1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli ũũ: ‘Mũndũ-wa-nja angĩgĩa nda aciare kahĩĩ, nĩagaikara arĩ na thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja o ta ũrĩa aikaraga arĩ na thaahu ihinda rĩake rĩa mweri.
“Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.
3 Na mũthenya wa kanana wakinya, kahĩĩ kau nĩgakaaruithio.
And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.
4 Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio no nginya eterere mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtatũ nĩguo atherio thaahu wa kuura thakame. Ndakanahutie kĩndũ kĩamũre kana atoonye handũ-harĩa-haamũre o nginya matukũ ma gũtherio gwake mathire.
The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.
5 No angĩciara mwana wa kairĩtu, agaaikara arĩ na thaahu ciumia igĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa aikaraga arĩ na thaahu ihinda rĩake rĩa mweri. Ningĩ no nginya eterere mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩtandatũ nĩguo atherio thaahu wa kuura thakame.
If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.
6 “‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ make ma gũtherio, marĩ ma kahĩĩ kana ma kairĩtu, makahinga-rĩ, nĩakarehera mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gatũrũme ka mwaka ũmwe hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, karĩ iruta rĩa njino, na atware gatutura kana ndirahũgĩ ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.
7 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacirutĩra hau mbere ya Jehova nĩguo amũhoroherie, nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu wa kuuma gwa thakame. “‘Macio nĩmo mawatho ma mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa ũciarĩte kahĩĩ kana kairĩtu.
And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.
8 Angĩkorwo ndangĩhota kũruta gatũrũme, nĩakaruta ndirahũgĩ igĩrĩ kana tũtutuura twĩrĩ, kamwe ka iruta rĩa njino na karĩa kangĩ ka iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaamũhoroheria, nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio nĩagathera.’”
But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
