< Alawii 16 >
1 Nake Jehova akĩarĩria Musa thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa ariũ arĩa eerĩ a Harũni arĩa maakuire rĩrĩa mookire magĩkuhĩrĩria mbere ya Jehova.
The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron's sons when they went into the Lord's presence.
2 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ: “Ĩra mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni ndagatoonyage o rĩrĩa enda Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, hau thuutha wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuuria kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya gĩtĩ gĩa tha kĩrĩa kĩrĩ igũrũ wa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro ndakae gũkua, tondũ hau nĩho ndĩyumagĩria ndĩ thĩinĩ wa itu hau igũrũ wa gĩtĩ gĩa tha.
The Lord told Moses: “Warn your brother Aaron not to come into the Most Holy Place whenever he wants, otherwise he'll die. For that's where I appear in the cloud above the atonement cover of the Ark, behind the veil.
3 “Ũũ nĩguo Harũni arĩĩtoonyaga harĩa haamũre: arĩĩtoonyaga na gategwa ka iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na ndũrũme ĩmwe ya iruta rĩa njino.
These are the instructions as to how Aaron is to enter the sanctuary. He is to come with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 Nĩarĩhumbaga kanjũ ya gatani ĩrĩa nyamũre, na thuruarĩ cia thĩinĩ cia gatani iriganie na mwĩrĩ wake, nĩarĩĩhotoraga mũcibi ũrĩa wa gatani, na akeoha kĩremba kĩrĩa gĩa gatani. Icio nĩcio nguo iria nyamũre; nĩ ũndũ ũcio no nginya ethambe na maaĩ mbere ya gũciĩhumba.
He is to be wearing the holy linen tunic, with linen underwear. He has to tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy clothes. He must wash himself with water before he puts them on.
5 Nĩakoya thenge igĩrĩ cia iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na ndũrũme ya iruta rĩa njino kuuma kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli.
From the people of Israel he is to bring two male goats for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Harũni nĩakaruta ndegwa ĩyo ĩrĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia make mwene nĩguo ehoroherie we mwene na nyũmba yake.
Aaron will present the bull as his own sin offering to make himself and his household right.
7 Ningĩ nĩakoya thenge icio cierĩ acineane hau mbere ya Jehova itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
Then he will bring the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 Nĩagacuukĩra thenge icio cierĩ mĩtĩ, ũmwe nĩ wa Jehova, naguo ũcio ũngĩ nĩ wa mbũri ya kũrekererio ĩkuuithĩtio mehia.
Aaron will casts lots to choose between the goats, one for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.
9 Harũni nĩakaruta thenge ĩrĩa ĩkaagũĩrwo nĩ mũtĩ wa mwena wa Jehova, amĩrute ĩrĩ igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
He will present the goat that was chosen by lot for the Lord and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10 No thenge ĩrĩa ĩkaagũĩrwo nĩ mũtĩ ĩtuĩke ya kũrekererio ĩkuuithĩtio mehia nĩĩkaneanwo mbere ya Jehova ĩrĩ muoyo, ĩtuĩke ya kũhorohanĩria, na ũndũ wa kũmĩrekereria ĩĩthiĩre werũ-inĩ, ĩrĩ yo ya kũrekererio ĩkuuithĩtio mehia.
The goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat is to be presented alive before the Lord to make things right by sending it away into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
11 “Harũni nĩakarehe ndegwa ĩyo ĩtuĩke ya iruta rĩa mehia make mwene, nĩguo ehoroherie we mwene na nyũmba yake, na nĩagathĩnja ndegwa ĩyo nĩ ũndũ wa iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia make mwene.
Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering to make things right for himself and his household by killing the bull as his own sin offering.
12 Nĩakoya rũgĩo rwa ũbani rũiyũrĩtio makara ma mwaki marutĩtwo kĩgongona-inĩ mbere ya Jehova, na ngundi igĩrĩ cia ũbani mũhinyu ũrĩa ũtararĩkaga wega, na acitware na kũu thuutha wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio.
Then he will fill up a incense burner with burning coals from the altar that is before the Lord, and with his hands full of finely-ground sweet-smelling incense, take them behind the veil.
13 Nĩagekĩra ũbani ũcio mwaki-inĩ mbere ya Jehova, nayo ndogo ya ũbani ũcio nĩĩgathiĩka gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha, kĩu kĩrĩ igũrũ rĩa ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, nĩguo ndagakue.
In the presence of the Lord he will put the incense on the burning coals, and the smoke from the incense will cover the atonement cover above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
14 Ningĩ nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya ndegwa ĩyo na kĩara gĩake, amĩminjaminje mwena wa mbere wa gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha; ningĩ nĩakaminjaminja ĩmwe yayo na kĩara gĩake maita mũgwanja hau mbere ya gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha.
He will take some of the bull's blood and with his finger sprinkle it on the east side of the atonement cover. He shall also sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times in front of the atonement cover.
15 “Ningĩ nĩagathĩnja thenge ĩrĩa ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia makoniĩ andũ acio, na atware thakame yayo thuutha wa gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio, eke nayo o ta ũrĩa eekire thakame ya ndegwa ĩyo: amĩminjaminje igũrũ rĩa gĩtĩ kĩu gĩa tha o na mbere yakĩo.
Then Aaron will slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull's blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
16 Ũguo nĩguo akaahoroheria Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno tondũ wa thaahu na ũremi wa andũ a Isiraeli, kũringana na mehia mao mothe. Na ũguo noguo ageeka nĩ ũndũ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, ĩrĩa ĩrĩ gatagatĩ kao na thaahu wao.
This is how he will set right the Most Holy Place and purify it from the uncleanness of the Israelites, their acts of rebellion, and all their sins. He will do the same for the Tent of Meeting which is in the middle of their camp, surrounded by their unclean lives.
17 Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũgaakorwo thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo kuuma ihinda rĩrĩa Harũni agaathiĩ kũhoroheria Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akoima ho, arĩkĩtie kwĩhoroheria we mwene, na akahoroheria nyũmba yake na akahoroheria kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli.
No one can be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron enters to purify the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made things right for himself, his household, and all the Israelites.
18 “Ningĩ nĩakoima athiĩ kĩgongona-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hau mbere ya Jehova akĩhoroherie. Nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya ndegwa ĩyo, na thakame ĩmwe ya thenge, amĩhake hĩa ciothe cia kĩgongona kĩu.
Then he shall go to the altar that is before the Lord and purify it. He is to take some of the blood from the bull and the goat and put it on all the horns of the altar.
19 Nĩakaminjaminja thakame ĩmwe na kĩara gĩake igũrũ rĩakĩo maita mũgwanja, agĩtherie na akĩamũre nĩguo gĩthirwo nĩ thaahu wa andũ a Isiraeli.
He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to dedicate it and purify it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
20 “Harũni aarĩkia kũhoroheria Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo na kĩgongona kĩu, nĩakarehe thenge ĩrĩa ĩrĩ muoyo.
Once Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to present the live goat.
21 Nĩakaigĩrĩra moko make meerĩ igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa thenge ĩyo ĩrĩ muoyo, na oimbũrĩre hau igũrũ rĩayo waganu wothe na ũremi wa andũ a Isiraeli, oimbũre mehia mao mothe, amacookererie igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wayo. Nĩakarekereria thenge ĩyo ĩĩthiĩre werũ-inĩ ĩmenyereirwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũthuurĩirwo wĩra ũcio.
Then he will put both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wrongs of the Israelites, all their acts of rebellion, and all their sins. He is to put them on the goat's head and send it away into the desert, taken there by a man chosen to do it.
22 Thenge ĩyo nĩĩgakuuithio mehia mao mothe, ĩmatware kũndũ kũrĩa gũtatũũragwo nĩ Andũ; nake mũndũ ũcio nĩakarekereria thenge ĩyo na kũu werũ-inĩ.
The goat will take upon itself all their sins and go into a distant place, and the man will send it away into the desert.
23 “Harũni nĩagacooka atoonye Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo arute nguo icio cia gatani iria eekĩrire mbere ya gũtoonya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, nake acitige kuo.
Aaron is to return to the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen clothes he put on before he went into the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 Nĩagethamba mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, arĩ handũ hatheru na acooke ehumbe nguo ciake cia ndũire. Acooke oime nja na erutĩre iruta rĩa njino nĩ ũndũ wake mwene, na arute iruta rĩa njino nĩ ũndũ wa andũ, nĩguo ehoroherie we mwene na ahoroherie andũ arĩa angĩ.
He is to wash himself with water in the sanctuary and put on his own clothes. Then he will go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people's burnt offering that makes him and the people right.
25 Ningĩ nĩagacinĩra maguta ma iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona.
He also must burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 “Mũndũ ũcio ũrekagĩrĩria thenge ĩyo ya gũkuuithio mehia no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ; thuutha ũcio acooke atoonye kambĩ.
The man who went and sent away the scapegoat must wash his clothes and wash himself with water; then he may come back into the camp.
27 Ndegwa ĩyo na thenge, iria cia iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, iria thakame yacio yatwarĩtwo Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno ya kũhorohanĩria, no nginya ciumio nja ya kambĩ; njũa ciacio na nyama, na mahu ciothe icinwo ihĩe biũ.
The remains of the bull used for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to purify it, must be taken outside the camp. Their skin, meat, and waste must be burned.
28 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgacicina no nginya agaathambia nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ; thuutha ũcio no acooke atoonye kambĩ.
The person who burns them must wash his clothes and wash himself with water; then he may come back into the camp.
29 “Ũndũ ũyũ ũgũtuĩka watho mwandĩke wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ inyuĩ: Mũthenya wa ikũmi mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja no nginya mwĩimage irio, na mũtikarutage wĩra o na ũrĩkũ, arĩ mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu, kana arĩ mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ,

33 na ahoroherie Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na kĩgongona, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na andũ othe a mũingĩ wa Isiraeli.
He will carry out the purification of the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, also making right the priests and all the people.
