Lewwota 1
1 Waaqayyo Musee waamee dunkaana wal gaʼii keessaa akkana jedhee itti dubbate;
While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,
2 “Israaʼelootatti dubbadhu; akkanas jedhiin: ‘Isin keessaa namni kam iyyuu yommuu horii keessaa Waaqayyoof kennaa dhiʼeessutti karra loonii yookaan bushaayee keessaa haa dhiʼeessu.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.
3 “‘Yoo kennaan sun qalma gubamu kan karra loonii taʼe, namichi sun korma hirʼina hin qabne haa dhiʼeessu. Akka aarsaan sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti fudhatama argatuufis balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti haa dhiʼeessu.
‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.
4 Namichis mataa horii aarsaa gubamuuf dhiʼeeffamu sanaa irra harka isaa haa kaaʼu; kunis araara isaaf buusuuf qooda isaa fudhatama argata.
You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.
5 Innis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti korma haa qalu; ilmaan Aroon luboonni dhiiga sana fuudhanii iddoo aarsaa kan balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii dura jirutti gama hundaan haa facaasan.
You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
6 Innis aarsaa gubamu sana irraa gogaa baasee kutaa kutaatti murmura.
You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.
7 Ilmaan Aroon lubichaa immoo iddoo aarsaa irratti ibidda qabsiisanii qoraan irra haa naqan.
Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.
8 Ergasiis ilmaan Aroon luboonni kutaa murmurame, mataa fi cooma isaas qoraan iddoo aarsaa irratti bobaʼu irra tarree haa naqan.
Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
9 Innis miʼa garaatii fi miilla qalma sanaa bishaaniin haa dhiqu; lubichis hunda isaa iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu. Kunis aarsaa gubamu kan ibiddaan dhiʼaatuu fi kan urgaan isaa Waaqayyotti toluu dha.
Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
10 “‘Yoo aarsaan sun qalma gubamu kan bushaayee jechuunis hoolaa yookaan reʼee taʼe namichi dhiʼeessu sun korma hirʼina hin qabne haa dhiʼeessu.
‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.
11 Innis gama kaaba iddoo aarsaatiin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa qalu; ilmaan Aroon luboonni immoo gama hundaan dhiiga isaa iddoo aarsaatti haa facaasan.
You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
12 Namichi sunis kutaa kutaatti haa murmuru; lubichi immoo mataa fi cooma isaa qoraan iddoo aarsaa irratti bobaʼaa jiru irra tarree haa naqu.
You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
13 Innis miʼa garaatii fi miilla qalma sanaa bishaaniin haa dhiqu; lubichi immoo hunda isaa fidee iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu. Kunis aarsaa gubamu kan ibiddaan dhiʼaatuu fi kan urgaan isaa Waaqayyotti toluu dha.
Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
14 “‘Yoo aarsaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼaatu sun qalma gubamu kan simbirrootaa taʼe namichi sun gugee yookaan gugee sookkee haa dhiʼeessu.
‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.
15 Lubichi sun gara iddoo aarsaatti haa fidu; mataa isaas micciiree irraa haa kutu; ergasii immoo iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu; dhiigni isaa immoo iddoo aarsaa cinatti haa coccobu.
The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.
16 Miʼa garaa isaa baallee isaa wajjin baasee karaa baʼa biiftuutiin iddoo aarsaa cinatti lafa daaraan jirutti haa gatu.
Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.
17 Karaa qoochoo isaatiin haa baqaqsu; garuu guutumaan guutuutti gargar hin baasin; ergasii lubichi iddoo aarsaa irratti qoraan bobaʼaa jiru irratti haa gubu. Kunis aarsaa gubamu kan ibiddaan dhiʼaatuu fi kan urgaan isaa Waaqayyotti toluu dha.
Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
