Leviticus 4

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Bwana akamwambia Mose,

2 Say to the children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through ignorance, and doth any thing concerning any of the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded not to be done:

“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Mtu yeyote afanyapo dhambi bila kukusudia na akatenda lile lililokatazwa katika amri yoyote ya Bwana:

3 If the priest that is anointed shall sin, making the people to offend, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin a calf without blemish.

“‘Ikiwa kuhani aliyetiwa mafuta amefanya dhambi na kuwaletea watu hatia, lazima alete kwa Bwana fahali mchanga asiye na dosari, kuwa sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya dhambi aliyotenda.

4 And he shall bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall sacrifice it to the Lord.

Atamkabidhi huyo fahali kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania mbele za Bwana. Ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha huyo fahali na kumchinja mbele za Bwana.

5 He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and carry it into the tabernacle of the testimony.

Kisha kuhani huyo aliyetiwa mafuta atachukua sehemu ya damu ya huyo fahali na kuileta katika Hema la Kukutania.

6 And having dipped his finger in the blood, he shall sprinkle with it seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary.

Atachovya kidole chake katika hiyo damu na kuinyunyiza sehemu yake mara saba mbele za Bwana mbele ya pazia la mahali patakatifu.

7 And he shall put some of the same blood upon the horns of the altar of the sweet incense most acceptable to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. And he shall pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of holocaust in the entry of the tabernacle.

Kisha kuhani atatia sehemu ya hiyo damu juu ya pembe za madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba wenye harufu nzuri iliyoko mbele za Bwana katika Hema la Kukutania. Damu iliyobaki ya huyo fahali ataimwaga chini ya hayo madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.

8 And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin offering, as well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards:

Atayaondoa mafuta yote ya fahali huyo wa sadaka ya dhambi, mafuta yale yanayofunika sehemu za ndani au zile zinazounganika nazo,

9 The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them, which is by the hanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys,

figo zote mbili na mafuta yaliyo juu yake karibu na kiuno na yale yanayofunika ini ambayo atayaondoa pamoja na figo zote,

10 As it is taken off from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings, and he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.

kama vile mafuta yanayoondolewa kutoka kwenye maksai aliyetolewa sadaka ya amani. Kisha kuhani ataviteketeza juu ya madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa.

11 But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the bowels and the dung,

Lakini ngozi ya huyo fahali na nyama zake zote, pamoja na kichwa na miguu yake, sehemu za ndani na matumbo,

12 And the rest of the body he shall carry forth without the camp into a clean place where the ashes are wont to be poured out, and he shall burn them upon a pile of wood, they shall be burnt in the place where the ashes are poured out.

yaani sehemu nyingine zote zilizobaki za huyo fahali, lazima azitoe nje ya kambi mpaka mahali palipo safi kiibada, ambapo majivu hutupwa, naye atamchoma kwa moto juu ya kuni zilizoko juu ya lundo la majivu.

13 And if all the multitude of Israel shall be ignorant, and through ignorance shall do that which is against the commandment of the Lord,

“‘Ikiwa jumuiya yote ya Israeli watatenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia na kufanya lile lililokatazwa katika amri yoyote ya Bwana, hata kama jumuiya haifahamu juu ya jambo hilo, wana hatia.

14 And afterwards shall understand their sin, they shall offer for their sin a calf, and shall bring it to the door of the tabernacle.

Wanapotambua kuhusu dhambi waliyoitenda, lazima kusanyiko lilete fahali mchanga kuwa sadaka ya dhambi na kuikabidhi mbele ya Hema la Kukutania.

15 And the ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of the Lord,

Wazee wa jumuiya wataweka mikono yao juu ya kichwa cha huyo fahali aliye mbele za Bwana, naye fahali atachinjwa mbele za Bwana.

16 The priest that is anointed shall carry of the blood into the tabernacle of the testimony.

Kisha kuhani aliyetiwa mafuta ataiingiza sehemu ya damu ya huyo fahali ndani ya Hema la Kukutania.

17 And shall dip his finger in it and sprinkle it seven times before the veil.

Atachovya kidole chake kwenye damu na kuinyunyiza mara saba mbele za Bwana mbele ya hilo pazia.

18 And he shall put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony: and the rest of the blood he shall pour at the foot of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

Atatia sehemu ya hiyo damu juu ya pembe za madhabahu yaliyo mbele za Bwana katika Hema la Kukutania. Damu iliyobaki ataimwaga chini ya madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka, penye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.

19 And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon the altar:

Atayaondoa mafuta yote ya yule fahali na kuyateketeza juu ya madhabahu,

20 Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before: and the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them.

naye atamfanyia fahali huyu kama alivyomfanyia yule fahali mwingine wa sadaka ya dhambi. Kwa njia hii kuhani atawafanyia watu upatanisho, nao watasamehewa.

21 But the calf itself he shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn it as he did the former calf: because it is for the sin of the multitude.

Kisha atamchukua yule fahali nje ya kambi na kumteketeza kama alivyomteketeza yule wa kwanza. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya jumuiya.

22 If a prince shall sin, and through ignorance do any one of the things that the law of the Lord forbiddeth,

“‘Wakati kiongozi ametenda dhambi bila kukusudia na kufanya yaliyokatazwa katika amri yoyote ya Bwana Mungu wake, ana hatia.

23 And afterwards shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a buck goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord.

Atakapofahamishwa dhambi aliyotenda, ni lazima alete mbuzi dume asiye na dosari kama sadaka yake.

24 And he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before the Lord, because it is for sin,

Ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha yule mbuzi na kumchinja mahali pale ambapo sadaka za kuteketezwa huchinjiwa mbele za Bwana. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.

25 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching therewith the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the rest at the foot thereof.

Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya damu ya sadaka ya dhambi kwa kidole chake na kuitia kwenye pembe za madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketeza, na kuimwaga damu iliyobaki chini ya madhabahu.

26 But the fat he shall burn upon it, as is wont to be done with the victims of peace offerings: and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

Atayateketeza mafuta yote juu ya madhabahu, kama alivyoteketeza mafuta ya sadaka ya amani. Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho wa dhambi kwa ajili ya yule mtu, naye atasamehewa.

27 And if any one of the people of the land shall sin through ignorance, doing any of those things that by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and offending,

“‘Kama mtu katika jumuiya ametenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia na kufanya lile lililokatazwa katika amri yoyote ya Bwana, yeye ana hatia.

28 And shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a she goat without blemish.

Atakapofahamishwa dhambi yake aliyoitenda, ni lazima alete mbuzi jike asiye na dosari kama sadaka yake kwa ajili ya dhambi aliyotenda.

29 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim that is for sin, and shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust.

Ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha sadaka ya dhambi na kumchinjia mahali pa kuteketezea sadaka.

30 And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and shall pour out the rest at the foot thereof.

Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya ile damu kwa kidole chake na kuitia kwenye pembe za madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kuimwaga damu iliyobaki chini ya madhabahu.

31 But taking off all the fat, as is wont to be taken away of the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savour to the Lord: and he shall pray for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

Atayaondoa mafuta yote, kama vile mafuta yaondolewavyo kwenye sadaka ya amani, naye kuhani atayateketeza juu ya madhabahu kama harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana. Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atasamehewa.

32 But if he offer of the flock a victim for his sin, to wit, an ewe without blemish:

“‘Ikiwa ataleta mwana-kondoo kama sadaka yake ya dhambi, atamleta jike asiye na dosari.

33 He shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are wont to be slain.

Ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha huyo mwana-kondoo na kumchinja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi mahali sadaka ya kuteketezwa huchinjiwa.

34 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and the rest he shall pour out at the foot thereof.

Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya damu ya sadaka ya dhambi kwa kidole chake na kuitia juu ya pembe za madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na ile damu iliyobaki ataimwaga chini ya madhabahu.

35 All the fat also he shall take off, as the fat of the ram that is offered for peace offerings is wont to be taken away: and shall burn it upon the altar, for a burnt sacrifice of the Lord: and he shall pray for him and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

Ataondoa mafuta yote, kama vile mafuta yaondolewavyo kutoka kwenye mwana-kondoo wa sadaka ya amani, naye kuhani atayateketeza juu ya madhabahu juu ya zile sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto. Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi aliyoitenda, naye atasamehewa.
