Leviticus 22
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow to me: I am the LORD.
“Ĩra Harũni na ariũ ake matĩĩage maruta marĩa matheru marĩa andũ a Isiraeli maanyamũrĩire, nĩgeetha matikanathaahie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
3 Say to them, Whoever he may be of all your seed among your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
“Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Njiarwa iria igooka thuutha, mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa njiaro cianyu angĩgakorwo ethaahĩtie, nake akuhĩrĩrie maruta marĩa matheru marĩa andũ a Isiraeli maamũrĩire Jehova, mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo, ehere mbere yakwa. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
4 Whatever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And whoever toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
“‘Mũndũ wa njiaro cia Harũni angĩkorwo arĩ na mũrimũ wa ngoothi ũngĩgwatanio, kana mwĩrĩ wake ũkoira, ndakaarĩa indo iria theru irutĩtwo cia maruta, nginya agaathirwo nĩ thaahu. Ningĩ nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu angĩkaahutia kĩndũ gĩthaahie nĩ kĩimba, kana ahutie mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa uumĩtwo nĩ hinya wa arũme,
5 Or whoever toucheth any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he hath;
o na kana angĩhutia kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtambaga thĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩmũgwatia thaahu, kana ahutie mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩtũma anyiitwo nĩ thaahu, o na thaahu ũcio ũngĩkorwo nĩ ũrĩkũ.
6 The soul who hath touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he shall wash his flesh with water.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ ta kĩu nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Ndakanarĩe kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩa maruta marĩa maamũre, no akorirwo ethambĩte mwĩrĩ na maaĩ.
7 And when the sun is set, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
Riũa rĩathũa nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu, na thuutha ũcio no arĩe maruta marĩa maamũre, tondũ nĩcio irio ciake.
8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I am the LORD.
Ndakanarĩe nyama cia nyamũ ĩkuĩte, kana nyama cia nyamũ ĩtambuurĩtwo nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka, nĩguo ndakae gũthaahio nĩcio. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
9 They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD sanctifieth them.
“‘Athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmarũmagie mawatho makwa nĩgeetha matikahĩtagie, nao makue nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga gũtĩĩa mawatho macio. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmatheragia.
10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
“‘Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũtarĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrĩa maruta marĩa matheru, o na mũgeni wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, kana mũruti wa wĩra gwake o nao matigacirĩe.
11 But if the priest shall buy any person with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his food.
No mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai angĩgũra ngombo na mbeeca, kana ngombo ĩciarĩrwo gwake mũciĩ, ngombo ĩyo no ĩrĩe irio ciake.
12 If the priest’s daughter also shall be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
Mwarĩ wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai angĩhikio nĩ mũndũ ũtarĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ndakanarĩe kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩa maruta macio matheru.
13 But if the priest’s daughter shall be a widow, or divorced, and shall have no child, and have returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s food: but there shall no stranger eat of it.
No mwarĩ wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai angĩtuĩka mũtumia wa ndigwa, kana matigane na mũthuuriwe na ndarĩ ciana, nake acooke agaikare gwa ithe o ta rĩrĩa aarĩ mwĩthĩ, no arĩe irio icio nyamũre cia ithe. No mũndũ ũtetĩkĩrĩtio, ndakanarĩe kĩndũ o na kĩmwe gĩacio.
14 And if a man shall eat of the holy thing unknowingly, then he shall put to it the fifth part, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing.
“‘Mũndũ o wothe angĩrĩa maruta matheru atekũmenya, no nginya acookerie mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩndũ kĩu kĩamũre arĩĩte na ongerere gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatano gĩa thogora wakĩo.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD;
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai matikanathaahie maruta marĩa matheru marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marutagĩra Jehova,
16 Or allow them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD sanctifieth them.
na ũndũ wa kũmetĩkĩria marĩe maruta macio matheru, na ũguo ũtũme mũcookererwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mũngĩrĩhio. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmatheragia.’”
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to the LORD for a burnt offering;
“Arĩria Harũni na ariũ ake, na warĩrie andũ a Isiraeli othe, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wanyu, arĩ Mũisiraeli kana arĩ mũgeni ũtũũraga Isiraeli, angĩkaarutĩra Jehova kĩheo kĩa iruta rĩa njino nĩ ũndũ wa kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa, kana kĩrĩ kĩa iruta rĩa kwĩyendera,
19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats.
no nginya akaaruta njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ kuuma kũrĩ ngʼombe, kana ngʼondu, kana mbũri, nĩgeetha kĩheo kĩu gĩĩtĩkĩrĩke handũ-inĩ hanyu.
20 But whatever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Mũtikanarehe kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩrĩ na kaũũgũ, tondũ gĩtigeetĩkĩrĩka handũ-inĩ hanyu.
21 And whoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in cattle or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be in it no blemish.
Rĩrĩa mũndũ arĩĩrutaga kĩndũ kiumĩte rũrũ-inĩ rwake rwa ngʼombe kana rwa mbũri, kĩrĩ kĩa iruta rĩa ũiguano rĩa kũrutĩrwo Jehova, nĩguo ahingie mwĩhĩtwa wa mwanya, kana kĩa iruta rĩa kwĩyendera, no nginya gĩkoragwo gĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ kana kameni nĩguo gĩĩtĩkĩrĩke.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a running sore, or eczema, or scabs, ye shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the LORD.
Mũtikanarutĩre Jehova nyamũ ndumumu kana ndihie, kana ĩrathua, kana kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ na mbatata, kana kĩrĩ na ironda iratogota kana iroira. Mũtikanaigĩrĩre o na ĩmwe ya icio kĩgongona-inĩ ĩtuĩke ya iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki harĩ Jehova.
23 Either a bull or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
No rĩrĩ, no mũrute ndegwa, kana ngʼondu nyonju kana homu, ĩrĩ ya igongona rĩa kwĩyendera, no ĩyo ndĩngĩtĩkĩrwo ĩtuĩke ya kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa.
24 Ye shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering of it in your land.
Mũtikanarutĩre Jehova nyamũ ĩrĩa ĩtihĩtio nyee, kana ĩkamendereka, kana ndarũre, kana hakũre. Mũtikanarute magongona ta macio bũrũri-inĩ wanyu,
25 Neither from a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes are in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
na mũtikanamũkĩre nyamũ ta icio kuuma kũrĩ mũndũ mũgeni atĩ nĩguo mũcirute ituĩke irio cia Ngai wanyu. Nyamũ ta icio itingĩtĩkĩrĩka handũ-inĩ hanyu, nĩ ũndũ nĩ nyonju, na irĩ na ũũgũ.’”
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
27 When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the LORD.
“Rĩrĩa gacaũ, kana gatũrũme, kana koori gaaciarwo, karĩikaraga na nyina mĩthenya mũgwanja. Kuuma mũthenya wa kanana na thuutha ũcio, nĩgagetĩkĩrĩka gatuĩke iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki harĩ Jehova.
28 And whether it is cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
Mũtikanathĩnje ngʼombe kana ngʼondu hamwe na mwana wayo mũthenya ũmwe.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it at your own will.
“Rĩrĩa mũkũruta igongona rĩa gũcookeria Jehova ngaatho, rĩrutagei na njĩra ya gũtũma rĩtĩkĩrĩke nĩ ũndũ wanyu.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the next morning: I am the LORD.
No nginya rĩrĩĩo mũthenya o ro ũcio rĩarutwo; mũtikanatigie kĩndũ kĩarĩo gĩkinyie rũciinĩ. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
“Rũmagiai maathani makwa na mũmarũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who doth hallow you,
Mũtikanathaahie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru. No nginya andũ a Isiraeli mamenyage atĩ ndĩ mũtheru. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmũtheragia,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
na ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri nduĩke Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
