Leviticus 23
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, The feastes of ye Lord which yee shall call ye holie assemblies, euen these are my feasts.
“Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Hizi ndizo sikukuu zangu zilizoamriwa, sikukuu zilizoamriwa za Bwana, ambazo mtazitangaza kuwa makusanyiko matakatifu.
3 Six daies shall worke be done, but in the seuenth day shalbe the Sabbath of rest, an holie conuocation: ye shall do no worke therein, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, in all your dwellings.
“‘Kuna siku sita mnazoweza kufanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kupumzika, siku ya kusanyiko takatifu. Hamtafanya kazi yoyote. Popote mnapoishi, ni Sabato kwa Bwana.
4 These are the feastes of the Lord, and holie conuocations, which yee shall proclaime in their seasons.
“‘Hizi ni sikukuu za Bwana zilizoamriwa, makusanyiko matakatifu mtakayoyatangaza kwa nyakati zilizoamriwa:
5 In the first moneth, and in the fourteenth day of the moneth at euening shalbe ye Passeouer of the Lord.
Pasaka ya Bwana huanza jioni ya siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza.
6 And on the fifteenth day of this moneth shalbe the feast of vnleauened bread vnto the Lord: seuen dayes ye shall eate vnleauened bread.
Siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi huo wa kwanza, Sikukuu ya Bwana ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu huanza; kwa siku saba, mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu.
7 In the first day yee shall haue an holy conuocation: ye shall do no seruile worke therein.
Katika siku ya kwanza, mtakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
8 Also ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord seuen daies, and in the seuenth day shalbe an holie conuocation: ye shall do no seruile worke therein.
Kwa siku saba mtamletea Bwana sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto. Kwenye siku hiyo ya saba mtafanya kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.’”
9 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come into ye land which I giue vnto you, and reape the haruest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheafe of the first fruites of your haruest vnto the Priest,
“Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia katika nchi nitakayowapa na kuvuna mazao ya nchi hiyo, leteni kwa kuhani mganda wa nafaka ya kwanza mtakayovuna.
11 And hee shall shake the sheafe before the Lord, that it may be acceptable for you: the morowe after the Sabbath, the Priest shall shake it.
Naye atauinua huo mganda mbele za Bwana ili ukubaliwe kwa niaba yenu; kuhani ataupunga siku inayofuata Sabato.
12 And that day when yee shake the sheafe, shall yee prepare a lambe without blemish of a yeere olde, for a burnt offring vnto the Lord:
Siku hiyo mtakapoinua huo mganda, lazima mtoe kwa Bwana dhabihu ya kuteketezwa kwa moto ya mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiye na dosari,
13 And the meate offring thereof shalbe two tenth deales of fine floure mingled with oyle, for a sacrifice made by fire vnto ye Lord of sweete sauour. and the drinke offring thereof the fourth part of an Hin of wine.
pamoja na sadaka yake ya nafaka ya sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kupendeza, na sadaka yake ya kinywaji ya robo ya hini ya divai.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread nor parched corne, nor greene eares vntill the selfe same day that ye haue brought an offring vnto your God: this shalbe a lawe for euer in your generations and in all your dwellings.
Kamwe msile mkate wowote, au nafaka iliyokaangwa au nafaka mpya, mpaka siku ile mtakayomletea Mungu wenu sadaka hii. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo, popote mnapoishi.
15 Ye shall count also to you from the morowe after the Sabbath, euen from the day that yee shall bring the sheafe of the shake offring, seuen Sabbaths, they shalbe complete.
“‘Tangu siku ile iliyofuata Sabato, siku mliyotoa sadaka ya mganda wa kuinuliwa, hesabuni majuma saba kamili.
16 Vnto ye morow after the seuenth Sabbath shall ye nomber fiftie dayes: then yee shall bring a newe meate offring vnto the Lord.
Mtahesabu siku hamsini mpaka siku inayofuata Sabato ya saba, ndipo mtatoa sadaka ya nafaka mpya kwa Bwana.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations bread for the shake offring: they shalbe two loaues of two tenth deales of fine floure, which shalbe baken with leauen for first fruites vnto the Lord.
Kutoka popote mnapoishi, mtaleta mikate miwili ya unga laini, sehemu mbili za kumi za efa, uliookwa kwa chachu, kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa ya malimbuko kwa Bwana.
18 Also yee shall offer with the bread seuen lambes without blemish of one yeere olde, and a yong bullocke and two rams: they shalbe for a burnt offring vnto the Lord, with their meate offrings and their drinke offrings, for a sacrifice made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.
Toeni pamoja na hiyo mikate wana-kondoo saba, kila mmoja wa mwaka mmoja asiye na dosari, na fahali mchanga, na kondoo dume wawili. Watakuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto iliyotolewa kwa Bwana, pamoja na sadaka za nafaka na sadaka za vinywaji, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto yenye harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
19 Then ye shall prepare an hee goate for a sinne offring, and two lambes of one yeere olde for peace offrings.
Kisha toeni dhabihu ya mbuzi dume mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na wana-kondoo wawili, kila mmoja wa mwaka mmoja, kwa ajili ya sadaka ya amani.
20 And the Priest shall shake them to and from with the bread of the first fruits before the Lord, and with the two lambes: they shalbe holy to the Lord, for the Priest.
Kuhani atawainua hao wana-kondoo wawili mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa, pamoja na mkate wa malimbuko. Ni sadaka takatifu kwa Bwana kwa ajili ya kuhani.
21 So ye shall proclayme the same day, that it may be an holie conuocation vnto you: ye shall doe no seruile worke therein: it shalbe an ordinance for euer in al your dwellinges, throughout your generations.
Siku iyo hiyo mtatangaza kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo, popote mnapoishi.
22 And when you reape the haruest of your land, thou shalt not rid cleane the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou make any aftergathering of thy haruest, but shalt leaue them vnto the poore and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Mnapovuna mavuno ya ardhi yenu, msivune hadi mpakani mwa shamba lenu, au kukusanya masazo ya mavuno yenu. Hayo utayaacha kwa ajili ya maskini na mgeni. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
24 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, In the seuenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth shall ye haue a Sabbath, for the remembrance of blowing the trumpets, an holy conuocation.
“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa saba mtakuwa na siku ya mapumziko, kusanyiko takatifu la ukumbusho litakaloadhimishwa kwa kupiga tarumbeta.
25 Ye shall do no seruile worke therein, but offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.
Msifanye kazi zenu zozote za kawaida, lakini toeni sadaka kwa Bwana iliyoteketezwa kwa moto.’”
26 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
27 The tenth also of this seuenth moneth shalbe a day of reconciliation: it shalbe an holie conuocation vnto you, and yee shall humble your soules, and offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.
“Siku ya kumi ya mwezi huu wa saba ni Siku ya Upatanisho. Mtafanya kusanyiko takatifu, mfunge, nanyi mtoe sadaka kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto.
28 And ye shall doe no worke that same day: for it is a day of reconciliation, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
Msifanye kazi siku hiyo, kwa sababu ni Siku ya Upatanisho, ambapo upatanisho unafanyika kwa ajili yenu mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
29 For euery person that humbleth not himselfe that same day, shall euen be cut off from his people.
Mtu yeyote ambaye hatafunga siku hiyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
30 And euery person that shall doe any work that same day, the same person also will I destroy from among his people.
Mtu yeyote atakayefanya kazi siku hiyo nitamwangamiza kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake.
31 Ye shall do no maner worke therefore: this shalbe a law for euer in your generations, throughout all your dwellings.
Hamtafanya kazi kamwe. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo popote mnapoishi.
32 This shalbe vnto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall humble your soules: in the ninth day of the moneth at euen, from euen to euen shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.
Ni Sabato ya mapumziko kwenu ninyi, na lazima mfunge. Tangu jioni ya siku ya tisa ya mwezi hadi jioni inayofuata, mtaishika Sabato yenu.”
33 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
34 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, In the fifteenth day of this seueth moneth shalbe for seuen dayes the feast of Tabernacles vnto the Lord.
“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Katika siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba, Sikukuu ya Bwana ya vibanda itaanza, nayo itaadhimishwa kwa siku saba.
35 In the first day shalbe an holie conuocation: ye shall do no seruile worke therein.
Siku ya kwanza ni kusanyiko takatifu, msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
36 Seuen daies ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, and in the eight day shalbe an holy conuocation vnto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire vnto the Lord: it is the solemne assemblie, yee shall doe no seruile worke therein.
Kwa siku saba toeni sadaka kwa Bwana za kuteketezwa kwa moto. Kwenye siku ya nane fanyeni kusanyiko takatifu, na mtoe sadaka kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto. Ni kusanyiko la mwisho, msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
37 These are the feastes of the Lord (which ye shall call holie conuocations) to offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, as burnt offring, and meate offring, sacrifice, and drinke offrings, euery one vpon his day,
(“‘Hizi ni sikukuu za Bwana zilizoamriwa, ambazo mtazitangaza kuwa makusanyiko matakatifu kwa kuleta sadaka kwa Bwana za kuteketeza kwa moto: sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za nafaka, dhabihu na sadaka za vinywaji zitahitajika kila siku.
38 Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your giftes, and beside al your vowes, and beside all your free offrings, which ye shall giue vnto the Lord.
Sadaka hizi ni nyongeza ya zile mnazozitoa katika Sabato za Bwana, na pia ni nyongeza ya matoleo yenu ya chochote mlichoweka nadhiri, na sadaka zenu zote za hiari mnazozitoa kwa Bwana.)
39 But in the fifteenth day of the seueth moneth, when ye haue gathered in the fruite of the land, ye shall keepe an holie feast vnto the Lord seuen daies: in the first day shalbe a Sabbath: likewise in the eight day shalbe a Sabbath.
“‘Basi kuanzia siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba, baada ya kuvuna mazao yote ya nchi, mtaadhimisha sikukuu kwa Bwana kwa siku saba; siku ya kwanza ni mapumziko, pia siku ya nane ni mapumziko.
40 And yee shall take you in the first day the fruite of goodly trees, branches of palme trees, and the boughes of thicke trees, and willowes of the brooke, and shall reioyce before the Lord your God seuen daies.
Siku ya kwanza mtachukua matunda mazuri ya miti, matawi ya mitende, matawi yenye majani mengi, na matawi ya mirebi, nanyi mtashangilia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu kwa siku saba.
41 So ye shall keepe this feast vnto the Lord seuen daies in the yere, by a perpetuall ordinance through your generations: in the seuenth moneth shall you keepe it.
Mtaadhimisha siku hii kuwa sikukuu kwa Bwana kwa siku saba kila mwaka. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo; iadhimisheni mwezi wa saba.
42 Ye shall dwell in boothes seuen daies: all that are Israelites borne, shall dwel in boothes,
Mtaishi katika vibanda kwa siku saba: Wazawa wote wa Waisraeli wataishi katika vibanda,
43 That your posterity may know that I haue made the children of Israel to dwell in boothes, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
ili wazao wenu wajue kuwa niliwafanya Waisraeli waishi kwenye vibanda nilipowatoa Misri. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
44 So Moses declared vnto the children of Israel the feastes of the Lord.
Kwa hiyo Mose akawatangazia Waisraeli sikukuu zilizoamriwa na Bwana.
