Levitikosy 17

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Mitenena amin’ i Arona sy ny zanany ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra hoe: Izao no nandidian’ i Jehovah:

Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying,

3 Na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely no mamono omby, na zanak’ ondry, na osy, na eo an-toby, na any ivelan’ ny toby,

Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall kill it out of the camp,

4 ka tsy mitondra azy ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, hanaterana azy ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah eo anoloan’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah, dia ho meloka noho ny rà nalatsany izany olona izany, ka hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy,

and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice it for a whole-burnt-offering or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for a sweet-smelling savour: and whosoever shall slay it without, and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from his people.

5 mba ho entin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely ho an’ i Jehovah eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, ho amin’ ny mpisorona, ny zavatra vonoiny ho fanatitra, izay famonony tany an-tsaha; ary dia hateriny ho fanati-pihavanana ho an’ i Jehovah izany.

That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they shall slay in the fields, and bring them to the Lord unto the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord.

6 Ary ny mpisorona hanopy ny rà amin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ka handoro ny saborany ho fofona ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah.

And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar round about before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the fat for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.

7 Ary tsy hateriny intsony ny fanatiny ho an’ ny Seïrima izay nijangajangany. Ho lalàna mandrakizay hatramin’ ny taranany fara mandimby izany.

And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain [gods] after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your generations.

8 Ary lazao aminy hoe: Na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminareo, no manatitra fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà,

And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes abiding among you, shall offer a whole-burnt-offering or a sacrifice,

9 ka tsy mitondra azy ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana hanatitra azy ho an’ i Jehovah, dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny.

and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed from among his people.

10 Ary na iza na iza amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminareo, no mihinan-drà, ny Tavako dia hanandrina ny olona izay mihinan-drà, ka hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy.

And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its people.

11 Fa ny ain’ ny nofo dia amin’ ny rà; ary nomeko anareo izany hatao ambonin’ ny alitara hanao fanavotana ho an’ ny ainareo, fa ny rà no manao fanavotana, satria aina izany.

For the life of flesh is its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood shall make atonement for the soul.

12 Koa izany no nilazako tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Aza misy mihinan-drà, na ianareo, na ny vahiny eo aminareo.

Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides among you shall not eat blood.

13 Na iza na iza amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminy, no mihaza ka mahazo biby na vorona izay fihinana, dia haidiny amin’ ny tany ny ràny ka hototofany;

And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you shall take any animal in hunting, beast, or bird, which is eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and cover it in the dust.

14 fa ny amin’ ny amin’ ny nofo rehetra, dia ny ràny no ainy; koa izany no nilazako tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Aza mihinana ny ran’ ny nofo; fa ny ràny no ain’ ny nofo rehetra, ka izay rehetra mihinana azy dia haringana.

For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood: every one that eats it shall be destroyed.

15 Ary ny olona rehetra, na tompon-tany, na vahiny, izay mihinana izay maty ho azy, na izay noviraviraim-biby, dia hanasa fitafiana sy handro amin’ ny rano, ary haloto mandra-paharivan’ ny andro izy, vao hadio.

And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken of beasts, either among the natives or among the strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.

16 Fa raha tsy manasa fitafiana sy mandro izy, dia ho meloka.

But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.
