Lewwota 16
1 Waaqayyos duʼa ilmaan Aroon kanneen yeroo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaatanitti duʼan sana lamaanii booddee Museetti dubbate.
After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
2 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Sababii ani teessoo araaraa gararraatti duumessaan mulʼadhuuf akka obboleessi kee Aroon yeruma fedhetti gara Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu kan golgaa keessa fuula teessoo araaraa dura taabota irra jiru sanaa ol hin seenne itti himi; yoo kanaa achii inni ni duʼa.
He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
3 “Akki Aroon itti Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa qulqulluu sana seenu kanaa dha: Aarsaa cubbuutiif dibicha tokko, aarsaa gubamuuf immoo korbeessa hoolaa tokko haa fidu.
“When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
4 Innis kittaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame qulqulluu isaatii fi uffata dhagna isaatti aanu kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame haa kaaʼatu. Sabbata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame hidhatee marata mataa kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetames haa maratu; kunneen uffata qulqulluu dha. Kanaafuu inni utuu uffata sana hin uffatin dhagna isaa bishaaniin haa dhiqatu.
Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
5 Waldaa saba Israaʼel irraas aarsaa cubbuutiif korommii reʼee lama, aarsaa gubamuuf immoo korbeessa hoolaa tokko haa fuudhu.
The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
6 “Aroon aarsaa cubbuu ofii isaatiif dibicha sana dhiʼeessee ofii isaatii fi warra mana isaa jiraniif araara haa buusu.
“Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
7 Ergasiis reʼoota lamaan sana fuudhee balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irratti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa dhiʼeessu.
Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
8 Aroonis reʼoota sana lamaanitti ixaa haa buusu; ixaa tokko Waaqayyoof, kaan immoo reʼee gad lakkifamuuf haa buusu.
He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
9 Aroonis reʼee ixaan Waaqayyoo irra buʼe sana fidee aarsaa cubbuu godhee haa dhiʼeessu.
Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
10 Garuu reʼeen akka reʼee gad lakkifamu taʼuuf ixaadhaan filatame sun akka reʼee gad lakkifamu tokkootti gammoojjiitti gad ariʼamuudhaan akka araara buusuuf utuu lubbuudhaan jiruu fuula Waaqayyo duratti haa dhiʼeeffamu.
Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
11 “Aroonis aarsaa cubbuu ofii isaatiif dibicha sana dhiʼeessee ofii isaatii fi warra mana isaa jiraniif araara haa buusu; dibicha sanas cubbuu ofii isaatiif haa qalu.
“Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
12 Innis girgiraa barbadaa ibiddaa iddoo aarsaa kan fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru irraa itti guutame tokko fuudhee ixaana urgaaʼaa daakamee bullaaʼes konyee lama fuudhee golgaa sana keessa haa seenu.
Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
13 Innis akka hin duuneef, akka aarri ixaana sanaa teessoo araaraa kan dhuga baʼumsaa gubbaa jiru sana haguuguuf ixaana sana ibidda fuula Waaqayyoo dura jirutti haa naqu.
There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
14 Dhiiga dibicha sanaa irraa fuudhee karaa fuulduraatiin teessoo araaraatti quba isaatiin haa facaasu; ergasii immoo dhiiga isaa fuudhee fuula teessoo araaraa duratti yeroo torba quba isaatiin haa facaasu.
Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
15 “Reʼee sanas aarsaa cubbuu sabaa godhee haa qalu; dhiiga isaas fuudhee golgaa keessa seenuudhaan akkuma dhiiga dibicha sanaa godhe sana haa godhu; dhiiga sanas teessoo araaraa irrattii fi fuula teessoo araaraa duratti haa facaasu.
[“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
16 Cubbuun isaanii waanuma fedhe taʼu illee inni sababii xuraaʼummaa fi fincila saba Israaʼeliif Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu sana haala kanaan araara haa buusu; dunkaana wal gaʼii kan xuraaʼummaa isaanii keessa isaan gidduu jiruufis akkasuma haa godhu.
By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
17 Yeroo Aroon Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu sana keessatti araara buusuuf ol seenee jalqabee hamma inni ofii isaatiif, warra mana isaa jiranii fi waldaa Israaʼel hundaaf araara buusee gad baʼutti namni tokko iyyuu dunkaana wal gaʼii keessatti hin argamin.
When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
18 “Ergasiis iddoo aarsaa kan fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru sanatti gad baʼee iddoo aarsaa sanaaf araara haa buusu. Innis dhiiga dibicha sanaa irraa fuudhee, dhiiga reʼee sanaa irraas fuudhee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa sanaa hunda irratti haa naqu.
“Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
19 Innis iddoo aarsaa sana xuraaʼummaa saba Israaʼel irraa qulqulleessee addaan baasuuf dhiiga sana irraa quba isaatiin yeroo torba iddoo aarsaa irratti haa facaasu.
Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
20 “Aroon erga Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu sana, dunkaana wal gaʼiitii fi iddoo aarsaatiif araara buusee raawwatee booddee reʼee lubbuudhaan jiru sana gara fuulduraatti haa dhiʼeessu.
“When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
21 Innis harka isaa lamaanuu mataa reʼee lubbuudhaan jiru sanaa irra kaaʼee achi irratti hamminaa fi fincila saba Israaʼel jechuunis cubbuu isaanii hunda hima. Yakka hundas mataa reʼee sanaa irra kaaʼee reʼee sana nama hojii kanaaf filatame tokkotti kennee gara gammoojjiitti haa ariʼu.
He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
22 Reʼeen sunis cubbuu isaanii hunda of irratti baatee gara lafa namni hin dhaqneetti geessa; namichis gammoojjii keessatti isa gad dhiisa.
[It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
23 “Ergasiis Aroon dunkaana wal gaʼii seenee uffata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kan utuu Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu sana hin seenin uffate sana baafatee achumatti haa dhiisu.
“When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
24 Innis lafa qulqulluu tokkotti dhagna isaa bishaaniin dhiqatee uffata isa haa uffatu; ergasii immoo gad baʼee ofii isaatii fi saba sanaaf araara buusuuf, ofii isaatiif aarsaa gubamu, saba sanaafis aarsaa gubamu haa dhiʼeessu.
Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
25 Cooma aarsaa cubbuu illee iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu.
He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
26 “Namichi reʼee sana akka reʼee gad lakkifamu tokkootti gad dhiisu sun wayyaa isaa miiccatee dhagna isaa bishaaniin haa dhiqatu; ergasii gara qubataatti ol galuu dandaʼa.
“The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
27 Dibichii fi reʼeen aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeeffaman kanneen dhiigni isaanii araara buusuuf Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluutti fidame sun qubata keessaa haa baafaman; gogaan isaanii, foonii fi miʼi garaa isaanii haa gubamu.
The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
28 Namichi wantoota kanneen gubus uffata isaa miiccatee dhagna isaa bishaaniin haa dhiqatu; ergasii gara qubataatti ol galuu dandaʼa.
The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
29 “Seerri bara baraan isiniif kenname kanaa dha: Dhalataa biyyaas taʼu alagaan isin gidduu jiraatu guyyaa kurnaffaa jiʼa torbaffaatti gad of haa qabu; hojii tokko iyyuus hin hojjetin.
“On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
30 Sababiin isaa isin qulqulleessuuf guyyaan kun guyyaa itti araarri buʼu dha; ergasiis isin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti cubbuu keessan hunda irraa ni qulqullooftu.
On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
31 Kun waan sanbata boqonnaa taʼeef isin gad of deebisuu qabdu; innis seera bara baraa ti.
That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
32 Lubni iddoo abbaa isaa buʼee luba ol aanaa taʼuuf dibamee muudamu araara buusuu qaba; innis wayyaa qulqulluu kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee,
In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
33 Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluuf, dunkaana wal gaʼiitiif, iddoo aarsaatiif, lubootaa fi miseensota waldaa hundaafis araara haa buusu.
and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
34 “Seerri bara baraan isiniif kenname kanaa dha: Kunis akka cubbuu Israaʼelootaa hundaaf waggaatti yeroo tokko araarri buufamuuf.” Wanni sunis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti hojjetame.
This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
