Exodus 30
1 And thou shalt make an altar for the burning of incense: of acacia-wood shalt thou make it;
“Tengeneza madhabahu kwa mbao za mshita kwa ajili ya kufukizia uvumba.
2 a cubit the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof — square shall it be; and two cubits its height; of itself shall be its horns.
Madhabahu hayo yawe mraba, urefu na upana wake dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa mbili, nazo pembe zake zitakuwa kitu kimoja nayo.
3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make upon it a border of gold round about.
Funika hayo madhabahu juu na pande zote na pia pembe zake kwa dhahabu safi, na uifanyizie ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
4 And two rings of gold shalt thou make for it under its border; by its two corners shalt thou make [them], on the two sides thereof; and they shall be for receptacles for the staves, with which to carry it.
Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu kwa ajili ya madhabahu chini ya huo ukingo, ziwe mbili kila upande, za kushikilia hiyo mipiko itumikayo kuibebea madhabahu.
5 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.
Tengeneza mipiko kwa miti ya mshita na uifunike kwa dhahabu.
6 And thou shalt put it in front of the veil which is before the ark of the testimony in front of the mercy-seat which is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
Weka hayo madhabahu mbele ya lile pazia lililo mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda, lililo mbele ya kiti cha rehema kilicho juu ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda, mahali ambapo nitakutana nawe.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon fragrant incense: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn the incense.
“Itampasa Aroni kufukiza uvumba wenye harufu nzuri juu ya madhabahu kila siku asubuhi wakati anapowasha zile taa.
8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps between the two evenings, he shall burn the incense — a continual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.
Itampasa afukize uvumba tena wakati anapowasha taa wakati wa machweo ili uvumba ufukizwe daima mbele za Bwana kwa vizazi vijavyo.
9 Ye shall offer up no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor oblation; neither shall ye pour drink-offering thereon.
Usifukize uvumba mwingine wowote juu ya madhabahu haya au sadaka nyingine yoyote ya kuteketezwa wala sadaka ya nafaka, wala usimimine sadaka ya kinywaji juu yake.
10 And Aaron shall make atonement for its horns once in the year: with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement shall he make atonement for it, once in the year, throughout your generations: it is most holy to Jehovah.
Mara moja kwa mwaka Aroni atafanya upatanisho juu ya pembe za hayo madhabahu. Upatanisho huu wa mwaka lazima ufanywe kwa damu ya sadaka ya upatanisho kwa ajili ya dhambi kwa vizazi vijavyo. Ni takatifu sana kwa Bwana.”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Naye Bwana akamwambia Mose,
12 When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to those of them that are numbered, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah on their being numbered, that there be no plague among them on their being numbered.
“Utakapowahesabu Waisraeli, kila mmoja lazima alipe kwa Bwana fidia kwa ajili ya nafsi yake wakati wa kuhesabiwa kwake. Ndipo hakutakuwa na pigo juu yao unapowahesabu.
13 This shall they give — every one that passeth among them that are numbered — half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, — twenty gerahs the shekel; a half shekel shall be the heave-offering for Jehovah.
Kila mmoja anayekwenda upande wa wale waliokwisha hesabiwa atatoa nusu shekeli, kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, ambayo ina uzito wa gera ishirini. Hii nusu shekeli ni sadaka kwa Bwana.
14 Every one that passeth among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the heave-offering of Jehovah.
Wote wale wanaovuka, wenye umri wa miaka ishirini au zaidi, watatoa sadaka kwa Bwana.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when ye give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
Matajiri hawatalipa zaidi ya nusu shekeli, nao maskini hawatatoa pungufu wakati mnatoa sadaka kwa Bwana kwa kufanya upatanisho wa nafsi zenu.
16 And thou shalt take the atonement-money of the children of Israel, and devote it to the service of the tent of meeting; and it shall be a memorial to the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
Utapokea fedha ya upatanisho kutoka kwa Waisraeli na uzitumie kwa ajili ya huduma ya Hema la Kukutania. Itakuwa ni ukumbusho kwa Waisraeli mbele za Bwana kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya nafsi zenu.”
17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
18 Thou shalt also make a laver of copper, and its stand of copper, for washing; and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
“Tengeneza sinia la shaba lenye kitako cha shaba kwa ajili ya kunawia. Liweke kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, kisha uweke maji ndani yake.
19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet out of it.
Aroni na wanawe watanawa mikono na miguu yao kwa maji yatokayo katika hilo sinia.
20 When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they come near to the altar to serve, to burn an offering by fire to Jehovah.
Wakati wowote wanapoingia katika Hema la Kukutania, watanawa kwa maji ili kwamba wasije wakafa. Pia, wanapokaribia madhabahu ili kuhudumu kwa kuleta sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto,
21 And they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die; and it shall be an everlasting statute for them, for him and for his seed throughout their generations.
watanawa mikono na miguu yao ili kwamba wasije wakafa. Hii itakuwa ni amri ya kudumu kwa ajili ya Aroni na wazao wake kwa vizazi vijavyo.”
22 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
23 And thou, take best spices — of liquid myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon the half — two hundred and fifty, and of sweet myrtle two hundred and fifty,
“Chukua vikolezi bora vifuatavyo: shekeli 500 za manemane ya maji, shekeli 250 za mdalasini wenye harufu nzuri, shekeli 250 za miwa yenye harufu nzuri,
24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin;
shekeli 500 za aina nyingine ya mdalasini, vyote kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, pia hini ya mafuta ya zeituni.
25 and make of it an oil of holy ointment, a perfume of perfumery after the work of the perfumer: it shall be the holy anointing oil.
Vitengeneze vikolezi hivi kuwa mafuta matakatifu ya upako yenye harufu nzuri, kazi ya mtengeneza manukato. Yatakuwa mafuta matakatifu ya upako.
26 And thou shalt anoint the tent of meeting with it, and the ark of the testimony,
Kisha yatumie kupaka hilo Hema la Kukutania, Sanduku la Ushuhuda,
27 and the table and all its utensils, and the lamp-stand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
meza na vifaa vyake vyote, kinara cha taa na vifaa vyake vyote, madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba,
28 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand.
madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake vyote na sinia pamoja na kitako chake.
29 And thou shalt hallow them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy.
Utaviweka wakfu ili viwe vitakatifu sana na kila kitakachoigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.
30 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt anoint, and shalt hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.
“Mtie Aroni na wanawe mafuta na uwaweke wakfu ili waweze kunitumikia katika kazi ya ukuhani.
31 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, A holy anointing oil shall this be unto me throughout your generations.
Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Haya yatakuwa mafuta matakatifu yangu ya upako kwa vizazi vijavyo.
32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make [any] like it, after the preparation of it: it is holy — holy shall it be unto you.
Usiyamimine juu ya miili ya wanadamu wala usitengeneze mafuta ya aina nyingine kwa utaratibu huu. Ni mafuta matakatifu na ni lazima myaone kuwa ni matakatifu.
33 Whoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whoever putteth [any] of it upon any strange thing, shall be cut off from his peoples.
Mtu yeyote atakayetengeneza manukato kama hayo na yeyote atakayeyamimina juu ya mtu yeyote ambaye si kuhani atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.’”
34 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take fragrant drugs — stacte, and onycha, and galbanum — fragrant drugs and pure frankincense; in like proportions shall it be.
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Chukua vikolezi vyenye harufu nzuri vifuatavyo: natafi, shekelethi, kelbena na uvumba safi vyote vikiwa na vipimo sawa,
35 And thou shalt make it into incense, a perfume, after the work of the perfumer, salted, pure, holy.
pia tengeneza mchanganyiko wa uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, kazi ya mtengeneza manukato. Utiwe chumvi ili upate kuwa safi na mtakatifu.
36 And thou shalt beat [some] of it to powder, and put [some] of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
Saga baadhi yake kuwa unga na uweke mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, mahali ambapo nitakutana nawe. Itakuwa takatifu sana kwenu.
37 And the incense that thou shalt make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the proportions of it; it shall be unto thee holy to Jehovah.
Msitengeneze uvumba mwingine wowote wa namna hii kwa ajili yenu wenyewe; uoneni kuwa ni mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
38 Whoever maketh like unto it, to smell it, shall be cut off from his peoples.
Yeyote atakayetengeneza uvumba kama huu ili kufurahia harufu yake nzuri lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.”
