Levitikosy 17
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Saontsio amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo naho amo ana’ Israele iabio ty hoe: Hoe ty nandilia’ Iehovà:
“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 Ze ondaty boak’ añ’ anjomba’ Israele mandenta añombe ndra vik’ añondry ndra ose an-tobe ao, he te lentae’e alafe’ i tobey ey,
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 naho tsy nendese’e an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañe eo hañeng’aze am’ Iehovà, aolo’ i kivoho’ Iehovày le hanan-tahin-dio indaty nampiori-dioy vaho haitoañe am’ondati’eo,
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 soa te hasese’ o ana’ Israeleo o soroñe ho nisoroña’ iareo an-diolioo, mb’am’ Iehovà an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañe mb’eo, mb’ amy mpisoroñey, hisoroñe irezay ho engam-pañanintsiñe am’ Iehovà.
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 Le hafitse’ i mpisoroñey amy kitreli’ Iehovà an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañey i lioy, vaho hengae’e an-katoeñe i safo’ey ho hàñim-pañanintsiñe am’ Iehovà.
[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 Tsy hañenga soroñe amo kokolampao ka iereo, o nanoa’ iereo hakarapiloañeo. Ho fañè nainai’e am’ iareo amo hene tariratse mifandimbeo.
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 Tovoño ty hoe am’ iereo: Ze ondaty, ke boak’ añ’anjomba’ Israele ao, he renetane mimoneñe ama’ areo ao, misoroñe ndra mañenga,
“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 naho tsy endese’e mb’an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañe mb’eo, hañenga aze am’ Iehovà le ho sasàñe am’ondatio indatiy.
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 Le ze ondaty, ke boak’ añ’ anjomba’ Israele ao he hirik’ amo renetane mañialo am’iareoo, ty mikama lioñ-inoñ’ inoñe, le hiatreatre am’ indaty mikama lioy ty laharako vaho haitoako am’ondati’eo.
‘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 Toe lio ty havelo’ o nofotseo; ie ty natoroko anahareo amy kitreliy ho fijebañañe ty fiai’ areo; toe lio ro mañefetse ho an-kaveloñe.
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 Izay ty talim-panoako amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Leo ondaty raik’ ama’ areo tsy hikama lio, vaho tsy hikama lio ka ze renetane mañialo ama’ areo ao.
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 Aa ndra iaia t’indaty amo ana’ Israeleo, ke amo renetane mimoneñe ama’eo ze mitsindroke naho mitsepake biby ndra voroñe azo kamaeñe, le tsy mete tsy hampiorihe’e ty lio’e vaho lembefañe amo debokeo,
‘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 fa ie ty fiai’ ze kila nofotse, naho raik’ amy havelo’ey ty lio’e; izay ty nitaroñeko amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Tsy ho kamaeñe ty lio’ ze atao nofotse, fa ty lio ro fiai’ ze hene nofotse, fonga haitoañe ze mikama aze.
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 Le ze ondaty mikama ty mate boboke ndra ty nirimitem-biby, ke t’ie foko he renetane, ho sasà’e ty siki’e naho hiandro an-drano, le tsy halio ampara’ te hariva; izay vaho halio.
‘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 Fa naho tsy isasà’e ndra tsy manasa sandriñe le ho vavè’e ty tahi’e.
If he does not do those things, he will be punished for what he did.’”
