1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Wee, na ariũ aku, na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo, nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mangĩĩkwo makoniĩ handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na wee na ariũ aku inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mangĩĩkwo makoniĩ wĩra wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and the house of thy father with thee, shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, —and, thou, and thy sons with thee, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
2 Rehe Alawii a mbarĩ yanyu, a mũhĩrĩga wa maithe manyu, nĩguo manyiitane na inyuĩ na mamũteithagĩrĩrie rĩrĩa wee na ariũ aku mũgũtungata mbere ya Hema-ya-Ũira.
Therefore also thy brethren of the tribe of Levi the stem of thy father, bring thou near with thee, and let them be joined unto thee, and let them wait upon thee, —both on thee and on thy sons with thee, before the tent of the testimony.
3 Acio nĩwe marĩathĩkagĩra na marutage wĩra wothe wa Hema ĩyo, no matikanakuhĩrĩrie indo cia handũ hau haamũre kana kĩgongona, kana wee hamwe nao mũkue.
So shall they keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tent, —only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary, and unto the altar, shall they not come near, lest they die—both they, and ye.
4 Marĩrutithanagia wĩra na inyuĩ na mamenyagĩrĩre Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, marutage wĩra wothe wa Hema ĩyo na gũtikagĩe na mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩkuhĩrĩria harĩa mũrĩ.
So shall they be joined unto thee, and shall keep the charge of the tent of meeting, as to all the laborious work of the tent, —but a stranger, shall not come near unto you.
5 “Nĩ wĩra wanyu kũmenyerera handũ hau haamũre o na kĩgongona, nĩguo mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova matikanakinyĩre andũ a Isiraeli rĩngĩ.
So shall ye keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, —that there no more be wrath against the sons of Israel.
6 Niĩ mwene nĩthuurĩte Alawii athiritũ anyu kuuma thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli matuĩke kĩheo kĩanyu, maamũrĩirwo Jehova nĩguo marutage wĩra wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
I, therefore, lo! I have taken your brethren the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —unto you, as a gift are they given, unto Yahweh, to do the laborious work of the tent of meeting.
7 No rĩrĩ, no wee na ariũ aku mũrĩĩtungataga ta athĩnjĩri-Ngai maũndũ-inĩ mothe ma kĩgongona, na mũtungatage o na mwena ũcio ũngĩ wa gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa kũhakania. Niĩ nĩndamũhe ũtungata wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ta kĩheo. Mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩkuhĩrĩria handũ hau haamũre no nginya ooragwo.”
But thou and thy sons with thee, shall keep the charge of your priesthood, as to every matter of the altar and as to the interior of the veil, and shall do the laborious work, as a laborious service of gifts, do I give your priesthood, and, the stranger who cometh near shall be put to death.
8 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Niĩ mwene nĩngũtuĩte mũmenyereri wa maruta marĩa ndehagĩrwo; maruta mothe maamũre marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marĩndutagĩra nĩ ndakũhe wee na ariũ aku matuĩke gĩcunjĩ gĩaku na rũgai rwaku rwa mahinda mothe.
And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, I, therefore, lo! I have given unto thee the charge of my heave-offerings, —as to all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel—unto thee, have I given them. as pertaining to the anointing, and unto thy sons. for a statute age-abiding,
9 Wee ũrĩheagwo gĩcunjĩ kĩa maruta marĩa maamũre mũno marĩa matarĩ ma gũcinwo na mwaki. Kuuma kũrĩ iheo ciothe iria andũ a Isiraeli marĩndutagĩra irĩ maruta maamũre mũno, marĩ ma mũtu, kana ma kũhoroherio mehia, kana maruta ma mahĩtia, gĩcunjĩ kĩu nĩ gĩaku na ciana ciaku.
This, shall be thine, out of the things most holy, out of the fire, —their every oblation—to the extent of their every meal-offering, and their every sin-bearer, and their every guilt-bearer wherewith they make amends unto me, most holy unto thee, shall it be and unto thy sons.
10 Rĩĩaga gĩcunjĩ kĩu ta kĩndũ kĩamũre mũno; mũndũ mũrũme o wothe wa nyũmba yaku nĩagakĩrĩĩaga. Wee no nginya ũtuage atĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩu nĩ kĩamũre.
As something most holy, shall ye eat it, —every male, shall eat it, holy, shall it be unto thee.
11 “O na ningĩ ici no ciaku: kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩamũrĩtwo kuuma iheo ciothe cia gũthũngũthio cia andũ a Isiraeli. Icio nĩndakũhe wee, na ariũ aku, na airĩtu aku, ituĩke rũgai rwaku rwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Mũndũ o wothe wa nyũmba yaku ũtarĩ na thaahu no acirĩe.
This, therefore, shall be thine—the heave-offering of their gift even all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel, unto thee, have I given them and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee by a statute age-abiding, —every one that is clean in thy house, shall eat it.
12 “Nĩndakũhe maguta mothe marĩa mega mũno ma mũtamaiyũ na ndibei yothe ĩrĩa njega mũno ya mũhihano, na ngano ĩrĩa maheaga Jehova ĩrĩ maciaro ma mbere ma magetha mao.
All the best of oil, and all the best of new-wine and corn, —the firstfruits thereof which they shall give unto Yahweh, unto thee, have I given them.
13 Maciaro mothe ma bũrũri ma mbere marĩa marĩrehagĩra Jehova marĩtuĩkaga maku. Mũndũ o wothe wa nyũmba yaku ũtarĩ thaahu no amarĩe.
The firstfruits of all that is in their land which they shall bring in unto Yahweh, thine, shall it be, —every one that is clean in thy house, shall eat it:
14 “Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova nĩ gĩaku.
every devoted thing in Israel, thine, shall it be:
15 Marigithathi mothe, marĩ ma andũ kana ma nyamũ, marĩa marĩrutagĩrwo Jehova nĩ maku. No rĩrĩ, no nginya ũkũũrithagie irigithathi rĩothe rĩa kahĩĩ, na ũkũũrithagie irigithathi rĩa njamba rĩa nyamũ iria irĩ thaahu.
every thing that is born first of all flesh that may be offered unto Yahweh among men and among beasts, shall be thine, —only thou shalt, redeem, the firstborn of men, and the firstborn of unclean beasts, shalt thou redeem.
16 Marigithathi macio marĩ ma mweri ũmwe, no nginya ũkaamakũũrithia na thogora wa gũkũũrana ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo wa cekeri ithano cia betha, kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, ĩrĩa ĩrĩ na ũritũ wa geera mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
And, as to the redemption price thereof, from a month old, shalt thou redeem, by thine estimate five shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary, —twenty gerahs, it is.
17 “No mũtikanakũũrithie marigithathi ma ndegwa, kana ma ngʼondu, kana ma mbũri; icio nĩ nyamũre. Thakame yacio nĩĩminjaminjagwo kĩgongona-inĩ igũrũ, na maguta ma cio macinwo na mwaki nĩguo matuĩke igongona rĩ na mũtararĩko wa gũkenia Jehova.
Only a firstling ox or a firstling sheep or a firstling goat, shalt thou not redeem, hallowed, they are, —their blood, shalt thou dash against the altar and of their fat, shalt thou make a perfume, an altar-flame, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh:
18 Nyama ciacio nĩ ciaku, o ta ũrĩa gĩthũri kĩa igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio na kĩero kĩa ũrĩo irĩ ciaku.
and their flesh, shall be thine, —as the wave-breast and as the right leg, thine, shall it be:
19 Kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩamũragĩrwo Jehova nĩ andũ a Isiraeli kĩrĩ kĩamũre nĩndakũhe wee mwene, na ariũ aku, na airĩtu aku, kĩrĩ rũgai rwaku rwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa tene na tene gĩa cumbĩ mbere ya Jehova kũrĩ wee na njiaro ciaku.”
all the heave-offerings of the holy things which the sons of Israel shall heave up unto Yahweh, have I given unto thee and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee by a statute age-abiding, —an age-abiding covenant of salt, it is before Yahweh, for thee and for thy seed with thee.
20 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Wee ndũgakorwo na igai bũrũri-inĩ wao, kana ũgĩe na rũgai thĩinĩ wao; niĩ nĩ niĩ rũgai rwaku o na igai rĩaku thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.
Then said Yahweh unto Aaron: In their land, thou shalt have no inheritance, and no allotted portion, shalt thou have in their midst, —I, am thine allotted portion and thine inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.
21 “Nĩndahe Alawii icunjĩ ciothe cia ikũmi thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, arĩ rĩo igai rĩao nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũrĩa marutaga rĩrĩa megũtungata Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
And unto the sons of Levi, lo! I have given all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, —the allotted portion for their laborious work which, they are performing, the laborious work of the tent of meeting:
22 Kuuma rĩu andũ a Isiraeli matigakuhagĩrĩrie Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, kana macookererwo nĩ mehia mao, nao makue.
that the sons of Israel come near no more, unto the tent of meeting, —to bear sin, to die.
23 Alawii nĩo marĩrutaga wĩra Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo na nĩo marĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa meekĩirwo hau. Ũyũ nĩ watho wa gũtũũrio nĩ njiaro iria igooka. Matikagĩa na igai thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.
So shall the Levites themselves perform the laborious work of the tent of meeting, and, they, shall bear their iniquity, a statute age-abiding, unto your generations, and in the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance.
24 Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, ngũhe Alawii icunjĩ cia ikũmi iria andũ a Isiraeli marehaga irĩ maruta kũrĩ Jehova ituĩke igai rĩao. Nĩkĩo ndoigire igũrũ rĩao atĩrĩ: ‘Matikagĩa na igai thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.’”
Because the tenth of the sons of Israel which they shall offer up unto Yahweh as a heave-offering, have I given unto the Levites as an inheritance, —for this cause, said I regarding them, In the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance.
25 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
26 “Arĩria Alawii, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mwamũkĩra icunjĩ cia ikũmi kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli iria ndĩmũheete arĩ cio igai rĩanyu-rĩ, no nginya mũrehage gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi gĩa gĩcunjĩ kĩu, kĩrĩ iruta kũrĩ Jehova.
Unto the Levites, therefore shalt thou speak and shalt say unto them, When ye shall take of the sons of Israel the tenth which I have given unto you from them as your inheritance, then shall ye offer up therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, a tenth of the tenth.
27 Maruta manyu marĩtuĩkaga ta ngano ĩrĩa ĩrutĩtwo kĩhuhĩro-inĩ, kana ndibei ĩrĩa ĩrutĩtwo kĩhihĩro-inĩ.
So shall your heave-offering be reckoned your own, —as corn out of the threshing-floor, and as the abundance out of the wine-press.
28 Ũguo nĩguo o na inyuĩ mũrĩrutagĩra Jehova iruta kuuma kũrĩ icunjĩ cia ikũmi iria mũrĩamũkagĩra ciumĩte kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli. Kuuma kũrĩ icunjĩ icio cia ikũmi, no nginya mũnengagĩre Harũni mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova.
Thus, shall ye also, offer up the heave-offering of Yahweh, out of all your tenths which ye shall take from the sons of Israel, —and give therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Aaron the priest.
29 No nginya mũkarutagĩra Jehova gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩa kĩega mũno na kĩrĩa kĩamũre mũno kĩa indo ciothe iria mũheetwo.’
Out of all your gifts, shall ye offer up every heave-offering of Yahweh, —out of all the best thereof, the hallowed pert thereof out of it.
30 “Ĩra Alawii atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩrĩa mwaruta gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩa kĩega mũno-rĩ, kĩrĩtuĩkaga ta iruta rĩanyu riumĩte kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kana kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩa ndibei.
And thou shalt say unto them, —When ye offer the best thereof out of it, then shall it be reckoned to belong unto the Levites, as the increase of the threshing-floor and as the increase of the wine-press,
31 Inyuĩ na andũ a nyũmba cianyu no mũrĩĩre icio ingĩ handũ o hothe, nĩgũkorwo ũcio nĩ mũcaara wanyu nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wanyu kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
And ye shall eat it in any place, ye, and your household, —for a reward, it is unto you, the allotted portion for your laborious work in the tent of meeting.
32 Nĩ ũndũ wa kũruta gĩcunjĩ kĩu kĩega mũno gĩacio, mũtigaatuĩrwo mahĩtia nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũyũ; na ningĩ mũtigathaahia maruta marĩa maamũre ma andũ a Isiraeli, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigaakua.’”
And ye shall not by reason of it bear sin, when ye offer up the best thereof, out of it; and the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, shall ye not profane neither shall ye die.
