Leviticus 1
1 The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Bwana akamwita Mose na kusema naye kutoka kwenye Hema la Kukutania, akamwambia,
2 “Go and speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you present an offering to the Lord, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd of cattle or the flock of sheep or goats.
“Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie, ‘Yeyote miongoni mwenu aletapo sadaka ya mnyama kwa Bwana, alete mnyama kama sadaka yake kutoka kundi lake la ngʼombe au la kondoo na mbuzi.
3 If your offering is a burnt offering from a herd of cattle, you must offer a male without any defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting so it can be accepted before the Lord.
“‘Kama sadaka hiyo ni ya kuteketezwa kutoka kwenye kundi la ngʼombe, atamtoa ngʼombe dume asiye na dosari. Ni lazima amlete kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania ili aweze kukubalika kwa Bwana.
4 Put your hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on your behalf to make you right.
Ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha sadaka ya kuteketezwa, nayo itakubaliwa kwa niaba yake ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake.
5 You are to kill the bull in the Lord's presence, and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Atamchinja yule fahali mchanga mbele za Bwana, kisha wana wa Aroni walio makuhani wataleta damu na kuinyunyiza pande zote za madhabahu yaliyo penye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
6 Then you are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
Ataichuna hiyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kuikata vipande vipande.
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall start a fire on the altar and put wood on it.
Wana wa Aroni kuhani wataweka moto juu ya madhabahu na kupanga kuni juu ya huo moto.
8 Then the priests shall carefully place the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
Kisha wana wa Aroni walio makuhani watapanga vile vipande vya nyama, pamoja na kichwa na mafuta ya huyo mnyama juu ya zile kuni zinazowaka juu ya madhabahu.
9 You shall wash the insides and legs with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
Ataziosha sehemu za ndani na miguu yake kwa maji, naye kuhani atavichoma vyote juu ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, yenye harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
10 If your offering is a burnt offering from a flock, either sheep or goats, you must offer a male without any defects.
“‘Kama sadaka ni ya kuteketezwa kutoka kwenye kundi la kondoo au mbuzi, atamtoa mnyama dume asiye na dosari.
11 You are to kill it on the north side of the altar in the Lord's presence, and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.
Atamchinjia upande wa kaskazini wa madhabahu mbele za Bwana, nao wana wa Aroni walio makuhani watanyunyizia damu yake pande zote za madhabahu.
12 Then you are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall carefully place the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
Atamkata vipande vipande, naye kuhani atavipanga, pamoja na kichwa na mafuta ya mnyama juu ya zile kuni zinazowaka juu ya madhabahu.
13 You shall wash the insides and legs with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
Ataosha sehemu za ndani na miguu kwa maji, naye kuhani atavileta vyote na kuvichoma juu ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
14 If your offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a turtledove or a young pigeon.
“‘Kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa inayotolewa kwa Bwana ni ndege, atamtoa hua au kinda la njiwa.
15 The priest shall take it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
Kuhani atamleta kwenye madhabahu, naye atamvunja shingo na kumnyofoa kichwa na kumchoma juu ya madhabahu. Damu yake itachuruzishwa ubavuni mwa madhabahu.
16 He must remove the crop and the feathers, and throw them to the east side of the altar into the ash pile.
Ataondoa kifuko cha chakula pamoja na uchafu wake na kuvitupa upande wa mashariki wa madhabahu, mahali pale penye majivu.
17 He shall tear it open by its wings, but not completely apart. The priest is to burn it on the altar on the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
Atampasua na kumweka wazi katika mabawa yake, lakini asimwachanishe kabisa, kisha kuhani ataichoma juu ya zile kuni zinazowaka juu ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
