Leviticus 24
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
2 'Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn 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 veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a statute for ever throughout 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 order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
Kuhani mkuu atazifanya taa ziwake daima mbele za Yahweh, taa hizo zilizo kwenye kinara cha dhahabu safi.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be 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 rows, six in a row, upon 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 And thou shalt put pure frankincense with each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial-part, even an offering made by fire unto 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 Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is from the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.
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 it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, a perpetual due.'
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 the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
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 And the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother's name 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 ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD.
Wakamweka kizuizini mpaka Yahweh mwenyewe atakapotangaza mapenzi yake kwao.
13 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
14 'Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon 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 speak unto the children of Israel, saying: Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
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, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
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 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
Naye amuuaye mtu mwingine ni lazima kwa hakika auewa.
18 And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.
Yeye anayemuua mnyama wa mwingine sharti amfidie, uhai kwa uhai.
19 And if a man maim 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 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath maimed a man, so shall it be rendered unto 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 make it good; and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.
Yeyote auaye mnyama ni lazima amfidie, na yeyote auaye mtu ni lazima auawe.
22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the home-born; 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 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD 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.
