Levitikọs 1

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

The LORD called to Moses, and spoke to 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 to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from 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 is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at 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.

He shall lay his hand on 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 bull before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on 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 skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

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

The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on 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, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on 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 entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to 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.

"'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer 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.

He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

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.

He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on 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 entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to 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.

"'If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, 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.

The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood 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 its filth, 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.

He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
