Put the sashes/waistbands around their waists and the caps on their heads. That is the ritual by which you are to (dedicate them/set them apart) to be priests. Aaron and his male descendants must serve me [by being] priests forever.

Then, while they do that, kill the young bull [by slitting its throat], and catch/drain the blood in a bowl.

Take some of that blood with your finger and smear it on the projections of the altar. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the base of the altar.

But the meat of the young bull and its hide and intestines must be burned outside the camp. That will be an offering to forgive the guilt of your sins.

and burn those pieces [completely] on the altar with the rest of the ram. That will be an offering to me, Yahweh, and the smell will please me.
19 “Were ebule nke ọzọ, ka Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ga-ebikwasị aka ha nʼelu isi ya.
“Take the other ram [that was selected for these rituals], and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the ram’s head.

Then kill the ram by slitting its throat, and drain the blood [into a bowl].

Wipe up some of the blood that is on the altar, mix it with some of the oil for anointing, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. By doing that, you will dedicate them and their clothes [to me].
22 “Were abụba ebule ahụ, na akụkụ ọdụdụ ya nwere abụba, na abụba nke kpuchiri ime ya, mba-umeju nke dị nʼumeju ya, akụrụ ya abụọ na abụba gbara ha gburugburu, na apata aka nri ya (nʼihi na ebule ahụ bụ ebule ido nsọ),
“Also, cut off the ram’s fat and its fat tail and the fat that covers the inner organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh.

Take also one of each of the kinds of bread [that was baked]—one made with no oil, one with oil, and one thin wafer.
24 tinye ihe ndị a niile nʼaka Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, mee ka ha fufee ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka aja mfufe.
Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. [Then tell them to] lift them up [high] to dedicate them to me.

Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar, on top of the other things [that were placed there]. That [also] will be an offering to me, and its smell will please me.
26 Mgbe i wepụtara obi ebule ahụ e ji doo Erọn nsọ, fufee ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka aja mfufe. Ọ ga-abụkwa oke nke gị.
Then take the meat of the ribs of the second ram that was killed, and lift it up [high] as an offering to me. But then this part of the animal will be for you [to eat].
27 “Doo akụkụ ebule ido nsọ ahụ nsọ, ndị nke bụ oke Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ya bụ, obi ya e fufere efufe na apata ya e chere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
Then take the meat of the ribs, the other thigh of the first ram that was sacrificed to (dedicate/set apart) the priests, and the ram whose other parts were lifted high to show that they were an offering to me; and set the meat of the ribs and thigh apart for Aaron and his sons, for them to eat.
28 Nke a ga-abụ oke Erọn na ụmụ ụmụ ya ga-eketa dịka ụkpụrụ mgbe ebighị ebi nʼaka ndị Izrel. Mgbe niile ọbụla ha na-achụ aja udo maọbụ aja ekele, ka nke a bụrụ onyinye ụmụ Izrel na-enye Onyenwe anyị site nʼaja ha.
In the future, whenever the Israeli people present to me, Yahweh, offerings to maintain fellowship with me, the ribs and the thigh [of animals that they sacrifice] will be for Aaron and his male descendants [to eat].
29 “Uwe nsọ Erọn ndị a niile ka a ga-edebe nʼihi mmemme ido nsọ. A ga-eji ha na-edo ụmụ ya nsọ bụ ndị ga-anọchi anya ya site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
“After Aaron [dies], the special clothes that he wore will belong to his sons. They are to wear those clothes when they are (set apart/dedicated) [to become priests].
30 Nwa ya nwoke ọbụla nke nọchiri anya ya dịka onye nchụaja, nke bịara nʼụlọ nzute m ije ozi nʼEbe Nsọ ga-eyi uwe ndị a ụbọchị asaa.
Aaron’s son who becomes The Supreme Priest and enters the Sacred Tent and performs rituals in the Holy Place must [stay in the Sacred Tent], wearing these special clothes, for seven days.

“Take the meat of the other ram that was sacrificed to (set apart/dedicate) Aaron and his sons, and boil it in the courtyard.
32 Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ga-eri anụ ebule ahụ, na achịcha ndị ahụ dị nʼime nkata nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.
After it is cooked, Aaron and his sons must eat it, along with the bread that is left in the basket, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

They must eat the meat of the ram that was sacrificed to forgive them for [their sins] when they were dedicated to do this work. They are the only ones who are permitted to eat this meat. [Those who are not priests are not allowed to eat it], because it is dedicated to me.
34 Ọ bụrụ na ụfọdụ nʼime anụ na achịcha ido nsọ ndị ahụ afọdụ ruo ụtụtụ, a ga-akpọ ha ọkụ. A gaghị eri ya ọzọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe dị nsọ.
If any of this meat or some of the bread is not eaten that night, no one is permitted to eat any of it the next day. It must be completely burned, because it is sacred/dedicated to me.
35 “Ọ bụ otu a ka a ga-esi doo Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nsọ, dịka ihe niile m nyere gị nʼiwu si dị. Ọ ga-ewe ụbọchị asaa iji doo ha nsọ.
“Those are the rituals that you(sg) must perform during those seven days when you dedicate Aaron and his sons for this work. You must do everything that I have commanded you.

Each of those seven days you must also sacrifice a young bull as an offering to me, in order that I may forgive sins. Also, you must make another offering (to make the altar pure in my sight/in order that I will consider the altar to be pure). You must also anoint the altar with olive oil, to (set it apart/dedicate it).
37 Ụbọchị asaa ka ị ga-edo ebe ịchụ aja nsọ site nʼịchụ aja mkpuchi mmehie. Mgbe ahụ ebe ịchụ aja ga-abụ ebe dịkarịsịrị nsọ. Ihe ọbụla metụrụ ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-adị nsọ.
Perform these rituals every day for seven days, to (set apart/dedicate) the altar and make it pure. If you do not do that, anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
38 “Ma nke a bụ ihe ị ga-achụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja kwa ụbọchị, ị ga-eji ụmụ atụrụ abụọ gbara otu afọ chụọ aja.
“You must also sacrifice lambs and burn them on the altar. Each of those [seven] days you must sacrifice two lambs.
39 Chụọ otu nʼoge ụtụtụ; chụọkwa nke ọzọ nʼoge uhuruchi.
One lamb must be sacrificed in the morning, and one must be sacrificed in the evening.
40 Ị ga-ewere nwa atụrụ, tinyere lita ụtụ ọka abụọ a kwọziri akwọzi nke a gwọkọtara nʼotu lita mmanụ oliv asụrụ asụ, chụọ aja. Wetakwa otu lita mmanya dịka aja ihe ọṅụṅụ.
With the first lamb, also offer (2 pounds/1 kilogram) of finely-ground wheat flour mixed with one quart/liter of the best kind of olive oil, and one quart/liter of wine as an offering.
41 Jirikwa nwa atụrụ nke ọzọ, ya na otu ụdị aja mkpụrụ ọka na aja ihe ọṅụṅụ ya dịka i mere nʼụtụtụ. Aja isisi ya dị ezi mma, nke e sitere nʼọkụ a na-achụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
In the evening, when you sacrifice the other lamb, offer the same amounts of flour, olive oil, and wine as you did in the morning. This will be an offering to me, Yahweh, that will be burned, and its smell will please me.
42 “A ga na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ a oge niile nʼọgbọ niile, nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute m ka a ga-achụ ya, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-ezute gị gwa gị okwu.
You [and your descendants] must continue making these offerings to me, Yahweh, throughout all future generations. You must offer them at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. That is where I will meet with you and speak to you.

That is where I will meet with the Israeli people, and the brilliant light of my presence will cause that place to be holy/sacred.

I will dedicate the Sacred Tent and the altar. I will also dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests.
45 Mgbe ahụ, aga m ebi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel, bụrụkwa Chineke ha.
I will live among the Israeli people, and I will be their God.
46 Ha ga-amata na m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha. Onye sitere nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta ha, ka m si otu a biri nʼetiti ha. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha.
They will know that I, Yahweh their God, am the one who brought them out of Egypt in order that I might live among them.”
