< Leviticus 24 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
“Atha andũ a Isiraeli makũrehere maguta marĩa makeere wega ma ndamaiyũ hihe ma gũkũheaga ũtheri, nĩgeetha matawa maikarage maakanĩte hĩndĩ ciothe.
3 Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.
Nja ya gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira o kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo-rĩ, Harũni nĩamenyagĩrĩre matawa macio mbere ya Jehova kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ o nginya rũciinĩ, hĩndĩ ciothe. Ũndũ ũyũ ũgaatuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra wa njiarwa iria igooka.
4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
Matawa macio marĩ mbere ya Jehova, o macio maigĩrĩirwo mũtĩ-inĩ wa matawa wa thahabu ĩrĩa therie no nginya mamenyagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe.
5 You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,
“Oya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, ũthondeke mĩgate ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, o mũgate ũmwe ũrugwo na tũcunjĩ twĩrĩ twa ikũmi twa eba ĩmwe.
6 and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
Ũcooke ũmĩare mĩhari ĩĩrĩ, o mũhari mĩgate ĩtandatũ, ũmĩigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa metha ya thahabu therie hau mbere ya Jehova.
7 And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Na o mũhari-inĩ nĩhaigwo ũbani ũrĩa mũtherie ũtuĩke gĩcunjĩ gĩa kĩririkano ũrũgamĩrĩire mĩgate ĩyo, na ũtuĩke iruta rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova na mwaki.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.
Mĩgate ĩyo nĩ ĩigagwo mbere ya Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe, o Thabatũ o Thabatũ, ĩrũgamagĩrĩre andũ a Isiraeli, ĩtuĩke kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra.
9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD—his portion forever.”
Mĩgate ĩyo nĩ ya Harũni na ariũ ake, nao mamĩrĩagĩre handũ hatheru, nĩ tondũ mĩgate ĩyo nĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩtheru mũno harĩ rwĩga rwao rwa maruta marĩa marutĩirwo Jehova ma gũcinwo na mwaki.”
10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wa mũtumia Mũisiraeli, no ithe aarĩ Mũmisiri, nĩathiire gũceerera andũ a Isiraeli, nake mũndũ ũcio na Mũisiraeli makĩrũa marĩ kũu kambĩ.
11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
Ũcio mũrũ wa mũtumia Mũisiraeli nĩarumire Rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai na kĩrumi; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũtwarĩra Musa. (Nyina wa mũndũ ũcio eetagwo Shelomithu, mwarĩ wa Dibiri ũrĩa Mũdani.)
12 They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.
Makĩmũikia thĩinĩ, makĩmũrangĩra nginya rĩrĩa mangĩamenyire wega wendi wa Jehova.
13 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.
“Twara mũrumani ũcio nja ya kambĩ. Andũ arĩa othe maamũiguire akĩrumana mamũigĩrĩre moko mũtwe, nakĩo kĩũngano gĩothe kĩmũhũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
15 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.
Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkaaruma Ngai wake, no nginya agaacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio ekĩte:
16 Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkaaruma rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova no nginya akooragwo. Kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli no nginya gĩkaamũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Aakorwo arĩ mũgeni kana arĩ mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, rĩrĩa akaaruma Rĩĩtwa rĩu rĩa Jehova, no nginya akooragwo.
17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
“‘Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkooraga mũndũ ũngĩ, no nginya nake akooragwo.
18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩũraga nyamũ ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, no nginya akaamĩrĩha, nyamũ ĩrĩhwo na nyamũ ĩngĩ.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩgatiihia ũrĩa ũngĩ, o ũrĩa ekanĩte no nginya nake ekwo o ũguo:
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.
Mũndũ oina mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ihĩndĩ, nake akoinwo ihĩndĩ, riitho rĩrĩhagio na riitho, igego rĩrĩhagio na igego. O ũrĩa mũndũ atiihĩtie mũndũ ũngĩ, o nake atiihio o ro ũguo.
21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkooraga nyamũ nĩakamĩrĩha, no ũrĩa ũkooraga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ no nginya akooragwo.
22 You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”
Mũrĩkoragwo na watho o ro ũmwe ũkoniĩ mũgeni na mũndũ ũrĩa ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Nake Musa akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli, nao magĩtwara mũndũ ũcio warumĩte Ngai nja ya kambĩ, makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
