Levitikọs 23
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Ndị a bụ mmemme a kara aka nye Onyenwe anyị, nke unu ga-ekwusa dịka mkpọkọta dị nsọ.
Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.
3 “‘Ụbọchị isii ka unu ga-eji rụọ ọrụ. Ma ụbọchị nke asaa, bụ ụbọchị izuike, ụbọchị mkpọkọta dị nsọ. Unu agaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼebe ọbụla unu bi. Ọ bụ ụbọchị izuike nye Onyenwe anyị.
On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.
4 “‘Ndị a bụ mmemme Onyenwe anyị a kara aka, mkpọkọta dị nsọ nke unu ga-ekwusa nʼoge a kara aka.
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.
5 Nʼọnwa mbụ, nʼụbọchị nke iri na anọ nke ọnwa ahụ, nʼoge uhuruchi, mgbe anwụ dara, ka Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị ga-adị.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;
6 Mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko Onyenwe anyị ka unu ga-ebido nʼụbọchị iri na ise nke ọnwa ahụ. Abalị asaa ka unu ga-eri achịcha a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee.
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.
7 Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke mmemme a, unu ga-enwe mkpọkọta dị nsọ, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla ga-arụ ọrụ ọbụla.
On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.
8 Unu ga-eweta aja e sitere nʼọkụ chụọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa nweenụ mkpọkọta dị nsọ, unu arụkwala ọrụ nke ụbọchị ahụ.’”
And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.
9 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya,
And the Lord said to Moses,
10 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel sị ha, ‘Mgbe unu banyere nʼala ahụ m na-aga inye unu, ghọta mkpụrụ ihe ubi nke mbụ unu, unu ga-ewetara onye nchụaja otu ukwu ọka site nʼọka unu ghọtara nʼubi unu.
Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;
11 Ọ ga-anara unu ukwu ọka ahụ fufee ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka a nabata ya. Ọ bụ nʼụbọchị ahụ ga-esote ụbọchị izuike ka onye nchụaja ga-efufe ya.
And let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him; on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest.
12 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ e fufere ukwu ọka ahụ, unu ga-ewere nwa ebule na-enweghị ntụpọ, nke gbara naanị otu afọ, chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ.
And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.
13 Aja mkpụrụ ọka ga-eso aja nsure ọkụ a. Ọ ga-eji iko ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma iri na abụọ a gwara mmanụ oliv, ka ọ bụrụ ihe e surere nʼọkụ na-esi ezi isi ọma nye Onyenwe anyị. A ga-enyekwa iko mmanya atọ dịka onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ
And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 Unu agaghị eri achịcha, maọbụ ọka e ghere eghe, maọbụ ọka ọhụrụ tutu ruo mgbe unu buru ụzọ weta onyinye nye Chineke unu. Nʼebe ọbụla unu bi, ụkpụrụ a ga-adịgide ruo ọgbọ niile.
And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
15 “‘Site nʼụbọchị ahụ sotere ụbọchị izuike, bụ ụbọchị ahụ unu wetara ukwu ọka nke onyinye mfufe, gụpụta izu asaa zuru ezu.
And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;
16 Gụpụtakwa iri ụbọchị ise site nʼụbọchị izuike ahụ mezuru izu asaa ahụ ma wetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye ọka ọhụrụ.
Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.
17 Site nʼebe ọbụla unu bi, unu ga-ewetara Onyenwe anyị ogbe achịcha abụọ nke unu ji iko ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma iri na abụọ, nke e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee, ya bụ yiist, dịka aja mfufe nke mkpụrụ mbụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.
18 Tinyere achịcha a, unu ga-eweta ụmụ atụrụ asaa gbara otu afọ, ndị na-enweghị ntụpọ, na otu nwa oke ehi, na ebule abụọ. Ha ga-abụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị, ya na aja mkpụrụ ọka na aja ihe ọṅụṅụ, aja e sitere nʼọkụ chụọ, nke isisi ya dị ezi mma nye Onyenwe anyị.
And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord.
19 Unu ga-ejikwa otu mkpi chụọ aja mmehie. Werekwa ụmụ atụrụ abụọ gbara otu afọ, otu afọ, chụọ aja udo.
And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.
20 Onye nchụaja ga-efufe ụmụ atụrụ abụọ ndị a, na achịcha ndị si na mkpụrụ mbụ ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka aja mfufe. Ha bụ aja dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụkwa ndị nchụaja ga-ewere ha dịka nri ha.
And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.
21 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ unu ga-akpọsakwa mkpọkọta dị nsọ, unu arụkwala ọrụ nke ụbọchị ahụ. Nke a ga-abụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide ebighị ebi site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ niile, nʼebe ọbụla unu bi.
And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
22 “‘Mgbe unu na-ewe ihe ubi, unu ewechala ihe niile dị nʼakụkụ niile nke ubi unu. Hapụrụnụ ha ụmụ ogbenye, na ndị ọbịa. Hapụkwara ha mkpụrụ ubi niile dara nʼala. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.’”
And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.
23 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the Lord said to Moses,
24 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel sị, ‘Ụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa nke asaa ga-abụ ụbọchị izuike, ụbọchị mkpọkọta dị nsọ nke a ga-eji opi na-ada oke ụda cheta.
Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.
25 Unu arụla ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ, kama unu ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.’”
Do no field-work and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
26 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the Lord said to Moses,
27 “Ụbọchị nke iri nke ọnwa asaa a bụ ụbọchị Mkpuchi Mmehie. Ọ bụ ụbọchị mkpọkọta dị nsọ nye unu. Unu ga-ata onwe unu ahụhụ bịa wetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye site nʼọkụ.
The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
28 Unu arụla ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ bụ ụbọchị ịchụ aja mkpuchi mmehie unu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.
29 Onye ọbụla na-ejighị ụbọchị ahụ weda onwe ya nʼala ka a ga-ekewapụ site nʼetiti ndị ya.
For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.
30 Aga m ebibikwa onye ọbụla rụrụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ.
And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.
31 Unu agaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla. Nʼebe ọbụla unu bi, ụkpụrụ a ga-adịgide nye unu niile site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.
32 Ọ ga-abụ ụbọchị izuike zuruoke nye unu, unu ga-ewedakwa onwe unu nʼala. Nʼụbọchị nke itoolu nke ọnwa ahụ, site nʼuhuruchi ruo nʼuhuruchi nke na-esote ya, unu ga-edebe izuike unu.”
Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.
33 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the Lord said to Moses,
34 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Nʼụbọchị nke iri na ise, nʼọnwa nke asaa, ka unu ga-amalite mmemme Ụlọ Ikwu Onyenwe anyị. A ga-eme ya ụbọchị asaa.
Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.
35 Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ bụ ụbọchị mkpọkọta dị nsọ. Onye ọbụla agaghị arụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ.
On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.
36 Nʼụbọchị ọbụla nʼime ụbọchị asaa ndị a niile ka a ga-ewetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye site nʼọkụ. Nʼụbọchị nke asatọ ka mkpọkọta dị nsọ ga-adị. A ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị, nʼụbọchị a. Ọ bụ mkpokọta mmechi, nʼihi ya, a gaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ.
Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.
37 (“‘Ndị a bụ mmemme a kara aka, mgbe a ga-ekwusa mkpọkọta dị nsọ maka iwetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye nri, ya bụ, onyinye aja nsure ọkụ, na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka, na aja dị iche iche, na onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ dịka e sị hazie na ọ ga na-adị kwa ụbọchị.
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;
38 Unu ga-enye onyinye ndị a, tinyere onyinye a na-enye Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị izuike, na tinyere onyinye ndị ọzọ unu na-enye na ihe ndị ọzọ unu kwere na nkwa, na onyinye afọ ofufu niile unu na-enye Onyenwe anyị.)
In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.
39 “‘Ya mere, malite nʼụbọchị nke iri na ise nke ọnwa asaa, mgbe unu webatasịrị ihe ubi unu, meerenụ Onyenwe anyị mmemme ụbọchị asaa, ụbọchị nke mbụ, na ụbọchị nke asatọ ga-abụ ụbọchị izuike.
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.
40 Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ, unu ga-ewere ụfọdụ mkpụrụ osisi dị mma nke si nʼosisi unu na-amị mkpụrụ, gbutekwa igu nkwụ, na alaka osisi nwere ahịhịa ndụ, na osisi pọpla, jiri ha mee mmemme obi ụtọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ụbọchị asaa.
On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.
41 Mmemme ụbọchị asaa a ga-adị nye Onyenwe anyị nʼafọ niile, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ unu niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼọnwa nke asaa ka unu ga-eme mmemme a.
And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.
42 Nʼoge mmemme a, ụmụ Izrel niile ga-ebi nʼụlọ e ji alaka osisi na ahịhịa wuo ụbọchị asaa. Ụmụ afọ Izrel niile ga-ebi nʼụlọ dị otu a.
For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:
43 Nke a ga-echetara ọgbọ ụmụ Izrel niile na mgbe m kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt, unu biri nʼụlọ e ji osisi na ahịhịa wuo nʼọzara. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.’”
So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 Mosis gwara ụmụ Izrel ihe gbasara mmemme niile a kara aka nye Onyenwe anyị.
And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.
