Alawii 1

1 Nake Jehova agĩĩta Musa akĩmwarĩria arĩ Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,

Then called he unto Moses, —and Yahweh spake unto him, out of the tent of meeting, saying:

2 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũndũ wanyu o na ũrĩkũ arĩĩrutagĩra Jehova iruta, nĩarehage maruta ma nyamũ kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwa ngʼombe o na kana rwa mbũri.

Speak thou unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them When any man, would bring near from among you an oblation, unto Yahweh, from the beasts, from the herd or from the flock, shall ye bring near your oblation.

3 “‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu nĩ iruta rĩa njino kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwa ngʼombe-rĩ, nĩarutage nyamũ ya njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ. No nginya amĩneane mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩgeetha etĩkĩrĩke harĩ Jehova.

If an ascending-sacrifice, be his oblation—of the herd, a male without defect, shall he bring near, —unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall he bring it, for its acceptance, before Yahweh.

4 Mũndũ ũcio akaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino, nayo nĩĩgetĩkĩrwo handũ-inĩ hake, ĩtuĩke ya kũmũhoroheria.

Then shall he lean his hand, upon the head of the ascending-sacrifice, —and it shall be accepted for him to put a propitiatory covering over him;

5 Nake nĩagethĩnjĩra gategwa kau arĩ mbere ya Jehova, nao ariũ a Harũni arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai moe na marehe thakame yako, mamĩminjaminjĩrie kĩgongona mĩena yothe mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.

and he shall slay the young bullock before Yahweh, —and the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall bring near the blood, and shall dash the blood against the altar round about, [even the altar] that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

6 Nĩakaruta nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino rũũa na amĩtinangie tũcunjĩ.

Then shall he flay the ascending-sacrifice, —and cut it up into its pieces.

7 Ariũ a Harũni ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmagaakia mwaki igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona na maare ngũ igũrũ rĩa mwaki ũcio.

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall place fire upon the altar, —and arrange wood, upon the fire.

8 Ningĩ ariũ a Harũni, acio athĩnjĩri-Ngai, matandaiye tũcunjĩ tũu twa gategwa, o ro hamwe na mũtwe na maguta, igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra hau kĩgongona-inĩ.

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall arrange the pieces, the head and the fat, —upon the wood, that is on the fire, that is on the altar.

9 Ningĩ no nginya athambie nyama cia nda na mathagiro na maaĩ nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acicinĩre ciothe hau kĩgongona-inĩ. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.

But its inwards and its legs, shall they bathe with water, —then shall the priest make, of the whole, a perfume at the altar, an ascending-sacrifice an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.

10 “‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino nĩ kuuma rũũru-inĩ, rĩrĩ iruta rĩa ngʼondu kana rĩa mbũri, akaaruta nyamũ ya njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ.

But, if of the flock, be his oblation, —of the sheep or of the goats, for an ascending-sacrifice, a male without defect, shall he bring near.

11 Nake akaamĩthĩnja arĩ mbere ya Jehova, hau mwena wa gathigathini wa kĩgongona, nao ariũ a Harũni, acio athĩnjĩri-Ngai, moe thakame yayo, mamĩminjaminjĩrie kĩgongona kĩu mĩena yothe.

And he shall slay it on the side of the altar northward, before Yahweh, —and the sons of Aaron the priests shall dash its blood against the altar round about.

12 Nĩagatinangia nyamũ ĩyo tũcunjĩ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atandaiye tũcunjĩ tũu twa nyamũ ĩyo, o ro hamwe na mũtwe na maguta, igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra hau kĩgongona-inĩ.

And he shall cut it up into its pieces, and its head, and its fat, —and the priest shall arrange them upon the wood that is on the fire, that is on the altar,

13 Ningĩ no nginya athambie nyama cia nda na mathagiro na maaĩ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai amĩrehe yothe na amĩcinĩre hau kĩgongona-inĩ. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.

But the inwards and the legs, shall he bathe in water, —then shall the priest bring near the whole and make a perfume at the altar, an ascending-sacrifice, it is an altar-flame of a satisfying odour, unto Yahweh.

14 “‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino rĩa kũrutĩra Jehova nĩ rĩa nyoni-rĩ, akaaruta ndirahũgĩ, kana kĩana kĩa ndutura.

But, if, of birds, be the ascending-sacrifice of his oblation unto Yahweh, then shall he bring near of the turtle-doves or of the young pigeons, his oblation.

15 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamĩrehe kĩgongona-inĩ, amĩthiore ngingo ĩtinĩke mũtwe, amĩcinĩre kĩgongona igũrũ; nayo thakame yayo ĩitwo hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona.

And the priest shall bring it near unto the altar shall nip off its head, and make a perfume at the altar, —and its blood shall be drained out upon the wall of the altar.

16 No ambe arute kabutu kayo hamwe na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wako, agaikie mwena-inĩ wa irathĩro wa kĩgongona, harĩa mũhu ũitagwo.

Then shall he take away its crop with its plumage, —and cast it beside the altar, eastward, into the place of fat ashes;

17 Nĩakamĩatũrania, na ũndũ wa kũguucia mathagu atekũmĩtinania biũ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai amĩcinĩre igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.

and he shall cleave it in its wings—he shall not divide it asunder, so shall the priest make a perfume therewith, at the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire, —an ascending-sacrifice, it is, an altar-flame of a satisfying odour, unto Yahweh.
