Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
2 Commande the children of Israel that they bring vnto thee pure oyle oliue beaten, for the light, to cause ye lampes to burne continually.
“Waamru watu wa Israeli wakuletee mafuta halisi yaliyokamliwa kutokana na mizeituni ili yatumike kwenye taa, ili kwamba taa ziweze kuwaka daima na kuleta mwanga.
3 Without the vaile of the Testimonie, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron dresse them, both euen and morning before the Lord alwayes: this shalbe a lawe for euer through your generations.
Nje ya pazia lililoko mbele ya sanduku la maamzi ndani ya hema la kukutania, Aroni ataiwasha daima taa mbele za Yahweh, tangu asubuhi hata jioni. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu.
4 He shall dresse the lampes vpon the pure Candlesticke before the Lord perpetually.
Kuhani mkuu atazifanya taa ziwake daima mbele za Yahweh, taa hizo zilizo kwenye kinara cha dhahabu safi.
5 Also thou shalt take fine floure, and bake twelue cakes thereof: two tenth deales shalbe in one cake.
Yawapasa kuchukua unga laini na kuoka kwa huo mikate kumi na miwili. Ni lazima kuwe na mbili za kumi za efa za unga katika kila mkate.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rowes, six in a rowe vpon the pure table before the Lord.
Kisha mtaipanga juu ya meza ya dhahabu safi mbele za Yahweh katika safu mbili, mikate sita katika kila safu,
7 Thou shalt also put pure incense vpon the rowes, that in steade of the bread it may bee for a remembrance, and an offering made by fire to the Lord.
Mtaweka uvumba safi kando ya kila safu ya mikata kuwa sadaka ya kuwakilisha. Uvumba huo utachomwa kwa moto kwa ajili ya Yahweh.
8 Euery Sabbath hee shall put them in rowes before the Lord euermore, receiuing them of the children of Israel for an euerlasting couenant.
Kila siku ya Sabato kuhani mkuu sharti aipange kwa utaratibu hiyo mikate mbele za Yahweh kwa niaba ya watu wa Israeli, iwe ishara ya agano la milele.
9 And the bread shalbe Aarons and his sonnes, and they shall eate it in the holie place: for it is most holie vnto him of the offrings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetuall ordinance.
Sadaka hii itakuwa kwa ajili ya Aroni na wanawe, na ni lazima waile mahali palipo patakatifu, kwa kuwa ni sehemu ya matoleo kwa Yahweh yaliyofanywa kwa moto.”
10 And there went out among the children of Israel the sonne of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian: and this sonne of the Israelitish woman, and a man of Israel stroue together in the hoste.
Sasa ilitokea kwamba mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli, ambaye baba yake alikuwa Mmisri, alikwenda miongoni mwa watu wa Israeli. Huyu mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akagombana na mwanume Mwisraeli kambini.
11 So the Israelitish womans sonne blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed, and they brought him vnto Moses (his mothers name also was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan)
Mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akalikufuru jina la Yahweh na kumlaani Mungu, kwa hiyo watu wakamleta kwa Musa. Jina la mama yake aliitwa Shelomithi, binti wa Dibri, kutoka kabila la Dani.
12 And they put him in warde, till he tolde them the minde of the Lord.
Wakamweka kizuizini mpaka Yahweh mwenyewe atakapotangaza mapenzi yake kwao.
13 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
14 Bring the blasphemer without the hoste, and let all that heard him, put their handes vpon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him.
“Mchukue nje ya kambi huyo aliyemlaani Mungu. Wale wote waliomskia wataweka mikono yao juu ya kichwa chake, na kisha kusanyiko lote watamponda kwa mawe.
15 And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall beare his sinne.
Ni lazima uwaeleze watu wa Israeli na kusema, 'Yeyote anayemlaani Mungu wake imempasa kubeba hatia yake mwenyewe.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shalbe put to death: all the Congregation shall stone him to death: aswell the stranger, as he that is borne in the lande: when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, let him beslaine.
Yeye anayelikufuru jina la Yahweh kwa hakika ni lazima auawe. Hakika, kusanyiko lote litampiga mawe, ama awe mgeni au Mwisraeli mwenyeji mzaliwa. Ikiwa yeyote analikufuru jina la Yahweh, ni lazima auawe.
17 He also that killeth any man, he shall be put to death.
Naye amuuaye mtu mwingine ni lazima kwa hakika auewa.
18 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast.
Yeye anayemuua mnyama wa mwingine sharti amfidie, uhai kwa uhai.
19 Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbour: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him.
Iwapo mtu anamjeruhi jirani yake, ni lazima atendewe vivyo hivyo alivyomtendea jirani yake:
20 Breache for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shalbe repayed to him.
Mvunjiko kwa mvunjiko, jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino. Kama amesababisha jeraha kwa mtu, ndivyo ipasavyo kutendwa kwake.
21 And he that killeth a beast shall restore it: but he that killeth a man shall be slaine.
Yeyote auaye mnyama ni lazima amfidie, na yeyote auaye mtu ni lazima auawe.
22 Ye shall haue one lawe: it shalbe aswel for the stranger as for one borne in the countrey: for I am the Lord your God.
Ni lazima mwe na sheria moja kwa wote, mgeni na Mwisraeli mwenyeji mzaliwa, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wanu.”
23 Then Moses tolde the children of Israel, and they brought the blasphemer out of the hoste, and stoned him with stones: so the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Kwa hiyo Musa akazungumza na watu wa Israeli, nao watu wakamleta mwanaume huyo nje ya kambi, yule ambaye alikuwa amemlaani Yahweh. Wakampiga kwa mawe. Watu waisraeli wakaitekeleza amri ya Yahweh aliyoitoa kupitia Musa.
