Levitikọs 22
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 “Gwa Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ha jiri nsọpụrụ nabata onyinye dị nsọ nke ụmụ Izrel na-edo nsọ nye m, ka ha ghara imerụ aha nsọ m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto Me, and that they profane not My holy name: I am the LORD.
3 “Gwa ha sị, ‘Nʼọgbọ unu niile na-abịa, ọ bụrụ na enwee onye ọbụla nʼagbụrụ unu nke bịara nso nʼihe ndị ahụ dị nsọ ụmụ Izrel na-edo nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, mgbe onye ahụ nọ ọnọdụ dịka onye rụrụ arụ, a ga-esi nʼihu m wezuga onye ahụ. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
Say unto them: Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before Me: I am the LORD.
4 “‘Onye ọbụla bụ nwa nwa Erọn nke ọrịa ekpenta na-arịa, maọbụ nke ihe si nʼahụ ya na-asọpụta agaghị eri aja dị nsọ tutu ruo mgbe e mere ka ọ dịrị ọcha. Ọ ga-abụkwa onye rụrụ arụ ma ọ bụrụ na o metụ ozu aka, maọbụ onye mkpụrụ nwa na-esite nʼahụ awụsị,
What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any one that is unclean by the dead; or from whomsoever the flow of seed goeth out;
5 maọbụ na o metụrụ anụ na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala aka, nke na-emerụ ya, maọbụ na ọ metụrụ mmadụ aka nke mere ka ọ bụrụ onye rụrụ arụ nʼagbanyeghị ihe ọ bụ na-emerụ ya.
or whosoever toucheth any swarming thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6 Onye ahụ metụrụ ihe ndị a aka ga-abụ onye rụrụ arụ ruo uhuruchi. Ọ gaghị eri ihe nsọ ọbụla tutu ruo mgbe ọ sachara ahụ.
the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
7 Mgbe anyanwụ dara ka ọ ga-adị ọcha, nweekwa ike iri ihe dị nsọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ nri ya.
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 Ọ gaghị eri anụ nwụrụ anwụ, maọbụ nke anụ ọzọ dọgburu, nʼihi na ihe ndị a ga-emerụ ya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
9 “‘Ndị nchụaja kwesiri idebe ụkpụrụ m, ka ha ghara ịbụ ndị ikpe mara si otu a nwụọ nʼihi na ha lelịrị ha anya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo ha nsọ.
They shall therefore keep My charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am the LORD who sanctify them.
10 “‘O nweghị onye ọbụla na-esiteghị nʼezinaụlọ ndị nchụaja ga-eri aja nsọ ahụ. Onye bụ ọbịa na onye e goro ọrụ nọ nʼụlọ onye nchụaja agaghị eri ya.
There shall no common man eat of the holy thing; a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 Otu ọ dị, ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja weere ego nke aka ya gbata ohu, maọbụ na a mụrụ ohu ahụ nʼụlọ ya, ohu ahụ nwere ike iri aja nsọ ahụ.
But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he may eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they may eat of his bread.
12 Ọ bụrụ na nwa nwanyị onye nchụaja alụọ onye na-abụghị onye nchụaja, ọ gaghị eri ihe ọbụla site nʼime aja nsọ a.
And if a priest's daughter be married unto a common man, she shall not eat of that which is set apart from the holy things.
13 Ma nwa nwanyị onye nchụaja nke di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ na ya na di ya ebikwaghị, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ mụtaghị nwa ọbụla, ọ lọghachi bịa biri nʼụlọ nna ya dịka o mere mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọ, o nwere ike iri nri dị nʼụlọ nna ya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-ekwesighị iri ya, nke ga-eri ya.
But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread; but there shall no common man eat thereof.
14 “‘Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla erie onyinye nsọ ahụ na-amaghị ama, ọ ga-eweghachiri onye nchụaja ihe niile o riri tụkwasịkwa ya otu ụzọ nʼụzọ ise ọzọ.
And if a man eat of the holy thing through error, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.
15 Ndị nchụaja ekwesighị imerụ onyinye nsọ ụmụ Izrel na-eche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị,
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they set apart unto the LORD;
16 site nʼikwenye ka ndị mmadụ efu rie onyinye nsọ ahụ, si otu a wetara ndị riri ya ikpe ọmụma nke ya na nkwụghachi so. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo ha nsọ.’”
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctify them.
17 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
18 “Gwa Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla, onye Izrel maọbụ onye ọbịa nʼIzrel, eweta aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị imezu nkwa o kwere, maọbụ dịka onyinye afọ ofufu,
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that bringeth his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their free-will-offerings, which are brought unto the LORD for a burnt-offering;
19 ọ ga-eweta otu oke nke na-enweghị nkwarụ nke si nʼigwe ehi, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ ewu, ka a nabata ya nʼaha.
that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Ewebatala ihe ọbụla nke nwere nkwarụ, nʼihi na agaghị m anabata ya nʼaha gị.
But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not bring; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 Mgbe onye ọbụla wetara ehi maọbụ atụrụ maọbụ ewu site nʼigwe anụ, dịka onyinye aja udo ọ na-enye Onyenwe anyị maka imezu nkwa, maọbụ onyinye afọ ofufu, ọ ga-abụ nke na-enweghị ọrụsị maọbụ ntụpọ ọbụla tupu a nabata ya.
And whosoever bringeth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
22 Anụmanụ ọbụla kpuru ìsì, maọbụ nke merụrụ ahụ, maọbụ nke ụkwụ maọbụ aka gbajiri, maọbụ nke akpụkpa dị nʼahụ ya, maọbụ ihe nwere ure, maọbụ nke ọnya dị nʼahụ, agaghị abụ ihe onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị. Unu atụkwasịkwala ha nʼebe ịchụ aja dịka onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị.
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
23 Unu nwere ike jiri ehi maọbụ atụrụ nke akụkụ ahụ ya tara ata, maọbụ nke otu akụkụ ya buru ibu karịa ibe ya chụọ aja onyinye si nʼobi, ma a gaghị e ji ya chụọ aja imezu nkwa.
Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing too long or too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Unu agaghị enye anụmanụ ọbụla nke mkpụrụ amụ ya chipịara echipịa, maọbụ nke pịara apịa, maọbụ nke a dọwapụrụ adọwapụ maọbụ nke a chakapụrụ achakapụ, dịka onyinye nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Unu enyekwala ụdị onyinye a nʼala unu.
That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut, ye shall not offer unto the LORD; neither shall ye do thus in your land.
25 Unu esitekwala nʼaka onye ọbịa nata ụdị onyinye a, ma webata ya dịka nri a na-enye Chineke unu. A gaghị anabata ha nʼọnọdụ unu, nʼihi na ha nwere nkwarụ, nwekwa ntụpọ.’”
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them; they shall not be accepted for you.
26 Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
27 “Mgbe a mụrụ nwa ehi, maọbụ nwa atụrụ, maọbụ ewu ọhụrụ, a ga-ahapụ ya na nne ya ụbọchị asaa. Site nʼụbọchị nke asatọ gaa nʼihu a ga-anabata ya dịka onyinye ihe oriri i ji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; but from the eighth day and thenceforth it may be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 Egbula nne anụ na nwa ya nʼotu ụbọchị, maọbụ ehi maọbụ atụrụ.
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 “Mgbe unu na-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja ekele, chụọnụ ya nʼụzọ ahụ a ga-anabata ya.
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
30 Riekwanụ anụ aja ahụ nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, ka ọ hapụ ịfọdụ ruo echi ya. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the LORD.
31 “Unu ga-edebe iwu m ndị a niile, mee ha nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
And ye shall keep My commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
32 Unu emekwala ka aha m ghara ịdị nsọ. A ga-edo aha m nsọ nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel, nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo unu nsọ.
And ye shall not profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who hallow you,
33 Ọ bụ m kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt ka m bụrụ Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.”
that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
