< Alawii 14 >

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Maya nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũndũ mũrũaru hĩndĩ yake ya gũtherio thaahu, rĩrĩa aarehwo kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai:
“This is the law for the one afflicted with a skin disease on the day of his cleansing, when he is brought to the priest.
3 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoima nja ya kambĩ amũrore. Angĩkorwo mũndũ ũcio nĩahonete mũrimũ ũcio wa kũgwatanio wa ngoothi,
The priest is to go outside the camp to examine him, and if the skin disease of the afflicted person has healed,
4 mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagaathana areherwo nyoni igĩrĩ irĩ muoyo na itarĩ na thaahu, na kamũtĩ ka mũtarakwa, na rũrigi rwa rangi wa gakarakũ, na mũthobi irehwo nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũcio ũgũtherio.
the priest shall order that two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the one to be cleansed.
5 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acooke aathane atĩ nyoni ĩmwe yacio ĩthĩnjĩrwo igũrũ rĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩ na maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
Then the priest shall command that one of the birds be slaughtered over fresh water in a clay pot.
6 Ningĩ acooke oe nyoni ĩyo ĩrĩ muoyo, amĩtobokie, hamwe na kamũtĩ kau ka mũtarakwa, na rũrigi rũu rwa gakarakũ na mũthobi thĩinĩ wa thakame ya nyoni ĩyo ĩthĩnjĩirwo igũrũ wa maaĩ macio matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
And he is to take the live bird together with the cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop, and dip them into the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water.
7 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaminjĩria mũndũ ũcio ũratherio mũrimũ ũcio ũngĩgwatanio thakame ĩyo maita mũgwanja, na acooke oige atĩ mũndũ ũcio ndarĩ na thaahu. Ningĩ acooke arekererie nyoni ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩrĩ muoyo yũmbũke ĩthiĩ werũ-inĩ.
Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the skin disease. Then he shall pronounce him clean and release the live bird into the open field.
8 “Mũndũ ũcio ũtheretio no nginya athambie nguo ciake, no nginya enjwo njuĩrĩ yake yothe na ethambe na maaĩ nĩguo athirwo nĩ thaahu. Thuutha ũcio, no atoonye kambĩ; no rĩrĩ, no nginya aikare nja ya hema yake mĩthenya mũgwanja.
The one being cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe with water; then he will be ceremonially clean. Afterward, he may enter the camp, but he must remain outside his tent for seven days.
9 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja no nginya enjwo njuĩrĩ yake yothe; no nginya enjwo mũtwe, na nderu, na ngobe, na njuĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciake ciothe. Na no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe na maaĩ, nake nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu.
On the seventh day he must shave off all his hair—his head, his beard, his eyebrows, and the rest of his hair. He must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and he will be clean.
10 “Mũthenya wa kanana wakinya, no nginya atwarĩre mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai tũtũrũme twĩrĩ na kamwatĩ, o kamwe ka ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, na ciothe ikorwo itarĩ na kaũũgũ, atware hamwe na icunjĩ ithatũ cia ikũmi cia eba ya mũtu mũhinyu ũtukanĩtio na maguta nĩ ũndũ wa iruta rĩa mũtu, na kabakũri kamwe ka maguta.
On the eighth day he is to bring two unblemished male lambs, an unblemished ewe lamb a year old, a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil, and one log of olive oil.
11 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa ũgaatua atĩ mũndũ ũcio ndarĩ na thaahu nĩagatwara mũndũ ũcio ũratherio hamwe na maruta make mbere ya Jehova hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
The priest who performs the cleansing shall present the one to be cleansed, together with these offerings, before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
12 “Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoya gatũrũme kamwe gatuo, akarute karĩ iruta rĩa mahĩtia, hamwe na kabakũri kau ka maguta; nĩagacithũngũthĩria hau mbere ya Jehova ituĩke iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio.
Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and present it as a guilt offering, along with the log of olive oil; and he must wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
13 Nĩagathĩnjĩra gatũrũme kau handũ harĩa hatheru, harĩa iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia na iruta rĩa njino ithĩnjagĩrwo. O ta ũrĩa iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia rĩrĩ rĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai-rĩ, no taguo iruta rĩa mahĩtia rĩrĩ rĩake, rĩu nĩ iruta itheru mũno makĩria.
Then he is to slaughter the lamb in the sanctuary area where the sin offering and burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy.
14 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya iruta rĩu rĩa mahĩtia na amĩhake moni ya gũtũ kwa ũrĩo kwa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio, na kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, na kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa kũgũrũ gwake kwa ũrĩo.
The priest is to take some of the blood from the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
15 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka oe maguta mamwe marĩa marĩ kabakũri-inĩ amaitĩrĩre rũhĩ rwake rwa mwena wa ũmotho,
Then the priest shall take some of the log of olive oil, pour it into his left palm,
16 acooke atobokie kĩara gĩake kĩa muoroto kĩa ũrĩo maguta-inĩ macio marĩ rũhĩ rwake, aminjaminje maguta mamwe ma macio marĩ kĩara gĩake mbere ya Jehova maita mũgwanja.
dip his right forefinger into the oil in his left palm, and sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.
17 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoya maguta mamwe ma marĩa matigaire rũhĩ rwake amahake moni ya gũtũ kwa ũrĩo kwa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio, na kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, na kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa kũgũrũ gwake kwa ũrĩo, igũrũ rĩa thakame ĩyo ya iruta rĩa mahĩtia.
And the priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.
18 Namo maguta macio mangĩ marĩ rũhĩ rwake, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamahaka mũtwe wa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio nĩguo amũhoroherie hau mbere ya Jehova.
The rest of the oil in his palm, the priest is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
19 “Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaruta igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia ahoroherie mũndũ ũcio ũratherio thaahu wake. Thuutha ũcio, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagathĩnja iruta rĩa njino
Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering
20 na arĩrutĩre kĩgongona-inĩ, hamwe na iruta rĩa mũtu nĩguo amũhoroherie, nake athirwo nĩ thaahu.
and offer it on the altar, with the grain offering, to make atonement for him, and he will be clean.
21 “No rĩrĩ angĩkorwo mũndũ ũcio nĩ mũthĩĩni na ndangĩhota kũruta indo icio, no nginya arute gatũrũme kamwe gatuĩke iruta rĩa mahĩtia rĩa gũthũngũthio nĩguo rĩmũhoroherie, hamwe na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa eba ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũtukanĩtio na maguta, rĩtuĩke iruta rĩa mũtu, na kabakũri ka maguta,
If, however, the person is poor and cannot afford these offerings, he is to take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for him, along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of olive oil,
22 na ndirahũgĩ igĩrĩ kana tũtutuura twĩrĩ, o iria angĩhota kũruta, ĩmwe ĩtuĩke ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya iruta rĩa njino.
and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever he can afford, one to be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
23 “Mũthenya wa kanana wakinya no nginya acirehe kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hau itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩgeetha athererio hau mbere ya Jehova.
On the eighth day he is to bring them for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD.
24 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoya gatũrũme kau ka iruta rĩa mahĩtia, hamwe na kabakũri ka maguta, acithũngũthĩrie mbere ya Jehova ituĩke iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio.
The priest shall take the lamb for the guilt offering, along with the log of olive oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
25 Nĩagathĩnja gatũrũme ka iruta rĩa mahĩtia na acooke oe thakame ĩmwe yako amĩhake moni ya gũtũ kwa ũrĩo kwa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio, na amĩhake kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo na kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa kũgũrũ gwake kwa ũrĩo.
And after he slaughters the lamb for the guilt offering, the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagekĩra maguta mamwe rũhĩ rwa mwena wake wa ũmotho,
Then the priest is to pour some of the oil into his left palm
27 na aminjaminje maguta mamwe ma macio marĩ rũhĩ rwake na kĩara kĩa muoroto gĩa guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, hau mbere ya Jehova, maita mũgwanja.
and sprinkle with his right forefinger some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the LORD.
28 Maguta mamwe ma macio marĩ rũhĩ rwake amahake o harĩa aahakĩte thakame ya iruta rĩa mahĩtia, moni-inĩ ya gũtũ kwa ũrĩo kwa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio, na kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo na kĩara kĩrĩa kĩnene gĩa kũgũrũ gwake kwa ũrĩo.
The priest shall also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot—on the same places as the blood of the guilt offering.
29 Namo maguta macio mangĩ marĩ rũhĩ rwake, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamahaka mũtwe wa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio, nĩguo amũhoroherie hau mbere ya Jehova.
The rest of the oil in his palm, the priest is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
30 Ningĩ nĩakaruta igongona rĩa ndirahũgĩ kana tũtutuura, o iria mũndũ ũcio angĩhota kũruta,
Then he must sacrifice the turtledoves or young pigeons, whichever he can afford,
31 ĩmwe ĩrĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia na ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩrĩ iruta rĩa njino, o hamwe na iruta rĩa mũtu. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaahoroheria mũndũ ũcio ũratherio hau mbere ya Jehova.”
one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the LORD for the one to be cleansed.
32 Macio nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩ na mũrimũ wa ngoothi ũngĩgwatanio, na ndangĩhota kũruta iruta rĩrĩa rĩathanĩtwo rĩa gũtherio gwake.
This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing.”
33 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
34 “Rĩrĩa mũgaakinya bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũrĩa ngũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, na niĩ njĩkĩre ũgumu ũgũthegea nyũmba thĩinĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio-rĩ,
“When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a contamination of mildew into a house in that land,
35 mwene nyũmba ĩyo no nginya athiĩ akeere mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩnyonete kĩndũ kĩhaana ta ũgumu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa.’
the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘Something like mildew has appeared in my house.’
36 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩagaathana indo ciothe irutwo nyũmba ĩyo atanatoonya kũrora ũgumu ũcio, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩrĩ nyũmba ĩyo kĩngĩtuuo atĩ kĩrĩ na thaahu. Thuutha wa ũguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagatoonya arore nyũmba ĩyo.
The priest must order that the house be cleared before he enters it to examine the mildew, so that nothing in the house will become unclean. After this, the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
37 Nĩakarora ũgumu rũthingo-inĩ, na aakorwo rũrĩ na tũrima twa rangi ta wa nyeki nduru kana wa rangi mũtune tũhaana ta tũtoonyete thĩinĩ wa rũthingo-rĩ,
He is to examine the house, and if the mildew on the walls consists of green or red depressions that appear to be beneath the surface of the wall,
38 mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoima nja ya nyũmba ĩyo na acooke amĩhinge gwa kahinda ka mĩthenya mũgwanja.
the priest shall go outside the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.
39 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja wakinya, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka athiĩ arore nyũmba ĩyo. Angĩona ũgumu ũcio nĩũthegeete thingo-inĩ,
On the seventh day the priest is to return and inspect the house. If the mildew has spread on the walls,
40 nĩagaathana mahiga marĩa marĩ na ũgumu mamomorwo na mateo handũ hatarĩ hatheru na kũu nja ya itũũra.
he must order that the contaminated stones be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.
41 Nĩagaathana thingo ciothe ikũrũrwo mwena wa na thĩinĩ, namo makũrũro macio mateo kĩara-inĩ na kũu nja ya itũũra.
And he shall have the inside of the house scraped completely and the plaster that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the city.
42 Ningĩ moe mahiga mangĩ make namo mathenya macio mamomoretwo, na macooke moe rĩũmba rĩerũ mathinge nyũmba ĩyo narĩo.
So different stones must be obtained to replace the contaminated ones, as well as additional mortar to replaster the house.
43 “Ũgumu ũcio ũngĩcooka woneke rĩngĩ nyũmba-inĩ ĩyo, thuutha wa mahiga macio kũmomorwo, na thingo icio gũkũrũrwo na igathiingwo rĩngĩ-rĩ,
If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house has been scraped and replastered,
44 mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka athiĩ amĩrore rĩngĩ, na angĩona ũgumu ũcio nĩũthegeete nyũmba-inĩ ĩyo, ũcio nĩ ũgumu wa kwananga; nyũmba ĩyo ĩrĩ na thaahu.
the priest must come and inspect it. If the mildew has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean.
45 No nginya ĩmomorwo: mahiga mayo, na mbaũ, na thingo ciothe, nacio indo icio itwarwo handũ hatarĩ hatheru na kũu nja ya itũũra.
It must be torn down with its stones, its timbers, and all its plaster, and taken outside the city to an unclean place.
46 “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtoonya nyũmba ĩyo hĩndĩ ĩyo ĩrĩ hinge nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
Anyone who enters the house during any of the days that it is closed up will be unclean until evening.
47 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩkoma kana arĩĩre irio nyũmba ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake.
And anyone who sleeps in the house or eats in it must wash his clothes.
48 “No rĩrĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai angĩũka kũmĩrora akore atĩ ũgumu ũcio ndũthegeete thuutha wa nyũmba ĩyo gũthingwo rĩngĩ-rĩ, nĩagatua atĩ nyũmba ĩyo ndĩrĩ na thaahu, nĩgũkorwo ũgumu ũcio nĩũthirĩte.
If, however, the priest comes and inspects it, and the mildew has not spread after the house has been replastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the mildew is gone.
49 Nĩgeetha atherie nyũmba ĩyo, nĩakoya nyoni igĩrĩ, na kamũtĩ ka mũtarakwa, na rũrigi rwa rangi wa gakarakũ, na mũthobi.
He is to take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop to purify the house;
50 Nĩagathĩnjĩra nyoni ĩmwe ya icio igũrũ rĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩ na maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
and he shall slaughter one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.
51 Acooke oe kamũtĩ ka mũtarakwa, na mũthobi, na rũrigi rwa rangi wa gakarakũ na nyoni ĩyo ĩrĩ muoyo, acitobokie thĩinĩ wa thakame ĩyo ya nyoni ĩyo thĩnje, na maaĩ-inĩ macio matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo, aminjaminjĩrie nyũmba ĩyo maita mũgwanja.
Then he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn, and the live bird, dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52 Nĩagatheria nyũmba ĩyo na thakame ya nyoni ĩyo, na maaĩ macio matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo, na nyoni ĩyo ĩrĩ muoyo, na kamũtĩ kau ka mũtarakwa, na mũthobi ũcio, na rũrigi rũu rwa rangi wa gakarakũ.
And he shall cleanse the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn.
53 Acooke arekererie nyoni ĩyo ĩrĩ muoyo yũmbũke ĩthiĩ na kũu werũ-inĩ, nja ya itũũra. Ũguo nĩguo akaahoroheria nyũmba ĩyo, nayo nĩĩgathirwo nĩ thaahu.”
Finally, he is to release the live bird into the open fields outside the city. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.
54 Macio nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũrimũ o ro wothe wa ngoothi ũrĩa ũngĩgwatanio, na ũhere,
This is the law for any infectious skin disease, for a scaly outbreak,
55 na ũgumu ũrĩ nguo-inĩ kana thĩinĩ wa nyũmba,
for mildew in clothing or in a house,
56 na handũ haimbu, na handũ harĩ na mũtũnda, kana handũ hakaragacũku,
and for a swelling, rash, or spot,
57 nĩguo kũmenyekage rĩrĩa kĩndũ gĩtarĩ na thaahu na rĩrĩa kĩrĩ na thaahu. Macio nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mĩrimũ ya ngoothi ĩrĩa ĩngĩgwatanio, na makoniĩ ũgumu.
to determine when something is clean or unclean. This is the law regarding skin diseases and mildew.”
