< Numbers 6 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman takes an oath to keep himself separate and give himself to the Lord;
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja angĩenda kwĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa wa mwanya, ũrĩ mwĩhĩtwa wa kwĩyamũrĩra Jehova atuĩke Mũnaziri,
3 He is to keep himself from wine and strong drink, and take no mixed wine or strong drink or any drink made from grapes, or any grapes, green or dry.
no nginya atige kũnyua ndibei o na indo iria ingĩ ngagatu cia kũnyua, na ndakananyue thiki ĩthondeketwo kuuma kũrĩ ndibei kana kĩndũ kĩngĩ kĩgagatu gĩa kũnyua. Ndakananyue maaĩ ma thabibũ, kana arĩe thabibũ, kana thabibũ iria nyũmithie.
4 All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe arĩkoragwo arĩ Mũnaziri, ndakanarĩe kĩndũ gĩa kuuma he mũthabibũ, irĩ mbegũ kana makoni.
5 All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.
“‘Ihinda rĩothe rĩa mwĩhĩtwa ũcio wa kwĩyamũra, ndakanenjwo mũtwe. No nginya aikarage arĩ mũtheru o nginya ihinda rĩake rĩa kwĩyamũrĩra Jehova rĩthire; no nginya areke njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wake ikũre iraihe.
6 All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.
Ihinda rĩu rĩothe eyamũrĩire Jehova ndakanakuhĩrĩrie kĩimba.
7 He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.
O na ithe, kana nyina, kana mũrũ wa nyina, kana mwarĩ wa nyina angĩkua, ndakanethaahie nĩ ũndũ wao, tondũ arĩ na rũũri rwa kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai mũtwe.
8 All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.
Ihinda rĩothe rĩa kwĩyamũra gwake arĩkoragwo aamũrĩirwo Jehova.
9 If death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.
“‘Mũndũ angĩkua gĩkuũ kĩa narua arĩ ho, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũthaahie njuĩrĩ ĩrĩa aamũrĩte, no nginya enjwo mũtwe mũthenya wake wa gũtherio, na nĩguo wa mũgwanja.
10 And on the eighth day let him take to the priest, at the door of the Tent of meeting, two doves or two young pigeons;
Ningĩ mũthenya wa ĩnana no nginya atware ndirahũgĩ igĩrĩ kana tũtutuura twĩrĩ harĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
11 And the priest will give one for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to take away the sin which came on him on account of the dead, and he will make his head holy that same day.
Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai arute ĩmwe ĩtuĩke igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, nayo ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩtuĩke nĩ iruta rĩa njino nĩguo ahoroherio, nĩ ũndũ nĩehĩtie nĩgũkorwo arĩ hamwe na kĩimba. Mũthenya o ro ũcio no nginya aamũrĩre Jehova mũtwe wake rĩngĩ.
12 And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.
No nginya eyamũrĩre Jehova ihinda rĩu rĩa kwĩyamũra, na no nginya arute gatũrũme ka mwaka ũmwe gatuĩke ka igongona rĩa mahĩtia. Mĩthenya ĩrĩa mĩhĩtũku ndĩgũtarwo, tondũ nĩathaahirio ihinda rĩrĩa eyaamũrĩte.
13 And this is the law for him who is separate, when the necessary days are ended: he is to come to the door of the Tent of meeting,
“‘Na rĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo watho wa Mũnaziri ihinda rĩake rĩa kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai rĩathira. Nĩakarehwo itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
14 And make his offering to the Lord; one he-lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a burned offering, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a sin-offering, and one male sheep, without a mark, for peace-offerings,
Hau nĩho akaarehe maruta make harĩ Jehova, namo nĩ: gatũrũme ka mwaka ũmwe gatarĩ na kaũũgũ gatuĩke ka iruta rĩa njino, na kamwatĩ ka mwaka ũmwe karĩ igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia, na ndũrũme ĩmwe ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ ĩrĩ iruta rĩa ũiguano,
15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.
hamwe na maruta ma mũtu na maruta ma kũnyuuo, na gĩkabũ kĩa mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, na keki cia mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũtukanĩtio na maguta, na tũmĩgate tũhũthũ tũhakĩtwo maguta.
16 And the priest will take them before the Lord, and make his sin-offering and his burned offering;
“‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaiga indo icio mbere ya Jehova, na acooke arute igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia o na iruta rĩa njino.
17 Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.
Nĩakarehe gĩkabũ kĩu kĩa mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩimbie na arute ndũrũme ĩyo ĩrĩ igongona rĩa ũiguano kũrĩ Jehova, hamwe na igongona rĩayo rĩa mũtu na rĩa indo cia kũnyuuo.
18 Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.
“‘Ningĩ hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, Mũnaziri no nginya enjwo njuĩrĩ ĩrĩa aamũrĩte. Nĩakoya njuĩrĩ ĩyo na amĩikie mwaki-inĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ rungu rwa igongona rĩu rĩa ũiguano.
19 And the priest will take the cooked leg of the sheep and one unleavened cake and one thin cake out of the basket, and put them on the hands of the separate one after his hair has been cut,
“‘Thuutha wa Mũnaziri ũcio kwenjwo njuĩrĩ yake ya kwĩyamũra, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩ akoya kĩande gĩtherũkĩtio kĩa ndũrũme ĩyo, na keki na tũmĩgate tũrĩa tũhũthũ kuuma gĩkabũ-inĩ kĩu, cierĩ itarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia.
20 Waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the priest, together with the waved breast and the leg which is lifted up; after that, the man may take wine.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acooke acithũngũthie mbere ya Jehova, ituĩke igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio; nĩ nyamũre, na nĩ cia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, hamwe na gĩthũri kĩrĩa gĩthũngũthĩtio, o na kĩero kĩrĩa kĩrutĩtwo. Thuutha ũcio Mũnaziri no anyue ndibei.
21 This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.
“‘Ũcio nĩguo watho wa Mũnaziri ũrĩa wĩhĩtaga kũrutĩra Jehova indo kũringana na ũrĩa eyaamũrĩte, hamwe na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ gĩothe angĩhota kũruta. No nginya ahingie mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa ehĩtĩte, kũringana na watho wa Mũnaziri.’”
22 And the Lord said to Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
23 Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,
“Ĩra Harũni na ariũ ake atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo mũrĩrathimaga andũ a Isiraeli. Meragei atĩrĩ:
24 May the Lord send his blessing on you and keep you:
“‘“Jehova arokũrathima, na akũmenyagĩrĩre;
25 May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace:
Jehova arotũma ũthiũ wake ũkwarĩre, na agũkinyagĩrie wega wake;
26 May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace.
Jehova arogũtiirĩra gĩthiithi gĩake, na akũhe thayũ.”’
27 So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmarĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na niĩ nĩndĩĩmarathimaga.”
