Leviticus 12
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whatsoever woman shall have conceived and born a male child shall be unclean seven days, she shall be unclean according to the days of separation for her monthly courses.
“zungumza na watu wa Israeli, uwaambie, 'endapo mwanamke anakuwa mjamzito na kujifungua mtoto wa kiume, naye atakuwa najisi kwa muda wasiku saba, ni kama tu vile anavyokuwa najisi katika siku za kipindi chake kwa mwezi.
3 And on the eighth day she shall circumcise the flesh of his foreskin.
Katika siku ya nane nyama ya govi la mtoto mvulana itatahiriwa.
4 And for thirty-three days she shall continue in her unclean blood; she shall touch nothing holy, and shall not enter the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.
Kisha utakaso wa mama wa kutokwa damu yake utaendelea kwa muda wa siku tatu. Haimpasi kugusa kitu chochote kilicho kitakatifu au kukaribia eneo la hema mpaka zitakapomalizika siku za kutakaswa kwake.
5 But if she should have born a female child, then she shall be unclean twice seven days, according to the time of her monthly courses; and for sixty-six days shall she remain in her unclean blood.
Lakini kama atajifungua mtoto wa kike, naye atakuwa najisi kwa mud wa majuma mawili, kama alivyo wakati wa kipindi chake. Kisha utakaso wa mama utaendelea kwa siku sitini sita.
6 And when the days of her purification shall have been fulfilled for a son or a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of a year old without blemish for a whole burnt offering, and a young pigeon or turtle-dove for a sin-offering to the door of the tabernacle of witness, to the priest.
Siku za kutakaswa kwake zitakapoisha, kwa ajili ya mwana au binti, atalazimika kuleta kwa kuhani mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na kinda la njiwa au huwa kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, mbele ya ingilio la hema la kukutania,
7 And he shall present it before the Lord, and the priest shall make atonement for her, and shall purge her from the fountain of her blood; this is the law of her who bears a male or a female.
Kisha atawatoa mbele za Yahweh na kufanya sadaka ya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atatakaswa kutokana kutiririka kwa damu yake. Hii ndiyo sheria kuhusu mwanamke aifunguaye ama mtoto wa kiume au wa kike.
8 And if she can’t afford a lamb, then shall she take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a whole burnt offering, and one for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be purified.
Na kama hana uwezo wa kutoa mwana-kondoo, naye ataleta makinda mawili ya njiwa ua hua, mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na mwingine kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake; naye atakuwa safi.”
