< Numbers 15 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Speak to the children of Israel and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be come into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,
“Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Baada ya ninyi kuingia katika nchi ninayowapa kama nyumbani,
3 And shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust, or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep:
nanyi mkitoa sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa moto, kutoka makundi ya ngʼombe au kondoo, kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana, ikiwa ni sadaka za kuteketezwa au dhabihu, kwa ajili ya nadhiri maalum ama sadaka ya hiari au sadaka ya sikukuu zenu,
4 Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
ndipo yeye aletaye sadaka yake ataiweka mbele za Bwana sadaka ya nafaka, sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini uliochanganywa na robo ya hini ya mafuta.
5 And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,
Pamoja na kila mwana-kondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa au dhabihu, andaa robo ya hini ya divai kwa sadaka ya kinywaji.
6 And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of hour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the third part of a hin of oil:
“‘Pamoja na kondoo dume andaa sadaka ya nafaka ya sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na theluthi moja ya hini ya mafuta,
7 And he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.
na theluthi moja ya hini ya divai kama sadaka ya kinywaji. Vitoe kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
8 But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfill thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
“‘Unapoandaa fahali mchanga kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa au dhabihu, kwa ajili ya nadhiri maalum au sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana,
9 Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,
leta pamoja na huyo fahali sadaka ya nafaka ya unga laini sehemu tatu za kumi za efa uliochanganywa na nusu ya hini ya mafuta.
10 And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.
Pia utaleta nusu ya hini ya divai kama sadaka ya kinywaji. Itakuwa sadaka iliyoteketezwa kwa moto, harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
Kila fahali au kondoo dume, kila mwana-kondoo au mbuzi mchanga, atatayarishwa kwa njia hii.
12 For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
Fanyeni hivi kwa ajili ya kila mmoja, kwa kadiri ya wingi wa mtakavyoandaa.
13 Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers,
“‘Kila mmoja ambaye ni mzawa ni lazima afanye vitu hivi kwa njia hii hapo aletapo sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
14 Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
Kwa vizazi vijavyo, wakati wowote mgeni au mtu mwingine yeyote anayeishi miongoni mwenu aletapo sadaka ya kuteketezwa kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana, ni lazima afanye sawasawa kabisa na jinsi mnavyofanya ninyi.
15 There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.
Jumuiya itakuwa na sheria hizo hizo kwenu na kwa mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu; hii ni amri ya kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo. Ninyi na mgeni mtakuwa sawa mbele za Bwana:
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Sheria hizo hizo na masharti hayo hayo hayo, yatawahusu ninyi na mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu.’”
17 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
18 When you are come into the land which I will give you,
“Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia katika nchi ninayowapeleka
19 And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord,
nanyi mkala chakula cha nchi hiyo, toeni sehemu ya chakula hicho kama sadaka kwa Bwana.
20 Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:
Toeni andazi kutoka kwa malimbuko ya chakula chenu kitokacho katika ardhi, na mkitoe kama sadaka kutoka sakafu ya kupuria nafaka.
21 So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.
Kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo hamna budi kutoa sadaka hii kwa Bwana kutoka kwa malimbuko ya unga wenu.
22 And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,
“‘Basi kama pasipo kukusudia umeshindwa kushika mojawapo katika amri hizi ambazo Bwana alimpa Mose,
23 And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,
amri yoyote ya Bwana kwenu kupitia Mose, tangu siku ile Bwana alipowapa na inaendelea hadi vizazi vyote vijavyo;
24 And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libations thereof, as the ceremonies require, and a buck goat for sin:
ikiwa hili limefanyika pasipo kukusudia bila jumuiya kuwa na habari nalo, basi jumuiya yote itatoa fahali mchanga kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa ikiwa harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana, pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka na ya kinywaji zilizoamriwa kwayo, na mbuzi dume kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
25 And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the children of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because they sinned ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt offering to the Lord for themselves and for their sin and their ignorance:
Kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli, nao watasamehewa, kwa kuwa haikuwa makusudi nao wamemletea Bwana sadaka iliyoteketezwa kwa moto na sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya kosa lao.
26 And it shall be forgiven all the people of the children of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance.
Jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli pamoja na wageni waishio miongoni mwao watasamehewa, kwa sababu watu wote walihusika katika kosa lile lisilokusudiwa.
27 But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.
“‘Lakini kama mtu mmoja peke yake akitenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia, ni lazima alete mbuzi mke wa mwaka mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
28 And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.
Kuhani atafanya upatanisho mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya yule aliyekosa kwa kufanya dhambi pasipo kukusudia, upatanisho utakapofanywa kwa ajili yake, atasamehewa.
29 The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.
Sheria hiyo moja itamhusu kila mmoja ambaye ametenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia, awe Mwisraeli mzawa ama mgeni.
30 But the soul that committeth any thing through pride, whether he be born in the land or a stranger (because he hath been rebellious against the Lord) shall be cut off from among his people:
“‘Lakini yeyote ambaye amefanya dhambi kwa dharau awe mzawa au mgeni, anamkufuru Bwana, naye mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
31 For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.
Kwa sababu amelidharau neno la Bwana na kuvunja amri zake, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali; hatia yake inabaki juu yake.’”
32 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day,
Waisraeli walipokuwa jangwani, mtu mmoja alikutwa akikusanya kuni siku ya Sabato.
33 That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.
Wale waliomkuta akikusanya kuni wakamleta kwa Mose, Aroni na kusanyiko lote,
34 And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
nao wakamweka kifungoni, kwa sababu haikufahamika kwa wazi kwamba afanyiwe nini.
35 And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Huyo mtu ni lazima afe. Kusanyiko lote lazima limpige mawe nje ya kambi.”
36 And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.
Hivyo kusanyiko likamtoa nje ya kambi na kumpiga mawe hadi akafa, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
37 The Lord also said to Moses:
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
38 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them I to make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands of blue:
“Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo jifanyieni vifundo katika pindo za mavazi yenu vikiwa na uzi wa buluu kwenye kila kifundo.
39 That when they shall see them, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own thoughts and eyes going astray after divers things,
Mtakuwa mkivitazama vifundo hivyo ili mpate kukumbuka amri zote za Bwana, ili mpate kuzitii msije mkajitia uzinzi wenyewe kwa kuzifuata tamaa za mioyo yenu na za macho yenu.
40 But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their God.
Ndipo mtakumbuka kuzitii amri zangu zote nanyi mtawekwa wakfu kwa Mungu wenu.
41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
Mimi Ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi Ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
