1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya,
Yahweh 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.
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male child, then she will be unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during the days of her monthly period.
3 Nʼụbọchị nke asatọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ya, a ga-ebi nwa nwoke ahụ ugwu.
On the eighth day the flesh of a baby boy's foreskin must 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.
Then the mother's purification from her bleeding will continue for thirty-three days. She must not touch any holy thing or come into the tabernacle area until the days of her purification are finished.
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.
But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as she is during her period. Then the mother's purification will continue 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 finished, for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or dove as a sin offering, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the priest.
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.
Then he will offer it before Yahweh and make atonement for her, and she will be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law regarding a woman who gives birth to either a male or a female child.
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.’”
If she is not able to afford a lamb, then she must take two doves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering, and the priest will make atonement for her; then she will be clean.'”
