< Leviticus 5 >
1 And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:
“‘Mũndũ angĩaga kũruta ũira rĩrĩa etĩtwo arute ũira igũrũ rĩa ũndũ oonete kana akaigua, mũndũ ũcio nĩehĩtie, na nĩagacookererwo nĩ wĩhia ũcio wake.
2 If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:
“‘Kana mũndũ angĩhutia kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩrĩ thaahu, kĩrĩ kĩimba kĩa nyamũ ya gĩthaka ĩrĩ thaahu kana kĩa ũhiũ ũrĩ thaahu, kana gĩa ciũmbe iria itambaga thĩ irĩ thaahu, o na aakorwo ndooĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio nĩanyiitĩtwo nĩ thaahu na nĩahĩtĩtie.
3 Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible:
“‘Kana angĩhutia kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu kiumĩte harĩ mũndũ, kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩmũthaahia, o na akorwo ũndũ ũcio ndaũũĩ-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akaaũmenya, nĩagatuĩka nĩahĩtĩtie.
4 Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.
“‘Kana mũndũ angĩĩhĩta gwĩka ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ atawĩcirĩtie wega, ũrĩ ũndũ mwega kana mũũru, ũndũ-inĩ o wothe ũrĩa mũndũ angĩhiũha kwĩhĩta, o na angĩkorwo atekũũmenya-rĩ, rĩrĩa akaaũmenya, nĩagatuĩka nĩahĩtĩtie ũndũ-inĩ ũcio.
5 And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;
“‘Rĩrĩa mũndũ ahĩtĩtie na njĩra ĩmwe ya macio-rĩ, no nginya oimbũre ũndũ ũrĩa ehĩtie naguo,
6 And take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away his sin.
na nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩhia rĩu ekĩte, no nginya arehere Jehova kamwatĩ kana mbũri kuuma rũũru-inĩ, rĩrĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia; nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamũhoroheria mehia make.
7 And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering.
“‘Angĩkorwo ndangĩona kagondu, nĩakarehera Jehova ndirahũgĩ igĩrĩ kana tũtutuura twĩrĩ, rĩrĩ irĩhi rĩa wĩhia wake, ĩmwe ĩrĩ ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ĩrĩ ya iruta rĩa njino.
8 And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two;
Nĩagacirehera mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa ũkaamba kũruta ĩrĩa ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia. Nĩakamĩthiora ngingo yunĩke no ndakamĩtinanie,
9 And he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin-offering.
na nĩagacooka aminjaminje thakame ĩmwe ya iruta rĩu rĩa mehia mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona, na thakame ĩyo ĩngĩ amĩite thĩ gĩtina-inĩ gĩa kĩgongona. Rĩu nĩrĩo iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
10 And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka arute ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩrĩ iruta rĩa njino o ta ũrĩa gũtuĩtwo, na amũhoroherie mehia marĩa ekĩte, nake nĩakarekerwo.
11 But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering.
“‘No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo ndangĩona ndirahũgĩ igĩrĩ kana tũtutuura twĩrĩ, nĩakĩrute gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa eba ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũrĩ iruta rĩa mehia make. Ndakawĩkĩre maguta kana ũbani, nĩ ũndũ rĩu nĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
12 And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering.
Nĩakaũtwarĩra mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nake arũme ngundi yaguo ũtuĩke gĩcunjĩ gĩa kĩririkano acooke aũcinĩre kĩgongona-inĩ igũrũ rĩa maruta marĩa marutĩirwo Jehova na mwaki. Rĩu nĩrĩo iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
13 And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering.
Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaahoroheria mũndũ ũcio rĩĩhia o rĩothe rĩa macio angĩkorwo ekĩte, nake nĩakarekerwo. Matigari ma iruta rĩu magaatuĩka ma mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, o ta ũrĩa gwĩkagwo hĩndĩ ya iruta rĩa mũtu.’”
14 And the Lord said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
15 If anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the scale of the holy place.
“Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ angĩhĩtia na ehie atekwenda wĩhia ũkoniĩ indo iria nyamũrĩre Jehova-rĩ, nĩakarehera Jehova ndũrũme ĩrĩ iruta rĩa irĩhi rĩa ihĩtia kuuma rũũru-inĩ, ndũrũme ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ, ĩkorwo ĩrĩ ya thogora ũrĩa mũiganĩru wa betha, kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre. Rĩu nĩrĩo iruta rĩa ihĩtia.
16 And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.
No nginya arĩhe irĩhi nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũrĩa aagĩte kũhingia ũkoniĩ indo iria nyamũre, na ongerere gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithano gĩa thogora wa kĩndũ kĩu ararĩha, na acinengere mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ciothe, ũrĩa ũkamũhoroheria na ndũrũme ĩyo ya iruta rĩa mahĩtia, nake nĩakarekerwo.
17 And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.
“Mũndũ angĩĩhia eke ũndũ ũrĩa mũkananie thĩinĩ wa maathani mothe ma Jehova o na angĩkorwo ndaraũmenya-rĩ, nĩagacookererwo nĩ mahĩtia macio ekĩte.
18 Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.
Nĩakarehera mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ndũrũme ya iruta rĩa mahĩtia kuuma rũũru-inĩ, ndũrũme ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ na ya thogora ũrĩa wagĩrĩire. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaahoroheria mũndũ ũcio nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia marĩa ekĩte atekwenda, nake nĩakarekerwo.
19 It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.
Rĩu nĩrĩo iruta rĩa mahĩtia; ti-itherũ mũndũ ũcio nĩahĩtĩirie Jehova.”
