< Leviticus 14 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 This is the law of the leper: in whatever day he shall have been cleansed, then shall he be brought to the priest.
“Haya ndiyo masharti yamhusuyo mtu mgonjwa wakati wa kufanyiwa ibada ya utakaso wakati aletwapo kwa kuhani:
3 And the priest shall come forth out of the camp, and the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague of the leprosy is removed from the leper.
Kuhani atakwenda kumchunguza nje ya kambi. Kama mtu huyo atakuwa amepona ugonjwa wake wa ngozi wa kuambukiza,
4 And the priest shall give directions, and they shall take for him that is cleansed two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.
kuhani ataagiza vitu vifuatavyo viletwe kwa ajili ya mtu atakayetakaswa: ndege wawili safi walio hai, mti wa mwerezi, kitani nyekundu, na hisopo.
5 And the priest shall give direction, and they shall kill one bird over an earthen vessel over running water.
Kisha kuhani ataagiza kwamba mmoja wa ndege wale achinjwe kwenye chungu chenye maji safi.
6 And as for the living bird he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was slain over running water.
Kisha kuhani atamchukua ndege aliye hai na kumtumbukiza pamoja na mti wa mwerezi, kitani nyekundu na hisopo ndani ya damu ya yule ndege aliyechinjiwa kwenye maji safi.
7 And he shall sprinkle seven times upon him that was cleansed of his leprosy, and he shall be clean; and he shall let go the living bird into the field.
Atamnyunyizia yule mwenye ugonjwa wa kuambukiza maji hayo mara saba, na kumtangaza kuwa safi. Kisha atamwachia yule ndege aliye hai aende zake kwenye mashamba.
8 and the man that has been cleansed shall wash his garments, and shall shave off all his hair, and shall wash himself in water, and shall be clean; and after that he shall go into the camp, and shall remain out of his house seven days.
“Huyo mtu atakayetakaswa ni lazima afue nguo zake, anyoe nywele zake zote, na aoge kwa maji; ndipo atakapokuwa safi kwa desturi ya ibada. Baada ya hili anaweza kuingia kambini, lakini ni lazima akae nje ya hema lake kwa siku saba.
9 And it shall come to pass on the seventh day, he shall shave off all his hair, his head and his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his hair shall he shave; and he shall wash his garments, and wash his body with water, and shall be clean.
Siku ya saba ni lazima anyoe nywele zake zote; yaani anyoe nywele za kichwa, ndevu zake, kope zake na nywele nyingine zote. Ni lazima afue nguo zake, na aoge kwa maji, naye atakuwa safi.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two lambs without spot of a year old, and one ewe lamp without spot of a year old, and three-tenths of fine flour for sacrifice kneaded with oil, and one small cup of oil.
“Siku ya nane, ni lazima alete kondoo dume wawili na kondoo jike mmoja, wote wa mwaka mmoja na wasio na dosari, pamoja na sehemu tatu za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, kwa ajili ya sadaka ya nafaka, na logi moja ya mafuta.
11 And the priest that cleanses shall present the man under purification, and these [offerings] before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
Kuhani atakayemtangaza kuwa safi atahitaji kumkabidhi mgonjwa aliyepona pamoja na sadaka zake zote mbele za Bwana katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
12 And the priest shall take one lamb, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and set them apart for a special offering before the Lord.
“Kisha kuhani atamchukua mmoja wa wale kondoo dume na kumtoa kuwa sadaka ya hatia, pamoja na ile logi moja ya mafuta; ataviinua mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa.
13 and they shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the whole burnt offerings, and the sin-offerings, in the holy places; for it is a sin-offering: as the trespass-offering, it belongs to the priest, it is most holy.
Atamchinja huyo kondoo katika mahali patakatifu ambapo sadaka ya dhambi na ile ya kuteketezwa huchinjiwa. Kama ilivyo sadaka ya dhambi, sadaka ya hatia ni ya kuhani; nayo ni takatifu sana.
14 And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of the person under cleansing, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.
Kuhani atachukua sehemu ya damu ya sadaka ya hatia na kuitia kwenye ncha ya sikio la kuume la yule atakayetakaswa, kwenye kidole gumba cha mkono wake wa kuume, na kidole kikubwa cha mguu wake wa kuume.
15 And the priest shall take of the cup of oil, and shall pour it upon his own left hand.
Kuhani atachukua sehemu ya ile logi ya mafuta, ayamimine kwenye kiganja cha mkono wake mwenyewe wa kushoto,
16 And he shall dip with the finger of his right hand [into] some of the oil that is in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle with his finger seven times before the Lord.
na achovye kidole chake cha shahada cha mkono wake wa kuume kwenye mafuta yaliyoko kwenye kiganja chake, na kwa kidole hicho anyunyize mafuta hayo mara saba mbele za Bwana.
17 And the remaining oil that is in his hand, the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is under cleansing, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.
Kuhani atampaka yule anayetakaswa sehemu ya mafuta yaliyobaki kiganjani kwenye ncha ya sikio lake la kuume, kwenye kidole gumba cha mkono wake wa kuume, na kidole kikubwa cha mguu wake wa kuume, mahali palepale alipompaka damu ya sadaka ya kuondoa hatia.
18 And the remaining oil that is on the hand of the priest, the priest shall put on the head of the cleansed [leper], and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.
Kuhani atayapaka mafuta yaliyobaki kwenye kiganja chake juu ya kichwa cha yule anayetakaswa, na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mbele za Bwana.
19 And the priest shall sacrifice the sin-offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the person under purification [to cleanse him] from his sin, and afterwards the priest shall kill the whole burnt offering.
“Kisha kuhani atatoa dhabihu ya sadaka ya dhambi na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya yule atakayetakaswa kutoka unajisi wake. Baada ya hayo, kuhani atachinja sadaka ya kuteketezwa
20 And the priest shall offer the whole burnt offering, and the sacrifice upon the altar before the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be cleansed.
na kuitoa juu ya madhabahu, pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka ili kumfanyia upatanisho, naye atakuwa safi.
21 And if he should be poor, and can’t afford so much, he shall take one lamb for his transgression for a separate-offering, so as to make propitiation for him, and a tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a sacrifice, and one cup of oil,
“Hata hivyo, kama ni maskini na hawezi kupata vitu hivi, lazima achukue mwana-kondoo mmoja kama sadaka ya hatia ipate kuinuliwa ili kumfanyia upatanisho, pamoja na sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini uliochanganywa na logi moja ya mafuta kwa ajili ya sadaka ya nafaka,
22 and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, as he can afford; and the one shall be for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering.
na hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa, kile atakachoweza kupata, mmoja kwa sadaka ya dhambi, na mwingine kwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day, to purify him, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord.
“Katika siku ya nane, lazima avilete vitu hivyo kwa kuhani, kwa ajili ya kutakaswa kwake kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania mbele za Bwana.
24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and place them for a set-offering before the Lord.
Kuhani atamchukua mwana-kondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya hatia, pamoja na ile logi ya mafuta ya kuinuliwa mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa.
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.
Atamchinja huyo mwana-kondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya hatia. Pia ataichukua sehemu ya damu yake na kuipaka kwenye ncha ya sikio la kuume la yule anayetakaswa, na aipake pia kwenye kidole gumba cha mkono wa kuume wa huyo mtu, na kidole kikubwa cha mguu wake wa kuume.
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil on his own left hand.
Kuhani atamiminia sehemu ya mafuta kwenye kiganja chake cha mkono wa kushoto,
27 And the priest shall sprinkle with the finger of his right hand some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.
na kwa kidole chake cha shahada cha mkono wa kuume, atamnyunyizia yule anayetakaswa yale mafuta yaliyo kwenye kiganja chake mara saba mbele za Bwana.
28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is on his hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.
Atampaka mafuta yaliyobaki kwenye kiganja chake katika sehemu zote, kama alivyompaka damu ya sadaka ya hatia: yaani, kwenye ncha ya sikio la kuume la yule anayetakaswa, kwenye kidole gumba cha mkono wake wa kuume, na kidole kikubwa cha mguu wake wa kuume.
29 And that which is left of the oil which is on the hand of the priest he shall put on the head of him that is purged, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.
Kuhani atayapaka mafuta yaliyobaki katika kiganja chake kwenye kichwa cha yule anayetakaswa, na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mbele za Bwana.
30 And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, as he can afford it,
Kisha atatoa dhabihu wale hua ama yale makinda ya njiwa ambayo mtu ataweza kuwapata,
31 the one for a sin-offering, the other for a whole burnt offering with the meat-offering, and the priest shall make an atonement before the Lord for him that is under purification.
mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na mwingine kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka. Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya yule anayetakaswa.”
32 This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, and who can’t afford the offerings for his purification.
Haya ndiyo masharti kwa mtu yeyote mwenye ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, na ambaye hana uwezo wa kutoa sadaka za kawaida kwa ajili ya kutakaswa kwake.
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
34 Whenever you shall enter into the land of the Chananites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;
“Mtakapoingia katika nchi ya Kanaani ambayo ninawapa kuwa milki yenu, nami nikaweka upele ueneao kwenye nyumba katika nchi ile,
35 then the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague in the house.
ni lazima mwenye nyumba hiyo akamwambie kuhani, ‘Nimeona kitu fulani kinachofanana na upele kwenye nyumba yangu.’
36 And the priest shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest comes in to see the plague, and [thus] none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to examine the house.
Kuhani ataagiza vitu vyote vitolewe ndani ya nyumba, kabla hajaenda kuchunguza kama ina ugonjwa huo, ili kitu chochote ndani ya nyumba kisitangazwe kuwa najisi. Baada ya hili, kuhani ataingia ndani na kuikagua hiyo nyumba.
37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the plague is in the walls of the house, [he will see] greenish or reddish cavities, and the appearance of them [will be] beneath the surface of the walls.
Atachunguza upele huo katika kuta za nyumba hiyo, nazo kama zina rangi ya kijani kibichi au wekundu, na kuna mibonyeo ndani ya ukuta,
38 And the priest shall come out of the house to the door of the house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.
kuhani atatoka na kufunga mlango wa nyumba hiyo kwa siku saba.
39 And the priest shall return on the seventh day and view the house; and, behold, [if] the plague is spread in the walls of the house,
Siku ya saba, kuhani atarudi kuikagua nyumba. Kama upele umeenea juu ya kuta,
40 then the priest shall give orders, and they shall take away the stones in which the plague is, and shall cast them out of the city into an unclean place.
ataagiza kwamba mawe yote yaliyoambukizwa yaondolewe na kutupwa katika eneo lililo najisi nje ya mji.
41 And they shall scrape the house within round about, and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an unclean place.
Kuta zote za ndani ya nyumba hiyo ni lazima zikwanguliwe, na kifusi chake kitupwe mahali najisi nje ya mji.
42 And they shall take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the [former] stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster the house.
Kisha watachukua mawe mengine na kujenga palipobomolewa kwa udongo mpya wa mfinyanzi, na kuipiga nyumba hiyo lipu mpya.
43 And if the plague should return again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house is scraped, and after it has been plastered,
“Ikiwa upele huo utatokea tena ndani ya ile nyumba baada ya mawe kuondolewa na nyumba kukwanguliwa na kuwekwa lipu mpya,
44 then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is unclean.
kuhani atakwenda kuikagua, na kama upele umeenea ndani ya nyumba, basi ni upele uharibuo; nyumba hiyo ni najisi.
45 And they shall take down the house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the city into an unclean place.
Ni lazima ibomolewe: mawe yake, mbao na lipu yake, vyote vikatupwe nje ya mji mahali palipo najisi.
46 And he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.
“Yeyote atakayeingia katika nyumba hiyo ikiwa imefungwa, atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
47 And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening.
Yeyote atakayelala au kula ndani ya nyumba hiyo ni lazima afue nguo zake.
48 and if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and behold the plague be not at all spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall declare the house clean, because the plague is healed.
“Lakini ikiwa kuhani atakuja kuikagua na kukuta kuwa upele haujaenea tena baada ya nyumba kupigwa lipu, ataitangaza nyumba ile kuwa safi, kwa sababu upele umekwisha.
49 And he shall take to purify the house two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.
Ili kuitakasa nyumba hiyo, mwenye nyumba ataleta ndege wawili, mti wa mwerezi, kitani nyekundu na hisopo.
50 And he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.
Atamchinja mmoja wa wale ndege kwenye chungu chenye maji safi.
51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living bird; and shall dip it into the blood of the bird slain over running water, and with them he shall sprinkle the house seven times.
Kisha atachukua mti wa mwerezi, hisopo, kitani nyekundu na ndege aliye hai, na kuvitumbukiza ndani ya damu ya ndege aliyechinjwa pamoja na maji safi, na kuinyunyizia nyumba ile mara saba.
52 and he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the spun scarlet.
Ataitakasa nyumba kwa damu ya yule ndege, maji safi, ndege aliye hai, mti wa mwerezi, hisopo na kitani nyekundu.
53 And he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
Kisha atamwachia yule ndege aliye hai huru mashambani nje ya mji. Kwa njia hii atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya nyumba ile, nayo itakuwa safi.”
54 This [is] the law concerning every plague of leprosy and scurf,
Haya ndiyo masharti kuhusu aina yoyote ya ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, mwasho wowote,
55 and of the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
upele ndani ya nguo au ndani ya nyumba,
56 and of a sore, and of a clear spot, and of a shining one,
kwa uvimbe, vipele au kipaku kingʼaacho,
57 and of declaring in what day it is unclean, and in what day it shall be purged: this [is] the law of the leprosy.
kupambanua wakati kitu fulani ni safi au najisi. Haya ndiyo masharti kuhusu magonjwa ya ngozi ya kuambukiza na upele.
