< Leviticus 1 >

1 And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼụlọ nzute ahụ kpọ Mosis oku, gwa ya sị,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel sị, ‘Mgbe onye ọbụla nʼime unu wetaara Onyenwe anyị onyinye, ka onyinye ọ ga-eweta bụrụ anụ ụlọ si nʼetiti igwe ehi maọbụ igwe ewu na atụrụ.
3 If his offering shall be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ onyinye aja nsure ọkụ e wetara site nʼigwe ehi, ọ bụ oke ehi nke na-enweghị ntụpọ ka ọ ga-eweta. Nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ka ọ ga-eweta ya, ka ọ bụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị ga-anabata.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Onye ahụ wetara ya ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼisi anụ aja nsure ọkụ ahụ, a ga-anabata ya maka iji kpuchie mmehie ya.
5 And he shall kill the bull before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Nwoke ahụ ga-egbu nwa oke ehi ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, bụ ndị nchụaja ga-ewere ọbara ya fesa ya nʼakụkụ niile nke ebe ịchụ aja, nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọ nzute ahụ.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces.
Ị ga-agba ehi aja nsure ọkụ ahụ akpụkpọ, bọkasịa ya ntakịrị ntakịrị.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
Ụmụ Erọn, ndị nchụaja ga-etinye ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ, doo nkụ nʼusoro nʼelu ya.
8 And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Erọn ndị nchụaja ga-atụkwasị akụkụ ehi ahụ niile, na isi ya, na abụba ya, nʼelu nkụ ahụ na-enwu ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.
Ma a ga-asacha ihe ndị dị nʼime afọ ya, na ụkwụ ya mmiri. Onye nchụaja ga-akpọ ha niile ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Ọ bụ onyinye aja nsure ọkụ, onyinye e nyere site nʼọkụ nke dị ezi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.
10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na onyinye aja nsure ọkụ ahụ si nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ, ọ ga-abụrịrị mkpi maọbụ ebule na-enweghị nkwarụ.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood around upon the altar.
Onye wetara ya ga-egbu ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja chere ihu nʼugwu. Ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, bụ ndị nchụaja, ga-efesa ọbara ya nʼakụkụ niile nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, onye ahụ wetara ya, ga-abọ ya. Onye nchụaja ga-ewere akụkụ ya niile, na isi ya, na abụba ya tụkwasị ha nʼelu nkụ ahụ na-enwu ọkụ dị nʼebe ịchụ aja.
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.
Ma ihe ndị dị nʼime afọ ya, na ụkwụ ya, ka onye ahụ ga-asa mmiri, tupu onye nchụaja eweta ha niile kpọọ ha ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja. Ọ bụ onyinye aja nsure ọkụ, onyinye e nyere site nʼọkụ, nke isisi ya dị ezi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD shall be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na onyinye ọ na-enye Onyenwe anyị dịka aja nsure ọkụ bụ site nʼụmụ anụ ufe, ọ ghaghị ịbụ nduru, maọbụ nwa kpalakwukwu.
15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
Onye nchụaja ga-ewebata anụ ufe ahụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, tụbipụ isi ya, wụsa ọbara ya nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja.
16 And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
Ọ ga-ewepụ akpa nri ya, na ihe dị ya nʼime, tụnye ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ; ebe a na-ekposa ntụ.
17 And he shall cleave it with its wings, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.
Ọ ga-ejide nku ya abụọ nyawaa ha, ma ọ gaghị anyakapụcha ha. Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-akpọ ya ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja. Ọ bụ aja nsure ọkụ, onyinye e nyere site nʼọkụ, nke isisi ya dị Onyenwe anyị ezi ụtọ.
