Leviticus 22
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, tell them to keep away from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they set apart to me. They must not profane my holy name. 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 to them, 'If any of your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel have set apart to Yahweh, while he is unclean, that person must 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 None of the descendants of Aaron who has an infectious skin disease, or an infection flowing from his body, may eat any of the sacrifices made to Yahweh until he is clean. Whoever touches anything unclean through contact with the dead, or by contact with a man who has a flow of semen,
“‘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 whoever touches any creeping animal that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever kind of uncleanness it may be—
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 then the priest who touches anything unclean will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy things, unless he has bathed his body 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 has set, he will then be clean. After sunset he may eat from the holy things, because they are his food.
Mgbe anyanwụ dara ka ọ ga-adị ọcha, nweekwa ike iri ihe dị nsọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ nri ya.
8 He must not eat anything found dead or killed by wild animals, by which he would defile himself. 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 The priests must follow my instructions, or they will be guilty of sin and could die for profaning me. I am Yahweh who makes them holy.
“‘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 No one outside the priest's family, including guests of a priest or his hired servants, may eat anything that is holy.
“‘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 if a priest buys any slave with his own money, that slave may eat from the things set apart to Yahweh. The priest's family members and slaves born in his house, they also may eat with him from those things.
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 If a priest's daughter married someone who is not a priest, she may not eat any of the holy contribution offerings.
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 if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and if she has no child, and if she returns to live in her father's house as in her youth, she may eat from her father's food. But no one who is not in the priestly family may eat from the priest's food.
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 If a man eats a holy food without knowing it, then he must repay the priest for it; he must add one-fifth to it and give it back to the priest.
“‘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 The people of Israel must not profane the holy things that they have raised high and presented to Yahweh,
Ndị nchụaja ekwesighị imerụ onyinye nsọ ụmụ Izrel na-eche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị,
16 and cause themselves to carry the sin that would make them guilty of eating the holy food, for I am Yahweh who makes them holy.'”
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 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Any Israelite, or an alien living in Israel, when they present a sacrifice—whether it is to fulfill a vow, or whether it is a freewill offering, or they present to Yahweh a burnt offering,
“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 if it is to be accepted, they must offer a male animal without blemish from the cattle, sheep, or goats.
ọ ga-eweta otu oke nke na-enweghị nkwarụ nke si nʼigwe ehi, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ ewu, ka a nabata ya nʼaha.
20 But you must not offer whatever has a blemish. I will not accept it on your behalf.
Ewebatala ihe ọbụla nke nwere nkwarụ, nʼihi na agaghị m anabata ya nʼaha gị.
21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of fellowship offerings from the herd or the flock to Yahweh to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, it must be unblemished to be accepted. There must be no defect in the animal.
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 You must not offer animals that are blind, disabled, or maimed, or that have warts, sores, or scabs. You must not offer these to Yahweh as a sacrifice by fire on the altar.
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 You may present as a freewill offering an ox or a lamb that is deformed or small, but an offering like that will not be accepted for a vow.
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 Do not offer any animal to Yahweh that has bruised, crushed, torn, or cut testicles. Do not do this within your land.
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 You must not present the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner. Those animals are deformed and have defects in them, they will 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 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
27 “When a calf or a sheep or a goat is born, it must remain seven days with its mother. Then from the eighth day on, it may be accepted as a sacrifice for an offering made by fire to 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 Do not kill a cow or ewe along with its young, both on the same day.
Egbula nne anụ na nwa ya nʼotu ụbọchị, maọbụ ehi maọbụ atụrụ.
29 When you sacrifice a thank offering to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it in an acceptable way.
“Mgbe unu na-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja ekele, chụọnụ ya nʼụzọ ahụ a ga-anabata ya.
30 It must be eaten on the same day that it is sacrificed. You must leave none of it until the next morning. I am Yahweh.
Riekwanụ anụ aja ahụ nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, ka ọ hapụ ịfọdụ ruo echi ya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
31 So you must keep my commandments and carry them out. I am Yahweh.
“Unu ga-edebe iwu m ndị a niile, mee ha nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
32 You must not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the people of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
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 out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Yahweh.”
Ọ bụ m kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt ka m bụrụ Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
