< Leviticus 1 >

1 And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Nake Jehova agĩĩta Musa akĩmwarĩria arĩ Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you bring an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũndũ wanyu o na ũrĩkũ arĩĩrutagĩra Jehova iruta, nĩarehage maruta ma nyamũ kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwa ngʼombe o na kana rwa mbũri.
3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
“‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu nĩ iruta rĩa njino kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwa ngʼombe-rĩ, nĩarutage nyamũ ya njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ. No nginya amĩneane mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩgeetha etĩkĩrĩke harĩ Jehova.
4 And he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Mũndũ ũcio akaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino, nayo nĩĩgetĩkĩrwo handũ-inĩ hake, ĩtuĩke ya kũmũhoroheria.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Nake nĩagethĩnjĩra gategwa kau arĩ mbere ya Jehova, nao ariũ a Harũni arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai moe na marehe thakame yako, mamĩminjaminjĩrie kĩgongona mĩena yothe mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
Nĩakaruta nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino rũũa na amĩtinangie tũcunjĩ.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire:
Ariũ a Harũni ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmagaakia mwaki igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona na maare ngũ igũrũ rĩa mwaki ũcio.
8 And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:
Ningĩ ariũ a Harũni, acio athĩnjĩri-Ngai, matandaiye tũcunjĩ tũu twa gategwa, o ro hamwe na mũtwe na maguta, igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra hau kĩgongona-inĩ.
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD.
Ningĩ no nginya athambie nyama cia nda na mathagiro na maaĩ nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acicinĩre ciothe hau kĩgongona-inĩ. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
“‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino nĩ kuuma rũũru-inĩ, rĩrĩ iruta rĩa ngʼondu kana rĩa mbũri, akaaruta nyamũ ya njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about on the altar.
Nake akaamĩthĩnja arĩ mbere ya Jehova, hau mwena wa gathigathini wa kĩgongona, nao ariũ a Harũni, acio athĩnjĩri-Ngai, moe thakame yayo, mamĩminjaminjĩrie kĩgongona kĩu mĩena yothe.
12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:
Nĩagatinangia nyamũ ĩyo tũcunjĩ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atandaiye tũcunjĩ tũu twa nyamũ ĩyo, o ro hamwe na mũtwe na maguta, igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra hau kĩgongona-inĩ.
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it on the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD.
Ningĩ no nginya athambie nyama cia nda na mathagiro na maaĩ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai amĩrehe yothe na amĩcinĩre hau kĩgongona-inĩ. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
“‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino rĩa kũrutĩra Jehova nĩ rĩa nyoni-rĩ, akaaruta ndirahũgĩ, kana kĩana kĩa ndutura.
15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamĩrehe kĩgongona-inĩ, amĩthiore ngingo ĩtinĩke mũtwe, amĩcinĩre kĩgongona igũrũ; nayo thakame yayo ĩitwo hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona.
16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
No ambe arute kabutu kayo hamwe na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wako, agaikie mwena-inĩ wa irathĩro wa kĩgongona, harĩa mũhu ũitagwo.
17 And he shall split it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD.
Nĩakamĩatũrania, na ũndũ wa kũguucia mathagu atekũmĩtinania biũ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai amĩcinĩre igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
