< Leviticus 19 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God [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 Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God.
“‘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 Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the LORD your God.
“‘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 if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
“‘Mgbe unu ga-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja udo, soronụ ụkpụrụ m nyere unu chụọ ya, ka m nabata ya.
6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught shall remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the 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 shall be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; it shall not be accepted.
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 Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among 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 when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy 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 thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
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 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
“‘Unu ezula ohi. “‘Unu aghala ụgha. “‘Unu aghọgbula ibe unu.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
“‘Unu aṅụla iyi ụgha, si otu a weta nkọcha nye aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob [him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the 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 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
“‘Akọchala onye ntị chiri, edochikwarala onye ìsì ihe nʼụzọ. Tụọ egwu Chineke. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
“‘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 Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a tale-bearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I [am] the LORD.
“‘Unu ejegharịla na-agbasa okwu nkwujọ nʼetiti ndị mmadụ. “‘Emela ihe ọbụla ga-ebutere onye agbataobi gị ọnwụ. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon 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 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; I [am] the LORD.
“‘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 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle engender with a diverse kind: Thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.
“‘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 whoever lieth carnally with a woman that [is] a bond-maid betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged: they shall not be put to death, because she was 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 shall bring his trespass-offering to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass-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 shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food; then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of.
“‘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 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy to praise the LORD [with].
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 shall ye eat of its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I [am] the LORD your God.
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 Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
“‘Unu erila anụ ọbụla ọbara dị nʼime ya. “‘Unu agbala afa maọbụ jụta mmụọ ase.
27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.
“‘Unu akala ihe ọbụla nʼahụ unu, nʼihi onye nwụrụ anwụ maọbụ jiri mma ọkụ dee ihe nʼahụ unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
29 Do not prostitute thy daughter to cause her to be a harlot: lest the land should fall to lewdness, and the land become full of wickedness.

30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.

32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.

33 And if a stranger shall sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not oppress him.
“‘Mgbe onye ọbịa soro unu biri nʼala unu, unu emejọla ya.
34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be to you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.
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 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in weight, in measure of length or of capacity.
“‘Unu ejila ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ mgbe unu na-atụ ihe dị ogologo, maọbụ ihe dị arọ, maọbụ ihe dị ukwuu,
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.
“‘Debenụ ụkpụrụ m niile, na iwu m niile, gbasoonụ ha. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.’”
