< Leviticus 23 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, The feasts of the Lord which you shall call holy assemblies, these are my feasts.
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ ciakwa iria ciathanĩtwo, o iria ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova, iria mũkaahunjanĩria ũhoro wacio atĩ nĩ ciũngano theru.
3 Six days shall you do works, but on the seventh day is the sabbath; a rest, a holy convocation to the Lord: you shall not do any work, it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings.
“‘Kũrĩ na mĩthenya ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa mũngĩruta wĩra, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩ Thabatũ ya kũhurũka, mũthenya wa kĩũngano gĩtheru. Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ; kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, ĩyo nĩ Thabatũ ya Jehova.
4 These [are] the feasts to the Lord, holy convocations, which you shall call in their seasons.
“‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ iria ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova, nĩcio ciũngano iria theru, iria mũrĩhunjanagĩria mahinda ma cio makinya.
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evening times is the Lord's passover.
Bathaka ya Jehova ĩrĩambagĩrĩria hwaĩ-inĩ kwaira, mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere.
6 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened bread to the Lord; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano, wa mweri ũcio nĩguo gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia kĩrĩambagĩrĩria, na kwa ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja no nginya mũrĩĩage mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia.
7 And the first day shall be a holy convocation to you: you shall do no servile work.
Mũthenya wa mbere mũgĩe na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
8 And you shall offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord seven days; and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: you shall do no servile work.
Mĩthenya mũgwanja rutagĩrai Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki. Na mũthenya wa mũgwanja, mũgĩage na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.’”
9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
10 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, When you shall enter into the land which I give you, and reap the harvest of it, then shall you bring a sheaf, the first fruits of your harvest, to the priest;
“Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũcio ngũmũhe na mũgethe magetha maguo, nĩmũkarehere mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩohe kĩa mbere kĩa ngano ĩrĩa mũkaagetha.
11 and he shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you. On the morrow of the first day the priest shall lift it up.
Nake athũngũthie kĩohe kĩu mbere ya Jehova nĩguo gĩĩtĩkĩrĩke handũ-inĩ hanyu; mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agagĩthũngũthia mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ.
12 And you shall offer on the day on which you bring the sheaf, a lamb without blemish of a year old for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
Mũthenya ũcio mũgaathũngũthia kĩohe kĩu, no nginya mũkaarutĩra Jehova iruta rĩa njino rĩa gatũrũme ka ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe gatarĩ na kaũũgũ,
13 And its meat-offering two tenth portions of fine flour mingled with oil: it is a sacrifice to the Lord, a smell of sweet savor to the Lord, and its drink-offering the fourth part of a hin of wine.
hamwe na iruta rĩarĩo rĩa mũtu wa gĩthimi gĩa icunjĩ igĩrĩ cia ikũmi cia eba ĩmwe ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũtukanĩtio na maguta, nĩrĩo iruta rĩrutĩirwo Jehova rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega, na iruta rĩa kũnyuuo, rĩrĩ gacunjĩ kamwe ka inya ka hini ĩmwe ya ndibei.
14 And you shall not eat bread, or the new parched corn, until this same day, until you offer the sacrifices to your God: [it is] a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Mũtikanarĩe mũgate o na ũrĩkũ, kana ngano ya kũhĩĩhio, kana ya mũgethano, o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa mũkaarehera Ngai wanyu iruta rĩĩrĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ ũtuĩke watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya kũrĩ njiarwa iria igooka, kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
15 And you shall number to yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day on which you shall offer the sheaf of the heave-offering, seven full weeks:
“‘Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ, mũthenya ũrĩa mwatwarire kĩohe kĩa iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio, mũgatara ciumia ingĩ mũgwanja.
16 until the morrow after the last week you shall number fifty days, and shall bring a new meat-offering to the Lord.
Mũtare matukũ mĩrongo ĩtano kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ ya kũhingithia mũgwanja, mũcooke mũrutĩre Jehova iruta rĩa mũtu wa ngano ya mũgethano.
17 You shall bring from your dwelling loaves, as a heave-offering, two loaves: they shall be of two tenth portions of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven of the first fruits to the Lord.
Kuuma kũrĩa guothe mũtũũraga, mũrehe mĩgate ĩĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na tũcunjĩ twĩrĩ twa ikũmi twa eba ĩmwe ya mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, ĩrugĩtwo na ndawa ya kũimbia, ĩtuĩke ya iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio rĩa maciaro ma mbere marutĩirwo Jehova.
18 And you shall bring with the loaves seven unblemished lambs of a year old, and one calf of the herd, and two rams without blemish, and they shall be a whole burnt offering to the Lord: and their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings [shall be] a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
Rutanĩriai mĩgate ĩyo na tũtũrũme mũgwanja, o kamwe karĩ na ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, na tũtarĩ na kaũũgũ, na gategwa kamwe, na ndũrũme igĩrĩ. Nacio igaatuĩka iruta rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova, hamwe na maruta macio ma mũtu na ma kũnyuuo, rĩĩrĩ nĩ iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki, rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
19 And they shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs of a year old for a peace-offering, with the loaves of the first fruits.
Mũcooke mũrute thenge ĩmwe ya igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia, na tũtũrũme twĩrĩ, o kamwe karĩ na ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, twa iruta rĩa ũiguano.
20 And the priest shall place them with the loaves of the first fruits an offering before the Lord with the two lambs, they shall be holy to the Lord; they shall belong to the priest that brings them.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagathũngũthia tũtũrũme tũu tweerĩ mbere ya Jehova, tũtuĩke iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio, hamwe na mĩgate ĩyo ya maciaro ma mbere. Macio nĩ maruta matheru marutĩirwo Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
21 And you shall call this day a convocation: it shall be holy to you; you shall do no servile work on it: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations in all your habitations.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio, nĩmũkahunjanĩria kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga. Ũyũ nĩguo ũgaatuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka, o kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
22 And when you shall reap the harvest of your land, you shall not fully reap the remainder of the harvest of your field when you reap, and you shall not gather that which falls from your reaping; you shall leave it for the poor and the stranger: I [am] the Lord your God.
“‘Rĩrĩa mũkaagetha irio bũrũri-inĩ wanyu, mũtikanagethe nginya ndeere-inĩ cia mĩgũnda yanyu, o na mũtikanonganie rũitĩki rwa magetha manyu. Rũtigagĩriei andũ arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa ageni. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a rest, a memorial of trumpets: it shall be to you a holy convocation.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mũgwanja-rĩ, nĩmũrĩgĩaga na mũthenya wa kũhurũka, kĩũngano gĩtheru, na ũririkanagwo na ũndũ wa kũhuha tũrumbeta.
25 You shall do no servile work, and you shall offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
Mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga, no mũrutagĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki.’”
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month is a day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall humble your souls, and offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
“Mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri ũyũ wa mũgwanja, nĩguo Mũthenya wa Kũhoroherio Mehia. Mũgĩage na kĩũngano gĩtheru na mwĩimage irio, na mũrutagĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki.
28 You shall do no work on this self-same day: for this is a day of atonement for you, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.
Mũtikanarute wĩra mũthenya ũcio, tondũ nĩguo Mũthenya wa Kũhoroherio Mehia, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũrahoroherio mehia mbere ya Jehova-Ngai wanyu.
29 Every soul that shall not be humbled in that day, shall be cut off from among its people.
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũtakeima irio mũthenya ũcio nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
30 And every soul which shall do work on that day, that soul shall be destroyed from among its people.
Mũndũ o wothe ũkaaruta wĩra mũthenya ũcio nĩngamũniina kuuma thĩinĩ wa andũ ao.
31 You shall do no manner of work: it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your habitations.
Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ. Ũyũ ũgũtuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka, o kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
32 It shall be a holy sabbath to you; and you shall humble your souls, from the ninth day of the month: from evening to evening you shall keep your sabbaths.
Ĩyo nĩ Thabatũ yanyu ya kũhurũka, na no nginya mwĩime irio. Kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri o ro ũcio nginya hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ, nĩmũrĩmenyagĩrĩra Thabatũ yanyu.”
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
34 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be a feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa mũgwanja nĩguo Gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova gĩa Ithũnũ gĩkaambĩrĩria, na gĩgaaikara mĩthenya mũgwanja.
35 And on the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.
Mũthenya wa mbere nĩ wa kĩũngano gĩtheru; mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
36 Seven days shall you offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, and the eighth-day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord: it is a time of release, you shall do no servile work.
Mĩthenya mũgwanja mũkaarutagĩra Jehova maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki, naguo mũthenya wa ĩnana-rĩ, mũgĩe na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũrutĩre Jehova iruta rĩa gũcinwo na mwaki. Mũthenya ũcio nĩguo wa kũhinga kĩũngano; mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
37 These [are] the feasts to the Lord, which you shall call holy convocations, to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, whole burnt offerings and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings, that for each day on its day:
(“‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ cia Jehova iria ciathanĩtwo, iria mũkaahunjanĩria irĩ ciũngano theru cia kũrehere Jehova maruta ma gũcinwo na mwaki, na nĩmo maruta ma njino, na maruta ma mũtu, na magongona na maruta ma kũnyuuo marĩa marĩbataranagia o mũthenya.
38 besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides your free will offerings, which you shall give to the Lord.
Maruta maya nĩ ma kuongererwo harĩ marĩa mangĩ ma Thabatũ cia Jehova na nyongerera ya iheo cianyu na kĩrĩa gĩothe mwĩranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa, na maruta mothe ma kwĩyendera marĩa mũrutagĩra Jehova.)
39 And on the fifteenth day of this seventh month, when you shall have completely gathered in the fruits of the earth, you shall keep a feast to the Lord seven days; on the first day there shall be a rest, and on the eighth day a rest.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kwambĩrĩria mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa mũgwanja, mwarĩkia kũgetha irio bũrũri-inĩ, nĩ mũgaakũngũĩra gĩathĩ kĩu kĩa Jehova mĩthenya mũgwanja. Mũthenya wa mbere nĩ wa kũhurũka, na mũthenya wa ĩnana o naguo no wa kũhurũka.
40 And on the first day you shall take goodly fruit of trees, and branches of palm trees, and thick boughs of trees, and willows, and branches of osiers from the brook, to rejoice before the Lord your God seven days in the year.
Mũthenya wa mbere nĩmũkooya maciaro marĩa mega mũno ma mĩtĩ, na mathĩgĩ ma mĩtende, na honge cia mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ na mathangũ maingĩ, na cia mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩmeraga tũrũũĩ-inĩ, na mũkene mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai wanyu mĩthenya mũgwanja.
