Alawii 12
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
3 Na mũthenya wa kanana wakinya, kahĩĩ kau nĩgakaaruithio.
The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
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.
Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
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 a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
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.
‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
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.
The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
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.’”
If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
