Levitikosy 22
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Saontsio amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo ty hidare soa o enga avì’ o ana’ Israeleo tsy mone ho tivae’ iereo ty añarako masiñe amo raha avì’ iareo ho amakoo; Izaho Iehovà.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to be dedicated when dealing with the holy offerings that the Israelites have dedicated to me, so that they don't dishonor my holy character. I am the Lord.
3 Ano ty hoe am’ iereo: Naho amy ze hene tarira’areo mifandimbe ty mitotok’ ami’ty enga miavake navì’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovà ie mbe aman-kaleorañe, le haitoañe tsy hiatrek’ ahiko indatiy: Izaho Iehovà.
Tell them: These rules apply for all future generations. If any of your descendants in an unclean state comes close to the holy offerings that the Israelites dedicate to honor the Lord, that person must be expelled from my presence. I am the Lord.
4 Tsy hikama amo enga miavakeo ze tarira’ i Aharone voa’ ty angamae ndra miori-tsiranoke ampara’ t’ie malio. Ze mitsapa ndra iaia nileore’ ty lolo, ndra t’indaty iakaran-drom-pilahia,
If one of Aaron's descendants has a skin disease or a discharge, he is not allowed to eat the holy offerings until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body or by a man who has had a release of semen,
5 ndra ze ‘ndaty mitsapa raha mifamorohotse mete handeotse aze ndra ze ondaty mete handeotse aze, amy ze haleorañe ama’e,
or anyone who touches an unclean animal or an unclean person, (whatever the uncleanness is),
6 le haleotse ampara’ te hariva indaty nitsapa zaiy le tsy ho kamae’e o raha miavakeo naho tsy miandro aman-drano hey.
anyone who touches anything like this will remain unclean until evening. He is not allowed to eat from the holy offerings unless he has washed himself with water.
7 Ie tsofots’ àndro le halio re vaho azo’e kamaeñe o enga miavakeo, fa toe mahakama’e.
At sunset he will become clean, and then he is allowed to eat from the holy offerings because they provide his food.
8 Tsy ho kamae’e ty raha mate a montoñe añe ndra ty nirimitem-biby amy te maleotse: Izaho Iehovà.
He must not eat anything that's died, or killed by wild animals, because that would make him unclean. I am the Lord.
9 Aa le hambena’ iareo o nafantokoo tsy mone hivave hakeo vaho hikoromake kanao nitivañe: Izaho i Iehovà mpampiavak’ iareo.
The priests must do as I demand, so that they don't become guilty and die because they have not done so, treating my requirements with contempt. I am the Lord who makes them holy.
10 Tsy hikama amo miavakeo o borizàñeo; le sambe tsy hikama amo miavakeo ty mpifondro amy mpisoroñey, naho ty mpitoroñe tambezañe.
Anyone who isn't part of a priest's family is not allowed eat the holy offerings. This also applies to a priest's guest or his paid worker.
11 Fe mete mikama ao t’indaty vinili’ i mpisoroñey an-drala, vaho mahazo mikama amy mahakama’ey o nasamak’ añ’anjomba’eo.
However, if a priest uses his own money to buy a slave, or if a slave is born in the priest's household, then that slave is allowed to eat his food.
12 Naho tañanjomba’ t’indaty tsotra ty anak’ ampelam-pisoroñe le tsy hikama’e o navik’ amo raha miavakeoo.
If the priest's daughter gets married to a man who isn't a priest, she is not allowed to eat the holy offerings.
13 Fe naho ramavoiñe ndra narian-dahy i anak’ ampelam-pisoroñey naho tsy manañ’ anake vaho mimpoly añ’ anjomban-drae’e ao manahake t’ie nitora’e, le hikama amy mahakaman-drae’ey. Fe tsy ho kamae’ ty tsotra.
But if a priest's daughter without children is widowed or divorced and goes back to her father's house, she is allowed to eat her father's food as she did when she was growing up. But no one outside the priest's family can eat it.
14 Aa naho ikama’ t’indaty tsy satrie’e o enga miavakeo, le hitovoña’e ty ampaha-lime’e vaho hatolo’e amy mpisoroñey rekets’ i raha miavakey.
Anyone who eats a holy offering by mistake must pay compensation by adding a fifth to its value, and give it all to the priest.
15 Asoao tsy ho tivà’ iareo ze enga’ miava’ o ana’ Israeleo engae’ iareo am’ Iehovà
The priests must not make the holy offerings the Israelites present to the Lord unclean
16 tsy mone hivave hakeo hampañengañe engan-dilatse amy fikama’ iareo o raha miava’ iareoo: amy te Izaho Iehovà Mpampiavak’ iareo.
by allowing the people to eat them and in so doing take upon themselves the punishment for guilt. For I am the Lord who makes them holy.”
17 Le hoe ty nitsarae’Iehovà amy Mosè,
The Lord told Moses,
18 Saontsio amy Aharone naho amo ana’eo naho amy ze hene ana’ Israele ty hoe: Ze ondaty amy anjomba’ Israeley ndra amo renetane mpimoneñe e Israeleo minday ty hengae’e, ke amo nifantà’eo, he amo engan-tsatrin’ trokeo ty ho banabanae’ iereo am’ Iehovà hisoroñañe,
“Tell Aaron, his sons and all the Israelites: If you or foreigner living with you wants to make a gift as a burnt offering to the Lord, whether it's to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, this is what you are to do.
19 soa t’ie ho no’e, le lahi’e tsy aman-kandra, ke amo añombeo ke amo añondrio he amo oseo.
If it is to be accepted on your behalf you must offer a male without defects from the herds of cattle, sheep, or goats.
20 Le tsy hengae’ areo ndra inoñ’ inoñe aman-kandra; fa tsy ho no’e ho anahareo.
Don't present anything with a defect because it won't be accepted on your behalf.
21 Aa naho mañenga engam-pañanintsiñe am’Iehovà t’indaty, ke hibanabana ava-panta ke engan-tsatrie’e, he boak’ amo mpirai-trokeo ke amo mpirai-liao, le tsy ho aman-kandra t’ie ho no’e, vaho tsy ho aman-kila.
If you want to present a peace offering to the Lord from the herd or flock to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, in order to be acceptable the animal must be perfect, completely without defects.
22 Aa ke te goa, he folake, ke mikotraitse, he ampàre, ke mandramboñe, hera aman-kezam-bae—le tsy hengaeñe am’ Iehovà vaho tsy ho soroñañe am’ Iehovà amy kitreliy.
Don't present to the Lord an animal that is blind, injured, or damaged in some way, or has warts, skin sores, or scabs. Don't place any animal that has these on the altar as a food offering to the Lord.
23 Ke aman-kamba, he aman-tsihotse ty añombe ndra ty añondry le mete engaeñe ho engan-tsatrin’ arofo, fe tsy ho no’e t’ie am-panta.
However, you can present a freewill offering of a bull or sheep that has a leg that is too long or too short, but not if it is a sacrifice to fulfill a promise.
24 Tsy hengaeñe am’ Iehovà ka ze vondròkoke ndra demoke ndra riatse ndra linily; tsy hanoe’ areo an-tane’ areo ka izay.
Don't present to the Lord an animal with testicles that are accidentally or deliberately damaged. You are not allowed to sacrifice any of these damaged animals in your land.
25 Le ko apo’ areo t’ie ho banabanaem-pità’ o anan-drenetaneo ho mahakaman’ Añahare’ areo, kanao ama’e ty hìla’e, ndra ama’e ty handra’e, fa tsy ho no’e ho anahareo.
Nor are you allowed to accept such animals from a foreigner to be damaged and defective.”
26 Le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
The Lord told Moses,
27 Ie terake ty añombe ndra añondry ndra ose le ho fito andro amy rene’ey hey, ie mifototse amy andro fahavaloy ro mete engaeñe hisoroñañe am’ Iehovà.
“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must stay with its mother for seven days. After eight days it can be accepted as a food offering to the Lord.
28 Aa naho añombe vave ndra añondry vave, le ko songa lentaeñe ami’ty andro raike, ie naho ty ana’e.
However, don't kill a bull or a sheep and its young on the same day.
29 Ie misoroñe engam-pañandriañañe am’ Iehovà, mañengà ty ho no’e,
When you present a thank offering to the Lord, make sure to do so in a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.
30 le ikamao amy àndro zay, vaho tsy anisañe ho ami’ty maraiñe: Izaho Iehovà.
It has to be eaten on the same day. Don't leave any of it until morning. I am the Lord.
31 Asoao hambena’ areo o lilikoo, vaho anoeñe; Izaho Iehovà.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord.
32 Tsy ho tivae’ areo i añarako masiñey, fa havahe’ o ana’ Israeleo: Izaho Iehovà Mpampiavak’ anahareo,
Don't disgrace my holy character. I must be accepted as holy by you. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
33 nañakatse anahareo an-tane Mitsraimey, ho Andrianañahare’ areo: Izaho Iehovà.
I am the one who led you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord.”
