Alawii 4

1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli ũũ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩĩhia atekwenda, na eke ũndũ ũrĩa mũkananie thĩinĩ wa maathani mothe ma Jehova:

“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.

3 “‘Kũngĩkorwo nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũitĩrĩrie maguta wĩhĩtie na atũme andũ mahĩtie-rĩ, no nginya arehere Jehova ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ na ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ, ĩrĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroheria mehia macio ekĩte.

'If the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.

4 No nginya aneane ndegwa ĩyo mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo arĩ mbere ya Jehova. Nĩakaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wayo, na acooke amĩthĩnjĩre hau mbere ya Jehova.

He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].

5 Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũitĩrĩrie maguta nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya ndegwa ĩyo amĩtware thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.

Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

6 Na nĩagatobokia kĩara gĩake thakame-inĩ ĩyo, aminjaminje ĩmwe yayo mbere ya Jehova maita mũgwanja, hau mbere ya gĩtambaya kĩrĩa gĩa gũcuurio kĩa handũ-harĩa-haamũre.

He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

7 Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ahake hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩa ũbani ũrĩa mũnungi wega kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere ya Jehova kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Thakame ya ndegwa ĩyo ĩrĩa ĩgaatigara nĩakamĩita thĩ gĩtina-inĩ gĩa kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino hau mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

8 Nĩakaruta maguta mothe ma ndegwa ĩyo ya igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, namo nĩmo rũambũ rũrĩa ruothe rũhumbĩire nyama cia nda na rũrĩa rũnyiitaine nacio,

From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—

9 higo cierĩ hamwe na maguta marĩa macihumbĩire hakuhĩ na honge, na maguta marĩa mahumbĩire ini, amarutanĩrie na higo icio,

the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

10 akaaruta maguta macio o ta ũrĩa marutagwo ndegwa ĩrĩa ĩthĩnjagwo ĩrĩ iruta rĩa ũiguano. Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacicinĩra kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa igongona rĩa njino,

Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].

11 na rũũa rwa ndegwa ĩyo, na nyama ciayo ciothe hamwe, na mũtwe na mathagiro, na nyama cia nda na mahu,

But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,

12 ũguo nĩ ta kuuga nyama icio ingĩ ciothe cia ndegwa ĩyo, no nginya agaaciruta nja ya kambĩ, acitware handũ hatarĩ thaahu, harĩa mũhu ũitagwo, na acicinĩre na mwaki wa ngũ hau mũhu-inĩ ũcio.

he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.

13 “‘Na kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli kĩngĩkehia gĩtekwenda, gĩĩke ũndũ ũrĩa mũkananie thĩinĩ wa maathani mothe ma Jehova, o na angĩkorwo kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩtiũĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩkĩhĩtĩtie.

‘If all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.

14 Rĩrĩa gĩkaamenya mehia marĩa gĩĩkĩte, kĩũngano kĩu nĩgĩkaruta gategwa ka igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, kaneanwo mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.

When they realize that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.

15 Athuuri a kĩrĩndĩ kĩu nĩmakaigĩrĩra moko mao igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa ndegwa ĩyo mbere ya Jehova, nayo ndegwa ĩyo ĩthĩnjĩrwo o ro hau mbere ya Jehova.

The elders must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

16 Ningĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũitĩrĩrie maguta nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya ndegwa ĩyo amĩtoonyie thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.

Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

17 Nĩagatobokia kĩara gĩake thakame-inĩ ĩyo, amĩminjaminje mbere ya Jehova maita mũgwanja hau mbere ya gĩtambaya kĩrĩa gĩa gũcuurio.

‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

18 Nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ahake hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hau mbere ya Jehova kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Thakame ĩrĩa ĩgaatigara nĩakamĩita thĩ gĩtina-inĩ gĩa kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino hau mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

19 Nĩakamĩruta maguta mayo mothe amacinĩre igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona,

He must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar.

20 na eke ndegwa ĩyo o ta ũrĩa eekire ndegwa ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akamahoroheria mehia mao, nao nĩmakarekerwo.

He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.

21 Ningĩ nĩakoimia ndegwa ĩyo amĩtware nja ya kambĩ na amĩcine o ta ũrĩa aacinire ndegwa ĩrĩa ya mbere. Rĩu nĩrĩo igongona rĩa kũhoroheria mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ kĩu.

Then the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.

22 “‘Rĩrĩa mũtongoria angĩĩhia atekwenda, na eke ũndũ ũrĩa mũkananie thĩinĩ wa maathani mothe ma Jehova Ngai wake, nĩahĩtĩtie.

‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

23 Rĩrĩa angĩmenyithio mehia marĩa ekĩte, no nginya arehe thenge ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ ĩrĩ iruta rĩake.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.

24 Nĩakaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa thenge ĩyo na acooke amĩthĩnjĩre harĩa iruta rĩa njino rĩthĩnjagĩrwo hau mbere ya Jehova. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.

25 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya iruta rĩu rĩa mehia na kĩara gĩake, na amĩhake hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino, nayo thakame ĩyo ĩngĩ amĩite gĩtina-inĩ gĩa kĩgongona.

Then the priest must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26 Ningĩ nĩagacinĩra maguta mothe kĩgongona-inĩ igũrũ o ta ũrĩa aacinire maguta ma iruta rĩa ũiguano. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaahoroheria mehia ma mũndũ ũcio, nake nĩakarekerwo.

Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin and he will be forgiven.

27 “‘Mũndũ ũmwe thĩinĩ wa kĩrĩndĩ angĩĩhia atekwenda na eke ũndũ ũrĩa mũkananie thĩinĩ wa maathani mothe ma Jehova, nĩahĩtĩtie.

‘If one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

28 Rĩrĩa angĩmenyithio amenye mehia marĩa ekĩte, no nginya arehe harika ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ arĩ iruta rĩake nĩ ũndũ wa mehia macio ekĩte.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.

29 Nĩakaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa harika ĩyo ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na amĩthĩnjĩre harĩa iruta rĩa njino rĩthĩnjagĩrwo.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

30 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe na kĩara gĩake, na amĩhake hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino, nayo thakame ĩyo ĩngĩ amĩite gĩtina-inĩ gĩa kĩgongona.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Nĩakaruta maguta mothe o ta ũrĩa maguta marutagwo kuuma iruta rĩa ũiguano, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamacinĩra kĩgongona-inĩ igũrũ matuĩke mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaahoroheria mũndũ ũcio, nake nĩakarekerwo.

Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, and he will be forgiven.

32 “‘Angĩkaarehe kagondu karĩ iruta rĩake rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, nĩakarehe kamwatĩ gatarĩ na kaũũgũ.

‘If that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no defects.

33 Nĩakaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wako, na agathĩnje gatuĩke iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, agathĩnjĩre harĩa iruta rĩa njino rĩthĩnjagĩrwo.

He must lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

34 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakoya thakame ĩmwe ya iruta rĩu rĩa mehia na kĩara gĩake, nayo amĩhake hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩa iruta rĩa njino, nayo thakame ĩyo ĩngĩ amĩite gĩtina-inĩ gĩa kĩgongona.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

35 Nĩakaruta maguta mothe, o ta ũrĩa maguta marutagwo kuuma kũrĩ kagondu ka iruta rĩa ũiguano, na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamacinĩra kĩgongona-inĩ, maigĩrĩirwo igũrũ rĩa maruta marĩa marutĩirwo Jehova na mwaki. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaamũhoroheria nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa ekĩte, nake nĩakarekerwo.

Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
