Leviticus 16
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the LORD.
Yahwe alizungumza na Musa - hii ni baada vifo vya wana wawili wa Haruni, walipomkaribia Yahwe na ndipo wakafa.
2 And the LORD said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron not to enter freely into the Most Holy Place behind the veil in front of the mercy seat on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
Yahwe alimwambia Musa, “Ongea na Haruni kaka yako na umwambie hapana kuja tu wakati wowote katika patakatifu pa patakatifu ndani ya pazia, mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho kilicho juu ya sanduku. Akifanya hivyo, anakufa, kwasababu naonekana katika wingu juu ya kifuniko cha upatanisho.
3 This is how Aaron is to enter the Holy Place: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
Hivi ndivyo jinsi Haruni lazima aje katika patakatifu pa patakatifu. Yeye lazima aingie pamoja na ndama kama sadaka ya dhambi, na kondoo dume kama sadaka ya dhambi.
4 He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.
Ni lazima avae kanzu ya kitatani, na lazima avae ndani yake nguo ya kitani, na lazima avae mshipi wa kitani na kilemba cha kitani. Haya ni mavazi matakatifu. Lazima aoge mwili wake katika maji na avae mavazi haya.
5 And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
Lazima achukue kwenye umati wa watu wa Israeli mbuzi wawili waume kama sadaka ya dhambi na kondoo dume moja ikiwa ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
6 Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
Ndipo Haruni lazima alete ng'ombe kama sadaka ya dhambi, ambayo itakuwa kwaajili yake mwenyewe, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na familia yake.
7 Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Ndipo lazima achukue mbuzi wawili na kuwaweka mbele ya Yahwe katika mlango wa kuingilia kwenye hema ya mkutano.
8 After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,
Ndipo Haruni lazima apige kura kwaajili ya mbuzi hao wawili, kura moja kwaajili ya Yahwe, na kura nyingine kwaajili ya msingiziwa.
9 he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
Ndipo Haruni lazima awasilishe mbuzi ambaye kura imeangukia kwa Yahwe, na kumtoa mbuzi huyo kama sadaka ya dhambi.
10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
Lakini mbuzi ambaye kura ya usingiziwa imemwangukia lazima aletwe kwa Yahwe akiwa hai, kufanya upatanisho kwa kumwachia aende porini kama, mbuzimsingiziwa.
11 When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering.
Pia Haruni lazima alete ng'ombe kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, ambayo itakuwa kwaajili yake mwenyewe, lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na familia yake, hivyo lazima yeye amuue huyo ng'ombe kama sadaka ya dhambi kwaajili yake mwenyewe.
12 Then he must take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and take them inside the veil.
Haruni lazima achukue chetezo iliyojaa mkaa wa moto kutoka kwenye madhabahu mbele ya Yahwe, na mikono imejaa ubani mzuri, na kuleta vitu hivi ndani ya pazia.
13 He is to put the incense on the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of incense will cover the mercy seat above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
Hapo lazima aweke ubani juu ya moto mbele za Yahwe ili kwamba wingu kutoka kwenye ubani liweze kufunika kifuniko cha agano la imani ya upatanisho. Yeye afanye hivyo ili kwamba asife.
14 And he is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the mercy seat; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the mercy seat.
Ndipo lazima achukue kiasi cha damu ya ng'ombe na kuinyunyiza kwa kidole chake mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho. Lazima anyunyize kiasi cha damu kwa kidole chake mara saba mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho.
15 Aaron shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull’s blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
Ndipo lazima aue mbuzi kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi ambayo ni kwaajili ya watu na kuileta damu yake ndani kwenye pazi. Hapo lazima aifanyie damu kama alivyofanya kwenye damu ya fahali: lazima ainyunyize juu ya kifuniko cha upatanisho na mbele ya kifunuko cha upatanisho.
16 So he shall make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the impurities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to do the same for the Tent of Meeting which abides among them, because it is surrounded by their impurities.
Yeye lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu kwa sababu ya matendo ya unajisi ya watu wa Israeli, na kwa sababu ya uasi na dhambi zao zote. Yeye pia lazima afanye haya kwaajili ya hema ya mkutano, ambapo Yahwe anaishi kati yao, katika uwepo wa matendo yao ya unajisi.
17 No one may be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly of Israel.
Hakuna mtu anayetakiwa kuwepo katika hema ya mkutano wakati Haruni anaingia kufanya upatanisho katika mahali patakatifu pa patakatifu, na mpaka atoke nje na amemaliza kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na kwaajili ya familia yake, na kwaajili umati wa Israeli.
18 Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.
Yeye lazima aende nje kwenye madhabahu hapo mbele za Yahwe na kufanya upatanisho kwaajili ya hiyo, na lazima achukue kiasi cha damu ya mbuzi na kuiweka juu ya pembe za madhabahu yote kuzunguka.
19 He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
Anatakiwa anyunyize kiasi cha damu juu yake kwa kidole chake mara saba kuitakasa na kuitenga maalumu kwa Yahwe, mbali kutoka matendo ya unajisi wa watu wa Israeli.
20 When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat.
Atakapo maliza kupatanisha kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu sana, hema la mkutano, na madhabahu, lazima amlete mbuzi aliyehai.
21 Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task.
Haruni lazima aweke mikono yake yote juu ya kichwa cha mbuzi huyu aliyehai na akiri juu yake maovu yote ya watu wa Israeli, uasi wao wote, dhambi zao zote. Ndipo lazima aweke dhambi hizo juu ya kichwa cha mbuzi na amwachie katika uangalizi wa mtu aliyetari kumwongoza mbuzi huyo porini.
22 The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
Mbuzi lazima abebe juu yake mwenyewe uovu wote kwenda mahali pakiwa. Kule msituni, huyo mtu amwache mbuzi aende huru.
23 Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen garments he put on before entering the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
Ndipo Haruni anapaswa kwenda tena humo kwenye hema ya mkutano na kuvua mavazi ya kitani ambayo amayavaa kabla hajaenda mahali patakatifu sana, na anatakiwa kuyaacha mavazi hayo pale.
24 He is to bathe himself with water in a holy place and put on his own clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering to make atonement for himself and for the people.
Anapaswa aoshe mwili wake kwa maji mahali patakatifu, na avae nguo zake za kawaida; pia lazima atoke nje kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwaajili ya wale watu, na kwa njia hii anafanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na kwaajili ya watu.
25 He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
Lazima yeye achome mafuta ya sadaka ya dhambi juu ya madhabahu.
26 The man who released the goat as the scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.
Huyu mtu anayemwacha mbuzi msingiziwa aende huru anafua nguo zake na kuosha mwili wake katika maji; baada ya hayo, anaweza kurudi tena kambini.
27 The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up.
Yule fahali kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi na mbuzi kwaajili ya sadaka za dhambi, ambaye damu yake ililetwa kufanya upatanisho katika mahali patakatifu, lazima ipelekwe nje ya kambi. kule lazima wachome, ngozi zao, nyama yao na kinyesi chao.
28 The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
Huyu anayechoma sehemu hizo lazima afue nguo zake na aoge mwili wake katika maji; baada ya hapo, anaweza kurudi tena kwenye kambi.
29 This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—
Hii itakuwa sharti kwaajili yenu kwamba katika mwezi wa saba, kwenye siku ya kumi ya mwezi, mtanyenyekea wenyewe na msifanye kazi, iwe mwenyeji wa kuzaliwa au mgeni anayeishi kati yenu.
30 because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
Hii ni kwasababu katika siku hii ya upatanisho utafanywa kwaajili yenu, kuwatakasa ninyi kutoka dhambi zenu zote ili mwe safi mbele za Yahwe.
31 It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
Hii ni maalumu kwa Sabato ya kupumzika kwaajili yenu, na lazima mnyenyekee wenyewe na msifanye kazi. Hili litakuwa sharti kati yenu.
32 The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments
Kuhani mkuu, ambaye atapakwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu kuwa kuhani mkuu katika nafasi ya baba yake, lazima afanye upatanisho huu na kuvaa mavazi ya kitani, hayo ni mavazi matakatifu.
33 and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly.
Lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu sana; lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya hema ya mkutano na madhabahu, na lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya makuhani na kwaajili ya kusanyiko la watu.
34 This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Israelites because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Hii daima itakuwa sharti kwaajili yako, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili ya watu wa Israeli kwasababu ya dhambi zao zote, mara moja kwa kila mwaka.” Na ilikuwa ikifanika kama Yahwe alivyomwamuru Musa.
