< Leviticus 24 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.
“Atha andũ a Isiraeli makũrehere maguta marĩa makeere wega ma ndamaiyũ hihe ma gũkũheaga ũtheri, nĩgeetha matawa maikarage maakanĩte hĩndĩ ciothe.
3 From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps continually before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
Nja ya gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira o kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo-rĩ, Harũni nĩamenyagĩrĩre matawa macio mbere ya Jehova kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ o nginya rũciinĩ, hĩndĩ ciothe. Ũndũ ũyũ ũgaatuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra wa njiarwa iria igooka.
4 He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
Matawa macio marĩ mbere ya Jehova, o macio maigĩrĩirwo mũtĩ-inĩ wa matawa wa thahabu ĩrĩa therie no nginya mamenyagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe.
5 Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.
“Oya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, ũthondeke mĩgate ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, o mũgate ũmwe ũrugwo na tũcunjĩ twĩrĩ twa ikũmi twa eba ĩmwe.
6 Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.
Ũcooke ũmĩare mĩhari ĩĩrĩ, o mũhari mĩgate ĩtandatũ, ũmĩigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa metha ya thahabu therie hau mbere ya Jehova.
7 Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.
Na o mũhari-inĩ nĩhaigwo ũbani ũrĩa mũtherie ũtuĩke gĩcunjĩ gĩa kĩririkano ũrũgamĩrĩire mĩgate ĩyo, na ũtuĩke iruta rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova na mwaki.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.
Mĩgate ĩyo nĩ ĩigagwo mbere ya Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe, o Thabatũ o Thabatũ, ĩrũgamagĩrĩre andũ a Isiraeli, ĩtuĩke kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra.
9 It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
Mĩgate ĩyo nĩ ya Harũni na ariũ ake, nao mamĩrĩagĩre handũ hatheru, nĩ tondũ mĩgate ĩyo nĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩtheru mũno harĩ rwĩga rwao rwa maruta marĩa marutĩirwo Jehova ma gũcinwo na mwaki.”
10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite.
Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wa mũtumia Mũisiraeli, no ithe aarĩ Mũmisiri, nĩathiire gũceerera andũ a Isiraeli, nake mũndũ ũcio na Mũisiraeli makĩrũa marĩ kũu kambĩ.
11 The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.)
Ũcio mũrũ wa mũtumia Mũisiraeli nĩarumire Rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai na kĩrumi; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũtwarĩra Musa. (Nyina wa mũndũ ũcio eetagwo Shelomithu, mwarĩ wa Dibiri ũrĩa Mũdani.)
12 They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
Makĩmũikia thĩinĩ, makĩmũrangĩra nginya rĩrĩa mangĩamenyire wega wendi wa Jehova.
13 The Lord told Moses,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
14 “Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death.
“Twara mũrumani ũcio nja ya kambĩ. Andũ arĩa othe maamũiguire akĩrumana mamũigĩrĩre moko mũtwe, nakĩo kĩũngano gĩothe kĩmũhũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
15 Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.
Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkaaruma Ngai wake, no nginya agaacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio ekĩte:
16 Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must to be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkaaruma rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova no nginya akooragwo. Kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli no nginya gĩkaamũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Aakorwo arĩ mũgeni kana arĩ mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, rĩrĩa akaaruma Rĩĩtwa rĩu rĩa Jehova, no nginya akooragwo.
17 Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
“‘Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkooraga mũndũ ũngĩ, no nginya nake akooragwo.
18 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩũraga nyamũ ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, no nginya akaamĩrĩha, nyamũ ĩrĩhwo na nyamũ ĩngĩ.
19 If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩgatiihia ũrĩa ũngĩ, o ũrĩa ekanĩte no nginya nake ekwo o ũguo:
20 a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them.
Mũndũ oina mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ihĩndĩ, nake akoinwo ihĩndĩ, riitho rĩrĩhagio na riitho, igego rĩrĩhagio na igego. O ũrĩa mũndũ atiihĩtie mũndũ ũngĩ, o nake atiihio o ro ũguo.
21 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkooraga nyamũ nĩakamĩrĩha, no ũrĩa ũkooraga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ no nginya akooragwo.
22 The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
Mũrĩkoragwo na watho o ro ũmwe ũkoniĩ mũgeni na mũndũ ũrĩa ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
23 Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.
Nake Musa akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli, nao magĩtwara mũndũ ũcio warumĩte Ngai nja ya kambĩ, makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
