Levitikọs 4

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,

The Lord told Moses,

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

“Tell the Israelites that these are the rules to handle cases of those who sin unintentionally against any of the Lord's commandments and do what is not permitted.

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 it is the high priest who sins and brings guilt on everyone, he must present to the Lord a young bull without defects as a sin offering for his sin.

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.

He must take the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord, put his hand on its head and kill it before the Lord.

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

Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.

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

The high priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord in front of 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.

The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of aromatic incense that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. The rest of the bull's blood he is to pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

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

Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: all the fat that covers the insides,

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,

both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which he is to remove together with the 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.

in the same way as the fat is removed from the bull of the peace offering. Then the priest shall then burn this on the altar of burnt offering.

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,

But the skin of the bull, all its flesh, head, legs, insides and waste—

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.

all the rest of it—he has to take outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean, where the ashes are dumped, and he must burn it on a wood fire there on the ash heap.

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

If the whole Israelite community goes astray unintentionally, and even though they are unaware of doing what is not permitted by any of the Lord's commandments, they are all still guilty.

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

When they realize their sin, then they must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.

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

The elders of Israel are to put their hands on its head and kill it before the Lord.

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

Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.

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

He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of 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.

He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. Then he is to pour out the rest of the bull's blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

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

Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull and burn it on 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.

He shall offer this bull in the same way he did for the sin offering. This is how the priest will make them right, and they will be forgiven.

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.

Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the bull previously mentioned. It is the sin offering for the whole community.

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 sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.

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

When he realizes his sin, he must bring a male goat without defects as his offering.

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.

He must put his hand on the head of the goat and kill it at the place where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord. It is a sin offering.

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.

Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.

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.

He shall burn all its fat on the altar like the fat of the peace offerings. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.

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,

If any other Israelite sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.

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

When he realizes his sin, he must bring a female goat without defects as his offering for that sin.

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

He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it at the place at the place of the burnt offering.

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.

Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.

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.

He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.

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

If he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he is to bring a female without defects.

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 must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it as a sin offering at the place at the place where the burnt offering is killed.

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.

Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.

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.

He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
