Lewwota 17

1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 “Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti, saba Israaʼel hundattis akkana jedhii himi; ‘Wanni Waaqayyo ajaje kunoo kana:

Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.

3 Saba Israaʼel keessaa namni kam iyyuu yoo qubata keessatti yookaan qubataan alatti sangaa yookaan hoolaa yookaan reʼee qalee

If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle;

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.

And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will 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.

So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings 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.

And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell 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.’

And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.

8 “Akkanas isaaniin jedhi; ‘Saba Israaʼel keessaa namni kam iyyuu yookaan alagaan isaan gidduu jiraatu kam iyyuu yoo aarsaa gubamu yookaan qalma dhiʼeessee

And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering,

9 balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf fiduu baate namichi sun saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.

And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among 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.

And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut 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 its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

12 Kanaafuu ani Israaʼelootaan, “Isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu dhiiga hin nyaatin yookaan alagaan gidduu keessan jiraatu dhiiga hin nyaatin” nan jedha.

For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.

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 any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.

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 blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

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 anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

16 Yoo uffata isaa miiccachuu fi dhagna isaa dhiqachuu baate garuu inni cubbuu sanatti ni gaafatama.’”

But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.
