Levitiko 7

1 Ko e fono foki eni ʻoe feilaulau maʻae fai hala: ʻoku māʻoniʻoni lahi ia.

“These are the regulations concerning the offerings to be made by people who are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. Those are very sacred offerings.

2 ‌ʻI he potu ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu tenau tāmateʻi ʻae feilaulau maʻae fai hala: pea ko e toto ʻo ia ʻe luluku ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo fakatakamilo.

Each animal that is to be offered by such people must be slaughtered in the same place where the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, and their blood must be sprinkled against all sides of the altar.

3 Pea ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia hono ngako kotoa pē ʻo ia; ko hono tuʻunga iku, mo e punukete,

All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or which is attached to them, must be burned [on the altar].

4 Mo e kofuua ʻe ua, mo e ngako ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he ngutukete, mo e ʻahu ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻate, mo e ongo kofuua, ʻe toʻo ʻe ia ia ʻo ʻave.

That includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the protruding lobe that is attached to the liver.

5 Pea ʻe tutu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he funga feilaulauʻanga ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova: ko e feilaulau ia maʻae fai hala.

The priest must burn them on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people to be forgiven for not doing what they were required to do.

6 Ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻe kai ia: ʻe kai ia ʻi he potu tapu ʻoku fungani māʻoniʻoni ia.

All the males in the priest’s family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a sacred place, because it is very sacred.

7 Hangē ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae feilaulau maʻae fai hala: ʻoku taha pe ʻae fono ki ai: ko e taulaʻeiki ʻoku fai ʻaki ia ʻae fakalelei ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.

“The regulation is the same for the offerings [to enable people to be forgiven for the sins they have committed] and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them in order that the people will be forgiven.

8 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻa ha tangata, ʻe maʻu ʻe he taulaʻeiki maʻana ʻae kili ʻoe feilaulau tutu ʻaia kuo ʻatu ʻe ia.

The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal’s hide for himself.

9 Pea ko e feilaulau meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoku taʻo ʻi he ngotoʻumu, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻi he fakapaku, pe ʻi he ukamea lafalafa ʻe ʻi he taulaʻeiki ia ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻatu ia.

Offerings of things made from grain that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or (in a shallow pan/on a griddle) belong to the priest who makes those offerings [for another person].

10 Pea ko e feilaulau meʻakai kotoa pē, ʻoku feofi mo e lolo, pea mo ia ʻoku mōmoa, ʻe maʻu tatau pe ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone.

And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”

11 Pea ko e fono eni ʻoe feilaulau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia kia Sihova.

These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]:

12 Kapau ʻoku ne ʻatu ia ko e meʻa fakafetaʻi, pea ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia fakataha mo e feilaulau fakafetaʻi ʻae ngaahi mā taʻefakalēvani kuo fefiofi mo e lolo, mo e ngaahi mā manifinifi taʻefakalēvani kuo pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, mo e ngaahi mā ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ʻoku fefiofi mo e lolo, ʻoku fakapaku.

“If you bring an offering to thank [Yahweh], along with [the animal that you slaughter] you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed [with the flour] but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil well mixed with the flour.

13 Pea ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia fakataha mo e ngaahi mā ʻi heʻene feilaulau ʻae mā kuo ʻi ai ʻae meʻa fakalēvani fakataha mo e feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi ʻo ʻene feilaulau fakamelino.

Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.

14 Pea ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae taha mei he meʻaʻofa kotoa pē ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, pea ʻe ʻi he taulaʻeiki ia ʻaia ʻoku ne luluku ʻae toto ʻoe feilaulau fakamelino.

You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is [slaughtered as an offering] to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.

15 Pea ko e kanomate ʻoe feilaulau ʻo ʻene feilaulau fakamelino ko e meʻa fakafetaʻi, ʻe kai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ʻatu ai ia: ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia hano toe ki he ʻapongipongi.

The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it should be left to [be eaten on] the next day.

16 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻatu ʻa ʻene feilaulau ko e meʻa ʻi he lea fakapapau, pe ko e feilaulau loto lelei pe, ʻe kai ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ʻatu ai ʻene feilaulau pea ko e ʻapongipongi foki ʻe kai hono toe:

“However, if your offering is the result of a solemn promise that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make (voluntarily/without being required to), you are permitted to eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, but anything that is left may be eaten on the next day.

17 Ka ko hono toe ʻoe kanomate ʻoe feilaulau ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.

But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.

18 Pea kapau ʻe kai ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho ha kanomate ʻoe feilaulau ʻo ʻene feilaulau fakamelino, ʻe ʻikai maʻu ia, pea ʻe ʻikai lau ia kiate ia naʻe ʻatu ia: ko e meʻa kovi lahi ia, pea ko ia ʻoku ne kai ai ʻe fua ʻe ia ʻene hia.

If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty [to Yahweh].

19 Pea ko e kanomate ʻoku lave ki ha meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻe ʻikai kai ia: ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi; pea koeʻuhi ko e kanomate, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻe kai ʻe ia ia.

“Meat that touches something [that God considers to be] impure must not be eaten; it must be completely burned. Anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat other meat [which has been offered as a sacrifice].

20 Ka ko ia ʻoku kai ʻae kanomate ʻoe feilaulau ʻoe feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia ʻoku kau kia Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa ʻene taʻemaʻa, ʻe motuhi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei hono kakai.

But if anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.

21 Pea ko ia foki ʻe lave ki ha meʻa taʻemaʻa, ki he taʻemaʻa ʻae tangata, pe ha manu, pe ha meʻa fakalielia ʻo taʻemaʻa, pea kai ʻe ia ʻae kanomate ʻoe feilaulau ʻoe feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia ʻoku kau kia Sihova, ʻe motuhi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei hono kakai.

If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.”

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

Yahweh also said to Moses/me:

23 Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa mou kai ha ngako ʻoe pulu, pe ko e sipi, pe ko e kosi.

“Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.

24 Pea ko e ngako ʻoe manu mate mahaki pe, mo e ngako ʻo ia kuo mate ʻi he haehae ʻe he manu kehe, ke mou ngāueʻaki ia ʻi ha ngāue kehe: ka ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou kai ia.

The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.

25 He ko ia ʻoku ne kai ʻae ngako ʻoe manu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu mei ai ʻe he kakai ʻae feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻio, ko ia ʻoku ne kai ai ʻe motuhi ia mei hono kakai.

Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.

26 Pea ʻe ʻikai foki te mou kai ha toto ʻo ha manu kapakau pe ha manu kehe, ʻi homou ngaahi nofoʻanga.

And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

27 ‌ʻIlonga ha taha ʻe kai ha toto, ʻe motuhi ʻae laumālie ko ia mei hono kakai.

If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.’”

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

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

29 Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻo ʻene ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino kia Sihova, ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻene meʻaʻofa kia Sihova, ʻi he feilaulau ʻo ʻene ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino.

“Tell the Israeli people this: ‘Anyone who brings an offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh.

30 ‌ʻE ʻomi ʻe hono nima ʻoʻona pe ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova, ʻoku tutu ʻi he afi, ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae ngako mo e fatafata, koeʻuhi ke taʻaloʻalo ʻaki ʻae fatafata, ko e feilaulau taʻaloʻalo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it up in front of Yahweh to indicate that it is an offering to him.

31 Pea ʻe tutu ʻae ngako ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga: ka ʻoku ʻia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ʻae fatafata.

The Supreme Priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his sons.

32 Pea te mou ʻatu ki he taulaʻeiki ʻae alanga muʻa toʻomataʻu ko e feilaulau hiki hake ia ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino.

You must give to the Supreme Priest the right thigh of the animal that is sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.

33 Ko ia ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻoku ʻatu ʻae toto ʻoe feilaulau fakamelino, mo e ngako, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae alanga muʻa toʻomataʻu ko hono ʻinasi.

The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice must be given the right thigh of the animal as his share.

34 He ko e fatafata taʻaloʻalo mo e alanga muʻa hiki hake kuo u toʻo mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mei he ngaahi feilaulau ʻo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, pea kuo u ʻatu ia kia ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata, mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

From the offerings that the Israeli people give to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, he has declared that he has given to Aaron and his sons the breast that is lifted up and the right thigh that is offered; those portions must always be their regular share from the Israeli people.’”

35 Ko eni[ʻae ʻinasi ]ʻoe fakanofo ʻo ʻElone, mo e fakanofo ʻo hono ngaahi foha, mei he ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoku tutu ʻi he afi, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻakinautolu ke ngāue kia Sihova ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki;

Those are the portions of the offerings brought/given to Yahweh and burned in fire that are allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day that they are set apart to serve Yahweh as priests.

36 ‌ʻAia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ke ʻatu kiate kinautolu mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻaho naʻa ne fakanofo ai ʻakinautolu, ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata ʻi honau ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.

Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed [MTY], the Israeli people must always give those portions to the priests.

37 Ko eni ʻae fono ʻoe feilaulau tutu, ʻoe feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo e feilaulau ʻi he fai hala, mo e ngaahi fakatapu, mo e feilaulau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino;

Those are the regulations for the offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar, the offerings made from grain, the offerings to enable people to become acceptable to God again, the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him, the offerings given when the priests are appointed, and the offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.

38 ‌ʻAia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai, ʻi he ʻaho naʻa ne fekau ai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻenau ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Sihova, ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai.

They are regulations that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain in the Sinai Desert, on the day that he commanded the Israeli people to start bringing their offerings to him.
