Leviticus 17
1 The Lord told Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
2 “Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites that this is what the Lord commands:
“Gwa Erọn, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, na ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.
3 Any Israelite who kills a bull, a lamb, or a goat, whether inside the camp or outside of it,
Onye ọbụla bụ onye ụlọ Izrel gbuo ehi, maọbụ nwa atụrụ, maọbụ ewu nʼogige ebe obibi, maọbụ nʼazụ ebe obibi,
4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the Lord there, that person shall be held guilty of illegal killing. They have shed blood and must be expelled from their 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 This is why the Israelites have to bring to the Lord the sacrifices they currently offer out in the fields. They must bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as 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 The priest will sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat to be accepted by 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 They must not continue to offer their sacrifices to the goat devils with whom they have acted like prostitutes. This is a regulation for all time and for all future 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 Warn them that any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
“Gwa ha, ‘Onye Izrel ọbụla, maọbụ onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu, nke ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ maọbụ aja ọzọ,
9 without bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the Lord must be expelled from their 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 I will disown any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who eats any blood and I will expel them from their 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 Life is in the body's blood. I have given it to you so that by putting it on the altar your lives can be made right, for it is the lifeblood that makes people's lives right.
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 That's why I'm warning the Israelites: None of you is allowed to eat blood, and no foreigner living among you is allowed to eat blood.
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 Any Israelite or foreigner living among them who hunts and kills a wild animal or a bird which are allowed be eaten must drain the blood from its body and cover it 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 life is in the body's blood. That's why I have warned the Israelites: You are not allowed to eat the blood of anything living, for life is in the body's blood. Anyone who eats it must be expelled.
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 Anyone, Israelite or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or killed by wild animals must wash their clothes and wash with water, and they will be unclean until the evening. Then they 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 they don't wash their clothes and wash themselves with water, then they bear responsibility for their guilt.”
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ saghị uwe ya na ahụ ya, ikpe ọmụma dị ya nʼisi.’”
