< Leviticus 16 >

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses—this was after the death of Aaron's two sons, when they had gone near to Yahweh and then died.
Nake Jehova akĩarĩria Musa thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa ariũ arĩa eerĩ a Harũni arĩa maakuire rĩrĩa mookire magĩkuhĩrĩria mbere ya Jehova.
2 Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron your brother and tell him not to come at just any time into the most holy place inside the curtain, before the atonement lid that is on the ark. If he does, he will die, because I appear in the cloud over the atonement lid.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ: “Ĩra mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni ndagatoonyage o rĩrĩa enda Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, hau thuutha wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuuria kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya gĩtĩ gĩa tha kĩrĩa kĩrĩ igũrũ wa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro ndakae gũkua, tondũ hau nĩho ndĩyumagĩria ndĩ thĩinĩ wa itu hau igũrũ wa gĩtĩ gĩa tha.
3 So here is how Aaron must come into the most holy place. He must enter with a young bull as a sin offering, and a ram as a burnt offering.
“Ũũ nĩguo Harũni arĩĩtoonyaga harĩa haamũre: arĩĩtoonyaga na gategwa ka iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na ndũrũme ĩmwe ya iruta rĩa njino.
4 He must put on the holy linen tunic, and he must put the linen undergarments on himself, and he must wear the linen sash and linen turban. These are the holy garments. He must bathe his body in water and then dress himself with these clothes.
Nĩarĩhumbaga kanjũ ya gatani ĩrĩa nyamũre, na thuruarĩ cia thĩinĩ cia gatani iriganie na mwĩrĩ wake, nĩarĩĩhotoraga mũcibi ũrĩa wa gatani, na akeoha kĩremba kĩrĩa gĩa gatani. Icio nĩcio nguo iria nyamũre; nĩ ũndũ ũcio no nginya ethambe na maaĩ mbere ya gũciĩhumba.
5 He must take from the assembly of the people of Israel two male goats as a sin offering and one ram as a burnt offering.
Nĩakoya thenge igĩrĩ cia iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na ndũrũme ya iruta rĩa njino kuuma kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli.
6 Then Aaron must present the bull as the sin offering, which will be for himself, to make atonement for himself and his family.
“Harũni nĩakaruta ndegwa ĩyo ĩrĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia make mwene nĩguo ehoroherie we mwene na nyũmba yake.
7 Then he must take the two goats and set them before Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Ningĩ nĩakoya thenge icio cierĩ acineane hau mbere ya Jehova itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
8 Then Aaron must cast lots for the two goats, one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
Nĩagacuukĩra thenge icio cierĩ mĩtĩ, ũmwe nĩ wa Jehova, naguo ũcio ũngĩ nĩ wa mbũri ya kũrekererio ĩkuuithĩtio mehia.
9 Aaron must then present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer that goat as a sin offering.
Harũni nĩakaruta thenge ĩrĩa ĩkaagũĩrwo nĩ mũtĩ wa mwena wa Jehova, amĩrute ĩrĩ igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
10 But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat must be brought alive before Yahweh, to make atonement by sending him away as a scapegoat into the wilderness.
No thenge ĩrĩa ĩkaagũĩrwo nĩ mũtĩ ĩtuĩke ya kũrekererio ĩkuuithĩtio mehia nĩĩkaneanwo mbere ya Jehova ĩrĩ muoyo, ĩtuĩke ya kũhorohanĩria, na ũndũ wa kũmĩrekereria ĩĩthiĩre werũ-inĩ, ĩrĩ yo ya kũrekererio ĩkuuithĩtio mehia.
11 Then Aaron must present the bull for the sin offering, which will be for himself. He must make atonement for himself and for his family, so he must kill the bull as a sin offering for himself.
“Harũni nĩakarehe ndegwa ĩyo ĩtuĩke ya iruta rĩa mehia make mwene, nĩguo ehoroherie we mwene na nyũmba yake, na nĩagathĩnja ndegwa ĩyo nĩ ũndũ wa iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia make mwene.
12 Aaron must take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, with his hands full of finely ground sweet incense, and bring these things inside the curtain.
Nĩakoya rũgĩo rwa ũbani rũiyũrĩtio makara ma mwaki marutĩtwo kĩgongona-inĩ mbere ya Jehova, na ngundi igĩrĩ cia ũbani mũhinyu ũrĩa ũtararĩkaga wega, na acitware na kũu thuutha wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio.
13 There he must put the incense on the fire before Yahweh so that the cloud from the incense may cover the atonement lid over the covenant decrees. He must do this so he will not die.
Nĩagekĩra ũbani ũcio mwaki-inĩ mbere ya Jehova, nayo ndogo ya ũbani ũcio nĩĩgathiĩka gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha, kĩu kĩrĩ igũrũ rĩa ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, nĩguo ndagakue.
14 Then he must take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the atonement lid. He must sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times before the atonement lid.
Ningĩ nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya ndegwa ĩyo na kĩara gĩake, amĩminjaminje mwena wa mbere wa gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha; ningĩ nĩakaminjaminja ĩmwe yayo na kĩara gĩake maita mũgwanja hau mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha.
15 Then he must kill the goat for the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood inside the curtain. There he must do with the blood as he did with the blood of the bull: He must sprinkle it on the atonement lid and then before the atonement lid.
“Ningĩ nĩagathĩnja thenge ĩrĩa ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia makoniĩ andũ acio, na atware thakame yayo thuutha wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio, eke nayo o ta ũrĩa eekire thakame ya ndegwa ĩyo: amĩminjaminje igũrũ rĩa gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha o na mbere yakĩo.
16 He must make atonement for the holy place because of the unclean actions of the people of Israel, and because of their rebellion and all their sins. He must also do this for the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lives among them, in the presence of their unclean actions.
Ũguo nĩguo akaahoroheria Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno tondũ wa thaahu na ũremi wa andũ a Isiraeli, kũringana na mehia mao mothe. Na ũguo noguo ageeka nĩ ũndũ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, ĩrĩa ĩrĩ gatagatĩ kao na thaahu wao.
17 No one must be in the tent of meeting when Aaron enters it to make atonement in the most holy place, and until he comes out and has finished making atonement for himself and for his family, and for all the assembly of Israel.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũgaakorwo thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo kuuma ihinda rĩrĩa Harũni agaathiĩ kũhoroheria Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akoima ho, arĩkĩtie kwĩhoroheria we mwene, na akahoroheria nyũmba yake na akahoroheria kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli.
18 He must go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and he must take some of the bull's blood and some of the goat's blood and put it on the horns of the altar all around.
“Ningĩ nĩakoima athiĩ kĩgongona-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hau mbere ya Jehova akĩhoroherie. Nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya ndegwa ĩyo, na thakame ĩmwe ya thenge, amĩhake hĩa ciothe cia kĩgongona kĩu.
19 He must sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and set it apart to Yahweh, away from the unclean actions of the people of Israel.
Nĩakaminjaminja thakame ĩmwe na kĩara gĩake igũrũ rĩakĩo maita mũgwanja, agĩtherie na akĩamũre nĩguo gĩthirwo nĩ thaahu wa andũ a Isiraeli.
20 When he has finished atoning for the most holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, he must present the live goat.
“Harũni aarĩkia kũhoroheria Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo na kĩgongona kĩu, nĩakarehe thenge ĩrĩa ĩrĩ muoyo.
21 Aaron must lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over him all the wickedness of the people of Israel, all their rebellion, and all their sins. Then he must put that sinfulness on the head of the goat and send the goat away in the care of a man who is ready to lead the goat into the wilderness.
Nĩakaigĩrĩra moko make meerĩ igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa thenge ĩyo ĩrĩ muoyo, na oimbũrĩre hau igũrũ rĩayo waganu wothe na ũremi wa andũ a Isiraeli, oimbũre mehia mao mothe, amacookererie igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wayo. Nĩakarekereria thenge ĩyo ĩĩthiĩre werũ-inĩ ĩmenyereirwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũthuurĩirwo wĩra ũcio.
22 The goat must carry on himself all the people's wickedness to a solitary place. There in the wilderness, the man must let the goat go free.
Thenge ĩyo nĩĩgakuuithio mehia mao mothe, ĩmatware kũndũ kũrĩa gũtatũũragwo nĩ Andũ; nake mũndũ ũcio nĩakarekereria thenge ĩyo na kũu werũ-inĩ.
23 Then Aaron must go back into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments that he had put on before going into the most holy place, and he must leave those garments there.
“Harũni nĩagacooka atoonye Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo arute nguo icio cia gatani iria eekĩrire mbere ya gũtoonya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, nake acitige kuo.
24 He must bathe his body in water in a holy place, and put on his normal garments; then he must go out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering for the people, and in this way make atonement for himself and for the people.
Nĩagethamba mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, arĩ handũ hatheru na acooke ehumbe nguo ciake cia ndũire. Acooke oime nja na erutĩre iruta rĩa njino nĩ ũndũ wake mwene, na arute iruta rĩa njino nĩ ũndũ wa andũ, nĩguo ehoroherie we mwene na ahoroherie andũ arĩa angĩ.
25 He must burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
Ningĩ nĩagacinĩra maguta ma iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona.
26 The man who let the scapegoat go free must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that, he may come back into the camp.
“Mũndũ ũcio ũrekagĩrĩria thenge ĩyo ya gũkuuithio mehia no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ; thuutha ũcio acooke atoonye kambĩ.
27 The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, must be carried outside the camp. There they must burn their hides, flesh, and dung.
Ndegwa ĩyo na thenge, iria cia iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, iria thakame yacio yatwarĩtwo Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno ya kũhorohanĩria, no nginya ciumio nja ya kambĩ; njũa ciacio na nyama, na mahu ciothe icinwo ihĩe biũ.
28 The man who burns those parts must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that, he may come back into the camp.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgacicina no nginya agaathambia nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ; thuutha ũcio no acooke atoonye kambĩ.
29 It will always be a statute for you that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you must humble yourselves and do no work, whether the native born or a foreigner who is living among you.
“Ũndũ ũyũ ũgũtuĩka watho mwandĩke wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ inyuĩ: Mũthenya wa ikũmi mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja no nginya mwĩimage irio, na mũtikarutage wĩra o na ũrĩkũ, arĩ mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu, kana arĩ mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ,
30 This is because on this day atonement will be made for you, to cleanse you from all your sins so you will be clean before Yahweh.
tondũ mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkahoroherio, nĩguo mũtherio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũgatherio kuuma kũrĩ mehia manyu mothe mũrĩ hau mbere ya Jehova.
31 It is a solemn Sabbath of rest for you, and you must humble yourselves and do no work. This will always be a statute among you.
Ĩyo nĩ Thabatũ ya kũhurũka, na no nginya mwĩimage irio; ũyũ nĩ watho mwandĩke wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe.
32 The high priest, the one who will be anointed and ordained to be high priest in his father's place, he must make this atonement and put on the linen garments, that is, the holy garments.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũitĩrĩrie maguta na akaamũrwo gũcooka ithenya rĩa ithe ta mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene nĩwe ũkaahoroheria andũ. Nĩakehumbaga nguo iria nyamũre cia gatani
33 He must make atonement for the most holy place; he must make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he must make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
na ahoroherie Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na kĩgongona, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na andũ othe a mũingĩ wa Isiraeli.
34 This will always be a statute for you, to make atonement for the people of Israel because of all their sins, once in every year.” This was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.
“Ũndũ ũyũ ũgũtuĩka watho mwandĩke wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ inyuĩ; horohio ĩrĩrutagwo riita rĩmwe o mwaka nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mothe ma andũ a Isiraeli.” Na gũgĩĩkwo o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkagwo.
