< Alawii 14 >

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Maya nĩmo mawatho makoniĩ mũndũ mũrũaru hĩndĩ yake ya gũtherio thaahu, rĩrĩa aarehwo kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai:
“This will be the law for the diseased person on the day of his cleansing. He must be brought to the priest.
3 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoima nja ya kambĩ amũrore. Angĩkorwo mũndũ ũcio nĩahonete mũrimũ ũcio wa kũgwatanio wa ngoothi,
The priest will go out of the camp to examine the person to see if the infectious skin disease is 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.
Then the priest will command that the one to be cleansed must take two live, clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop.
5 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acooke aathane atĩ nyoni ĩmwe yacio ĩthĩnjĩrwo igũrũ rĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩ na maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
The priest will command him to kill one of the birds over fresh water that is 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.
The priest will then take the live bird and the cedar wood, and the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, and he will dip all these things, including the live bird, in the blood of the bird that was killed 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.
Then the priest will sprinkle this water seven times onto the person who is to be cleansed from the disease, and then the priest will pronounce him to be clean. Then the priest will release the living bird into the open fields.
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 person who is being cleansed will wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and then he will be clean. After that he must come into the camp, but he will live 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 all his hair off his head, and he must also shave off his beard and eyebrows. He must shave off all his hair, and he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; then 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 must take two male lambs without blemish, one female lamb a year old without blemish, and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, 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.
The priest who cleanses him will stand the person who is to be cleansed, along with those things, before Yahweh 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.
The priest will take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering, together with the log of oil; he will wave them for 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.
He must kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offerings and the burnt offerings, in the area of the tabernacle, for the sin offering belongs to the priest, as does the guilt offering, because 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 will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of the person who is 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 will take oil from the log and pour it into 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.
and dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and sprinkle some 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.
The priest will put the rest of the oil in his hand on the tip of the right ear of the person to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. He must put this oil on top of the blood from 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.
As for the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand, he will put it on the head of the person who is to be cleansed, and the priest will make atonement for 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 the priest will offer the sin offering and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness, and afterward he will kill the burnt offering.
20 na arĩrutĩre kĩgongona-inĩ, hamwe na iruta rĩa mũtu nĩguo amũhoroherie, nake athirwo nĩ thaahu.
Then the priest will offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. The priest will make atonement for the person, and then 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,
However, if the person is poor and cannot afford these sacrifices, then he may take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for himself, and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain 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.
together with two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; one bird will 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 must bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the entrance to 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.
The priest will take the lamb for an offering, and he will take with it the log of olive oil, and he will lift them high as he presents them to 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.
He will kill the lamb for the guilt offering, and he will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of the one who is 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 will pour some of the oil into 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 he will sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in 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.
The priest will then put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of the one who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, the same places where he put 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.
He will put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the one who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Yahweh.
30 Ningĩ nĩakaruta igongona rĩa ndirahũgĩ kana tũtutuura, o iria mũndũ ũcio angĩhota kũruta,
He must offer one of the doves or young pigeons, such as the person has been able to get—
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, along with the grain offering. Then the priest will make atonement for the one who 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 a person in whom there is an infectious skin disease, who is not able to afford the standard offerings for his cleansing.”
33 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to 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 you have come into the land of Canaan which I gave to you as a possession, and if I put mildew that spreads in a house in 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 he who owns the house must come and tell the priest. He must say, 'There seems to me to be something like mildew 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.
Then the priest will command that they empty the house before he goes in to see the evidence of mildew, so that nothing in the house will be made unclean. Afterward the priest must go in to see 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 must examine the mildew to see if it is in the house walls, and to see whether it appears greenish or reddish in the depressions in the wall's surface.
38 mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoima nja ya nyũmba ĩyo na acooke amĩhinge gwa kahinda ka mĩthenya mũgwanja.
If the house does have mildew, then the priest will go out of the house and shut the door to the house for seven days.
39 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja wakinya, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacooka athiĩ arore nyũmba ĩyo. Angĩona ũgumu ũcio nĩũthegeete thingo-inĩ,
Then the priest will return again on the seventh day and examine it to see if the mildew has 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.
If it has, then the priest will command that they take out the stones in which the mildew has been found and throw them 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.
He will require all the inside walls of the house to be scraped, and they must take the contaminated material that is scraped off outside the city and dump it into the unclean place.
42 Ningĩ moe mahiga mangĩ make namo mathenya macio mamomoretwo, na macooke moe rĩũmba rĩerũ mathinge nyũmba ĩyo narĩo.
They must take other stones and put them in the place of the stones that were removed, and they must use new clay to 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,
If mildew comes again and breaks out in the house in which the stones have been taken away and the walls have been scraped and then 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.
then the priest must come in and examine the house to see if mildew has spread in the house. If it has, then it is harmful mildew, and 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.
The house must be torn down. The stones, timber, and all the plaster in the house must be carried away out of the city to the unclean place.
46 “Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtoonya nyũmba ĩyo hĩndĩ ĩyo ĩrĩ hinge nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
In addition, whoever goes into the house during the time it is closed up will be unclean until evening.
47 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩkoma kana arĩĩre irio nyũmba ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake.
Anyone who slept in the house must wash his clothes, and anyone who ate in the house 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 the priest enters the house to examine it to see whether the mildew has spread in the house after the house was plastered, then, if the mildew is gone, he will pronounce the house clean.
49 Nĩgeetha atherie nyũmba ĩyo, nĩakoya nyoni igĩrĩ, na kamũtĩ ka mũtarakwa, na rũrigi rwa rangi wa gakarakũ, na mũthobi.
Then the priest must take two birds to cleanse the house, and cedar wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop.
50 Nĩagathĩnjĩra nyoni ĩmwe ya icio igũrũ rĩa nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩ na maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
He will kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay jar.
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.
He will take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the killed bird, into 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.
He will cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the fresh water, with 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.”
But he will let the live bird go out of the city into the open fields. In this way he must 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 all types of infectious skin disease and things that cause such disease, and for an itch,
55 na ũgumu ũrĩ nguo-inĩ kana thĩinĩ wa nyũmba,
and for mildew in clothing and in a house,
56 na handũ haimbu, na handũ harĩ na mũtũnda, kana handũ hakaragacũku,
for swelling, for a rash, 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 determine when any of these cases is unclean or when it is clean. This is the law for infectious skin diseases and mildew.”
