< Leviticus 19 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
2 “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: You are holy, because I, your God YHWH, [am] holy.
“Gwa ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha: ‘Dịnụ nsọ, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, dị nsọ.
3 You each fear his mother and his father, and you keep My Sabbaths; I [am] your God YHWH.
“‘Onye ọbụla nʼime unu aghaghị ịsọpụrụ nne na nna ya, debekwa iwu m nyere maka ụbọchị izuike, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
4 You do not turn to the idols, and you do not make a molten god for yourselves; I [am] your God YHWH.
“‘Unu akpọla isiala nye arụsị, unu emekwarala onwe unu chi ndị e ji ọla kpụọ. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
5 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you sacrifice it at your pleasure;
“‘Mgbe unu ga-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja udo, soronụ ụkpụrụ m nyere unu chụọ ya, ka m nabata ya.
6 it is eaten in the day of your sacrificing [it], and on the next day, and that which is left to the third day is burned with fire,
Unu ga-eri ya nʼụbọchị ahụ unu chụrụ ya, maọbụ nʼụbọchị nke na-eso ụbọchị ahụ. Nke ọbụla fọdụrụ ruo ụbọchị nke atọ ka unu ga-esure ọkụ.
7 and if it is really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,
Ọ bụrụ na unu erie ya nʼụbọchị nke atọ ihe arụ ka ọ bụ. A gaghị anabata aja ọbụla unu ga-eri nʼụbọchị nke atọ.
8 and he who is eating it bears his iniquity, for he has defiled the holy thing of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from his people.
Ikpe ga-ama onye ga-eri ya nʼụbọchị nke atọ nʼihi na o meela ka ihe nsọ Onyenwe anyị bụrụ ihe arụ. A ga-ekewapụ onye ahụ site nʼetiti ndị ya.
9 And in your reaping the harvest of your land you do not completely reap the corner of your field, and you do not gather the gleaning of your harvest,
“‘Mgbe unu na-ewe ihe ubi, unu ewechala ihe niile dị nʼakụkụ ubi niile, maọbụ chịkọtachaa irighiri ihe ubi niile fọdụrụ nʼala.
10 and you do not glean your vineyard, even the omitted part of your vineyard you do not gather, you leave them for the poor and for the sojourner; I [am] your God YHWH.
A ghọrọchakwala mkpụrụ vaịnị niile mịrị nʼelu vaịnị gị, maọbụ chịkọrọ mkpụrụ ndị dara nʼala. Hapụrụ ha ụmụ ogbenye na ndị ọbịa, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
11 You do not steal, nor feign, nor lie—each against his fellow.
“‘Unu ezula ohi. “‘Unu aghala ụgha. “‘Unu aghọgbula ibe unu.
12 And you do not swear by My Name for falsehood, or you have defiled the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Unu aṅụla iyi ụgha, si otu a weta nkọcha nye aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
13 You do not oppress your neighbor, nor take plunder; the wages of the hired worker do not remain with you until morning.
“‘Unu ejila ike pụnara onye agbataobi unu ihe ya, maọbụ zuru ihe o nwere nʼohi. “‘Kwụọnụ onye ọbụla unu goro ọrụ ụgwọ ọrụ ya ọsịịsọ. Unu echela ka chi bọọ tupu unu akwụọ ya ụgwọ ya.
14 You do not revile the deaf; and you do not put a stumbling block before the blind; and you have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Akọchala onye ntị chiri, edochikwarala onye ìsì ihe nʼụzọ. Tụọ egwu Chineke. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
15 You do not do perversity in judgment; you do not lift up the face of the poor, nor honor the face of the great; you judge your fellow in righteousness.
“‘Unu ekpela ikpe na-ezighị ezi, unu elela mmadụ anya nʼihu mgbe unu na-ekpe ikpe, ma onye unu na-ekpe ikpe ọ bụ ọgaranya maọbụ ogbenye. Kama kpeenụ ikpe kwụ ọtọ.
16 You do not go slandering among your people; you do not stand against the blood of your neighbor; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Unu ejegharịla na-agbasa okwu nkwujọ nʼetiti ndị mmadụ. “‘Emela ihe ọbụla ga-ebutere onye agbataobi gị ọnwụ. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
17 You do not hate your brother in your heart; you certainly reprove your fellow, and do not permit sin on him.
“‘Akpọla nwanne gị asị nʼime obi gị. Tụọ onye agbataobi gị mmehie ya nʼihu ya, ka ị ghara iketa oke nʼikpe ọmụma dịrị ya.
18 You do not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of your people; and you have had love for your neighbor as yourself; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Abọla ọbọ, ebukwala iro nʼobi megide onye ọbụla nʼetiti ndị gị. Kama hụ onye agbataobi gị nʼanya dịka i si hụ onwe gị nʼanya. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị unu.
19 You keep My statutes. You do not cause your livestock to mate [with] two kinds; you do not sow your field with two kinds; and a garment of two kinds, mixed material, does not go up on you.
“‘Unu ga-edebe iwu m niile. “‘Unu ejila otu ụdị anụ ụlọ unu na-agba ụdị anụ ụlọ ọzọ dị iche. “‘Akụla ụdị mkpụrụ abụọ nʼubi. “‘Eyila uwe e ji ụzọ ihe abụọ, dịka ajị anụ na ogho dụọ.
20 And when a man lies with a woman with seed [from] intercourse, and she [is] a maidservant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom has not been given to her, there is an investigation; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla akpọrọ nwaagbọghọ bụ ohu nwanyị nke a na-agbapụtabeghị, maọbụ nke na-enwerebeghị onwe ya, nke nwoke ọzọ chọrọ ịlụ, mee ka ha abụọ dinakọọ, a ga-ekpe ha abụọ ikpe nʼụlọikpe, ma a gaghị egbu ha, nʼihi na nwanyị ahụ abụghị onye nwe onwe ya.
21 And he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,
Ma nwoke ahụ ga-eweta aja ikpe ọmụma nye Onyenwe anyị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute. Ọ ga-abụkwa ebule ka ọ ga-eji chụọ aja ahụ.
22 and the priest has made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before YHWH, for his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him because of his sin which he has sinned.
Onye nchụaja ga-eji ebule aja ikpe ọmụma ahụ chụọrọ nwoke ahụ aja mkpuchi mmehie ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi mmehie o mere. A ga-agbaghakwara ya mmehie ya.
23 And when you come into the land and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then you have reckoned its fruit as uncircumcised, it is uncircumcised to you [for] three years, it is not eaten,
“‘Mgbe unu batara nʼala ahụ kụọ mkpụrụ osisi dị iche iche, unu erila mkpụrụ osisi ahụ mịrị nʼafọ nke mbụ, ọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Ruo nʼafọ nke atọ, ha bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Unu agaghị eri ha.
24 and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy—praises for YHWH.
Nʼafọ nke anọ, mkpụrụ nke osisi ndị ahụ niile ga-amị dị nsọ. Unu ga-eji ya nye Onyenwe anyị onyinye otuto.
25 And in the fifth year you eat its fruit—to add to you its increase; I [am] your God YHWH.
Site nʼafọ nke ise, mkpụrụ ọbụla ga-abụ nke unu. Nʼụzọ dị otu a ihe ha ga-amịpụta ga-adị ukwuu. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
26 You do not eat with the blood. You do not enchant, nor observe clouds.
“‘Unu erila anụ ọbụla ọbara dị nʼime ya. “‘Unu agbala afa maọbụ jụta mmụọ ase.
27 You do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of your beard.
“‘Unu akpụchala agịrị isi dị gburugburu akụkụ isi unu, maọbụ chabie ọnụ ọnụ afụọnụ unu.
28 And you do not put a cutting for the soul in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, you do not put on yourself; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Unu akala ihe ọbụla nʼahụ unu, nʼihi onye nwụrụ anwụ maọbụ jiri mma ọkụ dee ihe nʼahụ unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
29 You do not defile your daughter to cause her to go whoring, that the land does not go whoring, and the land has been full of wickedness.
“‘Emerụla nwa gị nwanyị site nʼịkwagide ya ka ọ bụrụ akwụna, ka ala unu ghara ijupụta nʼịgba akwụna na ihe ọjọọ dị iche iche.
30 You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Debenụ iwu niile m nyere maka ụbọchị izuike m. Sọpụkwaranụ ebe nsọ m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
31 You do not turn to those having familiar spirits, and you do not seek for wizards, to become unclean by them; I [am] your God YHWH.
“‘Unu ejekwurula ndị na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase maọbụ chọgaa ndị dibịa afa, nʼihi na unu ga-emerụ onwe site na ha. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
32 You rise up at the presence of grey hairs, and you have honored the presence of an old man, and have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Bilienụ ọtọ nʼihu okenye, sọpụrụnụ ndị okenye, ma tụọnụ egwu Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
33 And when a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you do not oppress him;
“‘Mgbe onye ọbịa soro unu biri nʼala unu, unu emejọla ya.
34 the sojourner who is sojourning with you is to you as a native among you, and you have had love for him as for yourself, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.
Mesonụ onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu mmeso dịka ọ bụ otu nʼime ndị amụrụ nʼala. Hụnụ ha nʼanya dịka unu si hụ onwe unu, nʼihi na o nwere oge unu bụ ọbịa nʼala Ijipt. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
35 You do not do perversity in the judgment, in the measure, in the weight, and in the liquid measure;
“‘Unu ejila ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ mgbe unu na-atụ ihe dị ogologo, maọbụ ihe dị arọ, maọbụ ihe dị ukwuu,
36 you have righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin; I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Jirinụ ezi ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ogologo, maọbụ ihe dị arọ, maọbụ ihe dị ukwuu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu.
37 and you have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] YHWH.”
“‘Debenụ ụkpụrụ m niile, na iwu m niile, gbasoonụ ha. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.’”
