Alawii 12

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whatsoever woman shall have conceived and born a male child shall be unclean seven days, she shall be unclean according to the days of separation for her monthly courses.

3 Na mũthenya wa kanana wakinya, kahĩĩ kau nĩgakaaruithio.

And on the eighth day she shall circumcise the flesh of his foreskin.

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.

And for thirty-three days she shall continue in her unclean blood; she shall touch nothing holy, and shall not enter the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.

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.

But if she should have born a female child, then she shall be unclean twice seven days, according to the time of her monthly courses; and for sixty-six days shall she remain in her unclean blood.

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.

And when the days of her purification shall have been fulfilled for a son or a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of a year old without blemish for a whole burnt offering, and a young pigeon or turtle-dove for a sin-offering to the door of the tabernacle of witness, to the priest.

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 he shall present it before the Lord, and the priest shall make atonement for her, and shall purge her from the fountain of her blood; this is the law of her who bears a male or 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.’”

And if she can’t afford a lamb, then shall she take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a whole burnt offering, and one for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be purified.
