Levitiko 17

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Lea kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko eni ʻae meʻa ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē,

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

3 Ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻae pulu pē ko e lami, pe ko e kosi, ʻi he ʻapitanga, pe tāmateʻi ia ʻituʻa he ʻapitanga,

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 Pea ʻikai ʻomi ia ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, ke ʻatu ha feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; ʻe tuku ʻae toto ki he tangata ko ia: kuo lingi ʻe ia ʻae toto; pea ʻe motuhi ʻae tangata ko ia mei hono kakai:

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto YHWH before the tabernacle of YHWH; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

5 Koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu ʻi he ngoue ʻataʻatā, ʻio, kenau ʻomi ia kia Sihova, ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, ki he taulaʻeiki, pea ke ʻatu ia ko e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei kia Sihova.

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 YHWH, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto YHWH.

6 Pea ʻe luluku ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae toto ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea tutu ʻae ngako ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of YHWH at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto YHWH.

7 Pea ʻe ʻikai tenau toe ʻatu ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ki he ngaahi faʻahikehe, ʻaia naʻa nau holi kovi ki ai. Ko e fekau fai maʻu eni kiate kinautolu ʻo taʻengata ʻi honau ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.

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 Pea te ke pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko e tangata ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he muli ʻoku nofo ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ne ʻatu ha feilaulau tutu pe ha feilaulau,

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 of sacrifice,

9 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻomi ia ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, ke ʻatu ia kia Sihova; ko e tangata ko ia ʻe motuhi mei hono kakai.

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto YHWH; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

10 Pea ko e tangata kotoa pē ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku kai ʻe ia ha toto: teu sio fakafulofula ki he tangata ko ia ʻoku kai toto, pea motuhi ia mei hono kakai.

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 He ko e moʻui ʻae kakano ko e toto pea kuo u tuku ia kiate kimoutolu ki homou feilaulauʻanga ke fai ʻae fakalelei maʻa homou laumālie; he ko e toto ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻae laumālie.

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 Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa kai toto ʻe ha tokotaha ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoua naʻa kai toto ʻe ha muli ʻe tokotaha ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.

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 Pea ʻilonga ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku tuli pe maʻu ha manu ha manu kapakau ʻoku ngofua ke kai: ko e moʻoni ʻe lingi ʻe ia hono toto, ʻo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae efu.

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 He ko e moʻui ia ʻae kakano kotoa pē; ko hono toto ko ʻene moʻui ia; ko ia ne u pehē ai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa mou kai ʻae toto ʻo ha meʻa moʻui ʻe taha: he ko e toto ko e moʻui ia ʻae kakano kotoa pē; ko ia ʻoku ne kai ia ʻe motuhi ia.

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 Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kai ʻaia naʻe mate mahaki, pē ko ia kuo haehae ʻe he manu, pe ko ha tokotaha ia ʻo homou fonua pe ko ha muli, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu mo kaukau ia ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi: pea ʻe toki maʻa ia.

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 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai fō ia, pe kaukau hono sino; pea ʻe ʻiate ia pe ʻene hia.

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