Levitikọs 17

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 “Gwa Erọn, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, na ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.

Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel, and say vnto them, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,

3 Onye ọbụla bụ onye ụlọ Izrel gbuo ehi, maọbụ nwa atụrụ, maọbụ ewu nʼogige ebe obibi, maọbụ nʼazụ ebe obibi,

Whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel that killeth a bullocke, or lambe, or goate in the hoste, or that killeth it out of the hoste,

4 ma o wetaghị ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute iche ya dịka onyinye nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, a ga-agụ onye ahụ dịka onye ikpe iwufu ọbara mara. Ọ wụfuola ọbara, nʼihi ya, a ga-esite nʼetiti ndị ya kewapụ ya.

And bringeth it not vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation to offer an offring vnto the Lord before the Tabernacle of the Lord, blood shalbe imputed vnto that man: he hath shed blood, wherefore that man shall be cut off from among his people.

5 Ihe e ji nye iwu a bụ ka ụmụ Izrel wetara Onyenwe anyị aja niile ha na-achụ ugbu a na mbara ezi ọbụla. Ha kwesiri iwetara ya Onyenwe anyị site nʼaka onye nchụaja nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, ka o jiri ya chụọrọ ha aja udo.

Therefore the children of Israel shall bring their offrings, which they would offer abroad in the fielde, and present the vnto ye Lord at the doore of the Tabernacle of ye Congregation by ye Priest, and offer them for peace offrings vnto the Lord.

6 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-efesa ọbara ahụ nʼebe ịchụ aja dị nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, kpọọkwa abụba ya ọkụ, ka ọ bụrụ aja nsure ọkụ nke isisi ya dị Onyenwe anyị ezi ụtọ.

Then the Priest shall sprinkle the blood vpon the Altar of the Lord before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and burne the fat for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.

7 O kwesikwaghị ka ndị Izrel chụọ aja ha ọzọ na mbara ezi nye arụsị ewu ndị ha na-akpọ isiala nye. Iwu a ga-adịgide nye ha na ụmụ ha niile, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.’

And they shall no more offer their offerings vnto deuils, after whom they haue gone a whoring: this shalbe an ordinance for euer vnto them in their generations.

8 “Gwa ha, ‘Onye Izrel ọbụla, maọbụ onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu, nke ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ maọbụ aja ọzọ,

Also thou shalt say vnto them, whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which soiourne among them, that offreth a burnt offring or sacrifice,

9 ma o webataghị ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, ebe a ga-achụrụ ya Onyenwe anyị, ka a ga-ewezuga site nʼetiti ndị ya.

And bringeth it not vnto ye doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation to offer it vnto the Lord, euen that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 “‘Onye Izrel ọbụla maọbụ onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti ha, nke riri ọbara ọbụla ka m ga-eche ihu m megide. A ga-ewezuga ya site nʼetiti ndị m.

Likewise whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that soiourne among them, that eateth any blood, I will euen set my face against that person that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

11 Nʼihi na ndụ ihe nwere ndụ dị nʼọbara ya, ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji nye iwu na a ga-awụsa ọbara niile nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja, maka iji ya kpuchie mmehie unu. Ọ bụ ọbara na-ekpuchi mmehie maka ndụ mmadụ.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I haue giuen it vnto you to offer vpon the altar, to make an atonement for your soules: for this blood shall make an atonement for the soule.

12 Nʼihi nke a, a sịrị ndị Izrel, “Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu, maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla nke bi nʼetiti unu ga-eri ọbara.”

Therefore I saide vnto ye children of Israel, None of you shall eate blood: neither the stranger that soiourneth among you, shall eate blood.

13 “‘Onye Izrel ọbụla, na onye ọbịa ọbụla binyere unu nke gara ịchụ nta, gbuo anụ maọbụ nnụnụ ọbụla a na-eri eri, ga-awụfu ọbara ya were aja kpuchie ya.

Moreouer whosoeuer he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that soiourne among the, which by hunting taketh any beast or foule that may be eaten, he shall powre out the blood thereof, and couer it with dust:

14 Nʼihi na ndụ ihe niile nwere ndụ dị nʼọbara. Ọ bụ ya mere m ji nye ụmụ Izrel iwu si unu erila ọbara anụmanụ ọbụla, nʼihi na ndụ ihe niile nwere ndụ dị nʼọbara ya. Nʼihi ya onye ọbụla riri ọbara, a ga-ekewapụ ya site nʼetiti ndị m.

For ye life of all flesh is his blood, it is ioyned with his life: therefore I sayd vnto the children of Israel, Ye shall eate the blood of no flesh: for the life of al flesh is the blood thereof: whosoeuer eateth it, shalbe cut off.

15 “‘Mmadụ ọbụla, maọbụ nwa afọ ma ọ bụkwanụ onye ọbịa, nke riri anụ nwụrụ nʼonwe ya, maọbụ nke anụ ọhịa dọgburu, ga-eji mmiri saa uwe ya na ahụ ya, ọ ga-abụkwa onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi tupu ọ dị ọcha ọzọ.

And euery person that eateth it which dyeth alone, or that which is torne with beastes, whether it be one of the same countrey or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and wash himselfe in water, and be vncleane vnto the euen: after he shalbe cleane.

16 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ saghị uwe ya na ahụ ya, ikpe ọmụma dị ya nʼisi.’”

But if he wash them not, nor wash his flesh, then he shall beare his iniquitie.
