Alawii 19

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Arĩria kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩkai atheru tondũ niĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu, ndĩ mũtheru.

Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

3 “‘O mũndũ wanyu no nginya atĩĩe nyina na ithe, na no nginya mũrũmagie Thabatũ ciakwa. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.

Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.

4 “‘Mũtikanandirike, mũhooyage mĩhianano kana mwĩthondekere ngai cia kĩgera gĩtweketio. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.

Ye shall not follow idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.

5 “‘Rĩrĩa mũkũrutĩra Jehova igongona rĩa ũiguano, rĩrutagei na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩtũma igongona rĩu rĩanyu rĩĩtĩkĩrĩke.

And if ye will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, ye shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.

6 Igongona rĩu mũrĩrĩĩage o mũthenya ũcio rĩarutwo, kana mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ; kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩa rĩo kĩngĩtigara gĩkinyie mũthenya wa gatatũ, no nginya gĩcinwo kĩhĩe biũ.

In what day soever ye shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.

7 Kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩarĩo kĩngĩkaarĩĩo mũthenya wa gatatũ, igongona rĩu ti rĩtheru na rĩtigetĩkĩrwo.

And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.

8 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩrĩa mũthenya wa gatatũ, nĩagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio ekĩte, tondũ nĩathaahĩtie kĩndũ kĩarutĩirwo Jehova kĩrĩ gĩtheru; mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.

And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people.

9 “‘Rĩrĩa mũkũgetha irio bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, mũtikanagethe nginya ndeere-inĩ cia mĩgũnda yanyu, o na mũtikanonganie rũitĩki rwa magetha manyu.

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, ye shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and thou shalt not gather that which falls from thy reaping.

10 Mũtigacookage rĩngĩ kũhaara mĩgũnda-inĩ yanyu ya mĩthabibũ, o na mũtikahaarage thabibũ iria igũĩte thĩ. Citigagĩriei andũ arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa ageni. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.

And thou shalt not go over the gathering of thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the remaining grapes of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

11 “‘Mũtikanaiye. “‘Mũtikanaheenanie. “‘Mũndũ ndakanaheenie ũrĩa ũngĩ.

Ye shall not steal, ye shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.

12 “‘Mũtikanehĩte na maheeni mũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthaahie rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.

And ye shall not swear unjustly by my name, and ye shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God.

13 “‘Mũtikaheenie mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, muoe indo ciake kana mũmũtunye indo ciake. “‘Mũtikanaikarie mũcaara wa mũruti wa wĩra ũkinyie rũciũ.

Thou shalt not injure thy neighbour, neither do thou rob [him], neither shall the wages of thy hireling remain with thee until the morning.

14 “‘Mũtikanarume mũndũ ũtaiguaga, kana mũigĩre mũtumumu kĩndũ gĩa kũmũhĩnga, no mwĩtigagĩrei Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.

Thou shalt not revile the deaf, neither shalt thou put a stumbling-block in the way of the blind; and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord your God.

15 “‘Mũtikanoogomie kĩhooto; ndũkanacaĩre mũndũ tondũ nĩ mũthĩĩni kana mũndũ mũnene ũrĩ igweta, no tuagĩrai mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ciira na kĩhooto.

Thou shalt not act unjustly in judgment: thou shalt not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

16 “‘Mũtikanorũũre mũgĩcambanagia gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ anyu. “‘Mũtikaneke ũndũ ũngĩrehere mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ũgwati. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.

Thou shalt not walk deceitfully among thy people; thou shalt not rise up against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord your God.

17 “‘Ndũkanathũũre mũrũ wa thoguo ngoro-inĩ yaku. Kaanagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ maũndũ ũtekũhithĩrĩra nĩgeetha ndũkanagwatanĩre nake mahĩtia-inĩ make.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, so thou shalt not bear sin on his account.

18 “‘Ndũkanerĩhĩrie kana ũtume mũndũ wanyu ũthũ, no endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.

And thy hand shall not avenge thee; and thou shalt not be angry with the children of thy people; and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; I am the Lord.

19 “‘Rũmagiai uuge wakwa. “‘Ndũkanaciarithanie nyamũ itarĩ cia kĩruka kĩmwe. “‘Ndũkanahaande mũgũnda waku mbeũ mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ. “‘Ndũkanehumbe nguo ĩtumĩtwo na ndigi mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ ĩtahaanaine.

Ye shall observe my law: thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with one of a different kind, and thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diverse seed; and thou shalt not put upon thyself a mingled garment woven of two [materials].

20 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũndũ-wa-nja ngombo, nake aakorwo nĩmũũrie nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ, no ndakũũrĩtwo kana akarekererio, no nginya maherithio ta ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire. No matikooragwo, tondũ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ndatigĩte gũtuĩka ngombo.

And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, [and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited [with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.

21 Nake mũndũ mũrũme ũcio-rĩ, no nginya arute ndũrũme, amĩtware itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo ĩtuĩke iruta rĩa kũrutĩrwo Jehova rĩa kũhoroherio mahĩtia.

And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.

22 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakahoroheria mũndũ ũcio na ndũrũme ĩyo ya iruta rĩa mahĩtia, ĩrutĩrwo hau mbere ya Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩhia rĩu ehĩtie, nake nĩakarekerwo rĩĩhia rĩake.

And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him.

23 “‘Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũcio wa Kaanani, na mũhaande mĩtĩ ya mĩthemba yothe ĩciaraga maciaro-rĩ, nĩ mũgaatua atĩ maciaro macio marĩ na thaahu. Ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩtatũ nĩmũkamatua atĩ marĩ na thaahu, na matikanarĩĩo.

And whenever ye shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit-tree, then shall ye purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten.

24 Mwaka wa kana, maciaro mothe mayo nĩmagatuĩka matheru, matuĩke maruta ma kũgoocithia Jehova.

And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.

25 No mwaka wa gatano, no mũrĩe maciaro mayo. Ũguo nĩguo magetha manyu makoongerereka. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.

And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.

26 “‘Mũtikanarĩe nyama ĩrĩ na thakame thĩinĩ wayo. “‘Mũtigekage maũndũ ma kũragũra kana ma kũrogana.

Eat not on the mountains, nor shall ye employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.

27 “‘Mũtikanenje njuĩrĩ cianyu thikĩrĩrio-inĩ kana mũrenge mĩthia ya nderu cianyu.

Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.

28 “‘Mũtikanetemange mĩĩrĩ yanyu nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa akuũ, kana mwĩkĩre marũũri mĩĩrĩ-inĩ yanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.

And ye shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and ye shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.

29 “‘Ndũkanaagithie mwarĩguo gĩtĩĩo na ũndũ wa kũmũrekereria atuĩke mũmaraya, kana ũndũ ũcio ũtũme bũrũri ũgarũrũkĩre ũmaraya, na ũiyũrwo nĩ waganu.

Thou shalt not profane thy daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.

30 “‘Menyagĩrĩrai Thabatũ ciakwa, na mũtĩĩage handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.

31 “‘Mũtikanatuĩrie maũndũ kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩ maroho ma kũragũra kana arogi, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakamũgwatia thaahu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.

Ye shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.

32 “‘Rũgamagĩrai andũ arĩa akũrũ, mũmatĩĩage; heagai andũ arĩa akũrũ gĩtĩĩo, na mwĩtigagĩre Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord your God.

33 “‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgeni aatũũrania na inyuĩ bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, mũtikanamwĩke ũũru.

And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, ye shall not afflict him.

34 Mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ no nginya atuagwo taarĩ mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu. Mwendei ta ũrĩa mwĩendete inyuĩ ene, nĩgũkorwo o na inyuĩ mwarĩ ageni bũrũri wa Misiri. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.

The stranger that comes to you shall be among you as the native, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

35 “‘Mũtikahũthagĩre ithimi itarĩ cia kĩhooto rĩrĩa mũgũthima ũraihu, kana ũritũ, kana ũingĩ.

Ye shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.

36 Hũthagĩrai ithimi cia kĩhooto, na mahiga ma gũthima ma kĩhooto, na eba ya kĩhooto, na hini ya kĩhooto. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu ũrĩa wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.

There shall be among you just balances and just weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 “‘Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa cia watho ciothe na mawatho makwa mothe, na mũmarũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”

And ye shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and ye shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
