< Leviticus 17 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel; and you have said to them: This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded, saying,
Lea kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko eni ʻae meʻa ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē,
3 Any man of the house of Israel who slaughters ox, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who slaughters [it] at the outside of the camp,
Ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻae pulu pē ko e lami, pe ko e kosi, ʻi he ʻapitanga, pe tāmateʻi ia ʻituʻa he ʻapitanga,
4 and has not brought it in to the opening of the Tent of Meeting to bring an offering near to YHWH before the Dwelling Place of YHWH, blood is reckoned to that man—he has shed blood—and that man has been cut off from the midst of his people;
Pea ʻikai ʻomi ia ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, ke ʻatu ha feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; ʻe tuku ʻae toto ki he tangata ko ia: kuo lingi ʻe ia ʻae toto; pea ʻe motuhi ʻae tangata ko ia mei hono kakai:
5 so that the sons of Israel bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, indeed, they have brought them to YHWH, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to YHWH with them.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu ʻi he ngoue ʻataʻatā, ʻio, kenau ʻomi ia kia Sihova, ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, ki he taulaʻeiki, pea ke ʻatu ia ko e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei kia Sihova.
6 And the priest has sprinkled the blood on the altar of YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and has made incense with the fat for refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
Pea ʻe luluku ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae toto ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea tutu ʻae ngako ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.
7 and they do not sacrifice their sacrifices anymore to the goat [idols] after which they are going whoring; this is a continuous statute to them, throughout their generations.
Pea ʻe ʻikai tenau toe ʻatu ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ki he ngaahi faʻahikehe, ʻaia naʻa nau holi kovi ki ai. Ko e fekau fai maʻu eni kiate kinautolu ʻo taʻengata ʻi honau ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
8 And you say to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners who sojourns in your midst, who causes burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,
Pea te ke pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko e tangata ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he muli ʻoku nofo ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ne ʻatu ha feilaulau tutu pe ha feilaulau,
9 and does not bring it in to the opening of the Tent of Meeting to make it to YHWH—that man has been cut off from his people.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻomi ia ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, ke ʻatu ia kia Sihova; ko e tangata ko ia ʻe motuhi mei hono kakai.
10 And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners who is sojourning in your midst, who eats any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of his people;
Pea ko e tangata kotoa pē ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku kai ʻe ia ha toto: teu sio fakafulofula ki he tangata ko ia ʻoku kai toto, pea motuhi ia mei hono kakai.
11 for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood which makes atonement for the soul.
He ko e moʻui ʻae kakano ko e toto pea kuo u tuku ia kiate kimoutolu ki homou feilaulauʻanga ke fai ʻae fakalelei maʻa homou laumālie; he ko e toto ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻae laumālie.
12 Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel: No person among you eats blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst does not eat blood;
Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa kai toto ʻe ha tokotaha ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoua naʻa kai toto ʻe ha muli ʻe tokotaha ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.
13 and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners who is sojourning in your midst, who hunts game, beast or bird, which is eaten—has even poured out its blood and covered it with dust;
Pea ʻilonga ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku tuli pe maʻu ha manu ha manu kapakau ʻoku ngofua ke kai: ko e moʻoni ʻe lingi ʻe ia hono toto, ʻo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae efu.
14 for [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel: You do not eat [the] blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone eating it is cut off.
He ko e moʻui ia ʻae kakano kotoa pē; ko hono toto ko ʻene moʻui ia; ko ia ne u pehē ai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa mou kai ʻae toto ʻo ha meʻa moʻui ʻe taha: he ko e toto ko e moʻui ia ʻae kakano kotoa pē; ko ia ʻoku ne kai ia ʻe motuhi ia.
15 And any person who eats a carcass or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners, has washed his garments and bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening—then he has been clean;
Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kai ʻaia naʻe mate mahaki, pē ko ia kuo haehae ʻe he manu, pe ko ha tokotaha ia ʻo homou fonua pe ko ha muli, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu mo kaukau ia ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi: pea ʻe toki maʻa ia.
16 and if he does not wash, and does not bathe his flesh—then he has borne his iniquity.”
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai fō ia, pe kaukau hono sino; pea ʻe ʻiate ia pe ʻene hia.
