< Exodus 30 >

1 “You are also to make an altar of acacia wood for the burning of incense.
“Thondeka kĩgongona kĩa mbaũ cia mũgaa gĩa gũcinagĩra ũbumba.
2 It is to be square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns must be of one piece.
Nĩgĩkorwo kĩiganaine mĩena yothe mũkono ũmwe kũraiha na mũkono ũmwe kwarama na mĩkono ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na igũrũ, hĩa ciakĩo ituĩke kĩndũ o ro kĩmwe na kĩgongona.
3 Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.
Kĩgemie igũrũ, o na mĩena yothe, o na hĩa ciakĩo, na thahabu therie, na ũgĩtirihe na mũcibi wa thahabu ũgĩthiũrũrũkĩrie.
4 And make two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.
Thondekera kĩgongona kĩu mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ, ũmĩoherere thĩ wa mũcibi ũcio, ĩĩrĩ mwena ũmwe, na ĩĩrĩ mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ ĩnyiitagĩrĩre mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩraaya ĩtũmagĩrwo gũgĩkuua.
5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
Thondeka mĩtĩ mĩraaya ya mbaũ cia mũgaa, na ũmĩgemie na thahabu.
6 Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony —before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony—where I will meet with you.
Iga kĩgongona kĩu mbere ya gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, mbere ya gĩtĩ gĩa tha kĩrĩa kĩrĩ igũrũ rĩa ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, harĩa ngaacemania nawe.
7 And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps.
“Harũni no nginya acinĩre ũbumba mũnungi wega hau igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona o rũciinĩ rĩrĩa egũthondeka matawa.
8 When Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he must burn the incense perpetually before the LORD for the generations to come.
No nginya acine ũbumba rĩngĩ agĩakia matawa hwaĩ-inĩ kũrĩ mairia, nĩgeetha ũbumba ũikarage ũgĩcinagwo mahinda mothe mbere ya Jehova, njiarwa na njiarwa iria igooka.
9 On this altar you must not offer unauthorized incense or a burnt offering or grain offering; nor are you to pour a drink offering on it.
Ndũkanacinĩre ũbumba wa mũthemba ũngĩ kĩgongona-inĩ gĩkĩ kana ũrutĩre ho iruta rĩa njino, kana rĩa mũtu, na ndũkanaitĩrĩrie iruta rĩa kũnyuuo igũrũ rĩakĩo.
10 Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. The altar is most holy to the LORD.”
Harũni nĩarutage horohio hĩa-inĩ cia kĩgongona kĩu o mwaka riita rĩmwe. Horohio ĩno ya o mwaka no nginya ĩrutagwo na thakame ya iruta rĩa kũhoroheria mehia, nginya njiarwa iria igooka. Horohio ĩyo nĩ igongona itheru mũno harĩ Jehova.”
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
12 “When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will come upon them when they are numbered.
“Rĩrĩa ũgũtara andũ a Isiraeli-rĩ, o mũndũ no nginya arutagĩre Jehova kĩndũ gĩa gũkũũra muoyo wake rĩrĩa egũtarwo. Na gũtirĩ mũthiro ũkaamakora ũkĩmatara.
13 Everyone who crosses over to those counted must pay a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD.
Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩkĩraga agathiĩ mwena wa andũ arĩa marĩkĩtie gũtarwo, nĩarĩrutaga nuthu ya cekeri kũringana na ũrĩa cekeri ya harĩa haamũre ĩtariĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ na ũritũ wa geera mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Nuthu ĩyo ya cekeri nĩ iruta kũrĩ Jehova.
14 Everyone twenty years of age or older who crosses over must give this offering to the LORD.
Arĩa othe marĩkĩraga magathiĩ mwena wa arĩa marĩkĩtie gũtarwo, marĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria, no nginya maheage Jehova iruta rĩu.
15 In making the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives, the rich shall not give more than a half shekel, nor shall the poor give less.
Arĩa atongu matirĩheanaga makĩria ya nuthu ya cekeri, nao arĩa athĩĩni matirĩheanaga kĩndũ kĩnini gũkĩra nuthu ya cekeri hĩndĩ ya kũrutĩra Jehova horohio ya mĩoyo yao.
16 Take the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD to make atonement for your lives.”
Amũkĩra mbeeca cia horohio kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli nawe ũcihũthĩre ũtungata-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Ũguo ũgaatuĩka kĩririkano kĩa andũ a Isiraeli mbere ya Jehova makĩrutĩra mĩoyo yao horohio.”
17 And the LORD said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
18 “You are to make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Set it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it,
“Thondeka kĩraĩ gĩa gwĩthambagĩra gĩa gĩcango, kĩrĩ na kĩgũrũ gĩakĩo gĩa gĩcango. Ũkĩige gatagatĩ ka Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo na kĩgongona, na ũgĩĩkĩre maaĩ.
19 with which Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet.
Harũni na ariũ ake marĩĩthambaga moko mao na nyarĩrĩ na maaĩ macio.
20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister by presenting an offering made by fire to the LORD, they must wash with water so that they will not die.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe marĩtoonyaga Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, marĩĩthambaga na maaĩ nĩgeetha matigakue. O na ningĩ rĩrĩa mathengerera kĩgongona nĩguo marutĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki,
21 Thus they are to wash their hands and feet so that they will not die; this shall be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”
marĩĩthambaga moko na nyarĩrĩ nĩgeetha matigakue. Ũndũ ũcio ũgaatuĩka watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo tene na tene nĩ Harũni na njiaro ciake, na njiarwa ciao ciothe iria igooka.”
22 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
23 “Take the finest spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half that amount (250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane,
“Oya mahuti maya manungi wega: cekeri 500 cia manemane ĩrĩa ndwekie, nuthu yamo (nacio icio nĩ cekeri 250) cia ndarathini nungi wega, na cekeri 250 cia karamathi nungi wega,
24 500 shekels of cassia —all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.
cekeri 500 cia mwĩnũ, ciothe kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na hini ya maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ.
25 Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.
Indo ici ũcithondeke ituĩke maguta matheru ma gũitanĩrĩrio matukanĩtio makanunga wega marutĩirwo wĩra nĩ mũthondeki mũũgĩ wa maguta. Macio matuĩke maguta matheru ma gũitanagĩrĩrio.
26 Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,
Ningĩ ũhũthĩre maguta macio gũitĩrĩria Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira,
27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,
na metha na indo ciayo ciothe, na mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa na indo ciaguo, na kĩgongona gĩa gũcinĩra ũbumba, na
28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.
kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino na indo ciakĩo ciothe, na kĩraĩ na kĩgũrũ gĩakĩo.
29 You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
Nĩũgaciamũra nĩgeetha ituĩke theru mũno makĩria, nakĩo kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩgacihutia nĩgĩgatuĩka gĩtheru.
30 Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.
“Itĩrĩria Harũni na ariũ ake maguta ũmaamũre nĩgeetha mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
31 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.
Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Maya nĩmo maguta makwa marĩa matheru ma gũitanagĩrĩrio ma njiarwa iria igooka.
32 It must not be used to anoint an ordinary man, and you must not make anything like it with the same formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.
Ndũkanamaitĩrĩrie mĩĩrĩ ya arũme, na ndũkanathondeke maguta mangĩ na mũthondekere ũcio. Nĩ matheru na nĩ wega ũmatuage atĩ nĩ matheru.
33 Anyone who mixes perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”
Mũndũ wothe ũrĩthondekaga maguta manungi wega mahaana ta maya, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩmaitĩrĩria mũndũ ũtarĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.’”
34 The LORD also said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—in equal measures,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya mahuti manungi wega marĩa metagwo thitakiti, na onuka na garibane, hamwe na ũbani ũrĩa mwega mũno, mothe mathimĩtwo maiganaine,
35 and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
na ũthondekithie magĩe na mũtararĩko mwega wa ũbumba; wĩra ũcio ũrutwo nĩ mũthondeki mũũgĩ wa maguta. Makorwo mekĩrĩtwo cumbĩ, na marĩ matheru na makaamũrwo.
36 Grind some of it into fine powder and place it in front of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.
Thĩithia mahuti mamwe matuĩke mũtu, naguo ũũige mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, harĩa ndĩĩcemanagia nawe. Ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũtheru mũno harĩwe.
37 You are never to use this formula to make incense for yourselves; you shall regard it as holy to the LORD.
Mũtikanethondekere ũbumba wa mũthemba ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa inyuĩ ene; ũtuagei mũtheru nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova.
38 Anyone who makes something like it to enjoy its fragrance shall be cut off from his people.”
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũgathondeka ũngĩ taguo nĩguo ekenagie na mũtararĩko waguo nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.”
