Levitikọs 8
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Kpọta Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, chịtakwa uwe ha, weta mmanụ nsọ, oke ehi nke aja mmehie na ebule abụọ ahụ, na nkata achịcha a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee.
“Bring Aaron and his sons, and bring their (special clothes/clothes [that they will wear while they do the work of priests)], the oil for anointing them, the bull to be offered to cause them to become forgiven for the sins they have committed, the two rams [to be slaughtered], and the basket containing bread made without yeast.
3 Kpọkọtaa ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile ka ha bịa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute.”
Then gather all the people at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.”
4 Mosis mere ihe Onyenwe anyị gwara ya ka o mee. Ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel zukọtara nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do, and all the people gathered there.
5 Mosis gwara ọgbakọ ahụ sị, “Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu ka e mee.”
Then Moses/I said to the people, “This is what Yahweh has commanded us to do.”
6 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis kpọpụtara Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nʼihu, jiri mmiri saa ha ahụ.
Then he/I brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them.
7 O yikwasịrị Erọn uwe ime ahụ, kee ya ihe okike a na-eke nʼukwu, yikwasịkwa ya uwe mwụda na efọọd ahụ, jiri ihe okike ahụ a chọrọ mma kegidesie efọọd ahụ ike nʼahụ ya.
He/I put the special tunic/shirt on Aaron, tied the sash/waistband around him, put on him the special robe, and put on him the sacred vest/apron. He/I fastened the sacred vest/apron around him, using the skillfully woven sash.
8 O tụkwasịrị ya ihe igbochi obi ahụ nʼahụ, tinye Urim na Tumim nʼime ihe igbochi obi ahụ.
He/I put the sacred pouch on his chest and put into it the two stones for him to use to find out what God wants.
9 Ọ tụhịkwara akwa ike nʼisi ahụ nʼisi Erọn, tinye nʼihu akwa ike nʼisi ahụ, okpu nsọ e ji ọlaedo kpụọ, nke bụ akara ido nsọ, dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye Mosis nʼiwu.
Then he/I wrapped the turban around Aaron’s head, and fastened on the front of it the gold ornament, the object that showed that he was dedicated to God, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
10 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis weere mmanụ nsọ ahụ tee nʼụlọ nzute ahụ, na nʼihe niile dị nʼime ya, ido ha nsọ.
Then Moses/I took the olive oil and anointed the sacred tent and everything in it, and dedicated them [to Yahweh].
11 Ọ fesakwara ụfọdụ nʼime mmanụ ahụ ugboro asaa nʼebe ịchụ aja, fesakwa ya ugboro asaa nʼelu ngwongwo niile dị nʼebe ịchụ aja, na nʼefere e ji asa ihe, na ụkwụ ya, ido ha nsọ.
He/I sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times. He/I anointed the altar and all the things used with it, and its huge washbasin and its stand, to dedicate them to Yahweh.
12 Ọ wụsara Erọn ụfọdụ mmanụ nsọ ahụ nʼisi, tee ya mmanụ, nʼihi ido ya nsọ.
He/I poured some of the oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to dedicate him to Yahweh.
13 Ọ kpọtara ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn nso, o yikwasịrị ha uwe ime ahụ, kee ha ihe okike nke ukwu, kekwasị ha ihe okike nʼisi, dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.
Then he/I brought forward Aaron’s sons. He/I put tunics/shirts on them, tied sashes/waistbands around them, and wrapped turbans around their heads, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
14 Ọ kpụtara oke ehi e ji achụ aja mmehie, mee ka Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom bikwasị aka ha nʼelu isi ya.
Then he/I brought the bull for the offering to cause people to be forgiven for the sins that have committed. Then Aaron and his sons put their hands on the bull’s head.
15 Mosis gburu oke ehi ahụ, were ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ahụ, jiri mkpịsịaka ya rụta ọbara tee na mpi niile dị nʼebe ịchụ aja, ido ebe ịchụ aja ahụ nsọ. Ọ wụpụrụ ọbara nke fọdụrụ nʼụkwụ ala ala nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Otu a ka o si doo ya nsọ, ikpuchiri ya mmehie.
Then Moses/I slaughtered the bull, [caught some of its blood in a bowl], and with his/my finger put some of that blood on the projections at the corners of the altar, to purify the altar. He/I poured the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. By doing that, he/I caused it to be a suitable place for burning sacrifices for sin.
16 Mosis wekwara abụba niile dị gburugburu ihe dị nʼime afọ ehi ahụ, mba-umeju nke umeju ya, akụrụ abụọ ya na abụba dị nʼelu ha, kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja.
Moses/I took all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, including the liver and kidneys, and burned them on the altar.
17 Ma oke ehi ahụ, akpụkpọ ya, anụ ya na mgbịrị afọ ya, ka ọ kpọrọ ọkụ nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
He/I took the rest of the bull, including the hide and intestines, and burned them outside the camp, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
18 O weere ebule ahụ, chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, dịka aja nsure ọkụ. Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom bikwasịrị aka ha nʼelu isi ya.
Then he/I brought the ram for the offering that would be completely burned [on the altar], and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
19 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gburu ebule ahụ, fesa ọbara ya nʼakụkụ niile nke ebe ịchụ aja.
Then Moses/I slaughtered the ram and sprinkled its blood on all sides of the altar.
20 Ọ bọwasịrị ebule ahụ ntakịrị ntakịrị, kpọọ isi ya, iberibe anụ ya na abụba ya ọkụ.
He/I cut the ram into pieces and washed the inner parts and hind legs. Then he/I put the head, the fat, and the other parts of the ram on the altar. As it burned, the aroma of the smoke was pleasing to Yahweh. It was an offering to Yahweh that was burned, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
21 Ọ sachara ihe dị nʼime afọ ya na ụkwụ ya niile mmiri, kpọọ ebule ahụ niile ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja. Nʼihi na ọ bụ aja nsure ọkụ nke isisi ya dị Onyenwe anyị ezi mma, nʼihi na ọ bụ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
22 O kpụpụtara ebule nke ọzọ, bụ ebule nke ido nsọ, Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom bikwasịrị aka ha nʼelu isi ya.
Then he/I brought the other ram, the one for consecrating the priests, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
23 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gburu ya, were ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ya tee Erọn nʼọnụ ntị aka nri, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ya, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ya.
Moses/I slaughtered that ram, [drained some of its blood in a bowl], and put some of that blood on the lobes of the right ears, the thumbs of the right hands, and the big toes of the right feet of Aaron and his sons [to indicate that what they listened to and what they did and where they went should be directed by Yahweh].
24 Mosis kpọtara ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn nso, weere ụfọdụ ọbara ahụ tee nʼọnụ ntị aka nri ha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ aka nke aka nri ha, na nʼisi mkpụrụ ụkwụ nke aka nri ha. O fesakwara ọbara nʼakụkụ niile nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
25 O weere abụba ya, akụkụ ọdụdụ ya nwere abụba, na abụba niile nke kpuchiri ihe dị nʼime afọ ya, na mba-umeju nke dị nʼumeju ya, akụrụ ya abụọ na abụba ha, na apata aka nri ya
He/I picked up all the fat of the ram, its fat tail, the fat that covered the inner parts, including the fat that covered the liver and kidneys, and the right thigh of the ram.
26 O sitere na nkata achịcha ahụ a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee, nke dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, wepụta otu ogbe achịcha, na otu ogbe achịcha a gwakọtara mmanụ oliv, na otu mbadamba ogbe achịcha, tụkwasị ha nʼelu abụba ndị ahụ, na nʼelu apata aka nri ahụ.
Then from the basket containing the bread that was made without yeast, the bread which had been dedicated to Yahweh, he/I picked up one loaf of bread [made without olive oil], and one loaf that was [made by mixing the flour] with olive oil, and one wafer. He/I put those on top of the portions of fat, and put them into the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then they lifted them up in the presence of Yahweh [to indicate that it was an offering that belonged to him].
27 O tinyere ihe ndị a niile nʼaka Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ha fufere ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka aja mfufe.
28 Mosis naara ya site nʼaka ha, kpọọ ha ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja, ya na aja nsure ọkụ, ka ọ bụrụ aja ido nsọ nke isisi ya dị ezi mma, onyinye nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
Then Moses/I took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar. That was the offering that was burned to appoint Aaron and his sons as priests. And the aroma while it burned was pleasing to Yahweh.
29 Mosis werekwara obi ebule ido nsọ ahụ, fufee ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, dịka aja mfufe, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu. Nke a bụ oke Mosis.
Moses/I also took the breast of the second ram and lifted it up, as Yahweh had commanded. The breast was Moses’/my share of the ram that was sacrificed to dedicate the priests.
30 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis weere ụfọdụ nʼime mmanụ nsọ ahụ, na ụfọdụ nʼime ọbara ahụ dị nʼebe ịchụ aja fesa ya Erọn na uwe ya, fesakwa ya ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn nʼuwe ha. Otu a ka o si doo Erọn na uwe ya, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na uwe ha nsọ.
Then Moses/I took some of the olive oil for anointing [Aaron and his sons], and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his sons and on their clothes. By doing that, he/I consecrated Aaron and his sons and their clothes.
31 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gwara Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom sị, “Sienụ anụ ahụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute. Nọrọkwanụ nʼebe ahụ rie ya na achịcha ahụ dị nʼime nkata onyinye ido nsọ, dịka a gwara m, sị, ‘Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ga-eri ya.’
Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat [of the second ram] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket, like I told you to do.
32 Ihe ọbụla fọdụrụ na anụ ahụ na achịcha ahụ, ka unu ga-akpọ ọkụ.”
Burn up any of the meat and bread that remains.
33 Ọ sịrị ha: “Unu esikwala nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute a pụọ ruo ụbọchị asaa, tutu ruo mgbe ụbọchị ido nsọ unu zuruoke, nʼihi na ido nsọ unu ga-anọ ụbọchị asaa.
The time for you to be set apart as priests will be seven days, so do not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days.
34 Ihe niile e mere nʼụbọchị taa bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu, banyere ịchụ aja maka mkpuchi mmehie unu.”
What we have done today is what Yahweh commanded to cause that you will be forgiven for your sins.
35 Unu aghaghị ịnọgide nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ehihie na abalị ụbọchị asaa, mezuokwa ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu, ka unu ghara ịnwụ. Nʼihi na nke a bụ iwu e nyere m.
You must stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days and seven nights and do what Yahweh requires, in order that you will not die [because of disobeying him. I am telling you that] because that is what Yahweh has commanded me to tell you.”
36 Ya mere, Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom mezuru ihe niile dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye nʼiwu site nʼọnụ Mosis.
So Aaron and his sons did everything that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell them.
