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.
Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, set light to their incense burners using ordinary fire and put in incense, and in this way offered forbidden fire in the Lord's presence, something he had not authorized.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwaki ũkiuma kũrĩ Jehova, ũkĩmaniina, nao magĩkuĩra o hau mbere ya Jehova.
Fire came out from the Lord's presence and burned them up. They died in the Lord's presence.
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.
Moses explained to Aaron, “This is what the Lord was talking about when he said: ‘I will show my holiness to those who approach me; I will reveal my glory so everyone can see.” But Aaron didn't reply.
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 called Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and told them, “Come and carry away the bodies of your cousins and take them 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.
They came and picked them up by their clothes, and took them outside the camp, as Moses had ordered.
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 told Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Don't leave your hair uncombed, and don't tear your clothes in mourning, otherwise you will die, and the Lord will be angry with everyone. But your relatives and all the other Israelites may mourn for those the Lord killed by fire.
7 Mũtikehere itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩguo mũtigakue, tondũ nĩmũitĩrĩirio maguta ma Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Musa aameerire.
Don't go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, because you have been anointed by the Lord.” They did what Moses said.
8 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ,
The Lord told 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 descendants must not to drink wine or any other alcohol when you go in to the Tent of Meeting, otherwise you will die. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
10 No nginya mũkũũranage indo iria nyamũre na iria itarĩ nyamũre, o na iria irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu,
You must realize the difference between the holy and the ordinary, between clean and unclean,
11 na no nginya mũrutage andũ a Isiraeli watho wothe wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, ũrĩa Jehova aamaheire na kanua ka Musa.”
so you can teach the Israelites all the regulations that the Lord has given to 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.
Moses told Aaron and his two sons who were left, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the food offerings given to the Lord and eat it without yeast 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 must eat it in a holy place, because it is the share for you and your descendants from the food offerings given to the Lord. This is what I have been ordered.
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.
You and your male and female descendants can eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh contribution anywhere that is ceremonially clean, because you and your descendants have been given these as your share from the peace offerings of the Israelites.
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.”
The thigh contribution and the breast of the wave offering, as well as the fat portions of the food offerings made, they are to bring and wave as a wave offering before the Lord. They belong to you and your children forever as the Lord has ordered.”
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,
Moses checked what had happened to the goat of the sin offering, and found out that it had been burned. He got angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons Aaron had left, and asked them,
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 take the sin offering and eat it in the holy place, because it is most holy and it was given to you to take away the people's guilt by making them right 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.”
As its blood was not taken into the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I ordered.”
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?”
So Aaron explained to Moses, “Look, it was today that they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. After all that's just happened to me, would the Lord have been pleased if I'd eaten the sin offering today?”
20 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Musa aiguire ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, akĩiganĩra.
When Moses heard what Aaron had to say, he accepted the explanation.
