Leviticus 5
1 If any one sin, and hear the voice of one swearing, and is a witness either because he himself hath seen, or is privy to it: if he do not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity.
“‘Ikiwa mtu atakuwa ametenda dhambi kwa sababu hakusema alipotakiwa kutoa ushahidi hadharani kuhusu jambo aliloona au kujua habari zake, yeye anastahili adhabu.
2 Whosoever toucheth any unclean thing, either that which hath been killed by a beast, or died of itself, or any other creeping thing: and forgetteth his uncleanness, he is guilty, and hath offended:
“‘Au kama mtu akigusa kitu chochote ambacho ni najisi, iwe ni mizoga ya wanyama pori walio najisi, au ya wanyama wafugwao walio najisi, au ya viumbe vitambaavyo ardhini, hata akiwa hana habari, amekuwa najisi na mwenye hatia.
3 And if he touch any thing of the uncleanness of man, according to any uncleanness wherewith he is wont to be defiled, and having forgotten it, come afterwards to know it, he shall be guilty of an offence.
“‘Au kama akigusa kitu kilicho kichafu kinachotokana na binadamu, kitu chochote kile kinachoweza kumfanya awe najisi, hata akiwa hana habari, atakapofahamu atakuwa na hatia.
4 The person that sweareth, and uttereth with his lips, that he would do either evil or good, and bindeth the same with an oath, and his word, and having forgotten it afterwards understandeth his offence,
“‘Au kama mtu ameapa kufanya kitu chochote bila kufikiri, kiwe chema au kibaya, kwa vyovyote mtu aweza kuapa bila kujali, hata akiwa hana habari, atakapofahamu atakuwa na hatia.
5 Let him do penance for his sin,
“‘Wakati mtu yeyote atakapokuwa na hatia katika mojawapo ya haya, lazima akiri ni kwa njia gani ametenda dhambi,
6 And offer of the flocks an ewe lamb, or a she goat, and the priest shall pray for him and for his sin:
na kama adhabu ya dhambi aliyoitenda, lazima alete kwa Bwana kondoo jike au mbuzi jike kutoka kwenye kundi lake kama sadaka ya dhambi; naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi yake.
7 But if he be not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtles, or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust,
“‘Lakini huyo mtu kama hataweza kumtoa mwana-kondoo, ataleta hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwa Bwana kuwa adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi yake, mmoja wa hao ndege kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na wa pili kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
8 And he shall give them to the priest: who shall offer the first for sin, and twist back the head of it to the little pinions, so that it stick to the neck, and be not altogether broken off.
Atawaleta kwa kuhani, ambaye atamtoa kwanza ndege mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Atamvunja shingo na kuacha kichwa chake kikiningʼinia,
9 And of its blood he shall sprinkle the side of the altar, and whatsoever is left, he shall let it drop at the bottom thereof, because it is for sin.
naye atanyunyiza sehemu ya hiyo damu ya sadaka ya dhambi kwenye pembe za madhabahu. Damu iliyobaki lazima ichuruzwe chini ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
10 And the other he shall burn for a holocaust, as is wont to be done: and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
Kisha kuhani atamtoa yule ndege wa pili kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa kufuata utaratibu uliowekwa, na hivyo kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi aliyoitenda, naye atasamehewa.
11 And if his hand be not able to offer two turtles, or two young pigeons, he shall offer for his sin the tenth part of an ephi of flour. He shall not put oil upon it, nor put any frankincense thereon, because it is for sin:
“‘Ikiwa basi, hawezi kupata hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa, ataleta sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Kamwe asiweke mafuta wala uvumba juu yake, kwa sababu ni sadaka ya dhambi.
12 And he shall deliver it to the priest: who shall take a handful thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar for a memorial of him that offered it:
Atauleta unga kwa kuhani, ambaye atachukua konzi moja kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu na atauteketeza kwenye madhabahu juu ya sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
13 Praying for him and making atonement: but the part that is left, he himself shall have for a gift.
Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi yoyote ya hizo alizotenda, naye atasamehewa. Sadaka iliyobaki itakuwa ya kuhani, kama ilivyokuwa ile sadaka ya nafaka.’”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
15 If any one shall sin through mistake, transgressing the ceremonies in those things that are sacrificed to the Lord, he shall offer for his offence a ram without blemish out of the flocks, that may be bought for two sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary:
“Mtu anapokiuka na kutenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia kuhusu mojawapo ya mambo matakatifu ya Bwana, huyo mtu ataleta kwa Bwana kama adhabu kondoo dume mmoja kutoka kundi lake, asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani halisi kifedha, kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu. Hii ni sadaka ya hatia.
16 And he shall make good the damage itself which he hath done, and shall add the fifth part besides, delivering it to the priest, who shall pray for him, offering the ram, and it shall be forgiven him.
Ni lazima alipe kwa yale aliyoshindwa kufanya kuhusu vitu vitakatifu, kwa kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani ile na kuitoa yote kwa kuhani, ambaye atamfanyia upatanisho kwa huyo kondoo dume kama sadaka ya dhambi, naye atasamehewa.
17 If any one sin through ignorance, and do one of those things which by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and being guilty of sin, understand his iniquity,
“Kama mtu akifanya dhambi na kufanya yale yaliyokatazwa katika mojawapo ya amri za Bwana, hata ikiwa hajui, yeye ana hatia na anastahili adhabu.
18 He shall offer of the hocks a ram without blemish to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin: and the priest shall pray for him, because he did it ignorantly: and it shall be forgiven him,
Atamletea kuhani kama sadaka ya hatia kondoo dume kutoka kundi lake, kondoo asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani halisi kifedha. Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa kosa alilotenda bila kukusudia, naye atasamehewa.
19 Because by mistake he trespassed against the Lord.
Hii ni sadaka ya hatia; amekuwa na hatia kwa kufanya kosa dhidi ya Bwana.”
