< Leviticus 17 >
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Sọ fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli: ‘Ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ nìyí,
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the other Israeli people, and say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh 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
If you sacrifice an ox or a lamb or a goat, you must bring it [to the priest] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to present/offer it to me there.
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.
If you slaughter it to be a sacrifice anywhere else in the camp or outside the camp, you will be guilty of killing an animal [in an unacceptable place]. As a result you will no longer be allowed to be/associate with my 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.
That rule is in order that you Israeli people, instead of offering sacrifices in the open fields, will offer them to me by taking them to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to be offerings to maintain fellowship [with me].
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.
[After the animal is slaughtered], the priest must sprinkle some of its blood against the altar at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and burn its fat to be an aroma that is pleasing to me.
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.’
You people must no longer give sacrifices to the demons that resemble goats which you are worshiping. You people must obey this command forever.’
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
“And tell this to the people: ‘If any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among them brings an offering that is to be completely burned [on the altar], or any other 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.
and does not bring it to the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area] to be a sacrifice to me, that person will no longer be allowed to associate with my 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.
‘I will reject [IDM] any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who eats any blood, and I [will command that he] no longer be allowed to associate with my 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.
That is because the life of every creature is in its blood; I have declared that it is blood that is to be offered on the altar to enable people to be forgiven for their sins.
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.
That is why I say that you Israelis must not eat blood, and the foreigners who live among you must also not 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.
‘Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who hunts any animal or bird that is permitted for you to eat, must drain out the blood [of the animal or bird that he kills], and cover the blood 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.
This is because the life of every creature is in its blood. And that is why I have said [DOU] to you Israelis that anyone who eats blood must no longer [be allowed to associate with my people].
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.
‘Anyone in Israel, including foreigners, who eats any of the meat of any creature that is found dead, or that had been killed by wild animals, must wash his clothes and bathe. Then he must not touch anyone until that evening.
16 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá kọ̀ láti wẹ ara rẹ̀ tí kò sì fọ aṣọ rẹ̀ náà: ẹ̀bi rẹ̀ yóò wà lórí ara rẹ̀.’”
If he does not do those things, he will be punished for what he did.’”
