< Leviticus 17 >
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Sọ fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli: ‘Ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ nìyí,
“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:
3 bí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú ìdílé Israẹli bá pa màlúù tàbí ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn tàbí àgbò nínú ibùdó tàbí bí ó bá pa á lẹ́yìn ibùdó
‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it
4 tí kò sì mú un wá sí ibi àgọ́ ìpàdé láti fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa níwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé, ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ni kí ẹ kà sí ẹni náà lọ́rùn: torí pé ó ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ẹni náà ni a ó sì gé kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.
5 Èyí rí bẹ́ẹ̀ kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli le è máa mú ẹbọ wọn tí wọn ti rú ní ìta gbangba wá sí iwájú Olúwa: wọ́n gbọdọ̀ mú un wá síwájú àlùfáà àní sí Olúwa ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé, kí wọ́n sì rú wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ àlàáfíà sí Olúwa.
For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace to the LORD.
6 Àlùfáà náà yóò sì fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà wọ́n ibi pẹpẹ Olúwa ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé, yóò sì sun ọ̀rá rẹ̀ ní òórùn dídùn sí Olúwa.
The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
7 Nítorí náà, kí wọn má ṣe rú ẹbọ wọn sí ère ẹranko mọ́, nínú èyí tí wọ́n ti ṣe àgbèrè tọ̀ lọ. Èyí yóò sì jẹ́ ìlànà títí láé láti ìran dé ìran wọn tí ń bọ̀.’
They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
8 “Kí ó sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ọkùnrin yówù kí ó jẹ́ ní ìdílé Israẹli tàbí ti àwọn àlejò tí ń gbé láàrín wọn tí ó bá rú ẹbọ sísun tàbí ṣe ẹbọ
Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
9 tí kò sì mú un wá sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé láti fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó gé kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
10 “‘Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ yálà nínú ìdílé Israẹli tàbí àwọn àlejò tí ń gbé láàrín wọn, Èmi yóò bínú sí irú ẹni náà tí ó jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, èmi yóò sì gé e kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
If anyone from the house of Israel or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.
11 Nítorí pé nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni ẹ̀mí ẹ̀dá wà, èmi sì ti fi fún yín lórí pẹpẹ fún ètùtù ọkàn yín: nítorí pé ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni a fi ń ṣe ètùtù fún ẹ̀mí ènìyàn.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
12 Ìdí nìyí tí mo fi sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, ọ̀kankan nínú yín kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àlejò kan tí ń ṣe àtìpó nínú yín kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀.
Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’
13 “‘Ẹnikẹ́ni yálà nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tàbí àlejò tí ń gbé láàrín wọn, tí ó bá pa ẹranko tàbí ẹyẹ tí ó yẹ fún jíjẹ gbọdọ̀ ro ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ kí ó sì bò ó mọ́lẹ̀.
And if any Israelite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.
14 Torí pé ẹ̀mí gbogbo ẹ̀dá ni ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀, torí náà ni mo fi kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé wọn kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ ohun abẹ̀mí kankan, torí pé nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ohun abẹ̀mí wọ̀nyí ni ẹ̀mí wọn wà, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ ẹ́ ni a ó gé kúrò.
For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’
15 “‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ ohun tí ó kú sílẹ̀ fúnra rẹ̀, tàbí èyí tí ẹranko búburú pa kálẹ̀ yálà onílé tàbí àlejò, ó ní láti fọ aṣọ rẹ̀. Kí ó sì fi omi wẹ ara rẹ̀, yóò sì wà ní ipò àìmọ́ títí di àṣálẹ́ lẹ́yìn èyí ni yóò tó di mímọ́.
And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.
16 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá kọ̀ láti wẹ ara rẹ̀ tí kò sì fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ náà: ẹ̀bi rẹ̀ yóò wà lórí ara rẹ̀.’”
But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”
