Levitikosy 17

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

The Lord told Moses,

2 Mitenena amin’ i Arona sy ny zanany ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra hoe: Izao no nandidian’ i Jehovah:

“Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites that this is what the Lord commands:

3 Na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely no mamono omby, na zanak’ ondry, na osy, na eo an-toby, na any ivelan’ ny toby,

Any Israelite who kills a bull, a lamb, or a goat, whether inside the camp or outside of it,

4 ka tsy mitondra azy ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, hanaterana azy ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah eo anoloan’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah, dia ho meloka noho ny rà nalatsany izany olona izany, ka hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy,

instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the Lord there, that person shall be held guilty of illegal killing. They have shed blood and must be expelled from their people.

5 mba ho entin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely ho an’ i Jehovah eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, ho amin’ ny mpisorona, ny zavatra vonoiny ho fanatitra, izay famonony tany an-tsaha; ary dia hateriny ho fanati-pihavanana ho an’ i Jehovah izany.

This is why the Israelites have to bring to the Lord the sacrifices they currently offer out in the fields. They must bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as peace offerings to the Lord.

6 Ary ny mpisorona hanopy ny rà amin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ka handoro ny saborany ho fofona ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah.

The priest will sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat to be accepted by the Lord.

7 Ary tsy hateriny intsony ny fanatiny ho an’ ny Seïrima izay nijangajangany. Ho lalàna mandrakizay hatramin’ ny taranany fara mandimby izany.

They must not continue to offer their sacrifices to the goat devils with whom they have acted like prostitutes. This is a regulation for all time and for all future generations.

8 Ary lazao aminy hoe: Na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminareo, no manatitra fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà,

Warn them that any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

9 ka tsy mitondra azy ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana hanatitra azy ho an’ i Jehovah, dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny.

without bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the Lord must be expelled from their people.

10 Ary na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminareo, no mihinan-drà, ny Tavako dia hanandrina ny olona izay mihinan-drà, ka hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy.

I will disown any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who eats any blood and I will expel them from their people.

11 Fa ny ain’ ny nofo dia amin’ ny rà; ary nomeko anareo izany hatao ambonin’ ny alitara hanao fanavotana ho an’ ny ainareo, fa ny rà no manao fanavotana, satria aina izany.

Life is in the body's blood. I have given it to you so that by putting it on the altar your lives can be made right, for it is the lifeblood that makes people's lives right.

12 Koa izany no nilazako tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Aza misy mihinan-drà, na ianareo, na ny vahiny eo aminareo.

That's why I'm warning the Israelites: None of you is allowed to eat blood, and no foreigner living among you is allowed to eat blood.

13 Na iza na iza amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminy, no mihaza ka mahazo biby na vorona izay fihinana, dia haidiny amin’ ny tany ny ràny ka hototofany;

Any Israelite or foreigner living among them who hunts and kills a wild animal or a bird which are allowed be eaten must drain the blood from its body and cover it with earth,

14 fa ny amin’ ny amin’ ny nofo rehetra, dia ny ràny no ainy; koa izany no nilazako tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Aza mihinana ny ran’ ny nofo; fa ny ràny no ain’ ny nofo rehetra, ka izay rehetra mihinana azy dia haringana.

for life is in the body's blood. That's why I have warned the Israelites: You are not allowed to eat the blood of anything living, for life is in the body's blood. Anyone who eats it must be expelled.

15 Ary ny olona rehetra, na tompon-tany, na vahiny, izay mihinana izay maty ho azy, na izay noviraviraim-biby, dia hanasa fitafiana sy handro amin’ ny rano, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro izy, vao hadio.

Anyone, Israelite or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or killed by wild animals must wash their clothes and wash with water, and they will be unclean until the evening. Then they will be clean.

16 Fa raha tsy manasa fitafiana sy mandro izy, dia ho meloka.

But if they don't wash their clothes and wash themselves with water, then they bear responsibility for their guilt.”
