Levitikọs 12
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Nye ụmụ Izrel iwu ndị a sị ha, ‘Mgbe nwanyị tụụrụ ime mesịa mụọ nwa nwoke, ọ ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha ụbọchị asaa, dịka o si adị mgbe ọ nọ nʼadịghị ọcha nke nsọ ya nʼoge a kara aka.
“Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.
3 Nʼụbọchị nke asatọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ya, a ga-ebi nwa nwoke ahụ ugwu.
And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.
4 Nʼime iri abalị atọ na atọ site nʼụbọchị nwanyị ahụ mụsịrị nwa ahụ, ọ ga-anọkwa na-adịghị ọcha nke ọbara gbara ya. Ọ gaghị emetụ ihe dị nsọ aka, maọbụ banye nʼime ebe nsọ, ruo mgbe ụbọchị ime ya ka ọ dị ọcha gasịrị.
The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.
5 Mgbe nwanyị dị ime mụrụ nwa nwanyị, ọ ga-abụ onye nʼadịghị ọcha iri ụbọchị na anọ, dịka o si adị mgbe ọ nọ na nsọ ya. Ọ ga-echere tutu iri ụbọchị isii agwụsịa, ime ya ka ọ dị ọcha.
If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.
6 “‘Mgbe ụbọchị ịdị ọcha ya zuru, ma ọ mụrụ nwa nwoke maọbụ nwa nwanyị, ọ ga-ewetara onye nchụaja nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute otu nwa atụrụ gbara otu afọ maka onyinye aja nsure ọkụ, na otu nwa kpalakwukwu maọbụ otu nduru maka onyinye aja mmehie.
When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.
7 Onye nchụaja ga-anarakwa ha chee ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, chụọrọ ya aja ikpuchi mmehie. Mgbe ahụ ka ọ ga-adị ọcha site nʼịsọ ọbara ya. “‘Nke a bụ usoro iwu dịịrị nwanyị ọbụla mụrụ nwa nwoke, maọbụ nwa nwanyị.
And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.
8 Ọ bụrụ na aka erughị ya iweta nwa atụrụ, ọ ga-eweta ụmụ kpalakwukwu abụọ, maọbụ ụmụ nduru abụọ. Otu ga-abụ maka aja nsure ọkụ, nke ọzọ ga-abụ maka aja mmehie. Onye nchụaja ga-ewere ha chụọrọ ya aja ikpuchi mmehie, ka ọ dịkwa ọcha ọzọ.’”
But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
