< Exodus 30 >

1 And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.
“Thondeka kĩgongona kĩa mbaũ cia mũgaa gĩa gũcinagĩra ũbumba.
2 The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.
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 It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.
Kĩgemie igũrũ, o na mĩena yothe, o na hĩa ciakĩo, na thahabu therie, na ũgĩtirihe na mũcibi wa thahabu ũgĩthiũrũrũkĩrie.
4 Under the edge on the two opposite sides, you are to make two gold rings, to take the rods for lifting 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 And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.
Thondeka mĩtĩ mĩraaya ya mbaũ cia mũgaa, na ũmĩgemie na thahabu.
6 And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face 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 on this altar sweet spices are to be burned by Aaron every morning when he sees to the lights.
“Harũni no nginya acinĩre ũbumba mũnungi wega hau igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona o rũciinĩ rĩrĩa egũthondeka matawa.
8 And every evening, when he puts the lights up in their places, the spices are to be burned, a sweet-smelling smoke going up before the Lord from generation to generation for ever.
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 No strange perfume, no burned offering or meal offering, and no drink offering is to be offered 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 And once every year Aaron is to make its horns clean: with the blood of the sin-offering he is to make it clean once every year from generation to generation: it 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 And the Lord said to Moses,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
12 When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to the Lord a price for his life, so that no disease may come on 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 And this is what they are to give; let every man who is numbered give half a shekel, by the scale of the holy place: (the shekel being valued at twenty gerahs: ) this money 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 who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, is to give an 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 The man of wealth is to give no more and the poor man no less than the half-shekel of silver, when the offering is made to the Lord as the price for your lives.
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 And you are to take this money from the children of Israel to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting, to keep the memory of the children of Israel before the Lord and to be the price of 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 brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with 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 That it may be used by Aaron and his sons for washing their hands and feet;
Harũni na ariũ ake marĩĩthambaga moko mao na nyarĩrĩ na maaĩ macio.
20 Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,
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 Their hands and feet are to be washed. so that they may be safe from death: this is an order to them for ever; to him and his seed from generation to generation.
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 And the Lord said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
23 Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,
“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 And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin:
cekeri 500 cia mwĩnũ, ciothe kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na hini ya maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ.
25 And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy 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 This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law,
Ningĩ ũhũthĩre maguta macio gũitĩrĩria Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira,
27 And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,
na metha na indo ciayo ciothe, na mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa na indo ciaguo, na kĩgongona gĩa gũcinĩra ũbumba, na
28 And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.
kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino na indo ciakĩo ciothe, na kĩraĩ na kĩgũrũ gĩakĩo.
29 And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy.
Nĩũgaciamũra nĩgeetha ituĩke theru mũno makĩria, nakĩo kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩgacihutia nĩgĩgatuĩka gĩtheru.
30 And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.
“Itĩrĩria Harũni na ariũ ake maguta ũmaamũre nĩgeetha mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
31 And say to the children of Israel, This is to be the Lord's holy oil, from generation to generation.
Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Maya nĩmo maguta makwa marĩa matheru ma gũitanagĩrĩrio ma njiarwa iria igooka.
32 It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy.
Ndũkanamaitĩrĩrie mĩĩrĩ ya arũme, na ndũkanathondeke maguta mangĩ na mũthondekere ũcio. Nĩ matheru na nĩ wega ũmatuage atĩ nĩ matheru.
33 Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will 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 And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights;
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 from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean 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 And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.
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 not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.
Mũtikanethondekere ũbumba wa mũthemba ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa inyuĩ ene; ũtuagei mũtheru nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova.
38 Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũgathondeka ũngĩ taguo nĩguo ekenagie na mũtararĩko waguo nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.”
