< Leviticus 5 >
1 “If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed, whether he has seen it or learned of it, he shall bear the iniquity.
“‘Ikiwa mtu atakuwa ametenda dhambi kwa sababu hakusema alipotakiwa kutoa ushahidi hadharani kuhusu jambo aliloona au kujua habari zake, yeye anastahili adhabu.
2 Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of any unclean wild animal or livestock or crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.
“‘Au kama mtu akigusa kitu chochote ambacho ni najisi, iwe ni mizoga ya wanyama pori walio najisi, au ya wanyama wafugwao walio najisi, au ya viumbe vitambaavyo ardhini, hata akiwa hana habari, amekuwa najisi na mwenye hatia.
3 Or if he touches human uncleanness—anything by which one becomes unclean—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty.
“‘Au kama akigusa kitu kilicho kichafu kinachotokana na binadamu, kitu chochote kile kinachoweza kumfanya awe najisi, hata akiwa hana habari, atakapofahamu atakuwa na hatia.
4 Or if someone swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do anything good or evil—in whatever matter a man may rashly pronounce an oath—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty in the matter.
“‘Au kama mtu ameapa kufanya kitu chochote bila kufikiri, kiwe chema au kibaya, kwa vyovyote mtu aweza kuapa bila kujali, hata akiwa hana habari, atakapofahamu atakuwa na hatia.
5 If someone incurs guilt in one of these ways, he must confess the sin he has committed,
“‘Wakati mtu yeyote atakapokuwa na hatia katika mojawapo ya haya, lazima akiri ni kwa njia gani ametenda dhambi,
6 and he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD for the sin he has committed: a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering. And the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin.
na kama adhabu ya dhambi aliyoitenda, lazima alete kwa Bwana kondoo jike au mbuzi jike kutoka kwenye kundi lake kama sadaka ya dhambi; naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi yake.
7 If, however, he cannot afford a lamb, he may bring to the LORD as restitution for his sin two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.
“‘Lakini huyo mtu kama hataweza kumtoa mwana-kondoo, ataleta hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwa Bwana kuwa adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi yake, mmoja wa hao ndege kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na wa pili kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
8 He is to bring them to the priest, who shall first present the one for the sin offering. He is to twist its head at the front of its neck without severing it;
Atawaleta kwa kuhani, ambaye atamtoa kwanza ndege mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Atamvunja shingo na kuacha kichwa chake kikiningʼinia,
9 then he is to sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood is drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
naye atanyunyiza sehemu ya hiyo damu ya sadaka ya dhambi kwenye pembe za madhabahu. Damu iliyobaki lazima ichuruzwe chini ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
10 And the priest must prepare the second bird as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
Kisha kuhani atamtoa yule ndege wa pili kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa kufuata utaratibu uliowekwa, na hivyo kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi aliyoitenda, naye atasamehewa.
11 But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he may bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. He must not put olive oil or frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.
“‘Ikiwa basi, hawezi kupata hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa, ataleta sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Kamwe asiweke mafuta wala uvumba juu yake, kwa sababu ni sadaka ya dhambi.
12 He is to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful from it as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar atop the offerings made by fire to the LORD; it is a sin offering.
Atauleta unga kwa kuhani, ambaye atachukua konzi moja kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu na atauteketeza kwenye madhabahu juu ya sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
13 In this way the priest will make atonement for him for any of these sins he has committed, and he will be forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.”
Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi yoyote ya hizo alizotenda, naye atasamehewa. Sadaka iliyobaki itakuwa ya kuhani, kama ilivyokuwa ile sadaka ya nafaka.’”
14 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
15 “If someone acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s holy things, he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram from the flock, of proper value in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.
“Mtu anapokiuka na kutenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia kuhusu mojawapo ya mambo matakatifu ya Bwana, huyo mtu ataleta kwa Bwana kama adhabu kondoo dume mmoja kutoka kundi lake, asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani halisi kifedha, kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu. Hii ni sadaka ya hatia.
16 Regarding any holy thing he has harmed, he must make restitution by adding a fifth of its value to it and giving it to the priest, who will make atonement on his behalf with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.
Ni lazima alipe kwa yale aliyoshindwa kufanya kuhusu vitu vitakatifu, kwa kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani ile na kuitoa yote kwa kuhani, ambaye atamfanyia upatanisho kwa huyo kondoo dume kama sadaka ya dhambi, naye atasamehewa.
17 If someone sins and violates any of the LORD’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.
“Kama mtu akifanya dhambi na kufanya yale yaliyokatazwa katika mojawapo ya amri za Bwana, hata ikiwa hajui, yeye ana hatia na anastahili adhabu.
18 He is to bring to the priest an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock as a guilt offering. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the wrong he has committed in ignorance, and he will be forgiven.
Atamletea kuhani kama sadaka ya hatia kondoo dume kutoka kundi lake, kondoo asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani halisi kifedha. Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa kosa alilotenda bila kukusudia, naye atasamehewa.
19 It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the LORD.”
Hii ni sadaka ya hatia; amekuwa na hatia kwa kufanya kosa dhidi ya Bwana.”
