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.
[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwaki ũkiuma kũrĩ Jehova, ũkĩmaniina, nao magĩkuĩra o hau mbere ya Jehova.
So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
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/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
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.”
Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩũka, makĩmakuua, marĩ o na kanjũ ciao, makĩmatwara nja ya kambĩ, o ta ũrĩa Musa aathanĩte.
So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
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/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed 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.
But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
8 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ,
Then Yahweh 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 [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
10 No nginya mũkũũranage indo iria nyamũre na iria itarĩ nyamũre, o na iria irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu,
You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
11 na no nginya mũrutage andũ a Isiraeli watho wothe wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, ũrĩa Jehova aamaheire na kanua ka Musa.”
And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to 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/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very 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.
Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
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.
But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
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 and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh 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,
When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar 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 did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
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 taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, 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?”
Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
20 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Musa aiguire ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, akĩiganĩra.
When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
