Ebyabaleevi 17
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Tegeeza Alooni ne batabani be n’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna, obagambe nti, Kino Mukama ky’alagidde:
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the other Israeli people, and say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh has commanded:
3 Omuntu yenna Omuyisirayiri anaawangayo ekiweebwayo eky’ente, oba endiga ento, oba embuzi, munda mu lusiisira oba ebweru w’olusiisira,
If you sacrifice an ox or a lamb or a goat, you must bring it [to the priest] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to present/offer it to me there.
4 nga tagireese ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, okugiwaayo ng’ekirabo ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda mu kisasi ky’Eweema ya Mukama; omuntu oyo anaabanga azzizza omusango ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi; olwokubanga ayiye omusaayi, anaagobwanga n’agaanibwa okukolagananga ne banne.
If you slaughter it to be a sacrifice anywhere else in the camp or outside the camp, you will be guilty of killing an animal [in an unacceptable place]. As a result you will no longer be allowed to be/associate with my people.
5 Ekyo kiri bwe kityo abaana ba Isirayiri balyoke balekeraawo okuweerangayo ebiweebwayo byabwe ebweru mu nnimiro, naye babireetenga awali Mukama Katonda. Kibagwanira okubireetanga eri Mukama babikwasenga kabona ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne biryoka bittibwa nga bye biweebwayo eri Mukama olw’emirembe.
That rule is in order that you Israeli people, instead of offering sacrifices in the open fields, will offer them to me by taking them to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to be offerings to maintain fellowship [with me].
6 Kabona anaamansiranga omusaayi ku kyoto kya Mukama ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, amasavu n’agookya ne muvaamu akaloosa akalungi akasanyusa Mukama Katonda.
[After the animal is slaughtered], the priest must sprinkle some of its blood against the altar at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and burn its fat to be an aroma that is pleasing to me.
7 Tebasaana kwongera kuwangayo biweebwayo byabwe eri bakatonda be beekoledde mu kifaananyi ky’embuzi, be bakola nabyo eby’obwamalaaya. Eryo linaabanga tteeka lyabwe lya lubeerera n’okuyita mu mirembe egigenda okuddawo.
You people must no longer give sacrifices to the demons that resemble goats which you are worshiping. You people must obey this command forever.’
8 “Era bagambe nti, Buli muntu yenna Omuyisirayiri, oba omunnaggwanga yenna abeera mu bo, aliwaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, oba ekiweebwayo eky’engeri yonna,
“And tell this to the people: ‘If any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among them brings an offering that is to be completely burned [on the altar], or any other sacrifice,
9 nga takireese ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, okukiwaayo eri Mukama Katonda, omuntu oyo anaagobwanga n’agaanibwa okukolagananga ne banne.
and does not bring it to the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area] to be a sacrifice to me, that person will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
10 “Omuntu yenna Omuyisirayiri oba ow’omu bannamawanga ababeera mu Isirayiri bw’anaalyanga omusaayi ogw’engeri yonna, nnaamunyiigiranga oyo anaalyanga omusaayi, era nnaamugobanga ne mugaana okukolagananga ne banne.
‘I will reject [IDM] any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who eats any blood, and I [will command that he] no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
11 Kubanga obulamu bw’ekitonde buli mu musaayi, ate nkibawadde okubatangiririra ku kyoto; omusaayi gwe gutangiririra obulamu bw’omuntu.
That is because the life of every creature is in its blood; I have declared that it is blood that is to be offered on the altar to enable people to be forgiven for their sins.
12 Noolwekyo Abayisirayiri mbagamba nti tewabanga n’omu mu mmwe anaalyanga omusaayi, era ne munnaggwanga abeera mu mmwe naye taalyenga musaayi.
That is why I say that you Israelis must not eat blood, and the foreigners who live among you must also not eat blood.
13 “Omuyisirayiri yenna, oba omunnaggwanga abeera mu mmwe, bw’anaayigganga ensolo oba ennyonyi nga ya kulya, anaagikenenulangamu omusaayi n’agubikkako ettaka,
‘Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who hunts any animal or bird that is permitted for you to eat, must drain out the blood [of the animal or bird that he kills], and cover the blood with dirt.
14 kubanga obulamu bwa buli kitonde gwe musaayi gwakyo. Abayisirayiri kyenvudde mbagamba nti temulyanga musaayi gwa kitonde eky’engeri yonna, kubanga obulamu bwa buli kitonde gwe musaayi gwakyo, omuntu yenna anaagulyanga anaagobwanga n’agaanibwa okukolagana ne banne.
This is because the life of every creature is in its blood. And that is why I have said [DOU] to you Israelis that anyone who eats blood must no longer [be allowed to associate with my people].
15 “Omuntu yenna omuzaaliranwa oba omunnaggwanga anaalyanga ekintu kyonna ekinaabanga kisangiddwa nga kifu, oba nga kitaaguddwataaguddwa ensolo enkambwe, anaayozanga ebyambalo bye, n’anaaba mu mazzi, era anaabeeranga atali mulongoofu okutuusa akawungeezi; oluvannyuma anaabeeranga mulongoofu.
‘Anyone in Israel, including foreigners, who eats any of the meat of any creature that is found dead, or that had been killed by wild animals, must wash his clothes and bathe. Then he must not touch anyone until that evening.
16 Naye bw’ataayozenga byambalo bye, n’okunaaba n’atanaaba, ye anaabanga yeeretedde obutali bulongoofu bwe okumusigalako.”
If he does not do those things, he will be punished for what he did.’”
