Alawii 14
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Maya nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũndũ mũrũaru hĩndĩ yake ya gũtherio thaahu, rĩrĩa aarehwo kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai:
“These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.
3 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoima nja ya kambĩ amũrore. Angĩkorwo mũndũ ũcio nĩahonete mũrimũ ũcio wa kũgwatanio wa ngoothi,
The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been 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 will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).
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 will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
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.
Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.
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.
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.
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.
“Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay 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 again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.
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.
“The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) 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 declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
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 must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].
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 the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.
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 must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.
15 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka oe maguta mamwe marĩa marĩ kabakũri-inĩ amaitĩrĩre rũhĩ rwake rwa mwena wa ũmotho,
Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own 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.
Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.
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.
Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.
18 Namo maguta macio mangĩ marĩ rũhĩ rwake, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamahaka mũtwe wa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio nĩguo amũhoroherie hau mbere ya Jehova.
The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.
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 must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].
20 na arĩrutĩre kĩgongona-inĩ, hamwe na iruta rĩa mũtu nĩguo amũhoroherie, nake athirwo nĩ thaahu.
He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.
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 the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) 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 doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].
23 “Mũthenya wa kanana wakinya no nginya acirehe kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hau itoonyero rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩgeetha athererio hau mbere ya Jehova.
“On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to 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.
The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.
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 the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and 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 will pour some of the oil into the palm of his 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 with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.
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.
He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.
29 Namo maguta macio mangĩ marĩ rũhĩ rwake, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamahaka mũtwe wa mũndũ ũcio ũratherio, nĩguo amũhoroherie hau mbere ya Jehova.
He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.
30 Ningĩ nĩakaruta igongona rĩa ndirahũgĩ kana tũtutuura, o iria mũndũ ũcio angĩhota kũruta,
Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.
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 will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.
32 Macio nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrĩ na mũrimũ wa ngoothi ũngĩgwatanio, na ndangĩhota kũruta iruta rĩrĩa rĩathanĩtwo rĩa gũtherio gwake.
“Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”
33 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,
34 “Rĩrĩa mũgaakinya bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũrĩa ngũmũhe ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, na niĩ njĩkĩre ũgumu ũgũthegea nyũmba thĩinĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio-rĩ,
“I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.
35 mwene nyũmba ĩyo no nginya athiĩ akeere mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩnyonete kĩndũ kĩhaana ta ũgumu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa.’
If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’
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.
“Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’
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,
[After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,
38 mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoima nja ya nyũmba ĩyo na acooke amĩhinge gwa kahinda ka mĩthenya mũgwanja.
the priest will go outside the house and lock 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, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,
40 nĩagaathana mahiga marĩa marĩ na ũgumu mamomorwo na mateo handũ hatarĩ hatheru na kũu nja ya itũũra.
the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.
41 Nĩagaathana thingo ciothe ikũrũrwo mwena wa na thĩinĩ, namo makũrũro macio mateo kĩara-inĩ na kũu nja ya itũũra.
Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
42 Ningĩ moe mahiga mangĩ make namo mathenya macio mamomoretwo, na macooke moe rĩũmba rĩerũ mathinge nyũmba ĩyo narĩo.
Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] 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 appears again in the house after that is done,
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 go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.
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 completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
46 “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtoonya nyũmba ĩyo hĩndĩ ĩyo ĩrĩ hinge nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
“Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.
47 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩkoma kana arĩĩre irio nyũmba ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake.
Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] 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.
“But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, 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.
But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.
50 Nĩagathĩnjĩra nyoni ĩmwe ya icio igũrũ rĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩ na maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
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 must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on 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.
By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.
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.”
Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.
54 Macio nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũrimũ o ro wothe wa ngoothi ũrĩa ũngĩgwatanio, na ũhere,
“Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,
55 na ũgumu ũrĩ nguo-inĩ kana thĩinĩ wa nyũmba,
for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,
56 na handũ haimbu, na handũ harĩ na mũtũnda, kana handũ hakaragacũku,
and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],
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 find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
