Levitikọs 1

1 Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼụlọ nzute ahụ kpọ Mosis oku, gwa ya sị,

THE LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying:

2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel sị, ‘Mgbe onye ọbụla nʼime unu wetaara Onyenwe anyị onyinye, ka onyinye ọ ga-eweta bụrụ anụ ụlọ si nʼetiti igwe ehi maọbụ igwe ewu na atụrụ.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When any man of you bringeth an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd or of the flock.

3 “‘Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ onyinye aja nsure ọkụ e wetara site nʼigwe ehi, ọ bụ oke ehi nke na-enweghị ntụpọ ka ọ ga-eweta. Nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ka ọ ga-eweta ya, ka ọ bụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị ga-anabata.

If his offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish; he shall bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.

4 Onye ahụ wetara ya ga-ebikwasị aka ya nʼisi anụ aja nsure ọkụ ahụ, a ga-anabata ya maka iji kpuchie mmehie ya.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 Nwoke ahụ ga-egbu nwa oke ehi ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, bụ ndị nchụaja ga-ewere ọbara ya fesa ya nʼakụkụ niile nke ebe ịchụ aja, nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọ nzute ahụ.

And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and dash the blood round about against the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.

6 Ị ga-agba ehi aja nsure ọkụ ahụ akpụkpọ, bọkasịa ya ntakịrị ntakịrị.

And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.

7 Ụmụ Erọn, ndị nchụaja ga-etinye ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ, doo nkụ nʼusoro nʼelu ya.

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire.

8 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Erọn ndị nchụaja ga-atụkwasị akụkụ ehi ahụ niile, na isi ya, na abụba ya, nʼelu nkụ ahụ na-enwu ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ.

And Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, and the head, and the suet, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar;

9 Ma a ga-asacha ihe ndị dị nʼime afọ ya, na ụkwụ ya mmiri. Onye nchụaja ga-akpọ ha niile ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Ọ bụ onyinye aja nsure ọkụ, onyinye e nyere site nʼọkụ nke dị ezi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.

but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall make the whole smoke on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

10 “‘Ọ bụrụ na onyinye aja nsure ọkụ ahụ si nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ, ọ ga-abụrịrị mkpi maọbụ ebule na-enweghị nkwarụ.

And if his offering be of the flock, whether of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall offer it a male without blemish.

11 Onye wetara ya ga-egbu ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja chere ihu nʼugwu. Ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn, bụ ndị nchụaja, ga-efesa ọbara ya nʼakụkụ niile nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.

And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall dash its blood against the altar round about.

12 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, onye ahụ wetara ya, ga-abọ ya. Onye nchụaja ga-ewere akụkụ ya niile, na isi ya, na abụba ya tụkwasị ha nʼelu nkụ ahụ na-enwu ọkụ dị nʼebe ịchụ aja.

And he shall cut it into its pieces; and the priest shall lay them, with its head and its suet, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar.

13 Ma ihe ndị dị nʼime afọ ya, na ụkwụ ya, ka onye ahụ ga-asa mmiri, tupu onye nchụaja eweta ha niile kpọọ ha ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja. Ọ bụ onyinye aja nsure ọkụ, onyinye e nyere site nʼọkụ, nke isisi ya dị ezi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.

But the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and make it smoke upon the altar; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

14 “‘Ọ bụrụ na onyinye ọ na-enye Onyenwe anyị dịka aja nsure ọkụ bụ site nʼụmụ anụ ufe, ọ ghaghị ịbụ nduru, maọbụ nwa kpalakwukwu.

And if his offering to the LORD be a burnt-offering of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.

15 Onye nchụaja ga-ewebata anụ ufe ahụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, tụbipụ isi ya, wụsa ọbara ya nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja.

And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and pinch off its head, and make it smoke on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar.

16 Ọ ga-ewepụ akpa nri ya, na ihe dị ya nʼime, tụnye ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ; ebe a na-ekposa ntụ.

And he shall take away its crop with the feathers thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

17 Ọ ga-ejide nku ya abụọ nyawaa ha, ma ọ gaghị anyakapụcha ha. Mgbe ahụ, onye nchụaja ahụ ga-akpọ ya ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja. Ọ bụ aja nsure ọkụ, onyinye e nyere site nʼọkụ, nke isisi ya dị Onyenwe anyị ezi ụtọ.

And he shall rend it by the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall make it smoke upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
