Leviticus 17
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: 'This is the thing which the LORD has commanded,
“Arĩria Harũni, na ariũ ake na andũ othe a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova aathanĩte:
3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,
Mũndũ o wothe Mũisiraeli ũrĩĩrutaga igongona rĩa ndegwa, kana rĩa gatũrũme, kana rĩa mbũri thĩinĩ wa kambĩ kana nja ya kambĩ,
4 and hasn't brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, so as to sacrifice it for a burnt offering or peace offering to the LORD to be acceptable as a soothing aroma, and whoever shall kill it outside, and shall not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD, blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.
handũ ha kũrĩrehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, arĩrute rĩrĩ igongona rĩa kũrutĩrwo Jehova hau mbere ya Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩagatuuo arĩ na mahĩtia ma gũita thakame; mũndũ ũcio nĩaitĩte thakame, na no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.
Ũndũ ũyũ nĩwagũtũma andũ a Isiraeli matwaragĩre Jehova magongona marĩa rĩu mararutĩrwo werũ-inĩ. No nginya mamarehagĩre mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũguo nĩ kuuga kũrĩ Jehova, hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, marutwo marĩ maruta ma ũiguano.
6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaminjaminja thakame kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na acine maguta marĩ mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.'
Matikanacooke o na rĩ kũruta magongona mao o na marĩkũ kũrĩ mĩhianano ya mbũri ĩrĩa mahũũraga ũmaraya nayo. Ũyũ nĩ watho mwandĩke wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe kũrĩ o, na kũrĩ njiarwa iria igooka.’
8 "You shall say to them, 'Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
“Meere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũisiraeli o wothe, kana mũgeni o na ũrĩkũ ũtũũranagia nao, ũkaaruta iruta rĩa njino, kana arute igongona,
9 and doesn't bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to the LORD; that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 "'Any man of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn among you, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
“‘Mũisiraeli wothe kana mũgeni o wothe ũtũũranagia nao ũkaarĩa thakame o yothe, nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio ũrĩĩte thakame, na nĩngamũingata kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
Nĩgũkorwo muoyo wa kĩũmbe ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa thakame, na nĩyo ndĩmũheete mwĩhorohagĩrie nayo kĩgongona-inĩ; thakame nĩyo ĩhorohagĩria muoyo wa mũndũ.
12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, "No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngwĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrĩa thakame, o na mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ ndakanarĩe thakame.”
13 "'Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn among you, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
“‘Mũisiraeli o wothe, kana mũgeni o wothe ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ, ũkaaguĩma nyamũ kana nyoni o yothe ĩngĩrĩĩo, no nginya agaita thakame yayo thĩ, acooke amĩthike na tĩĩri,
14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, "You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off."
tondũ muoyo wa kĩũmbe gĩothe nĩ thakame yakĩo. Nĩkĩo njĩrĩĩte andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanarĩe thakame ya kĩũmbe o gĩothe, tondũ muoyo wa kĩũmbe nĩ thakame yakĩo; mũndũ o wothe ũngĩmĩrĩa no nginya aingatwo.”
15 "'Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.
“‘Mũndũ o wothe, arĩ wa gũciarĩrwo bũrũri wanyu kana arĩ mũgeni, angĩkaarĩa nyamũ ĩkuĩte kana ĩtambuurangĩtwo nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka-rĩ, no nginya agaathambia nguo ciake na ethambe na maaĩ, na atiinde na thaahu nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ; thuutha ũcio nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu.
16 But if he doesn't wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.'"
No angĩkaaga gũthambia nguo ciake na aage gwĩthamba-rĩ, nĩagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio wake.’”
