Leviticus 22
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, That they hold sacredly aloof from the holy things of the sons of Israel, so as not to profane my holy name, —in the things which they are hallowing unto me—I, am Yahweh.
“Gwa Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ha jiri nsọpụrụ nabata onyinye dị nsọ nke ụmụ Izrel na-edo nsọ nye m, ka ha ghara imerụ aha nsọ m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
3 Say unto them—Unto your generations, as touching any man who cometh near from among any of your seed, unto the hallowed things which the sons of Israel may hallow unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is upon him, then shall that person be cut off from before me—I, am Yahweh.
“Gwa ha sị, ‘Nʼọgbọ unu niile na-abịa, ọ bụrụ na enwee onye ọbụla nʼagbụrụ unu nke bịara nso nʼihe ndị ahụ dị nsọ ụmụ Izrel na-edo nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, mgbe onye ahụ nọ ọnọdụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ, a ga-esi nʼihu m wezuga onye ahụ. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
4 No man soever of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or hath a flux, shall eat of the holy things, until he be clean, —And as for him who toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
“‘Onye ọbụla bụ nwa nwa Erọn nke ọrịa ekpenta na-arịa, maọbụ nke ihe si nʼahụ ya na-asọpụta agaghị eri aja dị nsọ tutu ruo mgbe e mere ka ọ dịrị ọcha. Ọ ga-abụkwa onye rụrụ arụ ma ọ bụrụ na o metụ ozu aka, maọbụ onye mkpụrụ nwa na-esite nʼahụ awụsị,
5 or a man who toucheth any creeping thing, which is unclean to him, —or [toucheth] any human being who hath uncleanness, to the extent of any thing that maketh him unclean,
maọbụ na o metụrụ anụ na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala aka, nke na-emerụ ya, maọbụ na ọ metụrụ mmadụ aka nke mere ka ọ bụrụ onye rụrụ arụ nʼagbanyeghị ihe ọ bụ na-emerụ ya.
6 any person who toucheth any such, shall then be unclean until the evening, —and shall not eat of the hallowed things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
Onye ahụ metụrụ ihe ndị a aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi. Ọ gaghị eri ihe nsọ ọbụla tutu ruo mgbe ọ sachara ahụ.
7 When the sun tooth in, then is he clean, —and thereafter, he may eat of the hallowed things, for, his food, it is.
Mgbe anyanwụ dara ka ọ ga-adị ọcha, nweekwa ike iri ihe dị nsọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ nri ya.
8 That which dieth of itself or is torn in pieces, shall he not eat to make himself unclean thereby, —I, am Yahweh.
Ọ gaghị eri anụ nwụrụ anwụ, maọbụ nke anụ ọzọ dọgburu, nʼihi na ihe ndị a ga-emerụ ya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
9 Therefore shall they keep my charge, and shall not bear, for it, sin, and die therein, when they profane it, —I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.
“‘Ndị nchụaja kwesiri idebe ụkpụrụ m, ka ha ghara ịbụ ndị ikpe mara si otu a nwụọ nʼihi na ha lelịrị ha anya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo ha nsọ.
10 And, no stranger, shall eat what is hallowed, —neither, one who dwelleth with a priest nor a hireling shall eat what is hallowed.
“‘O nweghị onye ọbụla na-esiteghị nʼezinaụlọ ndị nchụaja ga-eri aja nsọ ahụ. Onye bụ ọbịa na onye e goro ọrụ nọ nʼụlọ onye nchụaja agaghị eri ya.
11 But when, a priest, buyeth any person, as the purchase of his silver, he may eat thereof, —and, the children of his household, they, may eat of his food.
Otu ọ dị, ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja weere ego nke aka ya gbata ohu, maọbụ na a mụrụ ohu ahụ nʼụlọ ya, ohu ahụ nwere ike iri aja nsọ ahụ.
12 And, when, a priest’s daughter, belongeth to a husband, who is a stranger, she, of the heave-offering of the hallowed things, may not eat.
Ọ bụrụ na nwa nwanyị onye nchụaja alụọ onye na-abụghị onye nchụaja, ọ gaghị eri ihe ọbụla site nʼime aja nsọ a.
13 But, when a priest’s daughter, cometh to be a widow or divorced and hath no seed, and so she returneth unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of the food of her father, she may eat, —but no stranger, shall eat thereof.
Ma nwa nwanyị onye nchụaja nke di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ na ya na di ya ebikwaghị, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ mụtaghị nwa ọbụla, ọ lọghachi bịa biri nʼụlọ nna ya dịka o mere mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọ, o nwere ike iri nri dị nʼụlọ nna ya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-ekwesighị iri ya, nke ga-eri ya.
14 And, when, any man, eateth what is hallowed, by mistake, then shall he add the fifth part of it thereunto, and give unto the priest the hallowed thing:
“‘Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla erie onyinye nsọ ahụ na-amaghị ama, ọ ga-eweghachiri onye nchụaja ihe niile o riri tụkwasịkwa ya otu ụzọ nʼụzọ ise ọzọ.
15 So shall they not profane the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, —which they heave up unto Yahweh;
Ndị nchụaja ekwesighị imerụ onyinye nsọ ụmụ Izrel na-eche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị,
16 nor cause them to bear guilty iniquity, when they eat their hallowed things, —For, I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.
site nʼikwenye ka ndị mmadụ efu rie onyinye nsọ ahụ, si otu a wetara ndị riri ya ikpe ọmụma nke ya na nkwụghachi so. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo ha nsọ.’”
17 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them—What man, soever, of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, may bring near his oblation, as regardeth any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings which they may bring near unto Yahweh, as an ascending-sacrifice,
“Gwa Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla, onye Izrel maọbụ onye ọbịa nʼIzrel, eweta aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị imezu nkwa o kwere, maọbụ dịka onyinye afọ ofufu,
19 that ye may be accepted, [it must be] a male without defect, of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats:
ọ ga-eweta otu oke nke na-enweghị nkwarụ nke si nʼigwe ehi, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ ewu, ka a nabata ya nʼaha.
20 whatsoever hath in it a blemish, shall ye not bring near, —for it shall not be accepted for you.
Ewebatala ihe ọbụla nke nwere nkwarụ, nʼihi na agaghị m anabata ya nʼaha gị.
21 And, whosoever would bring near a peace-offering unto Yahweh, to consecrate a vow or as a freewill-offering with a bullock or a sheep, without defect, shall it be, to be accepted, no, blemish, shall be therein.
Mgbe onye ọbụla wetara ehi maọbụ atụrụ maọbụ ewu site nʼigwe anụ, dịka onyinye aja udo ọ na-enye Onyenwe anyị maka imezu nkwa, maọbụ onyinye afọ ofufu, ọ ga-abụ nke na-enweghị ọrụsị maọbụ ntụpọ ọbụla tupu a nabata ya.
22 Blind, or broken, or rent, or having a running sore, or scurvy, or scab, ye shall not bring these near unto Yahweh, —and no, altar-flame, shall ye present therefrom upon the altar, unto Yahweh.
Anụmanụ ọbụla kpuru ìsì, maọbụ nke merụrụ ahụ, maọbụ nke ụkwụ maọbụ aka gbajiri, maọbụ nke akpụkpa dị nʼahụ ya, maọbụ ihe nwere ure, maọbụ nke ọnya dị nʼahụ, agaghị abụ ihe onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị. Unu atụkwasịkwala ha nʼebe ịchụ aja dịka onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị.
23 Whether an ox or a lamb long or short limb, as a free-will offering, thou mayest offer it, but, for a vow, it shall not be accepted.
Unu nwere ike jiri ehi maọbụ atụrụ nke akụkụ ahụ ya tara ata, maọbụ nke otu akụkụ ya buru ibu karịa ibe ya chụọ aja onyinye si nʼobi, ma a gaghị e ji ya chụọ aja imezu nkwa.
24 But that which is bruised in the stones or broken therein, or torn or cut, shall ye neither bring ear unto Yahweh, nor on your own land, shall ye offer.
Unu agaghị enye anụmanụ ọbụla nke mkpụrụ amụ ya chipịara echipịa, maọbụ nke pịara apịa, maọbụ nke a dọwapụrụ adọwapụ maọbụ nke a chakapụrụ achakapụ, dịka onyinye nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Unu enyekwala ụdị onyinye a nʼala unu.
25 Even at the hand of the son of a stranger, shall ye not bring near the food of your God of any of these, —for, their damage is in them, a blemish, is in them, they shall not be accepted for you.
Unu esitekwala nʼaka onye ọbịa nata ụdị onyinye a, ma webata ya dịka nri a na-enye Chineke unu. A gaghị anabata ha nʼọnọdụ unu, nʼihi na ha nwere nkwarụ, nwekwa ntụpọ.’”
26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying: —
Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
27 When, a beeve or a sheep or a goat, is brought forth, then shall it be seven days under its dam, —and, from the eighth day and onwards, it shall be accepted as an oblation of an altar-flame unto Yahweh,
“Mgbe a mụrụ nwa ehi, maọbụ nwa atụrụ, maọbụ ewu ọhụrụ, a ga-ahapụ ya na nne ya ụbọchị asaa. Site nʼụbọchị nke asatọ gaa nʼihu a ga-anabata ya dịka onyinye ihe oriri i ji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
28 Whether cow or ewe—it and its young, shall ye not slaughter on one day.
Egbula nne anụ na nwa ya nʼotu ụbọchị, maọbụ ehi maọbụ atụrụ.
29 And when ye would offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Yahweh, for your acceptance, shall ye offer it.
“Mgbe unu na-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja ekele, chụọnụ ya nʼụzọ ahụ a ga-anabata ya.
30 On the same day, shall it be eaten, ye shall not leave thereof until morning, —I, am Yahweh.
Riekwanụ anụ aja ahụ nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, ka ọ hapụ ịfọdụ ruo echi ya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
31 So then ye shall observe my commandments, and do them, —I, am Yahweh.
“Unu ga-edebe iwu m ndị a niile, mee ha nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
32 So shall ye not profane my holy name, So shall I be hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel, —I, am Yahweh, who am hallowing you;
Unu emekwala ka aha m ghara ịdị nsọ. A ga-edo aha m nsọ nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel, nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo unu nsọ.
33 Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —I, am Yahweh.
Ọ bụ m kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt ka m bụrụ Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
