< Leviticus 5 >

1 And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:
Kama mtu atatenda dhambi kwa sababu hakusema ukweli wakati alipotakiwa kutoa ushahidi fulani kuhusu kile alichotakiwa, ameona au kufahamu habari zake, yeye anastahili adhabu.
2 If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:
Au mtu akigusa kitu chochote ambacho Mungu amekitaja kuwa ni najisi hata kama ni mzoga wa wanyama wa porini au ni mzoga wa wanyama wa kufugwa au wataambaao hata kama mtu huyo hakukusudia kumgusa, yeye ni najisi na mwenye hatia.
3 Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible:
Au amegusa kitu chochote kilicho kichafu, kwa vyovyote kama hakujua, ndipo atakuwa na hatia akijua vile.
4 Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.
Au kama yeyote akiapa bila kufikiri kwa midomo yake kufanya ubaya, au kufanya vyema kwa vyovyote vile mtu ameapa kwa haraka atakapotambua atakuwa na hatia kwa vitu hivyo.
5 And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;
Mtu yeyote akiwa na hatia kwa vitu hivi, lazima akiri kwa yoyote dhambi aliyotenda.
6 And take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away his sin.
Ndipo atakapoleta sadaka yake ya hatia mbele za Bwana kwa dhambi aliyokwisha tenda. Ataleta kondoo jike au mbuzi kutoka katika kundi lake kuwa matoleo ya dhambi, kuhani atafanya upatanisho kuhusu dhambi yake.
7 And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering.
Kama hataweza kununua mwana kondoo ataleta kama sadaka ya hatia, hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwa Bwana, mmoja kwa sadaka ya dhambi na mwingine ni sadaka ya kutekeketezwa.
8 And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two;
Atawaleta kwa kuhani, wa kwanza atatoa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Atamvunja shingo yake lakini ataacha kichwa chake kinaning'inia wala hataiondoa kabisa shingo yake katika mwili.
9 And he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin-offering.
Ndipo atanyunyizia damu yake katika sehemu za madhabahu, na damu inayobaki ataimwaga chini ya madhabahu. Hii ni dhabihu ya dhambi.
10 And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.
Ndipo ataoa ndege wa pili kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kama ilivyoelekezwa, na kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya dhambi alizokwisha kufanya, na huyo mtu atakuwa amesamehewa.
11 But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering.
Lakini kama hataweza kununua hua wawili au makinda ya njiwa mawili, ndipo ataleta kama dhabihu ya dhambi zake sehemu ya kumi ya unga laini kama sadaka ya dhambi. Asiweke mafuta wala ubani juu yake, kwa kuwa ni sadaka ya dhambi.
12 And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering.
Atauleta kwa kuhani, na kuhani atachukua konzi moja ya unga kama ukumbusho wa wema wa Bwana na atauweka juu ya madhabahu na kuteketeza juu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa moto kwa ajili ya Bwana. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
13 And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering.
Kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa dhambi yoyote aliyofanya mtu yeyote, mtu huyo atasamehewa. Na sadaka inayobaki itakuwa ya kuhani, kama ilivyo sadaka ya nafaka.'”
14 And the Lord said to Moses,
Bwana akamwambia Musa, akasema,
15 If anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the scale of the holy place.
“Kama mtu akikiuka amri na kufanya dhambi kinyume na mambo matakatifu ya Bwana, lakini akifanya bila kukusudia ataleta sadaka ya hatia kwa Bwana. Sadaka hii itakuwa ni kondoo dume asiye na kasoro kutoka katika kundi; thamani yake halisi kifedha kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, kama sadaka ya hatia.
16 And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.
Lazima atalipa kwa Bwana kwa kile alichokosa kulingana na kitakatifu, na ataongezea moja ya tano na kumpa kuhani. Ndipo kuhani ataweka upatanisho kwa ajili yake pamoja na kondoo wa sadaka ya hatia, na mtu atakuwa amesamehewa.
17 And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.
Kama mtu akitenda dhambi kwa kufanya kile ambacho Bwana aliagiza kisifanyike, hata kama hakujuwa, atakuwa na hatia na ataibeba hatia yake.
18 Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.
Lazima ataleta kondoo dume asiye na kasoro kutoka katika kundi, anayestahili thamani ya fedha, kama sadaka ya hatia kwa kuhani. Ndipo kuhani atafanya upatanisho kulingana na dhambi aliyotenda, ambayo hakujua atakuwa amesamehewa.
19 It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.
Ni sadaka ya hatia, na amekuwa na hatia mbele za Bwana.”
