Alawii 24
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Atha andũ a Isiraeli makũrehere maguta marĩa makeere wega ma ndamaiyũ hihe ma gũkũheaga ũtheri, nĩgeetha matawa maikarage maakanĩte hĩndĩ ciothe.
“Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
3 Nja ya gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira o kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo-rĩ, Harũni nĩamenyagĩrĩre matawa macio mbere ya Jehova kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ o nginya rũciinĩ, hĩndĩ ciothe. Ũndũ ũyũ ũgaatuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra wa njiarwa iria igooka.
Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
4 Matawa macio marĩ mbere ya Jehova, o macio maigĩrĩirwo mũtĩ-inĩ wa matawa wa thahabu ĩrĩa therie no nginya mamenyagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 “Oya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, ũthondeke mĩgate ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, o mũgate ũmwe ũrugwo na tũcunjĩ twĩrĩ twa ikũmi twa eba ĩmwe.
“Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
6 Ũcooke ũmĩare mĩhari ĩĩrĩ, o mũhari mĩgate ĩtandatũ, ũmĩigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa metha ya thahabu therie hau mbere ya Jehova.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Na o mũhari-inĩ nĩhaigwo ũbani ũrĩa mũtherie ũtuĩke gĩcunjĩ gĩa kĩririkano ũrũgamĩrĩire mĩgate ĩyo, na ũtuĩke iruta rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova na mwaki.
Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
8 Mĩgate ĩyo nĩ ĩigagwo mbere ya Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe, o Thabatũ o Thabatũ, ĩrũgamagĩrĩre andũ a Isiraeli, ĩtuĩke kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra.
New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
9 Mĩgate ĩyo nĩ ya Harũni na ariũ ake, nao mamĩrĩagĩre handũ hatheru, nĩ tondũ mĩgate ĩyo nĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩtheru mũno harĩ rwĩga rwao rwa maruta marĩa marutĩirwo Jehova ma gũcinwo na mwaki.”
The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
10 Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wa mũtumia Mũisiraeli, no ithe aarĩ Mũmisiri, nĩathiire gũceerera andũ a Isiraeli, nake mũndũ ũcio na Mũisiraeli makĩrũa marĩ kũu kambĩ.
There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
11 Ũcio mũrũ wa mũtumia Mũisiraeli nĩarumire Rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai na kĩrumi; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũtwarĩra Musa. (Nyina wa mũndũ ũcio eetagwo Shelomithu, mwarĩ wa Dibiri ũrĩa Mũdani.)
12 Makĩmũikia thĩinĩ, makĩmũrangĩra nginya rĩrĩa mangĩamenyire wega wendi wa Jehova.
So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
13 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 “Twara mũrumani ũcio nja ya kambĩ. Andũ arĩa othe maamũiguire akĩrumana mamũigĩrĩre moko mũtwe, nakĩo kĩũngano gĩothe kĩmũhũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
“[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at him.
15 Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkaaruma Ngai wake, no nginya agaacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio ekĩte:
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkaaruma rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova no nginya akooragwo. Kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli no nginya gĩkaamũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Aakorwo arĩ mũgeni kana arĩ mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, rĩrĩa akaaruma Rĩĩtwa rĩu rĩa Jehova, no nginya akooragwo.
So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
17 “‘Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkooraga mũndũ ũngĩ, no nginya nake akooragwo.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩũraga nyamũ ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, no nginya akaamĩrĩha, nyamũ ĩrĩhwo na nyamũ ĩngĩ.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩgatiihia ũrĩa ũngĩ, o ũrĩa ekanĩte no nginya nake ekwo o ũguo:
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 Mũndũ oina mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ihĩndĩ, nake akoinwo ihĩndĩ, riitho rĩrĩhagio na riitho, igego rĩrĩhagio na igego. O ũrĩa mũndũ atiihĩtie mũndũ ũngĩ, o nake atiihio o ro ũguo.
If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
21 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkooraga nyamũ nĩakamĩrĩha, no ũrĩa ũkooraga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ no nginya akooragwo.
Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
22 Mũrĩkoragwo na watho o ro ũmwe ũkoniĩ mũgeni na mũndũ ũrĩa ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
23 Nake Musa akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli, nao magĩtwara mũndũ ũcio warumĩte Ngai nja ya kambĩ, makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
