Lewwota 5
1 “‘Namni tokko yoo waan nama kakachiisu dhagaʼee waaʼee waan arge yookaan beeku sanaa dhugaa baʼuu diduudhaan cubbuu hojjete inni itti gaafatama.
[Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.
2 “‘Yookaan namni tokko yoo waan akka seeraatti xuraaʼaa taʼe jechuunis raqa bineensa xuraaʼaa yookaan horii xuraaʼaa yookaan uumamawwan xuraaʼoo kanneen lafa irra munyuuqanii utuu hin beekin tuqe inni xuraaʼeera; yakka qabeessas taʼa.
If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
3 Yookaan inni yoo xuraaʼummaa namaa jechuunis waan isa xureessu kam iyyuu utuu hin beekin tuqe, yommuu waan sana beeketti yakka qabeessa taʼa.
If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
4 Yookaan namni yoo utuu itti hin yaadin waan gaarii yookaan hamaa gochuuf kakate, waaʼee waan utuu itti hin yaadin kakate sanaa beekuu baatu illee maalumaafuu yommuu waan sana beeketti inni yakka qabeessa taʼa.
If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
5 Inni yoo karaa kanneen keessaa tokkoon iyyuu yakka qabeessa taʼe karaa kamiin akka hojjete haa himatu;
If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.
6 adaba cubbuu hojjete sanaatiifis akka aarsaa cubbuu isaaf taatuuf bushaayee keessaa hoolaa yookaan reʼee dhaltuu Waaqayyoof haa fidu; lubnis cubbuu namichaatiif aarsaa araaraa haa dhiʼeessu.
And for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your sin.
7 “‘Namichi sun cubbuu hojjeteef hoolaa dhiʼeessuutti harka qalleessa yoo taʼe adabbii cubbuu isaatiif gugee lama yookaan gugee sosookkee lama, tokko aarsaa cubbuutiif tokko immoo aarsaa gubamuuf Waaqayyoof haa fidu.
If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
8 Lubattis isaan haa fidu; lubni immoo kan aarsaa cubbuutiif taatu duraan dursee haa dhiʼeessu. Innis mataa ishee micciiree morma ishee haa cabsu; garuu irraa hin kutin.
You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.
9 Dhiiga aarsaa cubbuu sana irraa fuudhee cinaacha iddoo aarsaatti haa facaasu; dhiigni hafe immoo miilla iddoo aarsaa jalatti haa dhangalaafamu; kun aarsaa cubbuu ti.
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your sin.
10 Ergasiis lubichi akkuma ajajametti kan lammaffaa sana aarsaa gubamu godhee cubbuu namichi hojjeteef aarsaa araaraa haa dhiʼeessu; innis dhiifama argata.
The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.
11 “‘Namichi sun yoo gugee lama yookaan gugee sosookkee lama dhiʼeessuutti harka qalleessa taʼe inni cubbuu hojjete sanaaf daakuu bullaaʼaa iifii tokkoo keessaa harka kurnaffaa aarsaa cubbuutiif haa dhiʼeessu. Sababii wanni kun aarsaa cubbuu taʼeef namichi zayitii yookaan ixaana itti hin dabalin.
However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.
12 Innis lubatti haa fidu; lubichi immoo konyee tokko irraa fuudhee akka kutaa yaadannoo tokkootti aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffame gubbaatti iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu; kun aarsaa cubbuu ti.
You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.
13 Lubichis haala kanaan cubbuu namichi hojjeteef araara buusa; innis dhiifama argata. Aarsaan hafe immoo akkuma aarsaa midhaaniitti kan lubichaa taʼa.’”
And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”
14 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
15 “Namni yoo seera cabsee utuu hin beekin waan Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffame kam iyyutti cubbuu hojjete inni adabbii cubbuu isaatiif bushaayee keessaa korbeessa hoolaa kan hirʼina hin qabne kan gatiin isaa akka saqilii iddoo qulqulluutti meetiidhaan tilmaamame tokko aarsaa yakkaa godhee Waaqayyoof haa fidu; kun aarsaa yakkaa ti.
“When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.
16 Namichi sunis waan wantoota qulqulluu irraa hirʼise sana iddoo haa buusu; gatii waan sanaa illee harka shan keessaa harka tokko itti dabalee hunda isaa lubatti haa kennu; lubni sunis korbeessa hoolaa aarsaa yakkaatiif dhiʼeeffame sanaan araara buusaaf; innis dhiifama argata.
But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.
17 “Namni yoo cubbuu hojjetee waan ajajawwan Waaqayyoo keessatti dhowwame hojjete, inni yoo beekuu baate illee yakka qabeessa taʼeera; itti gaafatamas.
If you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].
18 Innis akka tilmaama keetiitti bushaayee keessaa korbeessa hoolaa hirʼina hin qabne tokko aarsaa yakkaa godhee lubatti haa fidu. Lubichis haaluma kanaan yakka namichi utuu hin beekin hojjeteef araara buusa; innis dhiifama argata.
[When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.
19 Kun aarsaa yakkaa ti; namichi sun Waaqayyotti yakka hojjeteera.”
It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
