Levitikọs 16

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu mgbe ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn abụọ ndị ahụ bịara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nwụsịrị.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the LORD, and died;

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.

and the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat.

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,

Herewith shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock 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 shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.

5 Ọ ga-esi nʼaka ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel nata mkpi abụọ nʼihi aja mmehie, na otu ebule nʼihi aja nsure ọkụ.

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin offering, and one 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.

And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.

7 Emesịa, ọ ga-ewere mkpi abụọ ndị ahụ chee ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.

And he shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of 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.

And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for Azazel.

9 Mkpi ahụ nza mara ga-abụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ya ka Erọn ga-egbu dịka aja mmehie.

And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for 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.

But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before the LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness.

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.

And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:

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.

and he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within 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.

and he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:

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.

and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

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 shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat:

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.

and he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins: and so shall he do for the tent of meeting, that dwelleth with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

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.

And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

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.

And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.

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.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel.

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.

And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall 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.

and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man that is in readiness into the wilderness:

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.

and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

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.

And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall 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.

and he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

25 Ọ ga-akpọkwa abụba anụ e ji chụọ aja mmehie ahụ ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja.

And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon 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.

And he that letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come 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.

And the bullock of the sin offering, and the goat of the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be carried forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

28 Onye ga-akpọ ha ọkụ ga-asa uwe ya, saakwa ahụ ya tupu ọ laghachi nʼime obodo.

And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come 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.

And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the homeborn, or the stranger that sojourneth 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 shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the LORD.

31 Ọ bụ ụbọchị izuike nye unu, bụrụkwa ụbọchị unu ga-ebu ọnụ. Iwu a enweghị mgbanwe!

It is a sabbath of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; it is a statute for ever.

32 Onye nchụaja e tere mmanụ, nke e doro nsọ dịka onye nchụaja ịnọchi nna ya, ga-achụ aja mkpuchi mmehie ndị a, yirikwa akwa ọcha ahụ, bụ uwe nsọ ahụ.

And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments:

33 Ọ ga-ekpuchiri Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ na ụlọ nzute, ebe ịchụ aja na ndị nchụaja, na mkpokọta ndị obodo niile mmehie ha.

and he shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

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.

And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
