Levitikọs 4

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu, sị ha, ‘Mgbe onye ọbụla mehiere na-amaghị ama, megide ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu:

Say to the sons of Israel: The soul which will have sinned through ignorance, and concerning any of the commandments of the Lord that he instructed not to be done, if anything at all has been done:

3 “‘Ọ bụrụ na onye nchụaja e tere mmanụ emehie na-amaghị ama, si otu a weta ikpe ọmụma nʼisi ọha mmadụ. Ọ ga-ewetara Onyenwe anyị otu oke ehi na-enweghị ntụpọ dịka aja mmehie, nʼihi mmehie ahụ o mere.

if the priest, who is anointed, will have sinned, causing the people to commit a transgression, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin an immaculate calf.

4 Ọ ga-ewere oke ehi ahụ bịa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼisi ya, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

And he shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord. And he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it to the Lord.

5 Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja e tere mmanụ ga-eburu ụfọdụ ọbara oke ehi ahụ baa nʼime ụlọ nzute.

Likewise, he shall take from the blood of the calf, carrying it into the tabernacle of the testimony,

6 Ọ ga-edenye mkpịsịaka ya nʼime ọbara ahụ, fesa ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu akwa mgbochi nke ebe nsọ ahụ.

and having dipped his finger into the blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times in the sight of the Lord, opposite the veil of the Sanctuary.

7 Onye nchụaja ga-etekwasị ụfọdụ ọbara ahụ na mpi dị nʼebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ihe na-esi isi ụtọ, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼime ụlọ nzute. Ọbara fọdụrụ nʼoke ehi ahụ ka ọ ga-awụsa nʼụkwụ ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ, nʼọnụ ụzọ ịba ụlọ nzute.

And he shall place some of the same blood over the horns of the altar of most pleasing incense to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. Then he shall pour out the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar of holocaust at the entrance of the tabernacle.

8 Ọ ga-ewepụ abụba niile site nʼoke ehi aja mmehie, abụba niile kpuchiri ihe dị nʼime afọ ya na nke jikọtara ha,

And, on behalf of the sin, he shall take the fat of the calf, both that which covers the vital organs and all that is interior,

9 na akụrụ ya abụọ na abụba kpuchiri ha ruo nʼakụkụ ukwu ya, na ihe kpuchiri umeju ya, nke ọ ga-ewepụ ya na akụrụ ya,

the two little kidneys, and the mesh that is on them near the sides, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys,

10 dịka e si ewepụ abụba oke ehi e ji chụọ aja udo. Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-akpọ ha ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ.

just as it is taken from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.

11 Ma akpụkpọ anụ oke ehi ahụ na ahụ ya niile, ma isi ya, na ụkwụ ya, na ihe dị nʼime afọ ya, na mgbịrị afọ ya,

Yet truly, the skin and all the flesh, with the head and the feet, and the intestines and the dung,

12 ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼoke ehi ahụ, ka a ga-ebupu nʼazụ ebe obibi ụmụ Izrel, ebe dị ọcha, ebe a na-ekpofu ntụ. Ebe ahụ ka a ga-anọ kpọọ ya ọkụ, nʼọkụ a kwanyere nʼebe a na-ekpofu ntụ.

and the remainder of the body, he shall carry away, beyond the camp, to the clean place where the ashes are usually poured out. And he shall burn them upon a stack of wood. There, in the place where the ashes have been poured out, they will be burned.

13 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nzukọ Izrel niile emehie na-amaghị ama, mee ihe ọbụla megidere ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu nke a na-adịghị eme eme, ọ bụ ezie na ndị obodo amaghị okwu a, mgbe ha ghọtara ikpe ọmụma ha

But if all the crowd of Israel will have been ignorant, and through inexperience will have done what is contrary to the commandment of the Lord,

14 matakwa mmehie ha mehiere, nzukọ ahụ aghaghị iweta nwa oke ehi dịka aja mmehie, duru ya chee ya nʼihu ụlọ nzute.

and afterwards shall understand their sin: they shall offer a calf on behalf of their sin, and they shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle.

15 Ndị okenye nzukọ Izrel ga-ebikwasị aka ha nʼisi oke ehi ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. A ga-egbu ehi ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

And the elders of the people shall place their hands upon its head in the sight of the Lord. And when the calf has been immolated in the sight of the Lord,

16 Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja e tere mmanụ ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ya baa nʼụlọ nzute.

the priest who is anointed shall carry some of its blood into the tabernacle of the testimony.

17 Ọ ga-edenye mkpịsịaka ya nʼime ọbara ahụ fesa ya ugboro asaa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu akwa mgbochi ahụ.

and he shall dip his finger in it, sprinkling it seven times opposite the veil.

18 Ọ ga-ete ọbara ụfọdụ nʼelu mpi nke dị nʼebe ịchụ aja nke dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼụlọ nzute. Ọ ga-awụ ọbara nke fọdụrụ nʼụkwụ ala ala, nʼebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ, nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.

And he shall place some of the same blood on the horns of the altar, which is in the presence of the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. But the remainder of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

19 Ọ ga-ewepụta abụba niile dị ya nʼahụ kpọọ ha ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja.

And he shall take all its fat and burn it upon the altar,

20 Ọ ga-eme oke ehi ahụ ihe o mere oke ehi aja mmehie. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchi mmehie ndị Izrel. A ga-agbagharakwa ha.

doing so with this calf in the same manner as he did before. And while the priest is praying for them, the Lord will forgive them.

21 Emesịa, onye nchụaja ga-eburu ozu oke ehi ahụ gaa nʼazụ obodo kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼebe ahụ, dịka o mere oke ehi nke mbụ. Nke a bụ aja mmehie nʼihi nzukọ Izrel.

But the calf itself he shall carry away, beyond the camp, and he shall also burn it, just as with the previous calf, because it is for the sin of the multitude.

22 “‘Mgbe otu nʼime ndịisi obodo mehiere na-amaghị ama, si otu a megide ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyere nʼiwu banyere ihe a na-agaghị eme, mgbe ọ ghọtara ikpe ọmụma ya.

If a leader will have sinned, and through ignorance will have done one of the many things which the law of the Lord prohibits,

23 Ọ bụrụkwa na-eme ka ọ mata mmehie ya, ọ ghaghị iweta mkpi na-enweghị nkwarụ dịka onyinye nʼihi mmehie ya.

and afterwards he shall understand his sin: he shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the goats, as a sacrifice to the Lord.

24 Ọ ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼisi mkpi ahụ. Gbuo ya nʼebe a na-egbu anụ aja nsure ọkụ, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ aja mmehie.

And he shall place his hand upon its head. And when he will have immolated it, in the place where the holocaust is usually slain, in the sight of the Lord, because it is for sin,

25 Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ga-arụrụ ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara aja mmehie ahụ na mkpịsịaka ya tee ya nʼelu mpi ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ. Nke fọdụrụ ka ọ ga-awụpụ nʼụkwụ ala ala ebe ịchụ aja.

the priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the remainder at its base.

26 Ọ ga-akpọ abụba ya niile ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja dịka o si kpọọ abụba anụ e ji chụọ aja udo ọkụ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchiri onyeisi ahụ mmehie ya. A ga-agbaghara ya.

Yet truly, the fat he shall burn upon it, just as is usually done with the victims of peace offerings. And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.

27 “‘Ọ bụrụ na otu onye nʼetiti ndị obodo ahụ emehie na-amaghị ama, mee ihe megidere ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu nke a na-adịghị eme eme, mgbe ha ghọtara ikpe ọmụma ha,

But if a soul from the people of the land will have sinned through ignorance, so as to have done any of those things that the law of the Lord prohibits, and so commit a transgression,

28 ọ bụrụkwa na-amata mmehie ha mere, ha ga-eweta nne ewu na-enweghị ntụpọ dịka onyinye nʼihi mmehie ya.

and he shall realize his sin: he shall offer an immaculate she-goat.

29 Ọ ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼelu isi aja mmehie ahụ, e gbuo ya nʼebe a na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ.

And he shall place his hand upon the head of the victim which is for sin. And he shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust.

30 Onye nchụaja ga-ewere ụfọdụ ọbara ahụ na mkpịsịaka ya tee ya na mpi nke ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ, ọ ga-awụ ọbara fọdụrụ nʼụkwụ ala ala ebe ịchụ aja.

And the priest shall take some of the blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

31 Ọ ga-ewepụ abụba ya niile dịka a na-eme nʼaja udo. Onye nchụaja ga-akpọ ha ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, dịka ihe na-esi isi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja a ga-ekpuchikwara ha mmehie. A ga-agbagharakwa ha.

But taking away all the fat, just as it is usually taken away from the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar as a sweet odor to the Lord. And he shall pray for him, and he shall be released from it.

32 “‘Ma ọ bụrụ na mmadụ eweta otu atụrụ dịka onyinye nʼihi aja mmehie ya, ọ ghaghị ịbụ nne atụrụ na-enweghị ntụpọ.

But if instead he will offer from the flock a victim for his sin, specifically, an immaculate female sheep:

33 Ọ ga-eweta ya nʼebe a na-egbu anụ aja nsure ọkụ. Ọ ga-ebikwasị ya aka nʼisi, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ, ka ọ bụrụ aja mmehie ya.

he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are usually slain.

34 Onye nchụaja ga-ewere ụfọdụ ọbara anụ aja mmehie ahụ na mkpịsịaka ya, tee ya na mpi dị nʼebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ. Ọ ga-awụ ọbara fọdụrụ nʼụkwụ ala ala nke ebe ịchụ aja.

And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

35 Ha ga-ewepụ abụba ya niile, dịka a na-eme nʼatụrụ aja udo. Onye nchụaja ga-akpọ abụba ahụ ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja dịka onyinye nsure ọkụ a chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchikwara ha mmehie nʼihi iwu ha dara. A ga-agbaghara ha mmehie ha.

Likewise, all of the fat shall be taken away, just as the fat of the ram, which is immolated for peace offerings, is usually taken away. And he shall burn it upon the altar as an incense of the Lord. And he shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.
