Ọnụọgụgụ 15
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘mgbe unu batara ala ahụ m na-enye unu dịka ụlọ unu,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,
3 ọ bụrụ na unu echee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ nke isisi ya dị ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị, maọbụ nke si nʼigwe ehi, maọbụ nke si nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ, maọbụ aja nsure ọkụ, maọbụ aja ndị ọzọ, maka imezu nkwa pụrụ iche maọbụ onyinye afọ ofufu, maọbụ aja mmemme.
you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 Onye wetara onyinye a aghaghị iweta nʼihu Onyenwe anyị aja mkpụrụ ọka nke bụ ezi ụtụ ọka ruru lita abụọ nke e ji mmanụ ruru otu lita gwakọtaa.
When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.
5 Ọ ga-eweta otu lita mmanya dịka onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ maka nwa atụrụ ọbụla e ji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ maọbụ aja ụzọ.
When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.
6 “‘Ọ bụrụ nwa ebule ka e ji achụ aja ahụ, weta lita ezi ụtụ ọka anọ na ọkara, nke a gwakọtara ya na mmanụ jitụ ntakịrị karịa otu lita,
‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.
7 tinyekwa ya mmanya jitụ ihe nta karịa otu lita ka ọ bụrụ onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ nye ha, dịka aja nke isisi ya dị ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.
And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
8 “‘Mgbe i ji nwa oke ehi chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, maọbụ aja imezu nkwa, maọbụ aja udo nye Onyenwe anyị,
‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
9 tinyere oke ehi ahụ, ị ghaghị iji ezi ụtụ ọka ruru lita isii na ọkara, nke a gwakọtara ya na mmanụ ruru lita abụọ.
When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters of [olive] oil.
10 Wetakwa lita mmanya abụọ nke ga-abụ onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ. Ọ ga-abụ onyinye e sitere nʼọkụ nye, nke isisi ya dị ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.
Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
11 Nke a bụ usoro a ga-agbaso nʼoge ọbụla e ji nwa oke ehi, maọbụ nwa ebule, maọbụ nwa atụrụ, maọbụ nwa ewu chụọ aja.
Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.
12 Meenụ ya maka anụ ụlọ ọbụla nʼoge niile ọbụla unu na-achụ aja.
You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
13 “‘Onye ọbụla bụ nwa afọ ala aghaghị ime ihe ndị a mgbe ọbụla o wetara onyinye e sitere nʼọkụ nye dịka onyinye isisi ya dị ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.
‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.
14 Nʼọgbọ niile na-abịa, mgbe ọbụla onye ọbịa, maọbụ onye ọzọ bi nʼetiti unu wetara onyinye e sitere nʼọkụ nye, nke isisi ya dị ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị, ọ ghaghị ịgbaso ụzọ a nye onyinye ya.
If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.
15 Ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel ga-enwe otu iwu ga-adịrị unu na ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu. Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ ebighị ebi ga-adịrị ọgbọ niile na-abịa. Unu na ndị ọbịa ga-abụ otu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.
16 Otu iwu na otu ụkpụrụ bụ ihe ga-adịrị onye ọbụla, diala na ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu.’”
You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
17 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
18 “Gwa ndị Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘mgbe unu banyere nʼala ahụ m na-akpọbata unu nʼime ya,
“Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
19 ọ bụrụ na unu erie nri dị nʼala ahụ, wetanụ ụfọdụ nʼime nri ahụ dịka onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị.
and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.
20 Wetanụ ogbe achịcha site nʼọka mbụ unu ga-akwọ, chee ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka onyinye e wetara site nʼebe ịzọcha ọka.
[Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.
21 Unu aghaghị inye Onyenwe anyị onyinye a sitere nʼọka mbụ ọbụla unu kwọrọ, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”
22 “‘Ọ bụrụ na unu amaghị ama ghara idebe iwu ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị nyere site nʼaka Mosis,
“‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.
23 bụ iwu ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị nyere unu site nʼaka Mosis, site nʼụbọchị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ha ruo nʼọgbọ niile nke na-abịa.
There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.
24 Ọ bụrụ na e mere ya na-amaghị ama, ọ bụrụ na ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel amaghị ama mee ya, mgbe ahụ, ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel ga-eji nwa oke ehi chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, aja na-esi isi ụtọ nke Onyenwe anyị na-anabata. Aghaghị iwetakwa mkpụrụ ọka, na onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ nke ya na aja ahụ so, tinyere otu mkpi maka aja mmehie.
If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.
25 Onye nchụaja ga-ekpuchitere nzukọ Izrel niile mmehie ha. A ga-agbagharakwa ha mmehie ha niile, nʼihi na ọ bụ mmehie ha mere na-amaghị ama. Ha e cheela nʼihu Onyenwe anyị aja onyinye nri nʼihi amaghị ama ha ya na aja mmehie.
[By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.
26 A ga-agbaghara nzukọ Izrel niile na ndị ọbịa nọ nʼetiti ha mmehie ha, nʼihi na mmadụ ndị a niile akpachaghị anya mehie.
You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
27 “‘Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ naanị otu onye mehiere na-amaghị ama, ọ ga-eweta nwa nne ewu gbara otu afọ maka aja mmehie.
If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.
28 Onye nchụaja a ga-eji ya chụọ aja ikpuchitere onye ahụ na-amaghị ama mehie mmehie ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Mgbe ekpuchichara mmehie ya, a ga-agbaghara onye ahụ.
The priest will offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person will be forgiven.
29 Ọ bụ otu iwu a dịrị onye ọbụla mehiere na-amaghị ama, maọbụ nwa afọ Izrel, maọbụ onye ọbịa nke bi nʼetiti unu.
You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
30 “‘Ma onye ọbụla kpachapụrụ anya mehie, maọbụ nwa afọ maọbụ onye ọbịa, nke na-ekwulu Onyenwe anyị, a ga-ebipụ onye dị otu a site nʼetiti ndị Izrel.
But those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.
31 Nʼihi na ha eledala okwu Onyenwe anyị anya, mebie ihe o nyere nʼiwu. A ghaghị ibipụ onye dị otu a, mmehie ha ga-adịkwa ha nʼisi.’”
They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”
32 Mgbe ụmụ Izrel nọ nʼọzara, e jidere otu onye nʼime ha ka ọ na-akpa nkụ nʼụbọchị izuike.
One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.
33 Ndị hụrụ ya ebe ọ na-akpa nkụ duuru ya jekwuru Mosis na Erọn na ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel.
Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
34 Ha tinyere ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi na o doghị anya ihe e kwesiri ime ya.
They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.
35 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Nwoke a ghaghị ịnwụ. Ọgbakọ Izrel niile ga-atụ ya nkume nʼazụ obodo.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at him outside the camp.”
36 Ya mere, ọgbakọ ahụ kpọpụrụ ya nʼazụ obodo jiri nkume tugbuo ya, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.
37 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
38 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Nʼọgbọ niile na-abịa unu ga-adụnye eriri akwa nʼọnụ ala ala uwe unu. Unu ga-eji eriri na-acha anụnụ anụnụ dụnye ya.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.
39 Eriri akwa ndị a dị nʼọnụ ọnụ uwe unu ga-eme ka unu cheta iwu niile Onyenwe anyị nyere unu. Ka unu rube isi na ha hapụ imerụ onwe unu site na ịgbaso ihe ọjọọ niile na-agụ obi unu na anya unu.
When you look at the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.
40 Mgbe ahụ unu ga-echeta irube isi nʼiwu m niile, bụrụ ndị e doro nsọ nye Chineke unu.
Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).
41 Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu ịbụ Chineke unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.’”
Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
