Alawii 1

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

Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from 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 people of Israel and tell them, 'When any man from among you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring as your offering one of your animals, either from the herd or 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 must offer a male without blemish. He is to offer it at the entrance of the tent of meeting, so that it may be accepted before Yahweh.

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 is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and then it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for himself.

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.

Then he must kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, will present the blood and sprinkle it on the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

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

Then he must skin the burnt offering and cut it to pieces.

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

Then the sons of Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar and place wood to feed 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.

Aaron's sons, the priests, are to place 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 inner parts and its legs he must wash with water. Then the priest will burn everything on the altar as a burnt offering. It will produce a sweet aroma for me; it will be an offering made to me by fire.

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 for the burnt offering is from the flock, one of the sheep or one of the goats, he must 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 must kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, will sprinkle its blood on every side of 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.

Then he must cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest will 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 inner parts and the legs he must wash with water. Then the priest will offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, and it will produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh; it will be an offering made to him by fire.

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

If his offering to Yahweh is to be a burnt offering of birds, then he must bring as his offering either a dove or a young pigeon.

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 must bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. Then its blood must 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.

He must remove its crop with its contents, and throw it beside the altar on the east side, in the place for 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 must tear it open by its wings, but he must not divide it into two parts. Then the priest will burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It will be a burnt offering, and it will produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh; it will be an offering made to him by fire.
