Levitikọs 17

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

And the LORD spoke unto 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.

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto 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,

What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp,

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 hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to present it as an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD, blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and 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.

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto 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.

And the priest shall dash the blood against the altar of the LORD at the door of the tent of meeting, and make the fat smoke for a sweet savour unto 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 sacrifice their sacrifices unto the satyrs, after whom they go astray. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

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

And thou shalt say unto them: Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering 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 unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto the LORD, even 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.

And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set My face against that soul 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 have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

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 said unto the children of Israel: No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat 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.

And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that taketh in hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover 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 as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof; therefore I said unto the children of Israel: Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; whosoever eateth it shall be 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 every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even; then shall he be clean.

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

But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
