Alawii 19
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Arĩria kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩkai atheru tondũ niĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu, ndĩ mũtheru.
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Eternal 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.
Ye shall fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: 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 turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to yourselves: 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 offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.
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.
On the same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
7 Kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩarĩo kĩngĩkaarĩĩo mũthenya wa gatatũ, igongona rĩu ti rĩtheru na rĩtigetĩkĩrwo.
And if the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.
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 whoever eateth it shall bear his iniquity; because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his 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, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather up the gleanings of thy harvest.
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 glean thy vineyard, and the single grapes that drop in thy vineyard shalt thou not gather up; for the poor and the stranger shalt thou leave them: I am the Lord your God.
11 “‘Mũtikanaiye. “‘Mũtikanaheenanie. “‘Mũndũ ndakanaheenie ũrĩa ũngĩ.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor lie one to another.
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 by my name falsely, and thou shalt not thus profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
13 “‘Mũtikaheenie mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, muoe indo ciake kana mũmũtunye indo ciake. “‘Mũtikanaikarie mũcaara wa mũruti wa wĩra ũkinyie rũciũ.
Thou shalt not withhold any thing from thy neighbor, nor rob him: there shall not abide with thee the wages of him that is hired, through the night until morning.
14 “‘Mũtikanarume mũndũ ũtaiguaga, kana mũigĩre mũtumumu kĩndũ gĩa kũmũhĩnga, no mwĩtigagĩrei Ngai wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.
15 “‘Mũtikanoogomie kĩhooto; ndũkanacaĩre mũndũ tondũ nĩ mũthĩĩni kana mũndũ mũnene ũrĩ igweta, no tuagĩrai mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ciira na kĩhooto.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
16 “‘Mũtikanorũũre mũgĩcambanagia gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ anyu. “‘Mũtikaneke ũndũ ũngĩrehere mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ũgwati. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand [idly] by the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord.
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 thy heart: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin on account of him.
18 “‘Ndũkanerĩhĩrie kana ũtume mũndũ wanyu ũthũ, no endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ o ta ũrĩa wĩyendete wee mwene. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor 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.
My statutes shall ye keep; thy cattle shalt thou not let gender with a diverse kind; thy field shalt thou not sow with mingled seeds; and a garment of mingled kinds, of linen and woollen, shall not come upon thee.
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 a man lie carnally with a woman, that is a bond-maid, betrothed to a man, but who hath neither been redeemed, nor hath her freedom been given her: there shall a scourging be decreed; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
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 his trespass-offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 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 an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath committed.
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 when ye come into the land, and plant any kind of tree bearing edible fruit, then shall ye count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you, it shall not be eaten.
24 Mwaka wa kana, maciaro mothe mayo nĩmagatuĩka matheru, matuĩke maruta ma kũgoocithia Jehova.
But in the fourth year shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto 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 shall ye eat of its fruit, in order that it may increase unto you its productiveness: I am the Lord your God.
26 “‘Mũtikanarĩe nyama ĩrĩ na thakame thĩinĩ wayo. “‘Mũtigekage maũndũ ma kũragũra kana ma kũrogana.

My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

And if a stranger sojourn with thee, in your land, ye shall not vex 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.
As one born in the land among you, shall be unto you the stranger that sojourneth with you, 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
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.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
37 “‘Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa cia watho ciothe na mawatho makwa mothe, na mũmarũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
Ye shall therefore observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord.
