< Leviticus 6 >

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
2 Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression;
“Kama mtu yeyote akitenda dhambi, naye si mwaminifu kwa Bwana kwa kumdanganya jirani yake kuhusu kitu fulani alichokabidhiwa, au kimeachwa chini ya utunzaji wake, au kimeibwa, au kama akimdanganya,
3 Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont to sin:
au akiokota mali iliyopotea na akadanganya, au kuapa kwa uongo, au kama akitenda dhambi yoyote ambayo watu waweza kuitenda;
4 Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore
wakati akitenda dhambi hizo na kuwa mwenye hatia, ni lazima arudishe kile alichokuwa amekiiba au amekichukua kwa dhuluma, au alichokuwa amekabidhiwa, au mali iliyokuwa imepotea akaipata,
5 All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the fifth part besides to the owner, whom he wronged.
au chochote alichokuwa amekiapia kwa uongo. Lazima akirudishe kikamilifu, na aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, vyote ampe mwenye mali siku ile anapeleka sadaka yake ya hatia.
6 Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish out of the flock, and shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offence:
Kisha kama adhabu lazima amletee kuhani, yaani kwa Bwana, kama sadaka yake ya hatia, kondoo dume asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani kamili kutoka kundi lake.
7 And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and he shall have forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he hath sinned.
Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mbele za Bwana, naye atasamehewa kwa kosa lolote katika mambo hayo aliyoyatenda yaliyomfanya kuwa na hatia.”
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
9 Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust: It shall be burnt upon the altar, all night until morning: the fire shall be of the same altar.
“Mpe Aroni na wanawe agizo hili: ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa: Sadaka ya kuteketezwa itabaki kwenye moto juu ya madhabahu usiku kucha, mpaka asubuhi, nao moto lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka juu ya madhabahu.
10 The priest shall be vested with the tunick and the linen breeches, and he shall take up the ashes of that which the devouring fire hath burnt, and putting them beside the altar,
Kisha kuhani atavaa mavazi yake ya kitani, pamoja na nguo za ndani za kitani mwilini wake, na aondoe majivu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo moto umeteketeza juu ya madhabahu, na kuyaweka kando ya madhabahu.
11 Shall put off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, shall carry them forth without the camp, and shall cause them to be consumed to dust in a very clean place,
Kisha atayavua mavazi haya na kuvaa mengine, naye achukue yale majivu nje ya kambi na kuyapeleka mahali palipo safi kwa kawaida ya ibada.
12 And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the priest shall feed it, putting wood on it every day in the morning, and laying on the holocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace offerings.
Moto ulio juu ya madhabahu lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka, kamwe usizimike. Kila asubuhi kuhani ataongeza kuni na kupanga sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya moto, na kuteketeza mafuta ya sadaka za amani juu yake.
13 This is the perpetual fire which shall never go out on the altar.
Moto lazima uendelee kuwaka juu ya madhabahu mfululizo, kamwe usizimike.
14 This is the law of the sacrifice and libations, which the children of Aaron shall offer before the Lord, and before the altar.
“‘Haya ndiyo masharti ya sadaka ya nafaka: Wana wa Aroni wataileta mbele za Bwana, mbele za madhabahu.
15 The priest shall take a handful of the flour that is tempered with oil, and all the frankincense that is put upon the flour: and he shall burn it on the altar for a memorial of most sweet odour to the Lord:
Kuhani atachukua konzi ya unga laini na mafuta, pamoja na uvumba wote ulioko juu ya sadaka ya nafaka, ateketeze sehemu ya kumbukumbu juu ya madhabahu kama harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
16 And the part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his sons shall eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it in the holy place of the court of the tabernacle.
Aroni na wanawe watakula sehemu iliyobaki, lakini italiwa bila kutiwa chachu mahali patakatifu, nao wataila kwenye ua wa Hema la Kukutania.
17 And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part thereof is offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord. It shall be most holy, as that which is offered for sin and for trespass.
Kamwe haitaokwa na chachu; nimewapa kama fungu lao la sadaka iliyotolewa kwangu kwa moto. Ni takatifu sana, kama vile ilivyo sadaka ya dhambi na ya hatia.
18 The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that toucheth them shall be sanctified.
Kila mwanaume mzao wa Aroni aweza kuila. Ni fungu lake la kawaida la sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto kwa vizazi vijavyo. Chochote kinachozigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.’”
19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Tena Bwana akamwambia Mose,
20 This is the oblation of Aaron, and of his sons, which they must offer to the Lord, in the day of their anointing: They shall offer the tenth part of an ephi of flour for a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening:
“Hii ni sadaka ambayo Aroni na wanawe wanapaswa kuleta kwa Bwana siku atakapotiwa mafuta: sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini kama sadaka ya kawaida ya nafaka. Nusu yake ataitoa asubuhi na nusu nyingine jioni.
21 It shall be tempered with oil, and shall be fried in a fryingpan.
Iandae kwa mafuta kwenye kikaango; ilete ikiwa imechanganywa vizuri, na utoe hiyo sadaka ya nafaka ikiwa imevunjwa vipande vipande kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
22 And the priest that rightfully succeedeth his father, shall offer it hot, for a most sweet odour to the Lord, and it shall be wholly burnt on the altar.
Mwanawe atakayeingia mahali pake kama kuhani aliyetiwa mafuta ndiye atakayeiandaa. Ni fungu la kawaida la Bwana, nalo litateketezwa kabisa.
23 For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed with fire, neither shall any man eat thereof.
Kila sadaka ya nafaka ya kuhani itateketezwa kabisa; kamwe haitaliwa.”
24 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
25 Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim for sin: in the place where the holocaust is offered, it shall be immolated before the Lord. It is holy of holies.
“Mwambie Aroni na wanawe: ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi: Sadaka ya dhambi itachinjiwa mbele za Bwana mahali sadaka ya kuteketezwa huchinjiwa, ni takatifu sana.
26 The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the court of the tabernacle.
Kuhani anayeitoa ndiye atakayeikula; itakuliwa katika mahali patakatifu, katika ua wa Hema la Kukutania.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in a holy place.
Chochote kitakachogusa nyama yoyote ya hiyo sadaka kitakuwa kitakatifu, na kama hiyo damu itadondokea juu ya vazi, lazima uifulie mahali patakatifu.
28 And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken, but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with water.
Chungu cha udongo kitakachopikiwa nyama lazima kivunjwe, lakini kama imepikiwa kwenye chombo cha shaba, chombo hicho kitasuguliwa na kusuuzwa kwa maji.
29 Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, because it is holy of holies.
Kila mwanaume katika familia ya kuhani aweza kula nyama hiyo; ni takatifu sana.
30 For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire.
Lakini kila sadaka ya dhambi ambayo damu yake imeletwa ndani ya Hema la Kukutania kufanya upatanisho katika Mahali Patakatifu kamwe haitaliwa; lazima iteketezwe.
