Levitikosy 22
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy, ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Mitenena amin’ i Arona sy ny zanany mba hitandremany ny amin’ ny tsy hanakekeny ny zava-masìna izay hamasinin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho Ahy tsy hanamavoany ny anarako masìna: Izaho no Jehovah.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to greatly respect the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me; by doing that you will respect me [MTY], Yahweh.
3 Lazao aminy hoe: Izay rehetra maloto amin’ ny zanakareo, hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby, nefa manakaiky ny zava-masìna izay hamasinin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho an’ i Jehovah, dia hofongorana tsy ho eo anatrehako: Izaho no Jehovah.
“Tell them that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
4 Na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ i Arona no boka na marary mitsika dia tsy hihinana ny zava-masìna mandra-pahadiony. Ary izay rehetra mikasika izay maloto amim-paty, na izay lehilahy nialan’ ny azy,
“If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,
5 na izay mikasika biby mandady na mikisaka izay mahaloto, na lehilahy izay mahaloto, na inona na inona no fahalotoany,
or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.
6 ny olona izay mikasika izany dia haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro ka tsy hihinana amin’ ny zava-masìna, raha tsy mandro amin’ ny rano.
Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.
7 Ary rehefa milentika ny masoandro, dia hadio izy, ka vao izay no mahazo mihinana amin’ ny zava-masìna, satria fihinany izany.
After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.
8 Izay maty ho azy, na izay noviravirain-biby, dia tsy hohaniny, mba tsy hahaloto azy: Izaho no Jehovah.
He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh [am commanding those things].
9 Ary aoka hitandrina izay nasaiko tandremana izy, fandrao ho meloka noho izany izy ka ho fatin’ ny nanamavoany azy: Izaho Jehovah no manamasìna azy.
“The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of (despising/not obeying) them.
10 Ary aza avela hisy olon-kafa hihinana zava-masìna; na izay mivahiny ao amin’ ny mpisorona, na izay mpikarama, dia samy tsy mahazo mihinana zava-masìna.
“Anyone who is not a member of a priest’s family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.
11 Fa raha misy olona novidin’ ny mpisorona, dia hahazo mihinana amin’ izany ihany izy; ary ny ompikeliny hahazo mihinana amin’ ny fihinan’ ny mpisorona koa.
But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.
12 Ary raha misy zanakavavin’ ny mpisorona manambady olon-kafa, dia tsy hihinana amin’ ny fanatitra avy amin’ ny zava-masìna izy.
If a priest’s daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.
13 Fa raha misy zanakavavin’ ny mpisorona maty vady, na efa nisaorana, ka tsy manan-janaka, ary mody any an-tranon-drainy izy toy ny fony izy mbola kely, dia mahazo mihinana ny fihinan-drainy ihany izy; fa aoka tsy hisy olon-kafa hihinana izany.
But if a priest’s daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father’s house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.
14 Ary raha misy olona mihinana tsy nahy amin’ ny zava-masìna, dia honerany ny zava-masìna ka homeny ny mpisorona sady hampiany ho tonga avy fahenina:
“If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
15 Ary aoka tsy hisy hametaveta ny zava-masin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay ateriny ho an’ i Jehovah,
When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred
16 na hahatonga ota aman-keloka noho ny nihinanany ny zava-masiny; fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasìna azy.
by allowing those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”
17 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
18 Mitenena amin’ i Arona sy ny zanany ary ny zanak’ Isiraely rehetra hoe: Na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo amin’ ny Isiraely, no manatitra ny fanatiny ho fanatitra hanalany voady na ho fanati-tsitrapony, izay hateriny ho an’ i Jehovah ho fanatitra dorana,
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned [on the altar], either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,
19 dia lahy tsy misy kilema no hateriny, na omby izany, na zanak’ ondry, na osy, mba hankasitrahana anareo.
it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.
20 Izay rehetra misy kilema dia tsy haterinareo; fa tsy hankasitrahana anareo izany.
Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.
21 Ary raha misy manatitra fanati-pihavanana ho an’ i Jehovah, na ho fanatitra hanalany voady, na ho fanati-tsitrapo, na omby izany, na ondry, na osy, dia ny tsara izay tsy misy kilema na kely akory aza no hateriny mba hankasitrahana azy.
[Similarly], when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects [DOU] or blemishes.
22 Fa ny jamba na ny misy tapaka, na ny kilemaina, na ny ferena, na ny boka, na ny kongonina, dia izany no tsy haterinareo ho an’ i Jehovah, na hataonareo fanatitra amin’ ny afo eo ambonin’ ny alitara ho an’ i Jehovah.
Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore [DOU].
23 Na omby, na ondry, na osy, izay misy sampona, dia azonao haterina ho fanati-tsitrapo; fa raha atao fanatitra hanalam-boady, dia tsy hankasitrahana izy.
You may present to me to be a voluntary offering an ox or a sheep that is injured or stunted, but it will not be accepted to fulfill a promise made to me.
24 Izay voaporitra, na voatoro, na voaombotra, na voadidy ho afaka ny vihiny, dia tsy azonareo aterina ho an’ i Jehovah; ary aza manao izany eo amin’ ny taninareo.
You must not offer to me animals whose testicles are bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You must not injure the testicles of any animal in your land,
25 Ary raha misy entin’ olona hafa firenena aza izany zavatra izany, dia tsy azonareo haterina ho hanin’ Andriamanitrareo, satria efa simba izy ka misy kilema; tsy mba hankasitrahana anareo izany.
and you must not accept such animals that are sold/given to you by a foreigner. You must not offer them to me as a sacrifice for me. Such animals will not be accepted by me, because they are deformed or have defects.’”
26 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
27 Raha misy omby, na ondry, na osy, vao teraka, dia hitoetra amin-dreniny hafitoana izy; fa rehefa hatramin’ ny andro fahavalo no ho miakatra, dia hankasitrahana izy, raha atao fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho an’ i Jehovah.
“When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. After that, it will be acceptable as an offering to me that will be burned.
28 Ary ny ombivavy, na ny ondrivavy, na ny osivavy, dia tsy hovonoinareo indray andro izy sy ny zanany.
Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its baby on the same day.
29 Ary raha mamono zavatra hatao fanati-pisaorana ho an’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia amin’ izay hankasitrahana anareo no hamonoanareo azy.
“Then you sacrifice an animal to thank [me for what I have done], sacrifice it in a way that is acceptable to me.
30 Amin’ izany andro izany ihany no hihinanana azy, fa aza amelana ho tra-maraina: Izaho no Jehovah
The meat must be eaten on that day; do not leave any of it until the next morning. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
31 Ary tandremo ny didiko, ka araho izany: Izaho no Jehovah.
“Obey all my commands [DOU]. I, Yahweh, [am commanding them];
32 Ary aza manamavo ny anarako masìna; fa hohamasinina eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely Aho: Izaho Jehovah,
do not dishonor me [MTY] [by disobeying them]. You Israeli people must acknowledge that I, Yahweh, am holy, and I am the one who causes you to be holy.
33 Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta mba ho Andriamanitrareo, no manamasìna anareo; Izaho no Jehovah.
And I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order to show that that I, Yahweh, am [and will always be] your God.”
