Leviticus 22
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. 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 “Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. 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 “‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
“‘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 touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
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 person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in 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 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
Riũa rĩathũa nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu, na thuutha ũcio no arĩe maruta marĩa maamũre, tondũ nĩcio irio ciake.
8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by 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 follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
“‘Athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmarũmagie mawatho makwa nĩgeetha matikahĩtagie, nao makue nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga gũtĩĩa mawatho macio. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmatheragia.
10 “‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a 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 a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
No mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai angĩgũra ngombo na mbeeca, kana ngombo ĩciarĩrwo gwake mũciĩ, ngombo ĩyo no ĩrĩe irio ciake.
12 If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave 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 a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any 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 “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
“‘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 The priests 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 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
na ũndũ wa kũmetĩkĩria marĩe maruta macio matheru, na ũguo ũtũme mũcookererwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mũngĩrĩhio. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmatheragia.’”
17 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 is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they 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 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, 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 you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Mũtikanarehe kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩrĩ na kaũũgũ, tondũ gĩtigeetĩkĩrĩka handũ-inĩ hanyu.
21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
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 You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on 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 has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will 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 You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
Mũtikanarutĩre Jehova nyamũ ĩrĩa ĩtihĩtio nyee, kana ĩkamendereka, kana ndarũre, kana hakũre. Mũtikanarute magongona ta macio bũrũri-inĩ wanyu,
25 You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect 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 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
27 “When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of 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 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
Mũtikanathĩnje ngʼombe kana ngʼondu hamwe na mwana wayo mũthenya ũmwe.
29 “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
“Rĩrĩa mũkũruta igongona rĩa gũcookeria Jehova ngaatho, rĩrutagei na njĩra ya gũtũma rĩtĩkĩrĩke nĩ ũndũ wanyu.
30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
No nginya rĩrĩĩo mũthenya o ro ũcio rĩarutwo; mũtikanatigie kĩndũ kĩarĩo gĩkinyie rũciinĩ. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
31 “Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.
“Rũmagiai maathani makwa na mũmarũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy amongst the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy,
Mũtikanathaahie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru. No nginya andũ a Isiraeli mamenyage atĩ ndĩ mũtheru. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa ũmũtheragia,
33 who 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.”
