Levitikọs 23

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The set feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set 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.

“‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.

4 “‘Ndị a bụ mmemme Onyenwe anyị a kara aka, mkpọkọta dị nsọ nke unu ga-ekwusa nʼoge a kara aka.

“‘These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.

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 in the evening, 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.

On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7 Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke mmemme a, unu ga-enwe mkpọkọta dị nsọ, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla ga-arụ ọrụ ọbụla.

In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular 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.’”

But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.’”

9 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest 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.

He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

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.

On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt 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

The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall 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.

You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

15 “‘Site nʼụbọchị ahụ sotere ụbọchị izuike, bụ ụbọchị ahụ unu wetara ukwu ọka nke onyinye mfufe, gụpụta izu asaa zuru ezu.

“‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.

16 Gụpụtakwa iri ụbọchị ise site nʼụbọchị izuike ahụ mezuru izu asaa ahụ ma wetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye ọka ọhụrụ.

The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer 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.

You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, 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.

You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to the LORD.

19 Unu ga-ejikwa otu mkpi chụọ aja mmehie. Werekwa ụmụ atụrụ abụọ gbara otu afọ, otu afọ, chụọ aja udo.

You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of 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.

The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall 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.

You shall make proclamation on the same day that there shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

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.’”

“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field. You must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.’”

23 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest for you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

25 Unu arụla ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ, kama unu ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.’”

You shall do no regular work. You shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”

26 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall afflict yourselves and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.

28 Unu arụla ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ bụ ụbọchị ịchụ aja mkpuchi mmehie unu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.

You shall do no kind of work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you 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 whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people.

30 Aga m ebibikwa onye ọbụla rụrụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ.

Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from amongst his people.

31 Unu agaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla. Nʼebe ọbụla unu bi, ụkpụrụ a ga-adịgide nye unu niile site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.

You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

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.”

It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”

33 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

“Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to the LORD.

35 Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ bụ ụbọchị mkpọkọta dị nsọ. Onye ọbụla agaghị arụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ.

On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular 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.

Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.

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 appointed feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own 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 your gifts, and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your free will offerings, which you give 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.

“‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

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.

You shall take on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God 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.

You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.

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.

You shall dwell in temporary shelters for seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters,

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.’”

that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in temporary shelters when I brought 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.

So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD.
