And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 “Gwa ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha: ‘Dịnụ nsọ, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, dị nsọ.

Speake vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Ye shalbe holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

3 “‘Onye ọbụla nʼime unu aghaghị ịsọpụrụ nne na nna ya, debekwa iwu m nyere maka ụbọchị izuike, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.

5 “‘Mgbe unu ga-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja udo, soronụ ụkpụrụ m nyere unu chụọ ya, ka m nabata ya.

And when yee shall offer a peace offering vnto the Lord, ye shall offer it freely.

6 Unu ga-eri ya nʼụbọchị ahụ unu chụrụ ya, maọbụ nʼụbọchị nke na-eso ụbọchị ahụ. Nke ọbụla fọdụrụ ruo ụbọchị nke atọ ka unu ga-esure ọkụ.

It shall be eaten the day yee offer it, or on the morowe: and that which remaineth vntill the third day, shalbe burnt in the fire.

7 Ọ bụrụ na unu erie ya nʼụbọchị nke atọ ihe arụ ka ọ bụ. A gaghị anabata aja ọbụla unu ga-eri nʼụbọchị nke atọ.

For if it be eaten the third day, it shall be vncleane, it shall not be accepted.

8 Ikpe ga-ama onye ga-eri ya nʼụbọchị nke atọ nʼihi na o meela ka ihe nsọ Onyenwe anyị bụrụ ihe arụ. A ga-ekewapụ onye ahụ site nʼetiti ndị ya.

Therefore he that eateth it, shall beare his iniquitie, because he hath defiled the halowed thing of the Lord, and that person shalbe cut off from his people.

Also yee shall not sweare by my name falsely, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

13 “‘Unu ejila ike pụnara onye agbataobi unu ihe ya, maọbụ zuru ihe o nwere nʼohi. “‘Kwụọnụ onye ọbụla unu goro ọrụ ụgwọ ọrụ ya ọsịịsọ. Unu echela ka chi bọọ tupu unu akwụọ ya ụgwọ ya.

Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement. Thou shalt not fauour the person of the poore, nor honour the person of the mightie, but thou shalt iudge thy neighbour iustly.

Then the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ramme of the trespasse offering before the Lord, concerning his sinne which he hath done, and pardon shalbe giuen him for his sinne which he hath committed.

Also when ye shall come into the land, and haue planted euery tree for meate, ye shall count the fruite thereof as vncircumcised: three yeere shall it be vncircumcised vnto you, it shall not be eaten:

24 Nʼafọ nke anọ, mkpụrụ nke osisi ndị ahụ niile ga-amị dị nsọ. Unu ga-eji ya nye Onyenwe anyị onyinye otuto.

But the stranger that dwelleth with you, shalbe as one of your selues, and thou shalt loue him as thy selfe: for ye were strangers in the lad of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

35 “‘Unu ejila ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ mgbe unu na-atụ ihe dị ogologo, maọbụ ihe dị arọ, maọbụ ihe dị ukwuu,

Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement, in line, in weight, or in measure.

36 Jirinụ ezi ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ogologo, maọbụ ihe dị arọ, maọbụ ihe dị ukwuu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu.

You shall haue iust ballances, true weightes, a true Ephah, and a true Hin. I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt.
