Lewwota 17
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti, saba Israaʼel hundattis akkana jedhii himi; ‘Wanni Waaqayyo ajaje kunoo kana:
“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:
3 Saba Israaʼel keessaa namni kam iyyuu yoo qubata keessatti yookaan qubataan alatti sangaa yookaan hoolaa yookaan reʼee qalee
‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it
4 dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa godhee Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessuuf balbala dunkaana wal gaʼiitti fiduu baate namichi sun dhiiga dhangalaase sanatti ni gaafatama; inni dhiiga dhangalaaseeraatii saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.
instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.
5 Kunis akka Israaʼeloonni aarsaawwan amma alatti dhiʼeessaa jiran kana Waaqayyoof fidaniif. Isaanis aarsaawwan kanneen aarsaa nagaa godhanii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessuuf balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irratti lubatti haa fidan.
For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace to the LORD.
6 Lubichis dhiiga sana iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irra jiru sanatti haa facaasu; cooma isaas urgaa Waaqayyotti tolu godhee haa gubu.
The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
7 Isaanis siʼachi waaqota tolfamoo bifa reʼee kanneen duukaa buʼanii sagaagalaa turan sanaaf aarsaa isaanii tokko illee dhiʼeessuu hin qaban; kunis isaaniif dhaloota dhufuuf seera bara baraa taʼa.’
They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
8 “Akkanas isaaniin jedhi; ‘Saba Israaʼel keessaa namni kam iyyuu yookaan alagaan isaan gidduu jiraatu kam iyyuu yoo aarsaa gubamu yookaan qalma dhiʼeessee
Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
9 balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf fiduu baate namichi sun saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.
but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
10 “‘Saba Israaʼel keessaa namni kam iyyuu yookaan alagaan gidduu isaanii jiraatu kam iyyuu dhiiga yoo nyaate, ani nama dhiiga nyaate sana fuula ittin hammaa dha; saba isaa keessaas isa nan balleessa.
If anyone from the house of Israel or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.
11 Sababii jireenyi waan lubbuu qabu tokkoo dhiiga keessa jiruuf ani ittiin araara lubbuu keessaniif buusuudhaaf dhiiga sana iddoo aarsaa irratti isinii kenneera; wanni jireenya namaatiif araara buusus dhiiga.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
12 Kanaafuu ani Israaʼelootaan, “Isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu dhiiga hin nyaatin yookaan alagaan gidduu keessan jiraatu dhiiga hin nyaatin” nan jedha.
Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’
13 “‘Saba Israaʼel keessaa namni kam iyyuu yookaan alagaan gidduu keessan jiraatu kan bineensa yookaan simbira nyaatamu adamsu kam iyyuu dhiiga waan sanaa dhangalaasee biyyoo itti haa deebisu;
And if any Israelite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.
14 jireenyi waan lubbuu qabu tokkoo dhiiga isaa ti. Sababiin ani Israaʼelootaan, “Waan jireenyi waan lubbuu qabu hundaa dhiiga isaa taʼeef isin dhiiga waan lubbuu qabu tokko illee hin nyaatinaa; namni dhiiga nyaatu kam iyyuu saba keessaa haa balleeffamuu” jedheefis kanuma.
For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’
15 “‘Namni kam iyyuu dhalataa biyyaas taʼu alagaan waan duʼee argame yookaan bineensi ciccire nyaatu uffata isaa haa miiccatu; dhagna isaas bishaaniin haa dhiqatu; inni hamma galgalaatti akka seeraatti xuraaʼaa dha; ergasii ni qulqullaaʼa.
And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.
16 Yoo uffata isaa miiccachuu fi dhagna isaa dhiqachuu baate garuu inni cubbuu sanatti ni gaafatama.’”
But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”
