Lewwota 17

1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,

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

What man soever [there be] of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth [it] out of the camp,

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 bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall 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.

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them [for] peace offerings unto 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 shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto 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 they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout 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 thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,

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

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall 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 whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will 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 upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an 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 said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth 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 whatsoever man [there be] of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

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 [it is] the life of all flesh; the blood of it [is] for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh [is] the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall 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 every soul that eateth that which died [of itself], or that which was torn [with beasts, whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

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

But if he wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
