< Leviticus 10 >
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
Nadabu na Abihu, wana wa Aroni, wakachukua kila mtu kifukizo chake, akaweka moto ndani yake, na kisha uvumba. Kisha wakatoa moto usiokuabalika mbele za Yahweh, moto ambao hakuwaamru wao kuutoa.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
Kwa hiyo moto ukashuka chini mbele za Yahweh na kuwala, nao wakafa mbele za Yahweh.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
Kisha Musa akamwambia Aroni, Hivi ndiyo Yahweh alivyokuwa akizunguzia aliposema, 'Nitaufunua utakatifu wangu kwa wale wajao mbele zangu. Nami nitatukuzwa mbele za watu wote.'” Naye Aroni hakusema neno lolote.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
Musa akamwita Mishaeli na Elzafani, wana wa Uzieli mjomba wa Aroni, naye akamwambia, “njoo huku na uwatowe ndugu zako nje ya kambi watoke mbele ya hema.”
5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
Hivyo wakakaribia na kuwachukua wangali wamevaa kanzu zao za kikuhani, nao wakawapeleka nje ya kambi, kama Musa alivyokuwa ameelekeza. Kisha Musa akamwambia Aroni na wanawe wengine wawili, Eliezari na Ithamari, “
6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest all of you die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, mourn for the burning which the LORD has kindled.
Msiache wazi nywele za vichwa vyenu, wala msirarue nguo zenu, ili kwamba msije mkafa, na kwamba Yahweh asilikasirikie kusanyiko zima. Lakini waacheni jamaa zenu, nyumba yote ya Israeli waweze kufanya ibada za maombolezo kwa ajili ya hao ambao Yahweh amewaangamiza kwa moto.
7 And all of you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest all of you die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
Msiende nje kutoka kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania, ama sivyo mtakufa, kwa kuwa mafuta ya Yahweh ya upako yako juu yenu.” Kwa hiyo wakatenda sawasawa na maelekezo ya Musa.
8 And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, saying,
Mungu akazungumza na Aroni, akisema,
9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when all of you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest all of you die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
“Msinywe mvinyo wala kinywaji kikali, wewe, au wanao wanaobaki pamoja nawe, ili kwamba mtakapoingia kwenye hema ya kukutania msije mkafa. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu,
10 And that all of you may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
ili kupaambanua kati ya mambo matakatifu na mambo ya kawaida, na kati ya najisi na safi,
11 And that all of you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
ili kwamba mweze kuwafundisha watu wa Israeli amri zote ambazo Yahweh ameziamru kwa kinywa cha Musa.
12 And Moses spoke unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the food offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
Musa akazungumza na Aroni na wanawe wawili waliosalia; Eliazari naIthamari, Twaeni sadaka ya nafaka inayobaki kutokana na sadaka ifanywayo kwa Yahweh kwa moto, nanyi ileni kando ya madhabahu bila hamiara, kwa kuwa ni takatifu sana.
13 And all of you shall eat it in the holy place, because it is your due, and your sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.
lazima mtaila mahali patatifu kwa sababu huo ni mgao wako wewe na mgao wa wanao wa matoleo yaliyofanywa kwa Yahweh kwa moto, kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo limeamriwa niwaambie.
14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall all of you eat in a clean place; you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they be your due, and your sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
Kile kidari kitikiswacho na lile paja ambalo hutolewa kwa Yahweh, yapasa mzile mahali palipo safi panapokubalika kwa Mungu. Wewe mwenyewe, wanao na binti zako waliopamoja nawe mtakula sehemu hizo, kwa kuwa zimetolewa kuwa mgao wako na mgao wa wanao kutokana na dhabihu ya sadaka ya ushirika wa watu wa Israeli.
15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, by a statute for ever; as the LORD has commanded.
Lile paja lililotolewa na kidari kilichotikiswa, ni lazima ziletwe pamoja na sadaka ya mafuta iliyofanywa kwa moto, ili kutikiswa mbele za Yahweh. Nazo zitakuwa zako wewe na wanao kuwa mgao wenu daima, kama Yahweh alivyoamru.
16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
Kisha Musa akauliza kuhusu yule mbuzi wa sadaka ya dhambi, naye akagundua kwamba alikuwa ametekezwa kwa moto. Kwa hiyo akawakasirikia Eliazari na Ithamari, wana wa Aroni waliosalia; akawaambia,
17 Wherefore have all of you not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
“Kwa nini hamjaila sadaka ya dhambi katika eneo la hema, kwa kuwa ni takatifu sana, na kwa kuwa Yahweh amishaitoa kwenu ili kuchukua uovu wa kusanyiko, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa aijli yao mbele zake?
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: all of you should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
Tazama, damu yake haikuletwa ndani ya hema, kwa hiyo iliwapasa kwa hakika kuwa mekwisha ila kwenye eneo la hema, kama nilivyoagiza?
19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
Kisha Aroni akamjibu Musa, “Tazama, leo walitoa sadaka yao ya dhambi na sadaka ya kuteketezwa mbele za Yahweh, na jambo hili vilevile limetendeka kwangu leo. Ikiwa nimeshakula sadaka ya dhambi leo, Je! Isingekuwa imeshapendeza mbele za Yahweh?”
20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Naye Musa aliposikia hivyo, akaridhika.
