ihĩtia¹

n. · class 5/6 · fault sin

1. fault, sin. Fault. A moral failing, wrongdoing, or transgression; sin or culpability; also refers to guilt or blame.

Example: Jer 31.31-34. Ĩndĩ Ngai nĩekuonania ihĩtia rĩao akamera ũũ: (But he finds fault with them and says: In citing Jeremiah the author follows the Septuagint; some apparent departures from it may be the result of a different Septuagintal text rather than changes deliberately introduced.); Na rĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo watho wa igongona rĩa ihĩtia; igongona rĩu nĩ rĩamũre mũno mũno. (These prescriptions may appear here rather than in 5:14–26 where this offering is first treated because the monetary equivalent of the offering might have been brought instead of an actual animal. See note on 5:15. Lv 5:14–26. This is the ritual for the reparation offering. It is most holy.)
