Levitikosy 17
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Mitenena amin’ i Arona sy ny zanany ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra hoe: Izao no nandidian’ i Jehovah:
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Tell them what Yahweh has commanded:
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 man from Israel who kills an ox, lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, in order to sacrifice 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,
if he does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a sacrifice to Yahweh before his tabernacle, that man is guilty of bloodshed. He has shed blood, and that man must be cut off from among his 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.
The purpose of this command is so that the people of Israel will bring their sacrifices to Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting, to the priest to be sacrificed as fellowship offerings to Yahweh, instead of offering sacrifices in an open field.
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 Yahweh's altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting; he will burn the fat for it to produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh.
7 Ary tsy hateriny intsony ny fanatiny ho an’ ny Seïrima izay nijangajangany. Ho lalàna mandrakizay hatramin’ ny taranany fara mandimby izany.
The people must no longer offer their sacrifices to goat idols, for which they act as prostitutes. This will be a permanent statute for them throughout their people's 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,
You must say to them, 'Any man of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them, who offers a burnt offering or 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.
and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting in order to sacrifice it to Yahweh, that man must be cut off from his 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.
If any person of the house of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them consumes any blood, I will set my face against that person who consumes blood and I will cut him off from among his 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.
For the life of an animal is in its blood. I have given its blood to you to make atonement on the altar for your lives, because it is the blood that makes atonement, for it is the blood that atones for the life.
12 Koa izany no nilazako tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Aza misy mihinan-drà, na ianareo, na ny vahiny eo aminareo.
Therefore I said to the people of Israel that no one among you must eat blood, neither may any foreigner who lives among you 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;
Anyone of the people of Israel, or any of the foreigners who live among them, who hunts and kills an animal or bird that may be eaten, that person must pour out its blood and cover the blood 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 the life of each creature is its blood. That is why I said to the people of Israel, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every living creature is its blood. Whoever eats it must be cut off.”
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.
Every person who eats an animal that has died or that has been torn by wild animals, whether that person is native born or a foreigner living among you, he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until the evening. Then he will be clean.
16 Fa raha tsy manasa fitafiana sy mandro izy, dia ho meloka.
But if he does not wash his clothes or bathe his body, then he must carry his guilt.'”
