Exodus 30
1 Thou shalt make also an altar to burn incense, of setim wood.
Nawe fanya madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba; utaifanyiza kwa mti wa mshita.
2 It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is, foursquare, and two in height. Horns shall go out of the same.
Urefu wake utakuwa dhiraa moja, na upana wake dhiraa moja; itakuwa mraba; na kwenda juu kwake dhiraa mbili; pembe zake zitakuwa za kitu kimoja nayo.
3 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, as well as the grate thereof, as the walls round about and the horns. And thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about,
Nawe utaifunikiza dhahabu safi juu yake - na mbavu zake kando kando, na pembe zake. Nawe utaifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
4 And two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars may be put into them, and the altar be carried.
Kisha utaifanyia pete mbili za dhahabu, chini ya ukingo wake katika mbavu zake mbili, katika pande zake mbili utazifanya; nazo zitakuwa mahali pa kuitia miti ya kuichukulia madhabahu.
5 And thou shalt make the bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
Na ile miti utaifanya kwa mti wa mshita, na kuifunikiza dhahabu safi.
6 And thou shalt set the altar over against the veil, that hangeth before the ark of the testimony before the propitiatory wherewith the testimony is covered, where I will speak to thee.
Nawe utaitia mbele ya lile pazia lililo karibu na sanduku la ushuhuda mbele ya kiti cha rehema kilicho juu ya ushuhuda, hapo nitakapokutana nawe.
7 And Aaron shall burn sweet smelling incense upon it in the morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:
Na Aruni atafukiza uvumba wa manukato juu yake; kila siku asubuhi. Atakapozitengeneza zile taa, ataufukiza,
8 And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
na Aruni atakapoziwasha zile taa wakati wa jioni, ataufukiza, uwe uvumba wa daima mbele za Yahweh katika vizazi vyenu vyote.
9 You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations.
Hamtafukiza juu yake uvumba mgeni, wala sadaka ya kuteketezwa, wala sadaka ya unga, wala hamtamimina juu yake sadaka ya kinywaji.
10 And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the blood of that which was offered for sin, and shall make atonement upon it in your generations. It shall be most holy to the Lord.
Naye Aruni atafanya upatanisho juu ya pembe zake mara moja kila mwaka. Kwa damu ya ile sadaka ya dhambi ya kufanya upatanisho, mara moja kila mwaka ataifanyia upatanisho, katika vizazi vyenu vyote. Ni takatifu sana kwa Yahweh.”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
BWANA akanena na Musa,
12 When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.
“Utakapowahesabu wana wa Israeli, kama itakavyotokea hesabu yao, ndipo watakapompa BWANA kila mtu ukombozi kwa ajili ya roho yake, hapo utakapowahesabu; ili kwamba yasiwe maradhi kati yao, hapo utakapowahesabu.
13 And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty obols. Half a sicle shall be offered to the Lord.
Kila mtu apitaye kwa wale waliohesabiwa atatoa nusu shekeli kwa kuiandama shekeli ya mahali patakatifu; (shekeli ni gera ishirini). Nusu shekeli kwa sadaka ya Yahweh.
14 He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards, shall give the price.
Kila mtu apitaye kwa wale waliohesabiwa tangu huyo ambaye umri wake ni miaka ishirini, au zaidi, atatoa hiyo sadaka kwangu.
15 The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, and the poor man shall diminish nothing.
Watu watakapo leta hii sadaka kwangu kufanya upatananisho, matajiri hawataleta zaidi, wala maskini hawataleta kilichopungua katika hiyo nusu shekeli.
16 And the money received which was contributed by the children of Israel, thou shalt deliver unto the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may be merciful to their souls.
Nawe utapokea hizo fedha za upatanisho mikononi mwa hao wana wa Israeli, na kuziweka kwa ajili ya utumishi wa hema ya kukutania. Ili kwamba ziwe ukumbusho kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli mbele yangu ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya roho zenu.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
18 Thou shalt make also a brazen laver with its foot, to wash in: and thou shalt set it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And water being put into it,
“Fanya na birika la shaba, na tako lake la shaba, ili kuogea; nawe utaliweka kati ya hema ya kukutania na madhabahu, nawe utalitia maji.
19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:
Na Aruni na wanawe wataosha mikono yao na miguu yao humo.
20 When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord,
Hapo waingiapo ndani ya hema ya kukutania au waendepo karibu na madhabahu kunitumikia kwa kuchoma sadaka, watajiosha majini, ili wasife.
21 Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by successions.
Basi wataosha mikono yao na miguu yao ili kwamba wasife; na neno hili litakuwa amri kwao milele, kwake yeye na kwa wazao wake katika vizazi vyao vyote.
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa,
23 Saying: Take spices, of principal and chosen myrrh five hundred sicles, and of cinnamon half so much, that is, two hundred and fifty sicles, of calamus in like manner two hundred and fifty.
“Jitwalie manukato yaliyo bora, manemane mbichi shekeli mia tano, na mdalasini wenye harufu nzuri 250, na kane shekeli 250
24 And of cassia five hundred sicles by the weight of the sanctuary, of oil of olives the measure hin:
na kida shekeli mia tano, kwa kuiandama shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, na mafuta ya zeituni kiasi cha vibaba vitano.
25 And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded after the art of the perfumer,
Nawe utayafanya mafuta ya kutiwa matakatifu, marhamu iliyochanganywa kwa kazi ya ustadi ya mtengezaji manukato; yatakuwa ni mafuta matakatifu ya kutiwa.
26 And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,
Nawe utaipaka hema ya kukutania kwa mafuta hayo, na hilo sanduku la ushuhuda,
27 And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and furniture thereof, the altars of incense,
na hiyo meza, na vyombo vyake vyote, na kinara cha taa, na vyombo vyake,
28 And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the service of them.
na madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba, na madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka, pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote, na birika, na tako lake.
29 And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified.
Nawe utavitakasa vitu hivyo, ili viwe vitakatifu sana; tena kila kivigusacho vyombo vile kitakuwa kitakatifu.
30 Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
Nawe utawatia mafuta Aruni na wanawe, na kuwatakasa, ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
31 And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me throughout your generations.
Nawe utanena na wana wa Israeli na kuwaambia, Haya yatakuwa ni mafuta matakatifu ya kutiwa kwa ajili yangu mimi katika vizazi vyenu vyote.
32 The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall make none other of the same composition, because it is sanctified, and shall be holy unto you.
Hayatamiminwa katika kiwiliwili cha binadamu, wala msifanye mengine mfano wa haya kama yalivyoungwa kwa viungo vyake; ni matakatifu, na kwenu ninyi yatakuwa matakatifu.
33 What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
Mtu awaye yote atakayechanganya mafuta mfano wa haya, au mtu awaye yote atakayetia mafuta haya juu ya mgeni, mtu huyo atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.'”
34 And the Lord said to Moses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all shall be of equal weight.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Jitwalie manukato mazuri, yaani, natafi, na shekelethi, na kelbena; viungo vya manukato vizuri pamoja na ubani safi; vitu hivyo vyote na viwe vya kipimo kimoja.
35 And thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of the perfumer, well tempered together, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification.
Nawe utafanya uvumba wa vitu hivyo, manukato ya kazi ya ustadi wa mtengenazaji manukato, yatakuwa yamekolea, safi, matakatifu.
36 And when thou has beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt set of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to thee. Most holy shall this incense be to you.
Nawe baadhi yake utayaponda sana, na kuyaweka mbele ya ushuhuda ndani ya hema ya kukutania, hapo nitakapokutana nawe; nayo yatakuwa kwenu matakatifu sana.
37 You shall not make such a composition for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord.
Na uvumba utakaofanya, hamtajifanyia uvumba wenye viungo sawasawa na uvumba huo; utakuwa kwenu mtakatifu kwa ajili yangu.
38 What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof, he shall perish out of his people.
Mtu ye yote atakayefanya mfano wa huo, ili kuunusa, mtu huyo atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.
