Alawii 1

1 Nake Jehova agĩĩta Musa akĩmwarĩria arĩ Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,

The LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

2 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũndũ wanyu o na ũrĩkũ arĩĩrutagĩra Jehova iruta, nĩarehage maruta ma nyamũ kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwa ngʼombe o na kana rwa mbũri.

"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

3 “‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu nĩ iruta rĩa njino kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwa ngʼombe-rĩ, nĩarutage nyamũ ya njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ. No nginya amĩneane mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo nĩgeetha etĩkĩrĩke harĩ Jehova.

"'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.

4 Mũndũ ũcio akaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino, nayo nĩĩgetĩkĩrwo handũ-inĩ hake, ĩtuĩke ya kũmũhoroheria.

He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 Nake nĩagethĩnjĩra gategwa kau arĩ mbere ya Jehova, nao ariũ a Harũni arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai moe na marehe thakame yako, mamĩminjaminjĩrie kĩgongona mĩena yothe mũromo-inĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.

And he shall kill the bull before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

6 Nĩakaruta nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino rũũa na amĩtinangie tũcunjĩ.

And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

7 Ariũ a Harũni ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmagaakia mwaki igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona na maare ngũ igũrũ rĩa mwaki ũcio.

The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

8 Ningĩ ariũ a Harũni, acio athĩnjĩri-Ngai, matandaiye tũcunjĩ tũu twa gategwa, o ro hamwe na mũtwe na maguta, igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra hau kĩgongona-inĩ.

and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

9 Ningĩ no nginya athambie nyama cia nda na mathagiro na maaĩ nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai acicinĩre ciothe hau kĩgongona-inĩ. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.

but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.

10 “‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino nĩ kuuma rũũru-inĩ, rĩrĩ iruta rĩa ngʼondu kana rĩa mbũri, akaaruta nyamũ ya njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ.

"'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11 Nake akaamĩthĩnja arĩ mbere ya Jehova, hau mwena wa gathigathini wa kĩgongona, nao ariũ a Harũni, acio athĩnjĩri-Ngai, moe thakame yayo, mamĩminjaminjĩrie kĩgongona kĩu mĩena yothe.

He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

12 Nĩagatinangia nyamũ ĩyo tũcunjĩ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atandaiye tũcunjĩ tũu twa nyamũ ĩyo, o ro hamwe na mũtwe na maguta, igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra hau kĩgongona-inĩ.

He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,

13 Ningĩ no nginya athambie nyama cia nda na mathagiro na maaĩ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai amĩrehe yothe na amĩcinĩre hau kĩgongona-inĩ. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.

but the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.

14 “‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino rĩa kũrutĩra Jehova nĩ rĩa nyoni-rĩ, akaaruta ndirahũgĩ, kana kĩana kĩa ndutura.

"'If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamĩrehe kĩgongona-inĩ, amĩthiore ngingo ĩtinĩke mũtwe, amĩcinĩre kĩgongona igũrũ; nayo thakame yayo ĩitwo hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona.

The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

16 No ambe arute kabutu kayo hamwe na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wako, agaikie mwena-inĩ wa irathĩro wa kĩgongona, harĩa mũhu ũitagwo.

and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

17 Nĩakamĩatũrania, na ũndũ wa kũguucia mathagu atekũmĩtinania biũ, nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai amĩcinĩre igũrũ rĩa ngũ icio irakanĩra igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona. Nĩ iruta rĩa njino, rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.

He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
