Lewwota 17

1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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

Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying,

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

Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling among you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall kill 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 shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice it for a whole burnt offering or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for a sweet smelling savor: and whoever shall kill it without, and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from 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.

That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they shall kill in the fields, and bring them to the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering 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 shall pour the blood on the altar round about before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the fat for a sweet smelling savor 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 they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain [gods] after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your 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 you shall say to them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes dwelling among you, shall offer a whole burnt offering or a sacrifice,

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

and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed 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 whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling among you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its 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 flesh is its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood shall make 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 to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides among you shall not 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 whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling among you shall take any animal in hunting, beast, or bird, which is eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and cover it in the 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 the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood: every one that eats it shall be destroyed.

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 which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken of beasts, either among the natives or among the strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.

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

But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.
