Alawii 23
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ ciakwa iria ciathanĩtwo, o iria ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova, iria mũkaahunjanĩria ũhoro wacio atĩ nĩ ciũngano theru.
“Tell the Israelites that these are my religious festivals, the festivals of the Lord that you are to call as the holy times when we meet together.
3 “‘Kũrĩ na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa mũngĩruta wĩra, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ ya kũhurũka, mũthenya wa kĩũngano gĩtheru. Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ; kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, ĩyo nĩ Thabatũ ya Jehova.
You have six days to work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy day of meeting together. Don't do any work. It is the Lord's Sabbath everywhere you live.
4 “‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ iria ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova, nĩcio ciũngano iria theru, iria mũrĩhunjanagĩria mahinda ma cio makinya.
These are the Lord's religious festivals, the holy meetings that you ate to announce at their specific times.
5 Bathaka ya Jehova ĩrĩambagĩrĩria hwaĩ-inĩ kwaira, mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere.
The Lord's Passover starts on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.
6 Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano, wa mweri ũcio nĩguo gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia kĩrĩambagĩrĩria, na kwa ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja no nginya mũrĩĩage mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia.
The Lord's Festival of Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day of the first month. For seven days the bread you eat must be made without yeast.
7 Mũthenya wa mbere mũgĩe na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
On the first day you are hold a holy meeting. You must not do any of your usual work.
8 Mĩthenya mũgwanja rutagĩrai Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki. Na mũthenya wa mũgwanja, mũgĩage na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.’”
For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. There is to be a holy meeting on the seventh day. You must not do any of your usual work.”
9 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
The Lord told Moses,
10 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũcio ngũmũhe na mũgethe magetha maguo, nĩmũkarehere mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩohe kĩa mbere kĩa ngano ĩrĩa mũkaagetha.
“Tell the Israelites that when you enter the land that I'm giving you and you harvest your crops, take a stack of grain from the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.
11 Nake athũngũthie kĩohe kĩu mbere ya Jehova nĩguo gĩĩtĩkĩrĩke handũ-inĩ hanyu; mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agagĩthũngũthia mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ.
He will wave the stack of grain before the Lord so that it may be accepted on your behalf. The priest is to do this the day following the Sabbath.
12 Mũthenya ũcio mũgaathũngũthia kĩohe kĩu, no nginya mũkaarutĩra Jehova iruta rĩa njino rĩa gatũrũme ka ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe gatarĩ na kaũũgũ,
When you wave the stack of grain, you are to present a one-year-old lamb without defects as a burnt offering to the Lord,
13 hamwe na iruta rĩarĩo rĩa mũtu wa gĩthimi gĩa icunjĩ igĩrĩ cia ikũmi cia eba ĩmwe ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũtukanĩtio na maguta, nĩrĩo iruta rĩrutĩirwo Jehova rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega, na iruta rĩa kũnyuuo, rĩrĩ gacunjĩ kamwe ka inya ka hini ĩmwe ya ndibei.
together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with olive oil (a food offering to the Lord to be accepted by him) and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine.
14 Mũtikanarĩe mũgate o na ũrĩkũ, kana ngano ya kũhĩĩhio, kana ya mũgethano, o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa mũkaarehera Ngai wanyu iruta rĩĩrĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ ũtuĩke watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya kũrĩ njiarwa iria igooka, kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
Don't eat any bread, roasted grain, or new grain until the time you bring this offering to your God. This regulation is for all time and for future generations everywhere you live.
15 “‘Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ, mũthenya ũrĩa mwatwarire kĩohe kĩa iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio, mũgatara ciumia ingĩ mũgwanja.
Count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath—the day you brought the stack of grain as a wave offering.
16 Mũtare matukũ mĩrongo ĩtano kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ ya kũhingithia mũgwanja, mũcooke mũrutĩre Jehova iruta rĩa mũtu wa ngano ya mũgethano.
Count fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and on that day present an offering of new grain to the Lord.
17 Kuuma kũrĩa guothe mũtũũraga, mũrehe mĩgate ĩĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na tũcunjĩ twĩrĩ twa ikũmi twa eba ĩmwe ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, ĩrugĩtwo na ndawa ya kũimbia, ĩtuĩke ya iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio rĩa maciaro ma mbere marutĩirwo Jehova.
Bring two loaves of bread from your homes as a wave offering. Make them from two-tenths of an ephah of best flour, baked with yeast, as the firstfruits to the Lord.
18 Rutanĩriai mĩgate ĩyo na tũtũrũme mũgwanja, o kamwe karĩ na ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, na tũtarĩ na kaũũgũ, na gategwa kamwe, na ndũrũme igĩrĩ. Nacio igaatuĩka iruta rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova, hamwe na maruta macio ma mũtu na ma kũnyuuo, rĩĩrĩ nĩ iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
As well as the bread, present seven one-year-old male lambs a year old without defects, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings, a food offering to the Lord to be accepted by him.
19 Mũcooke mũrute thenge ĩmwe ya igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na tũtũrũme twĩrĩ, o kamwe karĩ na ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, twa iruta rĩa ũiguano.
Present one male goat as a sin offering and two one-year-old male lambs a year old as a peace offering.
20 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagathũngũthia tũtũrũme tũu tweerĩ mbere ya Jehova, tũtuĩke iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio, hamwe na mĩgate ĩyo ya maciaro ma mbere. Macio nĩ maruta matheru marutĩirwo Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
The priest will wave the lambs as a wave offering before the Lord, along with the bread of the firstfruits. The bread and the two lambs are holy to the Lord and belong to the priest.
21 Mũthenya o ro ũcio, nĩmũkahunjanĩria kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga. Ũyũ nĩguo ũgaatuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka, o kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
That same day you are to announce a holy meeting, and you must not to do any of your usual work. This regulation is for all time and for future generations everywhere you live.
22 “‘Rĩrĩa mũkaagetha irio bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, mũtikanagethe nginya ndeere-inĩ cia mĩgũnda yanyu, o na mũtikanonganie rũitĩki rwa magetha manyu. Rũtigagĩriei andũ arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa ageni. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
When you harvest the crops grown on your land, don't harvest right up to the edges of your field, or collect what has been missed. Leave them for the poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.”
23 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
The Lord told Moses,
24 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mũgwanja-rĩ, nĩmũrĩgĩaga na mũthenya wa kũhurũka, kĩũngano gĩtheru, na ũririkanagwo na ũndũ wa kũhuha tũrumbeta.
“Tell the Israelites that on the first day of the seventh month you are to have a special Sabbath of complete rest, a holy meeting that is announced by the sound of trumpets.
25 Mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga, no mũrutagĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki.’”
Don't do any of your usual work; instead you are to present a food offering to the Lord.”
26 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
The Lord told Moses,
27 “Mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri ũyũ wa mũgwanja, nĩguo Mũthenya wa Kũhoroherio Mehia. Mũgĩage na kĩũngano gĩtheru na mwĩimage irio, na mũrutagĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki.
“The Day of Atonement is on the tenth day of this seventh month. You are to have a holy meeting, deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the Lord
28 Mũtikanarute wĩra mũthenya ũcio, tondũ nĩguo Mũthenya wa Kũhoroherio Mehia, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũrahoroherio mehia mbere ya Jehova-Ngai wanyu.
On this day you must not do any of your usual work because it is the Day of Atonement, when things are made right for you before the Lord your God.
29 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũtakeima irio mũthenya ũcio nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
Anyone who does not practice self-denial on this day must be expelled from their people.
30 Mũndũ o wothe ũkaaruta wĩra mũthenya ũcio nĩngamũniina kuuma thĩinĩ wa andũ ao.
I will destroy anyone of you who does any work on this day.
31 Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ. Ũyũ ũgũtuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka, o kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
Don't do any kind of work at all. This regulation is for all time and for future generations everywhere you live.
32 Ĩyo nĩ Thabatũ yanyu ya kũhurũka, na no nginya mwĩime irio. Kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri o ro ũcio nginya hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ, nĩmũrĩmenyagĩrĩra Thabatũ yanyu.”
It is to be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until evening the next day.”
33 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
The Lord told Moses,
34 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa mũgwanja nĩguo Gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova gĩa Ithũnũ gĩkaambĩrĩria, na gĩgaaikara mĩthenya mũgwanja.
“Tell the Israelites that the Feast of Tabernacles to honor the Lord begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and lasts for seven days.
35 Mũthenya wa mbere nĩ wa kĩũngano gĩtheru; mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
On the first day have a holy meeting. You must not do any of your usual work.
36 Mĩthenya mũgwanja mũkaarutagĩra Jehova maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki, naguo mũthenya wa ĩnana-rĩ, mũgĩe na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũrutĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki. Mũthenya ũcio nĩguo wa kũhinga kĩũngano; mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. On the eighth day you are to have another holy meeting and present a food offering to the Lord. It is a meeting for worship. You must not do any of your usual work.
37 (“‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ cia Jehova iria ciathanĩtwo, iria mũkaahunjanĩria irĩ ciũngano theru cia kũrehere Jehova maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki, na nĩmo maruta ma njino, na maruta ma mũtu, na magongona na maruta ma kũnyuuo marĩa marĩbataranagia o mũthenya.
(These are the Lord's holy festivals, which you are to announce as holy meetings for presenting food offerings to the Lord. These include burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each according to the specific day.
38 Maruta maya nĩ ma kuongererwo harĩ marĩa mangĩ ma Thabatũ cia Jehova na nyongerera ya iheo cianyu na kĩrĩa gĩothe mwĩranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa, na maruta mothe ma kwĩyendera marĩa mũrutagĩra Jehova.)
All of these offerings are in addition to those for the Lord's Sabbaths. They are also in addition to your gifts, to all your offerings to fulfill promises, and to all the freewill offerings you present to the Lord.)
39 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kwambĩrĩria mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa mũgwanja, mwarĩkia kũgetha irio bũrũri-inĩ, nĩ mũgaakũngũĩra gĩathĩ kĩu kĩa Jehova mĩthenya mũgwanja. Mũthenya wa mbere nĩ wa kũhurũka, na mũthenya wa ĩnana o naguo no wa kũhurũka.
You shall celebrate a feast to honor the Lord for seven days on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, once you have harvested your crops. The first day and the eighth day are Sabbaths of complete rest.
40 Mũthenya wa mbere nĩmũkooya maciaro marĩa mega mũno ma mĩtĩ, na mathĩgĩ ma mĩtende, na honge cia mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ na mathangũ maingĩ, na cia mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩmeraga tũrũũĩ-inĩ, na mũkene mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
On the first day you are to gather branches from large trees, from palm trees, from leafy trees and of river willows, and celebrate before the Lord your God for seven days.
41 Kũngũyagĩrai ũndũ ũyũ arĩ gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova mĩthenya mũgwanja o mwaka. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũtuĩke watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka; kũngũyagĩrai ũndũ ũcio mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja.
You are to hold this festival to honor the Lord for seven days every year. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
42 Ikaragai ithũnũ-inĩ mĩthenya mũgwanja. Andũ a Isiraeli arĩa othe maciarĩirwo Isiraeli magaaikaraga ithũnũ-inĩ,
You are to live in temporary shelters for seven days. Every Israelite born in the country must live in shelters,
43 nĩ ũndũ ũcio njiaro cianyu nĩikamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ ndaatũmire andũ a Isiraeli maikare ithũnũ-inĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
so that your descendants will remember that I made the Israelites live in shelters when I led them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
44 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩanĩrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ũhoro wa ciathĩ icio ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova.
So Moses told the Israelites all about the Lord's festivals.
