Lewwota 22
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Akka isaan maqaa koo qulqullicha hin xureessineef, akka isaan aarsaa qulqulluu Israaʼeloonni addaan baasanii naa fidan sana akka gaariitti eeganiif Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti himi. Ani Waaqayyo.
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, tell them to keep away from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they set apart to me. They must not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
3 “Akkanas Isaaniin jedhi: ‘Dhaloota dhufu keessa yoo sanyii kee keessaa namni tokko illee utuu akka seeraatti hin qulqullaaʼin aarsaa Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyoof addaan baasanitti dhiʼaate namni sun fuula koo duraa haa balleeffamu. Ani Waaqayyo.
Say to them, 'If any of your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel have set apart to Yahweh, while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from before me: I am Yahweh.
4 “‘Sanyii Aroon keessaa namni tokko yoo lamxii yookaan dhangalaʼaa saala isaa keessaa baʼu qabaate inni hamma qulqullaaʼutti aarsaa qulqulluu sana hin nyaatin. Akkasumas yoo waan reeffaan xuraaʼe yookaan nama afeetaa saala isaa keessaa dangalaʼu tuqe,
None of the descendants of Aaron who has an infectious skin disease, or an infection flowing from his body, may eat any of the sacrifices made to Yahweh until he is clean. Whoever touches anything unclean through contact with the dead, or by contact with a man who has a flow of semen,
5 yookaan yoo waan lafa irra looʼu kan isa xureessu yookaan nama isa xureessu kam iyyuu tuqe, xuraaʼummaa kam iyyuu taanaan,
or whoever touches any creeping animal that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever kind of uncleanness it may be—
6 namni waan akkasii kam iyyuu tuqu hamma galgalaatti xuraaʼaa taʼa. Inni yoo dhagna isaa bishaaniin dhiqate malee aarsaa qulqulluu sana keessaa tokko illee hin nyaatin.
then the priest who touches anything unclean will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy things, unless he has bathed his body in water.
7 Inni yeroo aduun lixxutti ni qulqullaaʼa; ergasii immoo sababii wanni sun nyaata isaa taʼeef aarsaa qulqulluu sana nyaachuu dandaʼa.
When the sun has set, he will then be clean. After sunset he may eat from the holy things, because they are his food.
8 Inni waan duʼee argame yookaan waan bineensi ciccire nyaachuudhaan of hin xurreessin. Ani Waaqayyo.
He must not eat anything found dead or killed by wild animals, by which he would defile himself. I am Yahweh.
9 “‘Luboonni akka ajaja koo tuffachuudhaan cubbuu hojjetanii hin duuneef ajaja koo haa eegan. Ani Waaqayyo isaan qulqulleessuu dha.
The priests must follow my instructions, or they will be guilty of sin and could die for profaning me. I am Yahweh who makes them holy.
10 “‘Namni maatii lubaa hin taʼin yookaan keessummaan lubaa yookaan namni lubichaaf qaxaramee hojjetu tokko illee aarsaa qulqulluu sana nyaachuu hin dandaʼu.
No one outside the priest's family, including guests of a priest or his hired servants, may eat anything that is holy.
11 Garuu yoo lubni maallaqaan garbicha bitate, yookaan yoo garbichi mana isaatti dhalate, garbichi sun nyaata lubichaa nyaachuu dandaʼu.
But if a priest buys any slave with his own money, that slave may eat from the things set apart to Yahweh. The priest's family members and slaves born in his house, they also may eat with him from those things.
12 Intalli lubaa yoo nama luba hin taʼinitti heerumte, isheen aarsaa qulqulluu sana irraa nyaachuu hin dandeessu.
If a priest's daughter married someone who is not a priest, she may not eat any of the holy contribution offerings.
13 Taʼus intalli lubaa yoo haadha hiyyeessaa taate yookaan dhirsaan wal hiiktee utuu ijoollee hin qabaatin akkuma yeroo ijoollummaa isheetti mana abbaa ishee jiraachuuf deebite, isheen nyaata abbaa ishee irraa nyaachuu ni dandeessi. Ormi garuu nyaachuu hin dandaʼu.
But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and if she has no child, and if she returns to live in her father's house as in her youth, she may eat from her father's food. But no one who is not in the priestly family may eat from the priest's food.
14 “‘Namni yoo utuu hin beekin aarsaa qulqulluu tokko nyaate, inni waan sana iddoo buusee gatii waan sanaa harka shan keessaa harka tokko itti dabalee lubichaaf haa kennu.
If a man eats a holy food without knowing it, then he must repay the priest for it; he must add one-fifth to it and give it back to the priest.
15 Luboonnis aarsaa qulqulluu Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan hin xureessin
The people of Israel must not profane the holy things that they have raised high and presented to Yahweh,
16 yookaan akka sabni sun aarsaa qulqulluu sana nyaatu eeyyamuufiidhaan yakka gatii baasisu isaanitti hin fidin. Ani Waaqayyo isaan qulqulleessuu dha.’”
and cause themselves to carry the sin that would make them guilty of eating the holy food, for I am Yahweh who makes them holy.'”
17 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Aroonitti, ilmaan isaattii fi Israaʼeloota hundatti akkana jedhii himi; ‘Yeroo saba Israaʼel keessaa namni tokko yookaan alagaan Israaʼel keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu aarsaa gubamu godhee wareega isaa yookaan aarsaa fedhiidhaan dhiʼaatu Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessutti,
“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Any Israelite, or an alien living in Israel, when they present a sacrifice—whether it is to fulfill a vow, or whether it is a freewill offering, or they present to Yahweh a burnt offering,
19 isin akka wanni sun fudhatama isiniif argatuuf loon, hoolota yookaan reʼoota keessaa korma hirʼina hin qabne tokko dhiʼeessuu qabdu.
if it is to be accepted, they must offer a male animal without blemish from the cattle, sheep, or goats.
20 Sababii inni isinii hin fudhatamneef waan hirʼina qabu kam iyyuu hin dhiʼeessinaa
But you must not offer whatever has a blemish. I will not accept it on your behalf.
21 Yeroo namni loon yookaan bushaayee keessaa wareega guuttachuuf aarsaa fedhiidhaan dhiʼeeffamu godhee aarsaa nagaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessutti akka wanni sun fudhatama argatuuf wanni sun waan fayyaalessa yookaan waan hirʼina hin qabne haa taʼu.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of fellowship offerings from the herd or the flock to Yahweh to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, it must be unblemished to be accepted. There must be no defect in the animal.
22 Horii jaamaa yookaan cabaa yookaan dooluu yookaan kormommuu yookaan kan dhangalaʼaan dhagna isaa keessaa baʼu yookaan kan madaa malaʼu qabu Waaqayyoof hin dhiʼeessinaa. Kanneen akkasii keessaa tokko iyyuu aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu gootanii iddoo aarsaa irra hin kaaʼinaa.
You must not offer animals that are blind, disabled, or maimed, or that have warts, sores, or scabs. You must not offer these to Yahweh as a sacrifice by fire on the altar.
23 Taʼus sangaa yookaan hoolaa gar malee dheeraa yookaan gar malee gabaabaa taʼe aarsaa fedhiidhaan dhiʼaatu gootanii dhiʼeessuu ni dandeessu; garuu wanni kun wareega keessan guutuuf fudhatama hin argatu.
You may present as a freewill offering an ox or a lamb that is deformed or small, but an offering like that will not be accepted for a vow.
24 Horii kolaafame yookaan kan tumame, kan kolaan isaa baqaqfame yookaan irraa murame tokko Waaqayyoof hin dhiʼeessinaa; isin waan akkasii biyya keessan keessatti hin godhinaa;
Do not offer any animal to Yahweh that has bruised, crushed, torn, or cut testicles. Do not do this within your land.
25 horii akkasii nama ormaa harkaa fuutanii nyaata Waaqa keessanii gootanii hin dhiʼeessinaa. Horiin sun waan kolaafamee hirʼina qabuuf isiniif hin fudhatamu.’”
You must not present the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner. Those animals are deformed and have defects in them, they will not be accepted for you.'”
26 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
27 “Dibichi yookaan hoolaan yookaan reʼeen yommuu dhalatutti hamma bultii torbaatti haadha isaa wajjin haa turu. Guyyaa saddeettaffaadhaa jalqabee immoo aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu taʼee fudhatama ni argata.
“When a calf or a sheep or a goat is born, it must remain seven days with its mother. Then from the eighth day on, it may be accepted as a sacrifice for an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
28 Guyyuma tokkotti, saʼa yookaan hoolaa ilmoo isaa wajjin hin qalinaa.
Do not kill a cow or ewe along with its young, both on the same day.
29 “Gaafa aarsaa galataa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessitanitti akka isiniif fudhatamuuf haala kanaan dhiʼeessaa.
When you sacrifice a thank offering to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it in an acceptable way.
30 Aarsaan kunis gaafuma sana nyaatamuu qaba; waan tokko illee hin bulchinaa. Ani Waaqayyo.
It must be eaten on the same day that it is sacrificed. You must leave none of it until the next morning. I am Yahweh.
31 “Ajajawwan koo eegaa; duukaa buʼaas. Ani Waaqayyo.
So you must keep my commandments and carry them out. I am Yahweh.
32 Maqaa koo qulqullicha hin xureessinaa. Akka ani qulqulluu taʼe Israaʼeloonni haa beeksisan. Ani Waaqayyo kan isin qulqulleessu
You must not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the people of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
33 kanan Waaqa keessan taʼuudhaaf biyya Gibxii isin baasee dha. Ani Waaqayyo.”
who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Yahweh.”
