Leviticus 12
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A woman, if she has received the seed to bear a male, shall be unclean for seven days, just as in the days of separation due to menstruation.
“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Mwanamke ambaye atapata mimba na kuzaa mtoto wa kiume atakuwa najisi kwa kawaida ya ibada kwa siku saba, kama anavyokuwa najisi wakati wa siku zake za hedhi.
3 And on the eighth day, the little infant shall be circumcised.
Mvulana atatahiriwa siku ya nane.
4 Yet truly, she herself shall remain for thirty-three days in the blood of her purification. She shall not touch anything holy, nor shall she enter into the Sanctuary, until the days of her purification are completed.
Kisha ni lazima huyo mwanamke asubiri kwa siku thelathini na tatu, ndipo atakaswe kutoka damu kwake. Hataruhusiwa kugusa kitu chochote kilicho kitakatifu au kuingia mahali patakatifu, mpaka siku za kutakaswa kwake zimetimia.
5 But if she will bear a female, she shall be unclean for two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly flow, and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days.
Kama akimzaa mtoto wa kike, mwanamke huyo atakuwa najisi kwa majuma mawili, kama wakati wake wa hedhi. Kisha atasubiri kwa siku sitini na sita, ndipo atatakaswa kutoka damu kwake.
6 And when the days of her purification have been completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, a one-year-old lamb as a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for sin, and she shall deliver them to the priest.
“‘Siku zake za utakaso kwa ajili ya mwana au binti zitakapotimia, mwanamke huyo atamletea kuhani kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania mwana-kondoo mwenye umri wa mwaka mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na kinda la njiwa au hua kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
7 He shall offer them in the sight of the Lord, and he shall pray for her. And so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for one who bears a male or a female.
Atavitoa mbele za Bwana ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, na kisha atakuwa safi kwa desturi ya ibada kutokana na kutokwa damu kwake. “‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya mwanamke atakayezaa mtoto wa kiume au wa kike.
8 And if her hand has not obtained or been able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a holocaust, and the other for sin. And the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.
Kama huyo mwanamke hana uwezo wa kumpata mwana-kondoo, ataleta hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa, moja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na mwingine kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Kwa njia hii, kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atakuwa safi.’”
