Leviticus 23
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ ciakwa iria ciathanĩtwo, o iria ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova, iria mũkaahunjanĩria ũhoro wacio atĩ nĩ ciũngano theru.
3 Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
“‘Kũrĩ na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa mũngĩruta wĩra, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ ya kũhurũka, mũthenya wa kĩũngano gĩtheru. Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ; kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, ĩyo nĩ Thabatũ ya Jehova.
4 These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons.
“‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ iria ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova, nĩcio ciũngano iria theru, iria mũrĩhunjanagĩria mahinda ma cio makinya.
5 The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord:
Bathaka ya Jehova ĩrĩambagĩrĩria hwaĩ-inĩ kwaira, mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere.
6 And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano, wa mweri ũcio nĩguo gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia kĩrĩambagĩrĩria, na kwa ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja no nginya mũrĩĩage mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia.
7 The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein:
Mũthenya wa mbere mũgĩe na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
8 But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.
Mĩthenya mũgwanja rutagĩrai Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki. Na mũthenya wa mũgwanja, mũgĩage na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.’”
9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
10 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũcio ngũmũhe na mũgethe magetha maguo, nĩmũkarehere mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩohe kĩa mbere kĩa ngano ĩrĩa mũkaagetha.
11 Who shall lift up the shed before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
Nake athũngũthie kĩohe kĩu mbere ya Jehova nĩguo gĩĩtĩkĩrĩke handũ-inĩ hanyu; mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agagĩthũngũthia mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ.
12 And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.
Mũthenya ũcio mũgaathũngũthia kĩohe kĩu, no nginya mũkaarutĩra Jehova iruta rĩa njino rĩa gatũrũme ka ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe gatarĩ na kaũũgũ,
13 And the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of hour tempered with oil for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour: libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
hamwe na iruta rĩarĩo rĩa mũtu wa gĩthimi gĩa icunjĩ igĩrĩ cia ikũmi cia eba ĩmwe ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũtukanĩtio na maguta, nĩrĩo iruta rĩrutĩirwo Jehova rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega, na iruta rĩa kũnyuuo, rĩrĩ gacunjĩ kamwe ka inya ka hini ĩmwe ya ndibei.
14 You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.
Mũtikanarĩe mũgate o na ũrĩkũ, kana ngano ya kũhĩĩhio, kana ya mũgethano, o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa mũkaarehera Ngai wanyu iruta rĩĩrĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ ũtuĩke watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya kũrĩ njiarwa iria igooka, kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
15 You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks.
“‘Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ, mũthenya ũrĩa mwatwarire kĩohe kĩa iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio, mũgatara ciumia ingĩ mũgwanja.
16 Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days, and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.
Mũtare matukũ mĩrongo ĩtano kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ ya kũhingithia mũgwanja, mũcooke mũrutĩre Jehova iruta rĩa mũtu wa ngano ya mũgethano.
17 Out of all your dwellings, two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.
Kuuma kũrĩa guothe mũtũũraga, mũrehe mĩgate ĩĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na tũcunjĩ twĩrĩ twa ikũmi twa eba ĩmwe ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, ĩrugĩtwo na ndawa ya kũimbia, ĩtuĩke ya iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio rĩa maciaro ma mbere marutĩirwo Jehova.
18 And you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord.
Rutanĩriai mĩgate ĩyo na tũtũrũme mũgwanja, o kamwe karĩ na ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, na tũtarĩ na kaũũgũ, na gategwa kamwe, na ndũrũme igĩrĩ. Nacio igaatuĩka iruta rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova, hamwe na maruta macio ma mũtu na ma kũnyuuo, rĩĩrĩ nĩ iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
19 You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.
Mũcooke mũrute thenge ĩmwe ya igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na tũtũrũme twĩrĩ, o kamwe karĩ na ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, twa iruta rĩa ũiguano.
20 And when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagathũngũthia tũtũrũme tũu tweerĩ mbere ya Jehova, tũtuĩke iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio, hamwe na mĩgate ĩyo ya maciaro ma mbere. Macio nĩ maruta matheru marutĩirwo Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
21 And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio, nĩmũkahunjanĩria kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga. Ũyũ nĩguo ũgaatuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka, o kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
22 And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain; but you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.
“‘Rĩrĩa mũkaagetha irio bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, mũtikanagethe nginya ndeere-inĩ cia mĩgũnda yanyu, o na mũtikanonganie rũitĩki rwa magetha manyu. Rũtigagĩriei andũ arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa ageni. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
24 Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with she sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mũgwanja-rĩ, nĩmũrĩgĩaga na mũthenya wa kũhurũka, kĩũngano gĩtheru, na ũririkanagwo na ũndũ wa kũhuha tũrumbeta.
25 You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
Mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga, no mũrutagĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki.’”
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
27 Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement, it shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
“Mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri ũyũ wa mũgwanja, nĩguo Mũthenya wa Kũhoroherio Mehia. Mũgĩage na kĩũngano gĩtheru na mwĩimage irio, na mũrutagĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki.
28 You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.
Mũtikanarute wĩra mũthenya ũcio, tondũ nĩguo Mũthenya wa Kũhoroherio Mehia, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũrahoroherio mehia mbere ya Jehova-Ngai wanyu.
29 Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people:
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũtakeima irio mũthenya ũcio nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
30 And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.
Mũndũ o wothe ũkaaruta wĩra mũthenya ũcio nĩngamũniina kuuma thĩinĩ wa andũ ao.
31 You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings.
Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ. Ũyũ ũgũtuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka, o kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
32 It is a sabbath of rest, and you shell afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.
Ĩyo nĩ Thabatũ yanyu ya kũhurũka, na no nginya mwĩime irio. Kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri o ro ũcio nginya hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ, nĩmũrĩmenyagĩrĩra Thabatũ yanyu.”
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
34 Say to the children of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month, shall be kept the feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa mũgwanja nĩguo Gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova gĩa Ithũnũ gĩkaambĩrĩria, na gĩgaaikara mĩthenya mũgwanja.
35 The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord.
Mũthenya wa mbere nĩ wa kĩũngano gĩtheru; mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
36 The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord: for it is the day of assembly and congregation: you shall do no servile work therein.
Mĩthenya mũgwanja mũkaarutagĩra Jehova maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki, naguo mũthenya wa ĩnana-rĩ, mũgĩe na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũrutĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki. Mũthenya ũcio nĩguo wa kũhinga kĩũngano; mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord, holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day,
(“‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ cia Jehova iria ciathanĩtwo, iria mũkaahunjanĩria irĩ ciũngano theru cia kũrehere Jehova maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki, na nĩmo maruta ma njino, na maruta ma mũtu, na magongona na maruta ma kũnyuuo marĩa marĩbataranagia o mũthenya.
38 Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.
Maruta maya nĩ ma kuongererwo harĩ marĩa mangĩ ma Thabatũ cia Jehova na nyongerera ya iheo cianyu na kĩrĩa gĩothe mwĩranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa, na maruta mothe ma kwĩyendera marĩa mũrutagĩra Jehova.)
39 So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days: on the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath, that is a day of rest.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kwambĩrĩria mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa mũgwanja, mwarĩkia kũgetha irio bũrũri-inĩ, nĩ mũgaakũngũĩra gĩathĩ kĩu kĩa Jehova mĩthenya mũgwanja. Mũthenya wa mbere nĩ wa kũhurũka, na mũthenya wa ĩnana o naguo no wa kũhurũka.
40 And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
Mũthenya wa mbere nĩmũkooya maciaro marĩa mega mũno ma mĩtĩ, na mathĩgĩ ma mĩtende, na honge cia mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ na mathangũ maingĩ, na cia mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩmeraga tũrũũĩ-inĩ, na mũkene mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
41 And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.
Kũngũyagĩrai ũndũ ũyũ arĩ gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova mĩthenya mũgwanja o mwaka. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũtuĩke watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka; kũngũyagĩrai ũndũ ũcio mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja.
42 And you shall dwell in bowers seven days: every one that is of the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles:
Ikaragai ithũnũ-inĩ mĩthenya mũgwanja. Andũ a Isiraeli arĩa othe maciarĩirwo Isiraeli magaaikaraga ithũnũ-inĩ,

44 And Moses spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩanĩrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ũhoro wa ciathĩ icio ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova.
