Alawii 17

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying: —

2 “Arĩria Harũni, na ariũ ake na andũ othe a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova aathanĩte:

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, saying:

3 Mũndũ o wothe Mũisiraeli ũrĩĩrutaga igongona rĩa ndegwa, kana rĩa gatũrũme, kana rĩa mbũri thĩinĩ wa kambĩ kana nja ya kambĩ,

What man soever, there be of the house of Israel, who slayeth an ox or lamb or goat, in the camp, —or who slayeth it outside the camp;

4 handũ ha kũrĩrehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, arĩrute rĩrĩ igongona rĩa kũrutĩrwo Jehova hau mbere ya Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩagatuuo arĩ na mahĩtia ma gũita thakame; mũndũ ũcio nĩaitĩte thakame, na no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.

and, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, bringeth it not in, to present it as an oblation unto Yahweh, before the habitation of Yahweh, blood, shall be imputed to that man—blood, hath he shed, therefore shall that man be cut off from the midst of his people:

5 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩwagũtũma andũ a Isiraeli matwaragĩre Jehova magongona marĩa rĩu mararutĩrwo werũ-inĩ. No nginya mamarehagĩre mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũguo nĩ kuuga kũrĩ Jehova, hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, marutwo marĩ maruta ma ũiguano.

to the end that the sons of Israel may bring in their sacrifices which they are offering upon the face of the field, that they may bring them in unto Yahweh—unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, —and that so as peace-offerings unto Yahweh, they may offer them.

6 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaminjaminja thakame kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na acine maguta marĩ mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.

Then shall the priest dash the blood against the altar of Yahweh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, —and shall make a perfume of the fat, as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh;

7 Matikanacooke o na rĩ kũruta magongona mao o na marĩkũ kũrĩ mĩhianano ya mbũri ĩrĩa mahũũraga ũmaraya nayo. Ũyũ nĩ watho mwandĩke wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe kũrĩ o, na kũrĩ njiarwa iria igooka.’

so shall they no more offer their sacrifices unto demons after whom they are unchastely going away, —a statute age-abiding, shall this be to them unto their generations.

8 “Meere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũisiraeli o wothe, kana mũgeni o na ũrĩkũ ũtũũranagia nao, ũkaaruta iruta rĩa njino, kana arute igongona,

Wherefore, unto them, shalt thou say: What man soever, there may be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, —who causeth to go up an ascending-offering, or a sacrifice;

9 na ndarĩtware hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo arĩrutĩre Jehova-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.

and unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, doth not bring it in, to offer it unto Yahweh, then shall that man be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

10 “‘Mũisiraeli wothe kana mũgeni o wothe ũtũũranagia nao ũkaarĩa thakame o yothe, nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio ũrĩĩte thakame, na nĩngamũingata kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.

And, what man soever, there may be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, that partaketh of any manner of blood, then will I set my face against the person that partaketh of the blood, and will cut him off from the midst of his people.

11 Nĩgũkorwo muoyo wa kĩũmbe ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa thakame, na nĩyo ndĩmũheete mwĩhorohagĩrie nayo kĩgongona-inĩ; thakame nĩyo ĩhorohagĩria muoyo wa mũndũ.

For as for the life of the flesh, in the blood, it is, therefore have, I, given it unto you upon the altar, to put a propitiatory-covering over your lives, —for the blood, it is, which, by virtue of the life, maketh propitiation.

12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngwĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrĩa thakame, o na mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ ndakanarĩe thakame.”

For this cause, have I said unto the sons of Israel, Not a person from among you shall partake of blood, —Even the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst, shall not partake of blood.

13 “‘Mũisiraeli o wothe, kana mũgeni o wothe ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ, ũkaaguĩma nyamũ kana nyoni o yothe ĩngĩrĩĩo, no nginya agaita thakame yayo thĩ, acooke amĩthike na tĩĩri,

And, what man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, who taketh by hunting any wild-beast or bird that may be eaten, then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust;

14 tondũ muoyo wa kĩũmbe gĩothe nĩ thakame yakĩo. Nĩkĩo njĩrĩĩte andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanarĩe thakame ya kĩũmbe o gĩothe, tondũ muoyo wa kĩũmbe nĩ thakame yakĩo; mũndũ o wothe ũngĩmĩrĩa no nginya aingatwo.”

for, as for the life of all flesh, the blood thereof, for the life thereof, standeth, therefore have I said unto the sons of Israel—Of the blood of no manner of flesh, shall ye partake, For, the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; whoso partaketh thereof, shall be cut off.

15 “‘Mũndũ o wothe, arĩ wa gũciarĩrwo bũrũri wanyu kana arĩ mũgeni, angĩkaarĩa nyamũ ĩkuĩte kana ĩtambuurangĩtwo nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka-rĩ, no nginya agaathambia nguo ciake na ethambe na maaĩ, na atiinde na thaahu nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ; thuutha ũcio nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu.

And, in the case of any person who eateth that which died of itself or was torn in pieces, whether he be home-born, or a sojourner, then shall he wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening, and then be clean.

16 No angĩkaaga gũthambia nguo ciake na aage gwĩthamba-rĩ, nĩagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio wake.’”

But, if he wash them not, and his flesh, he do not bathe, then shall he bear his iniquity.
