< Numbers 6 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A man or a woman, when they have made a vow so that they may be sanctified, and when they are willing to consecrate themselves 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 shall abstain from wine and from anything which is able to inebriate. They shall not drink vinegar made from wine or from any other drink, nor anything pressed from the grape. They shall not eat grapes, neither fresh nor dried.
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 During all the days that they are consecrated to the Lord by vow, they shall not eat whatever may be from the vineyard, from raisins, even to grape seeds.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe arĩkoragwo arĩ Mũnaziri, ndakanarĩe kĩndũ gĩa kuuma he mũthabibũ, irĩ mbegũ kana makoni.
5 During all the time of his separation, no razor shall pass over his head, even until the completion of the day when he is consecrated to the Lord. He shall be holy, letting the hair of his head grow long.
“‘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 During all the time of his consecration, he shall not enter because of a death,
Ihinda rĩu rĩothe eyamũrĩire Jehova ndakanakuhĩrĩrie kĩimba.
7 nor shall he contaminate himself, even over the funeral of his father, or his mother, or his brother, or his sister. For the consecration of his God is upon his head.
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 During all the days of his separation, he shall be holy to the Lord.
Ihinda rĩothe rĩa kwĩyamũra gwake arĩkoragwo aamũrĩirwo Jehova.
9 But if anyone will have died unexpectedly before him, the head of his consecration shall be polluted, and he shall shave it in that very place, on the same day of his purification, and again 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 Then, on the eighth day, he shall offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons, to the priest at the entrance to the covenant of the testimony.
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 shall effect one for sin, and the other as a holocaust, and he shall pray for him, because he has sinned on account of the dead. And he shall sanctify his head on that 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 shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, offering a one-year-old lamb for sin, yet in such a manner that the former days will be made null and void, because his sanctification was polluted.
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 This is the law of consecration. When the days that he had decreed by vow have been completed, he shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant,
“‘Na rĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo watho wa Mũnaziri ihinda rĩake rĩa kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai rĩathira. Nĩakarehwo itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
14 and he shall offer his oblation to the Lord: an immaculate one-year-old male lamb as a holocaust, and an immaculate one-year-old female lamb for sin, and an immaculate ram, a peace-offering victim,
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 also, a basket of unleavened bread, which has been sprinkled with oil, and cakes without leaven, anointed with oil, as well as the libations of each one.
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 shall offer them before the Lord, and he shall perform both the sin offering and the holocaust.
“‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaiga indo icio mbere ya Jehova, na acooke arute igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia o na iruta rĩa njino.
17 Yet truly, the ram he shall immolate as a peace-offering victim to the Lord, offering at the same time the basket of unleavened bread, and the libations which are required by custom.
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 the Nazarite shall be shaved of the long hair of his consecration, before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant. And he shall take his hair, and he shall place it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
“‘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 he shall take the cooked shoulder of the ram, and one twist of bread without leaven from the basket, and one unleavened cake, and he shall deliver them into the hands of the Nazarite, after his head has been shaven.
“‘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 And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate them in the sight of the Lord. And having been sanctified, these shall be for the priest, as also the breast, which was ordered to be separated, and the leg. After this, the Nazarite is able to drink 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 of the Nazarite, when he has vowed his oblation to the Lord in the time of his consecration, aside from those things which his hand shall find. According to what he had vowed in his mind, so shall he do, to the perfection of his sanctification.”
“‘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 spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
23 “Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
“Ĩra Harũni na ariũ ake atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo mũrĩrathimaga andũ a Isiraeli. Meragei atĩrĩ:
24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you.
“‘“Jehova arokũrathima, na akũmenyagĩrĩre;
25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you.
Jehova arotũma ũthiũ wake ũkwarĩre, na agũkinyagĩrie wega wake;
26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’
Jehova arogũtiirĩra gĩthiithi gĩake, na akũhe thayũ.”’
27 And they shall invoke my name over the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmarĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na niĩ nĩndĩĩmarathimaga.”
