Levitiko 17

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

And Jehovah speaketh 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 sons of Israel; and thou hast said unto them, This [is] the thing which Jehovah 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,

Any man of the house of Israel who slaughtereth ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who slaughtereth at the outside 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 unto the opening of the tent of meeting hath not brought it in to bring near an offering to Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood is reckoned to that man — blood he hath shed — and that man hath been cut off from the midst of 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.

so that the sons of Israel do bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, yea, they have brought them in to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah with them.

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 hath sprinkled the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath made perfume with the fat for sweet fragrance to Jehovah;

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 sacrifice not any more their sacrifices to goats after which they are going a-whoring; a statute age-during is this to them, to 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 unto them thou sayest: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who sojourneth in your midst, who causeth burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,

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 unto the opening of the tent of meeting doth not bring it in to make it to Jehovah — that man hath been cut off from 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 any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who eateth any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of 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 on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood which maketh 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 have said to the sons of Israel, No person among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst doth not 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 any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or fowl, which is eaten — hath even poured out its blood, and hath covered 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, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is 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 any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners — hath both washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the evening — then he hath been clean;

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

and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not — then he hath borne his iniquity.'
