihi na ndụ ihe niile nwere ndụ dị nʼọbara. Ọ bụ ya mere m ji nye ụmụ Izrel iwu si unu erila ọbara anụmanụ ọbụla, nʼihi na ndụ ihe niile nwere ndụ dị nʼọbara ya. Nʼihi ya onye ọbụla riri ọbara, a ga-ekewapụ ya site nʼetiti ndị m.
15 And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.
“‘Mmadụ ọbụla, maọbụ nwa afọ ma ọ bụkwanụ onye ọbịa, nke riri anụ nwụrụ nʼonwe ya, maọbụ nke anụ ọhịa dọgburu, ga-eji mmiri saa uwe ya na ahụ ya, ọ ga-abụkwa onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi tupu ọ dị ọcha ọzọ.
16 But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ saghị uwe ya na ahụ ya, ikpe ọmụma dị ya nʼisi.’”
