Alawii 14

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—

2 “Maya nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũndũ mũrũaru hĩndĩ yake ya gũtherio thaahu, rĩrĩa aarehwo kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai:

This, shall be the law of the leper, in the day when he is declared clean, —he shall be brought in unto the priest;

3 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoima nja ya kambĩ amũrore. Angĩkorwo mũndũ ũcio nĩahonete mũrimũ ũcio wa kũgwatanio wa ngoothi,

then shall the priest go forth unto the outside of the camp, —and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if the plague of leprosy hath been healed out of the leper;

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.

then shall the priest give command, —and there shall be taken—for him that is to be cleansed—two living clean birds, —and cedar wood, and crimson am hyssop;

5 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acooke aathane atĩ nyoni ĩmwe yacio ĩthĩnjĩrwo igũrũ rĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩ na maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.

and the priest shall give command, and one bird shall be slain, —within an earthen vessel over living water:

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.

as for the living bird, he shall take, it, and the cedar wood and the crimson, and the hyssop, —and shall dip them and the living bird, in the blood of the bird that hath been slain over the living 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.

and shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy, seven times, —and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird over the face of the 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.

And he that is to be declared clean shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and bathe in water, and be clean, and, afterwards, shall he come into the camp, —and dwell outside his tent, 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.

and it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave off all the hair of his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair, shall he shave off, —and shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water so shall he 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.

And, on the eighth day, he shall take two he-lambs, without defect, and one ewe-lamb, the choice of its year without defect, —and three-tenths of fine meal for a meal-offering, overflowed with oil, and one log of 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.

And the priest that is cleansing him shall cause the man that is to be cleansed, and those things to stand before Yahweh, at the opening of 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.

And the priest shall take one he-lamb, and bring him near as a guilt-bearer and the log of oil, —and shall wave them as a wave-offering, before Yahweh;

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.

and shall slay the lamb in the place where the sin-bearer and the ascending-sacrifice are slain, in the holy place, —for like the sin-bearer, the guilt-bearer, is the priest’s, most holy, it is.

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.

Then shall the priest take of the blood of the guilt-bearer, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, —and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot;

15 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka oe maguta mamwe marĩa marĩ kabakũri-inĩ amaitĩrĩre rũhĩ rwake rwa mwena wa ũmotho,

and the priest shall take of the log of oil, —and shall pour it upon the palm of the priest’s left hand,

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.

and the priest shall dip his right finger [and take] of the oil that is on the palm of his left hand, —and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh:

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 of the remainder of the oil which is on the palm of his hand, shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, —upon the blood of the guilt-bearer;

18 Namo maguta macio mangĩ marĩ rũhĩ rwake, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamahaka mũtwe wa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio nĩguo amũhoroherie hau mbere ya Jehova.

and that which remaineth of the oil that is on the palm of the priest’s hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, before Yahweh.

19 “Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaruta igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia ahoroherie mũndũ ũcio ũratherio thaahu wake. Thuutha ũcio, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagathĩnja iruta rĩa njino

Then shall the priest offer the sin-bearer, and shall put a propitiatory-covering over him that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness, —and, afterwards, shall he slay the ascending-sacrifice.

20 na arĩrutĩre kĩgongona-inĩ, hamwe na iruta rĩa mũtu nĩguo amũhoroherie, nake athirwo nĩ thaahu.

And the priest shall cause the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering to ascend at the altar, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, and he shall 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,

But if he be poor and his hand hath not enough, then shall he take one he-lamb as a guilt-bearer to be waved to put a propitiatory-covering over him, —and one-tenth of fine meal, overflowed with oil for a meal-offering, and a log of 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 turtle-doves or two young pigeons, for which his hand hath enough, —so shall one be a sin-bearer, and the other an ascending-sacrifice.

23 “Mũthenya wa kanana wakinya no nginya acirehe kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hau itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩgeetha athererio hau mbere ya Jehova.

And he shall bring them in on the eighth day, for his cleansing, unto the priest, —unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh.

24 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoya gatũrũme kau ka iruta rĩa mahĩtia, hamwe na kabakũri ka maguta, acithũngũthĩrie mbere ya Jehova ituĩke iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio.

Then shall the priest take the guilt-bearing lamb and the log of oil, —and the priest shall wave them as a wave-offering, before Yahweh.

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.

Then shall the guilt-bearing lamb be slain, and the priest shall take of the blood of the guilt-bearer, and put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, —and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot;

26 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagekĩra maguta mamwe rũhĩ rwa mwena wake wa ũmotho,

also of the oil, shall the priest pour out, —on the palm of his own left hand;

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 the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger, of the oil that is on the palm of his left hand, —seven times, before Yahweh;

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.

then shall the priest put, of the oil that is on the palm of his hand, upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, —upon the place of 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.

and that which remaineth of the oil which is on the palm of the priest’s hand, shall he put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, —to put a propitiatory-covering over him before Yahweh.

30 Ningĩ nĩakaruta igongona rĩa ndirahũgĩ kana tũtutuura, o iria mũndũ ũcio angĩhota kũruta,

Then shall he offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, —of that for which his hand hath enough;

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.”

even that for which his hand hath enough, —the one as a sin-bearer and the other as an ascending-sacrifice, upon the meal-offering, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him that is to be cleansed before Yahweh.

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 him in whom hath been the plague of leprosy, whose hand hath not enough for that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

33 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:

34 “Rĩrĩa mũgaakinya bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũrĩa ngũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, na niĩ njĩkĩre ũgumu ũgũthegea nyũmba thĩinĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio-rĩ,

When ye enter into the land of Canaan which I am about to give you for a possession, —and I put a plague-mark of leprosy in a house, of the land of your possession,

35 mwene nyũmba ĩyo no nginya athiĩ akeere mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩnyonete kĩndũ kĩhaana ta ũgumu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa.’

then shall he that owneth the house come in, and tell the priest, saying, —A kind of plague-mark, appeareth to me in the 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.

and the priest shall give command, and they shall empty the house, ere yet the priest cometh in to view the mark, so that he do not pronounce unclean all that is in the house, —and, after this, shall the priest come in to view 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,

then shall he view the mark and lo! if the mark is in the walls of the house, with sunken places greenish yellow or reddish, —and they appear to be lower than the [surface of the] wall,

38 mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoima nja ya nyũmba ĩyo na acooke amĩhinge gwa kahinda ka mĩthenya mũgwanja.

then shall the priest come forth out of the house, unto the entrance of the house, —and shall shut up the house seven days;

39 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja wakinya, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka athiĩ arore nyũmba ĩyo. Angĩona ũgumu ũcio nĩũthegeete thingo-inĩ,

and the priest shall return on the seventh day, —and take a view, and lo! if the mark hath spread in the walls of the house,

40 nĩagaathana mahiga marĩa marĩ na ũgumu mamomorwo na mateo handũ hatarĩ hatheru na kũu nja ya itũũra.

then shall the priest give command, and they shall pull out the stones, wherein is the mark, —and cast them forth outside the city, into an unclean place;

41 Nĩagaathana thingo ciothe ikũrũrwo mwena wa na thĩinĩ, namo makũrũro macio mateo kĩara-inĩ na kũu nja ya itũũra.

and, the house itself, shall he cause to be scraped on the inside round about, —and they shall pour out the mortar which they have scraped off, outside the city, into an unclean place;

42 Ningĩ moe mahiga mangĩ make namo mathenya macio mamomoretwo, na macooke moe rĩũmba rĩerũ mathinge nyũmba ĩyo narĩo.

and shall take other stones, and put in the place of the stones, —and, other mortar, shall he take and plaster the house.

43 “Ũgumu ũcio ũngĩcooka woneke rĩngĩ nyũmba-inĩ ĩyo, thuutha wa mahiga macio kũmomorwo, na thingo icio gũkũrũrwo na igathiingwo rĩngĩ-rĩ,

But if the mark again breaketh out in the house, after the taking out of the stones, —and after the scraping of the house and after the plastering;

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.

then shall the priest come in, and take a view, and lo! if the mark hath spread in the house, a fretting leprosy, it is in the house unclean, it is,

45 No nginya ĩmomorwo: mahiga mayo, na mbaũ, na thingo ciothe, nacio indo icio itwarwo handũ hatarĩ hatheru na kũu nja ya itũũra.

and he shall pull down the house, —the stones thereof, and the timber thereof and all the mortar of the house, —and shall carry them forth outside the city, into an unclean place.

46 “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtoonya nyũmba ĩyo hĩndĩ ĩyo ĩrĩ hinge nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.

And as for him that entereth into the house, all the days it is shut up, he shall be unclean until the evening;

47 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩkoma kana arĩĩre irio nyũmba ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake.

And, he that lieth in the house, shall wash his clothes, and he that eateth in the house shall 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.

But, though the priest do come, into the house, and take a view, yet lo! if the plague-mark hath not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then shall the priest pronounce the house clean, for, healed, is the plague.

49 Nĩgeetha atherie nyũmba ĩyo, nĩakoya nyoni igĩrĩ, na kamũtĩ ka mũtarakwa, na rũrigi rwa rangi wa gakarakũ, na mũthobi.

Then shall he take to cleanse, the house, two birds, —and cedar wood, and crimson, and hyssop;

50 Nĩagathĩnjĩra nyoni ĩmwe ya icio igũrũ rĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩ na maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.

and shall kill one bird, —within an earthen vessel over living water;

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.

and take the cedar wood and the hyssop, and the crimson and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the living 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 so cleanse the house, with the blood of the bird and with the living water, —and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop, and with the crimson;

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.”

and shall let go the living bird unto the outside of the city, unto the face of the field, —so shall he put a propitiatory-covering over the house and it shall be clean.

54 Macio nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũrimũ o ro wothe wa ngoothi ũrĩa ũngĩgwatanio, na ũhere,

This, is the law, —for every plague-mark of leprosy and for scall;

55 na ũgumu ũrĩ nguo-inĩ kana thĩinĩ wa nyũmba,

and for garment leprosy, and for house [leprosy];

56 na handũ haimbu, na handũ harĩ na mũtũnda, kana handũ hakaragacũku,

and for rising, and for scab and for a bright 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 give instruction, on the day of declaring unclean, and on the day of declaring clean, —This is the law of leprosy.
