Leviticus 24
1 The Lord told Moses,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 “Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.
“Waagize Waisraeli wakuletee mafuta safi ya zeituni yaliyokamuliwa kwa ajili ya mwanga ili taa ziwe zinawaka daima.
3 From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps continually before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
Nje ya pazia la Ushuhuda ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, Aroni ataziwasha taa mbele za Bwana kuanzia jioni hadi asubuhi bila kuzima. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo.
4 He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
Taa zilizo juu ya kinara cha dhahabu safi mbele za Bwana lazima zihudumiwe daima.
5 Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.
“Chukua unga laini, uoke mikate kumi na miwili, ukitumia sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga kwa kila mkate.
6 Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.
Iweke katika mistari miwili, kila mstari mikate sita, uiweke mbele za Bwana juu ya meza iliyotengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi.
7 Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.
Kando ya kila mstari, weka uvumba safi kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu ili kuwakilisha mikate kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.
Mikate hii itawekwa mbele za Bwana kila wakati, Sabato baada ya Sabato, kwa niaba ya Waisraeli, kuwa Agano la kudumu.
9 It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
Hii ni mali ya Aroni na wanawe, watakaoila katika mahali patakatifu, kwa sababu ni sehemu takatifu sana ya fungu lao la kawaida la sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto.”
10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite.
Basi mwana wa mama Mwisraeli na baba Mmisri alikwenda miongoni mwa Waisraeli, nayo mapigano yakatokea ndani ya kambi kati yake na Mwisraeli.
11 The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.)
Huyu mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akalikufuru Jina la Bwana kwa kulaani; kwa hiyo wakamleta kwa Mose. (Jina la mama yake aliitwa Shelomithi binti wa Dibri, wa kabila la Dani.)
12 They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
Nao wakamweka mahabusu mpaka mapenzi ya Bwana yawe wazi kwao.
13 The Lord told Moses,
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose:
14 “Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death.
“Mchukue huyo aliyekufuru nje ya kambi. Wale wote waliomsikia akikufuru wataweka mikono juu ya kichwa chake, kisha kusanyiko lote litampiga mawe.
15 Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.
Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamlaani Mungu wake, atakuwa na hatia kwa uovu wake;
16 Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must to be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.
yeyote atakayekufuru Jina la Bwana ni lazima auawe. Kusanyiko lote litampiga kwa mawe. Iwe ni mgeni au mzawa, atakapolikufuru Jina la Bwana, ni lazima auawe.
17 Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
“‘Kama mtu yeyote atamuua mtu mwingine, ni lazima auawe.
18 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.
Mtu yeyote auaye mnyama wa mtu mwingine lazima afidie, uhai kwa uhai.
19 If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:
Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamjeruhi jirani yake, chochote alichomtenda naye atatendewa:
20 a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them.
iwapo amemvunja mfupa atavunjwa mfupa, jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino. Kama alivyomjeruhi mwenzake, vivyo hivyo ndivyo atakavyojeruhiwa.
21 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
Yeyote auaye mnyama wa mtu lazima alipe fidia, lakini yeyote auaye mtu, lazima auawe.
22 The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
Mtakuwa na sheria iyo hiyo kwa mgeni na kwa mzawa. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
23 Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.
Kisha Mose akasema na Waisraeli, nao wakamchukua yule aliyekufuru nje ya kambi na kumpiga mawe. Waisraeli wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
