< Leviticus 6 >
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
2 If a soul sins, and commits a trespass against Jehovah, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or have oppressed his neighbor,
“Kama mtu yeyote akitenda dhambi, naye si mwaminifu kwa Bwana kwa kumdanganya jirani yake kuhusu kitu fulani alichokabidhiwa, au kimeachwa chini ya utunzaji wake, au kimeibwa, au kama akimdanganya,
3 or has found that which was lost, and deal falsely by it, and swears to a lie, in any of all these things that a man does, sinning by it,
au akiokota mali iliyopotea na akadanganya, au kuapa kwa uongo, au kama akitenda dhambi yoyote ambayo watu waweza kuitenda;
4 then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,
wakati akitenda dhambi hizo na kuwa mwenye hatia, ni lazima arudishe kile alichokuwa amekiiba au amekichukua kwa dhuluma, au alichokuwa amekabidhiwa, au mali iliyokuwa imepotea akaipata,
5 or anything about which he has sworn falsely, he shall even restore it in full, and shall add the fifth part more to it. He shall give it to him to whom it pertains, in the day of his being found guilty.
au chochote alichokuwa amekiapia kwa uongo. Lazima akirudishe kikamilifu, na aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, vyote ampe mwenye mali siku ile anapeleka sadaka yake ya hatia.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest.
Kisha kama adhabu lazima amletee kuhani, yaani kwa Bwana, kama sadaka yake ya hatia, kondoo dume asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani kamili kutoka kundi lake.
7 And the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah, and he shall be forgiven concerning whatever he does so as to be guilty by it.
Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mbele za Bwana, naye atasamehewa kwa kosa lolote katika mambo hayo aliyoyatenda yaliyomfanya kuwa na hatia.”
8 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night to the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
“Mpe Aroni na wanawe agizo hili: ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa: Sadaka ya kuteketezwa itabaki kwenye moto juu ya madhabahu usiku kucha, mpaka asubuhi, nao moto lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka juu ya madhabahu.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put his linen breeches upon his flesh, and he shall take up the ashes of the fire which has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
Kisha kuhani atavaa mavazi yake ya kitani, pamoja na nguo za ndani za kitani mwilini wake, na aondoe majivu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo moto umeteketeza juu ya madhabahu, na kuyaweka kando ya madhabahu.
11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
Kisha atayavua mavazi haya na kuvaa mengine, naye achukue yale majivu nje ya kambi na kuyapeleka mahali palipo safi kwa kawaida ya ibada.
12 And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.
Moto ulio juu ya madhabahu lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka, kamwe usizimike. Kila asubuhi kuhani ataongeza kuni na kupanga sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya moto, na kuteketeza mafuta ya sadaka za amani juu yake.
13 Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out.
Moto lazima uendelee kuwaka juu ya madhabahu mfululizo, kamwe usizimike.
14 And this is the law of the meal offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it before Jehovah, before the altar.
“‘Haya ndiyo masharti ya sadaka ya nafaka: Wana wa Aroni wataileta mbele za Bwana, mbele za madhabahu.
15 And he shall take up his handful from it, of the fine flour of the meal offering, and of the oil of it, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor, as the memorial of it, to Jehovah.
Kuhani atachukua konzi ya unga laini na mafuta, pamoja na uvumba wote ulioko juu ya sadaka ya nafaka, ateketeze sehemu ya kumbukumbu juu ya madhabahu kama harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
16 And that which is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place. They shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.
Aroni na wanawe watakula sehemu iliyobaki, lakini italiwa bila kutiwa chachu mahali patakatifu, nao wataila kwenye ua wa Hema la Kukutania.
17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire, it is most holy, as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
Kamwe haitaokwa na chachu; nimewapa kama fungu lao la sadaka iliyotolewa kwangu kwa moto. Ni takatifu sana, kama vile ilivyo sadaka ya dhambi na ya hatia.
18 Every male among the sons of Aaron shall eat of it, as a portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of Jehovah made by fire. Whoever touches them shall be holy.
Kila mwanaume mzao wa Aroni aweza kuila. Ni fungu lake la kawaida la sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto kwa vizazi vijavyo. Chochote kinachozigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.’”
19 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Tena Bwana akamwambia Mose,
20 This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to Jehovah in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening.
“Hii ni sadaka ambayo Aroni na wanawe wanapaswa kuleta kwa Bwana siku atakapotiwa mafuta: sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini kama sadaka ya kawaida ya nafaka. Nusu yake ataitoa asubuhi na nusu nyingine jioni.
21 It shall be made with oil on a baking-pan. Thou shall bring it in when it is soaked. Thou shall offer the meal offering in baked pieces for a sweet savor to Jehovah.
Iandae kwa mafuta kwenye kikaango; ilete ikiwa imechanganywa vizuri, na utoe hiyo sadaka ya nafaka ikiwa imevunjwa vipande vipande kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
22 And the anointed priest who shall be in his stead from among his sons shall offer it. It shall be wholly burnt to Jehovah by a statute forever.
Mwanawe atakayeingia mahali pake kama kuhani aliyetiwa mafuta ndiye atakayeiandaa. Ni fungu la kawaida la Bwana, nalo litateketezwa kabisa.
23 And every meal offering of the priest shall be wholly burnt; it shall not be eaten.
Kila sadaka ya nafaka ya kuhani itateketezwa kabisa; kamwe haitaliwa.”
24 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
25 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed the sin offering shall be killed before Jehovah. It is most holy.
“Mwambie Aroni na wanawe: ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi: Sadaka ya dhambi itachinjiwa mbele za Bwana mahali sadaka ya kuteketezwa huchinjiwa, ni takatifu sana.
26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting.
Kuhani anayeitoa ndiye atakayeikula; itakuliwa katika mahali patakatifu, katika ua wa Hema la Kukutania.
27 Whatever shall touch the flesh of it shall be holy. And when there is of the blood sprinkled upon any garment, thou shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place.
Chochote kitakachogusa nyama yoyote ya hiyo sadaka kitakuwa kitakatifu, na kama hiyo damu itadondokea juu ya vazi, lazima uifulie mahali patakatifu.
28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken, and if it be boiled in a brazen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water.
Chungu cha udongo kitakachopikiwa nyama lazima kivunjwe, lakini kama imepikiwa kwenye chombo cha shaba, chombo hicho kitasuguliwa na kusuuzwa kwa maji.
29 Every male among the priests shall eat of it. It is most holy.
Kila mwanaume katika familia ya kuhani aweza kula nyama hiyo; ni takatifu sana.
30 And no sin offering, from which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire.
Lakini kila sadaka ya dhambi ambayo damu yake imeletwa ndani ya Hema la Kukutania kufanya upatanisho katika Mahali Patakatifu kamwe haitaliwa; lazima iteketezwe.
