Alawii 10

1 Na rĩrĩ, ariũ a Harũni, nĩo Nadabu na Abihu, nĩmoire ngĩo ciao cia ũbani, magĩciĩkĩra mwaki na makĩongerera ũbani; na makĩrehe mwaki ũteetĩkĩrĩtio mbere ya Jehova, ũrĩa wareganĩte na watho wa Jehova.

Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command.

2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwaki ũkiuma kũrĩ Jehova, ũkĩmaniina, nao magĩkuĩra o hau mbere ya Jehova.

So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.

3 Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo Jehova aaririe, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ: “‘Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa marĩĩthengagĩrĩra, nĩndĩrĩĩonanagia ndĩ mũtheru; nĩndĩrĩtĩĩagwo mbere ya andũ othe.’” Nake Harũni agĩkira ki.

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said: ‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent.

4 Musa agĩĩta Mishaeli na Elizafani, ariũ a Uzieli, ithe mũnini wa Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai haha, muoye ciimba cia ariũ a ithe wanyu, mũciumie nja ya kambĩ haraihu na itoonyero rĩa handũ-harĩa-haamũre.”

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”

5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩũka, makĩmakuua, marĩ o na kanjũ ciao, makĩmatwara nja ya kambĩ, o ta ũrĩa Musa aathanĩte.

So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.

6 Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Harũni na ariũ ake Eleazaru na Ithamaru atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanareke njuĩrĩ cianyu ciikare itarĩ njanũre, kana mũtembũrange nguo cianyu, nĩguo mũtigakue, na mũtũme Jehova arakarĩre kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ gĩothe. No rĩrĩ, rekei andũ a nyũmba yanyu, nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli, macakaĩre acio Jehova aniinĩte na mwaki.

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited.

7 Mũtikehere itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩguo mũtigakue, tondũ nĩmũitĩrĩirio maguta ma Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Musa aameerire.

You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.

8 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ,

Then the LORD said to Aaron,

9 “Wee na ariũ aku-rĩ, mũtikananyue ndibei kana kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩngĩtũma mũndũ arĩĩo rĩrĩa rĩothe mũrĩtoonyaga Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, nĩguo mũtigakue. Ũndũ ũcio nĩ ũtuĩke watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya njiarwa-inĩ iria igooka.

“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.

10 No nginya mũkũũranage indo iria nyamũre na iria itarĩ nyamũre, o na iria irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu,

You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean,

11 na no nginya mũrutage andũ a Isiraeli watho wothe wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, ũrĩa Jehova aamaheire na kanua ka Musa.”

so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”

12 Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Harũni na ariũ ake arĩa maatigaire, nĩo Eleazaru na Ithamaru, atĩrĩ, “Oyai iruta rĩu rĩa mũtu rĩatigarĩte kuuma harĩ maruta marĩa maarutĩirwo Jehova ma gũcinwo na mwaki, mũrĩrĩe rĩthondeketwo rĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, mũrĩĩre hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona, nĩ ũndũ nĩ iruta rĩtheru mũno makĩria.

And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.

13 Mũrĩrĩĩre handũ hatheru, tondũ nĩ rwĩga rwaku na rwa ariũ aku kuuma maruta-inĩ marĩa marutĩirwo Jehova ma gũcinwo na mwaki; tondũ ũguo nĩguo njathĩtwo.

You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.

14 No wee, na ariũ aku na airĩtu aku no mũrĩe gĩthũri kĩrĩa gĩathũngũthĩtio, na kĩero kĩrĩa kĩaheanĩtwo. Mũcirĩĩre handũ hatarĩ thaahu; icio nĩwe ũheetwo hamwe na ciana ciaku ituĩke rwĩga rwanyu rwa maruta ma ũiguano ma andũ a Isiraeli.

And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

15 Kĩero kĩu kĩarutĩtwo, na gĩthũri kĩu gĩathũngũthĩtio, no nginya irehanĩrio na maguta ma maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki, na ithũngũthio mbere ya Jehova, ituĩke igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio. Rũrũ nĩruo rwĩga rwaku na rwa ciana ciaku hĩndĩ ciothe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte.”

They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”

16 Rĩrĩa Musa oorĩrĩirie ũhoro wa mbũri ĩrĩa ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na akĩmenya atĩ nĩyarĩkĩtie gũcinwo biũ-rĩ, akĩrakarĩra Eleazaru na Ithamaru, ariũ a Harũni arĩa maatigaire, akĩmooria atĩrĩ,

Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

17 “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩgiririe mũrĩĩre iruta rĩu rĩa kũhoroheria mehia handũ-harĩa-haamũre? Nĩ iruta itheru mũno makĩria; mwaheirwo iruta rĩu rĩa kweheragia mahĩtia ma kĩrĩndĩ rĩrĩa mũkũmahoroheria hau mbere ya Jehova.

“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.

18 Kuona atĩ thakame yayo ndĩnatoonyio thĩinĩ wa Handũ-hau-Hatheru-rĩ, nĩmũkwagĩrĩirwo nĩkũrĩĩra mbũri ĩyo Handũ-hau-Haamũre, o ta ũrĩa ndaathanire.”

Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

19 Harũni agĩcookeria Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩmarutire igongona rĩao rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na iruta rĩao rĩa njino hau mbere ya Jehova, no maũndũ ta macio o na niĩ manangora. Ingĩkũrĩĩte iruta rĩu rĩa kũhoroherio mehia ũmũthĩ-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio nĩũngĩkenirie Jehova?”

But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”

20 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Musa aiguire ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, akĩiganĩra.

And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
