Leviticus 1
1 The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Mungu alimwita Musa na alisema naye kutoka kweye hema la kukutania, akasema,
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 wana wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Mwanaume yeyote miongoni mwenu akileta sadaka kwa Bwana, aleta kama matoleo katika wanyama wako, iwapo mifugo au katika kundi.”
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 matoleo yake ni ya sadaka ya kutekezwa kutoka katika kundi, atatoa dume asiyekuwa na kasoro. Atamtoa katika mlango wa kuingilia katika hema ya kukutania, ili iwe imekubaliwa mbele za 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 mikono yake kichwani pa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na ndipo itakuwa imekubaliwa badala yake kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mwenyewe.
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.
Ndipo atapaswa kuchinja ng'ombe mbele ya Bwana. Watoto wa Aroni, makuhani wataleta damu na kuinyunyizia katika madhabahu iliyo katika mlango wa kuingilia katika hema la kukutania.
6 Then you are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
Ndipo ataichuna sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kuikata vipande.
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall start a fire on the altar and put wood on it.
Kisha wana wa Haruni kuhani wataweka moto katika madhabahu na kuweka kuni ili kuchochea moto.
8 Then the priests shall carefully place the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
Wana wa Haruni, makuhani wataweka vipande, kichwa na mafuta, watazipanga juu ya kuni zilizoko juu ya moto ulio madhabahuni.
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.
Lakini matumbo yake na miguu lazima ataiosha kwa maji. Kisha kuhani atateketeza kila kitu kilicho juu ya madhabahu kama sadaka ya kuteketeza. Italeta harufu nzuri sana kwangu; itakuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto kwa ajili yangu.
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 kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketeza kutoka kundi, kondoo au mbuzi, lazima atoe dume asiye na kasoro.
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.
Lazima atamchinja juu ya madhabahu iliyo katika upande wa kaskazini mbele ya Bwana. Wana wa Haruni makuhani, watanyunyiza damu kila upande wa 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.
Kisha ataikata katika vipande, pamoja na kichwa na mafuta yake, kuhani atavipanga juu ya kuni zilizo katika moto ulio madhabahuni,
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.
lakini matumbo yake na miguu yake lazima ioshwe kwa maji. Kisha kuhani atatoa yote na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu. Ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, italeta harufu nzuri kwa ajili ya Bwana; itakuwa sadaka ya Bwana iliyotolewa kwa moto.
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 yake kwa Bwana itakuwa ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa ni ndege, ndipo ataleta kama sadaka yake aidha ni huwa 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 ataileta madhabahuni, atamnyonga kichwa chake, na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu. Kisha damu yake itachuruzishwa juu ya pande za madhabahu.
16 He must remove the crop and the feathers, and throw them to the east side of the altar into the ash pile.
Kisha atakiondoa kibofu chake pamoja na uchafu wake, na kukiweka upande wa mashariki mwa madhabahu, katika sehemu ya 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.
Kisha atapasua mabawa yake, lakini hatagawanya katika vipande viwili. Kisha Kuhani atamtekeza katika madhabahu, juu ya kuni amabazo ziko juu ya moto. Itakuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na italeta harufu nzuri sana kwa Bwana; itakuwa sadaka ya Bwana iliyotolewa kwa moto.
