< Leviticus 1 >

1 And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,
Nake Jehova agĩĩta Musa akĩmwarĩria arĩ Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
2 Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.
“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.
3 If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.
“‘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.
4 And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.
Mũndũ ũcio akaigĩrĩra guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa mũtwe wa nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino, nayo nĩĩgetĩkĩrwo handũ-inĩ hake, ĩtuĩke ya kũmũhoroheria.
5 And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.
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.
6 And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.
Nĩakaruta nyamũ ĩyo ya iruta rĩa njino rũũa na amĩtinangie tũcunjĩ.
7 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:
Ariũ a Harũni ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmagaakia mwaki igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona na maare ngũ igũrũ rĩa mwaki ũcio.
8 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
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.
9 But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
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.
10 And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.
“‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino nĩ kuuma rũũru-inĩ, rĩrĩ iruta rĩa ngʼondu kana rĩa mbũri, akaaruta nyamũ ya njamba ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ.
11 And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.
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.
12 And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
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.
13 But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
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.
14 And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons.
“‘Angĩkorwo iruta rĩu rĩa njino rĩa kũrutĩra Jehova nĩ rĩa nyoni-rĩ, akaaruta ndirahũgĩ, kana kĩana kĩa ndutura.
15 And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar:
Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakamĩrehe kĩgongona-inĩ, amĩthiore ngingo ĩtinĩke mũtwe, amĩcinĩre kĩgongona igũrũ; nayo thakame yayo ĩitwo hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona.
16 And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:
No ambe arute kabutu kayo hamwe na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wako, agaikie mwena-inĩ wa irathĩro wa kĩgongona, harĩa mũhu ũitagwo.
17 And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
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.
