Levitikọs 16
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu mgbe ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn abụọ ndị ahụ bịara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nwụsịrị.
The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron's sons when they went into the Lord's presence.
2 Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Gwa nwanne gị nwoke Erọn si ya ka ọ ghara ịbata mgbe ọbụla ọ chọrọ, nʼime Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ nke dị nʼazụ akwa mgbochi, nke dị nʼihu ebe mkpuchi mmehie dị nʼelu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, ma ọ bụghị ya ọ ga-anwụ. Nʼihi na aga m apụta ìhè nʼime igwe ojii dị nʼelu ebe mkpuchi ahụ.
The Lord told Moses: “Warn your brother Aaron not to come into the Most Holy Place whenever he wants, otherwise he'll die. For that's where I appear in the cloud above the atonement cover of the Ark, behind the veil.
3 “Otu a ka Erọn ga-esi na-abata nʼEbe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ. Ọ ga-eweta nwa oke ehi nʼihi aja mmehie, na ebule ọ ga-eji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ,
These are the instructions as to how Aaron is to enter the sanctuary. He is to come with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 Ọ ga-eyikwasị onwe ya uwe mwụda ọcha, ya na uwe ime ahụ dị ọcha. Ọ ga-eke gburugburu ukwu ya ihe ike nʼukwu akwa ọcha, keekwa akwa ọcha nʼisi ya. Ndị a bụ uwe dị nsọ, nʼihi ya, ọ ga-ebu ụzọ saa ahụ tupu ọ na-eyi ha.
He is to be wearing the holy linen tunic, with linen underwear. He has to tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy clothes. He must wash himself with water before he puts them on.
5 Ọ ga-esi nʼaka ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel nata mkpi abụọ nʼihi aja mmehie, na otu ebule nʼihi aja nsure ọkụ.
From the people of Israel he is to bring two male goats for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Erọn ga-eweta oke ehi nke ya, maka aja mmehie iji kpuchie mmehie nke ya na nke ezinaụlọ ya.
Aaron will present the bull as his own sin offering to make himself and his household right.
7 Emesịa, ọ ga-ewere mkpi abụọ ndị ahụ chee ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
Then he will bring the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 Ọ ga-efe nza nʼisi mkpi abụọ ahụ, ịchọpụta nke dịrị Onyenwe anyị nke ọzọ abụrụ nke ọ ga-ahapụ.
Aaron will casts lots to choose between the goats, one for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.
9 Mkpi ahụ nza mara ga-abụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ya ka Erọn ga-egbu dịka aja mmehie.
He will present the goat that was chosen by lot for the Lord and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10 Ma mkpi ahụ nke nza mara dịka ewu na-ewere ọnọdụ iburu mmehie ka a ga-eche na ndụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi iji ya mee mmemme mkpuchi mmehie, a ga-ahapụ ya ka o buru mmehie niile kpafuo nʼọzara.
The goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat is to be presented alive before the Lord to make things right by sending it away into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
11 “Erọn ga-eweta oke ehi maka aja mmehie nke ya onwe ya, iji kpuchie mmehie ya na nke ezinaụlọ ya. Ọ ga-egbu oke ehi ahụ maka aja mmehie nke ya onwe ya.
Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering to make things right for himself and his household by killing the bull as his own sin offering.
12 Ọ ga-esite nʼebe ịchụ aja dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị were ihe ịgụ ọkụ jupụtara nʼicheku ọkụ. Ọ ga-ewerekwa ụda na-esi isi ụtọ ruru mkpoju aka abụọ, were ha bata nʼime akụkụ nke ọzọ nke akwa mgbochi ahụ.
Then he will fill up a incense burner with burning coals from the altar that is before the Lord, and with his hands full of finely-ground sweet-smelling incense, take them behind the veil.
13 Nʼebe ahụ ọ ga-awụnye ụda ndị ahụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu icheku ọkụ ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka anwụrụ ọkụ nke ụda ndị a kpuchie ebe mkpuchi mmehie ahụ dị nʼelu Ihe Ama ahụ ka ọ ghara ịnwụ.
In the presence of the Lord he will put the incense on the burning coals, and the smoke from the incense will cover the atonement cover above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
14 Ọ ga-ewebatakwa ụfọdụ ọbara oke ehi ahụ, jiri mkpịsịaka ya fesa ya nʼihu ebe mkpuchi mmehie ahụ, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, fesakwa ya ugboro asaa nʼihu ebe mkpuchi mmehie ahụ.
He will take some of the bull's blood and with his finger sprinkle it on the east side of the atonement cover. He shall also sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times in front of the atonement cover.
15 “Emesịa, ọ ga-esi nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa gbuo mkpi aja mmehie ụmụ Izrel, werekwa ọbara ya bata nʼazụ akwa mgbochi fesa ya nʼelu ebe mkpuchi mmehie ahụ, na nʼihu ya, dịka o jiri ọbara nwa oke ehi ahụ mee.
Then Aaron will slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull's blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
16 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ ga-ekpuchiri Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ mmehie ya, nʼihi mmehie na nnupu isi ụmụ Izrel, ihe ọbụla mmehie ndị ahụ bụ. Ọ ga-achụkwa ụdị aja a nʼihi ụlọ nzute ahụ, nʼihi na ọ dị nʼetiti ebe obibi rụrụ arụ nke ụmụ Izrel.
This is how he will set right the Most Holy Place and purify it from the uncleanness of the Israelites, their acts of rebellion, and all their sins. He will do the same for the Tent of Meeting which is in the middle of their camp, surrounded by their unclean lives.
17 O nweghị onye ọbụla ọzọ ga-anọ nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, site nʼoge Erọn banyere nʼEbe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ ịchụ aja mkpuchi mmehie tutu ruo mgbe ọ pụtara, mgbe ọ chụchara aja mkpuchi mmehie maka onwe ya na ezinaụlọ ya, na maka ụmụ Izrel niile.
No one can be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron enters to purify the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made things right for himself, his household, and all the Israelites.
18 “Mgbe o si nʼebe ahụ pụta, gaa nʼebe ịchụ aja dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị kpuchiere ya mmehie ya. Ọ ga-ewere ụfọdụ ọbara nwa oke ehi ahụ na nke mkpi ahụ tee ya na mpi niile dị nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
Then he shall go to the altar that is before the Lord and purify it. He is to take some of the blood from the bull and the goat and put it on all the horns of the altar.
19 Ọ ga-eji mkpịsịaka ya fesa ụfọdụ ọbara ahụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ugboro asaa iji hichapụ adịghị ọcha ya nʼihi ịrụ arụ ụmụ Izrel, na ido ya nsọ.
He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to dedicate it and purify it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
20 “Mgbe Erọn chụchara aja mkpuchi mmehie maka Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ, ụlọ nzute, nakwa ebe ịchụ aja, ọ ga-akpụbata mkpi ahụ e debere ndụ.
Once Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to present the live goat.
21 Ọ ga-ebikwasị aka ya abụọ nʼisi ya, kwupụta ajọ omume na nnupu isi ụmụ Izrel niile, mmehie ha niile, bokwasị ha mkpi ahụ nʼisi. Ọ ga-ezipụ mkpi ahụ pụọ nʼime ọzara site nʼaka onye ahụ a họpụtara ime nke a.
Then he will put both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wrongs of the Israelites, all their acts of rebellion, and all their sins. He is to put them on the goat's head and send it away into the desert, taken there by a man chosen to do it.
22 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, mkpi ahụ ga-eburu mmehie ndị ahụ niile baa nʼebe mmadụ ọbụla na-ebighị. Nwoke ahụ ga-ahapụkwa ya nʼọzara.
The goat will take upon itself all their sins and go into a distant place, and the man will send it away into the desert.
23 “Mgbe ahụ, Erọn ga-aba nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, yipụ uwe akwa ọcha ndị nchụaja ahụ niile o yi nʼahụ ya tupu ọ banye nʼEbe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ. Ọ ga-awụsa ha nʼebe ahụ.
Aaron is to return to the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen clothes he put on before he went into the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 Ọ ga-eji mmiri saa ahụ ya nʼakụkụ ebe nsọ ahụ, yirikwa uwe efu ya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-apụta bịa chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nke onwe ya, na aja nsure ọkụ nke ndị ahụ, maka ikpuchiri onwe ya, na ikpuchikwara ndị ahụ mmehie ha.
He is to wash himself with water in the sanctuary and put on his own clothes. Then he will go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people's burnt offering that makes him and the people right.
25 Ọ ga-akpọkwa abụba anụ e ji chụọ aja mmehie ahụ ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja.
He also must burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 “Mgbe nwoke ahụ kpụgara mkpi ahụ nʼọzara hapụ ya, lọtara, ọ ga-asa ahụ ya na uwe ya tupu ọ laghachi nʼime obodo.
The man who went and sent away the scapegoat must wash his clothes and wash himself with water; then he may come back into the camp.
27 Oke ehi nakwa mkpi maka ịchụ aja mmehie ahụ, bụ nke ewebatara ọbara ha nʼime Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ, maka ikpuchi mmehie, ka aghaghị ibupụ nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu; a ga-akpọ akpụkpọ ha, anụ ahụ ha na mgbịrị afọ ha niile ọkụ.
The remains of the bull used for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to purify it, must be taken outside the camp. Their skin, meat, and waste must be burned.
28 Onye ga-akpọ ha ọkụ ga-asa uwe ya, saakwa ahụ ya tupu ọ laghachi nʼime obodo.
The person who burns them must wash his clothes and wash himself with water; then he may come back into the camp.
29 “Nke a ga-abụrụ unu ụkpụrụ ebighị ebi. Nʼafọ ọbụla, unu ga-ebu ọnụ, hapụ ịrụ ọrụ ọbụla, nʼụbọchị iri nke ọnwa asaa. Iwu a dịrị nwa afọ ala maọbụ onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu.
This regulation applies to you for all time. The tenth day of the seventh month is a day of self-denial for you. You are not to do any work. This applies to all who are native-born and also any foreigner who living among you,
30 Nʼihi na nʼụbọchị a ka a na-ekpuchiri unu mmehie unu, ime ka unu dịrị ọcha. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-abụ ndị dị ọcha site na mmehie unu niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
for on this day the process of making you right will be done, to make you clean from all your sins, clean before the Lord.

The priest who is anointed and dedicated to succeed his father as high priest shall carry out the ceremony of making things right, and put on the holy linen clothes.
33 Ọ ga-ekpuchiri Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ na ụlọ nzute, ebe ịchụ aja na ndị nchụaja, na mkpokọta ndị obodo niile mmehie ha.
He will carry out the purification of the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, also making right the priests and all the people.
34 “Nke a ga-abụ iwu ebighị ebi nye unu. Otu ugboro nʼotu afọ ka a ga-ekpuchi mmehie maka mmehie ndị Izrel niile.” E mezuru ihe ndị a niile dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya Mosis nʼiwu.
This regulation applies to you for all time: once a year the Israelites have all their sins made right.” Moses did everything as the Lord had ordered.
