< Leviticus 23 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even 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 work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work in it: it is the sabbath of 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 of the LORD, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
“‘Ici nĩcio ciathĩ iria ciathanĩtwo cia Jehova, nĩcio ciũngano iria theru, iria mũrĩhunjanagĩria mahinda ma cio makinya.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at evening 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 the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD: seven days ye must 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 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it.
Mũthenya wa mbere mũgĩe na kĩũngano gĩtheru, na mũtikarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it.
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 say to them, When ye shall have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits 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 wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Nake athũngũthie kĩohe kĩu mbere ya Jehova nĩguo gĩĩtĩkĩrĩke handũ-inĩ hanyu; mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agagĩthũngũthia mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf a male lamb without blemish of the first year for a 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 shall be two tenth parts of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a sweet savour: and its drink offering shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
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 ye shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor new growth, until the same day that ye have brought an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever 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 ye shall count to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
“‘Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ũrũmĩrĩire Thabatũ, mũthenya ũrĩa mwatwarire kĩohe kĩa iruta rĩa gũthũngũthio, mũgatara ciumia ingĩ mũgwanja.
16 Even to the next day after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer 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 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth parts: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits 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 ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour 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 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
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 wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
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 ye shall proclaim on the same day, that it may be an holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work in it: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
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 ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them to the poor, and to 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, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an 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 Ye shall do no servile work in it: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire 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 there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation to you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire 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 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an 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 For whatever soul it may be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũtakeima irio mũthenya ũcio nĩakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
30 And whatever soul it may be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
Mũndũ o wothe ũkaaruta wĩra mũthenya ũcio nĩngamũniina kuuma thĩinĩ wa andũ ao.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ. Ũyũ ũgũtuĩka watho mwandĩke wa gũtũũra nginya harĩ njiarwa iria igooka, o kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra.
32 It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
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, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for 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 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it.
Mũthenya wa mbere nĩ wa kĩũngano gĩtheru; mũtikanarute wĩra ũrĩa mũrutaga.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation to you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work in it.
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 of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon 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 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye 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 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast to the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
“‘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 ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
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.
