Leviticus 19
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: You are holy, because I, your God YHWH, [am] holy.
“Arĩria kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩkai atheru tondũ niĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu, ndĩ mũtheru.
3 You each fear his mother and his father, and you keep My Sabbaths; I [am] your God YHWH.
“‘O mũndũ wanyu no nginya atĩĩe nyina na ithe, na no nginya mũrũmagie Thabatũ ciakwa. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
4 You do not turn to the idols, and you do not make a molten god for yourselves; I [am] your God YHWH.
“‘Mũtikanandirike, mũhooyage mĩhianano kana mwĩthondekere ngai cia kĩgera gĩtweketio. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
5 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you sacrifice it at your pleasure;
“‘Rĩrĩa mũkũrutĩra Jehova igongona rĩa ũiguano, rĩrutagei na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩtũma igongona rĩu rĩanyu rĩĩtĩkĩrĩke.
6 it is eaten in the day of your sacrificing [it], and on the next day, and that which is left to the third day is burned with fire,
Igongona rĩu mũrĩrĩĩage o mũthenya ũcio rĩarutwo, kana mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ; kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩa rĩo kĩngĩtigara gĩkinyie mũthenya wa gatatũ, no nginya gĩcinwo kĩhĩe biũ.
7 and if it is really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,
Kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩarĩo kĩngĩkaarĩĩo mũthenya wa gatatũ, igongona rĩu ti rĩtheru na rĩtigetĩkĩrwo.
8 and he who is eating it bears his iniquity, for he has defiled the holy thing of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from his people.
Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩrĩa mũthenya wa gatatũ, nĩagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio ekĩte, tondũ nĩathaahĩtie kĩndũ kĩarutĩirwo Jehova kĩrĩ gĩtheru; mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
9 And in your reaping the harvest of your land you do not completely reap the corner of your field, and you do not gather the gleaning of your harvest,
“‘Rĩrĩa mũkũgetha irio bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, mũtikanagethe nginya ndeere-inĩ cia mĩgũnda yanyu, o na mũtikanonganie rũitĩki rwa magetha manyu.
10 and you do not glean your vineyard, even the omitted part of your vineyard you do not gather, you leave them for the poor and for the sojourner; I [am] your God YHWH.
Mũtigacookage rĩngĩ kũhaara mĩgũnda-inĩ yanyu ya mĩthabibũ, o na mũtikahaarage thabibũ iria igũĩte thĩ. Citigagĩriei andũ arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa ageni. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
11 You do not steal, nor feign, nor lie—each against his fellow.
“‘Mũtikanaiye. “‘Mũtikanaheenanie. “‘Mũndũ ndakanaheenie ũrĩa ũngĩ.
12 And you do not swear by My Name for falsehood, or you have defiled the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Mũtikanehĩte na maheeni mũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthaahie rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
13 You do not oppress your neighbor, nor take plunder; the wages of the hired worker do not remain with you until morning.
“‘Mũtikaheenie mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, muoe indo ciake kana mũmũtunye indo ciake. “‘Mũtikanaikarie mũcaara wa mũruti wa wĩra ũkinyie rũciũ.
14 You do not revile the deaf; and you do not put a stumbling block before the blind; and you have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Mũtikanarume mũndũ ũtaiguaga, kana mũigĩre mũtumumu kĩndũ gĩa kũmũhĩnga, no mwĩtigagĩrei Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
15 You do not do perversity in judgment; you do not lift up the face of the poor, nor honor the face of the great; you judge your fellow in righteousness.
“‘Mũtikanoogomie kĩhooto; ndũkanacaĩre mũndũ tondũ nĩ mũthĩĩni kana mũndũ mũnene ũrĩ igweta, no tuagĩrai mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ciira na kĩhooto.
16 You do not go slandering among your people; you do not stand against the blood of your neighbor; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Mũtikanorũũre mũgĩcambanagia gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ anyu. “‘Mũtikaneke ũndũ ũngĩrehere mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ũgwati. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
17 You do not hate your brother in your heart; you certainly reprove your fellow, and do not permit sin on him.
“‘Ndũkanathũũre mũrũ wa thoguo ngoro-inĩ yaku. Kaanagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ maũndũ ũtekũhithĩrĩra nĩgeetha ndũkanagwatanĩre nake mahĩtia-inĩ make.
18 You do not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of your people; and you have had love for your neighbor as yourself; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Ndũkanerĩhĩrie kana ũtume mũndũ wanyu ũthũ, no endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
19 You keep My statutes. You do not cause your livestock to mate [with] two kinds; you do not sow your field with two kinds; and a garment of two kinds, mixed material, does not go up on you.
“‘Rũmagiai uuge wakwa. “‘Ndũkanaciarithanie nyamũ itarĩ cia kĩruka kĩmwe. “‘Ndũkanahaande mũgũnda waku mbeũ mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ. “‘Ndũkanehumbe nguo ĩtumĩtwo na ndigi mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ ĩtahaanaine.
20 And when a man lies with a woman with seed [from] intercourse, and she [is] a maidservant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom has not been given to her, there is an investigation; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũndũ-wa-nja ngombo, nake aakorwo nĩmũũrie nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ, no ndakũũrĩtwo kana akarekererio, no nginya maherithio ta ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire. No matikooragwo, tondũ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ndatigĩte gũtuĩka ngombo.
21 And he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,
Nake mũndũ mũrũme ũcio-rĩ, no nginya arute ndũrũme, amĩtware itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo ĩtuĩke iruta rĩa kũrutĩrwo Jehova rĩa kũhoroherio mahĩtia.
22 and the priest has made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before YHWH, for his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him because of his sin which he has sinned.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakahoroheria mũndũ ũcio na ndũrũme ĩyo ya iruta rĩa mahĩtia, ĩrutĩrwo hau mbere ya Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩhia rĩu ehĩtie, nake nĩakarekerwo rĩĩhia rĩake.
23 And when you come into the land and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then you have reckoned its fruit as uncircumcised, it is uncircumcised to you [for] three years, it is not eaten,
“‘Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũcio wa Kaanani, na mũhaande mĩtĩ ya mĩthemba yothe ĩciaraga maciaro-rĩ, nĩ mũgaatua atĩ maciaro macio marĩ na thaahu. Ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩtatũ nĩmũkamatua atĩ marĩ na thaahu, na matikanarĩĩo.
24 and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy—praises for YHWH.
Mwaka wa kana, maciaro mothe mayo nĩmagatuĩka matheru, matuĩke maruta ma kũgoocithia Jehova.
25 And in the fifth year you eat its fruit—to add to you its increase; I [am] your God YHWH.
No mwaka wa gatano, no mũrĩe maciaro mayo. Ũguo nĩguo magetha manyu makoongerereka. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
26 You do not eat with the blood. You do not enchant, nor observe clouds.
“‘Mũtikanarĩe nyama ĩrĩ na thakame thĩinĩ wayo. “‘Mũtigekage maũndũ ma kũragũra kana ma kũrogana.
27 You do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of your beard.
“‘Mũtikanenje njuĩrĩ cianyu thikĩrĩrio-inĩ kana mũrenge mĩthia ya nderu cianyu.
28 And you do not put a cutting for the soul in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, you do not put on yourself; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Mũtikanetemange mĩĩrĩ yanyu nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa akuũ, kana mwĩkĩre marũũri mĩĩrĩ-inĩ yanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
29 You do not defile your daughter to cause her to go whoring, that the land does not go whoring, and the land has been full of wickedness.
“‘Ndũkanaagithie mwarĩguo gĩtĩĩo na ũndũ wa kũmũrekereria atuĩke mũmaraya, kana ũndũ ũcio ũtũme bũrũri ũgarũrũkĩre ũmaraya, na ũiyũrwo nĩ waganu.
30 You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Menyagĩrĩrai Thabatũ ciakwa, na mũtĩĩage handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
31 You do not turn to those having familiar spirits, and you do not seek for wizards, to become unclean by them; I [am] your God YHWH.
“‘Mũtikanatuĩrie maũndũ kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩ maroho ma kũragũra kana arogi, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakamũgwatia thaahu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
32 You rise up at the presence of grey hairs, and you have honored the presence of an old man, and have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Rũgamagĩrai andũ arĩa akũrũ, mũmatĩĩage; heagai andũ arĩa akũrũ gĩtĩĩo, na mwĩtigagĩre Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
33 And when a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you do not oppress him;
“‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgeni aatũũrania na inyuĩ bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, mũtikanamwĩke ũũru.
34 the sojourner who is sojourning with you is to you as a native among you, and you have had love for him as for yourself, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.
Mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ no nginya atuagwo taarĩ mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu. Mwendei ta ũrĩa mwĩendete inyuĩ ene, nĩgũkorwo o na inyuĩ mwarĩ ageni bũrũri wa Misiri. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
35 You do not do perversity in the judgment, in the measure, in the weight, and in the liquid measure;
“‘Mũtikahũthagĩre ithimi itarĩ cia kĩhooto rĩrĩa mũgũthima ũraihu, kana ũritũ, kana ũingĩ.
36 you have righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin; I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Hũthagĩrai ithimi cia kĩhooto, na mahiga ma gũthima ma kĩhooto, na eba ya kĩhooto, na hini ya kĩhooto. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.
37 and you have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] YHWH.”
“‘Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa cia watho ciothe na mawatho makwa mothe, na mũmarũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
