Leviticus 12
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a male child: then shall she be unclean seven days, even as in the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Mwanamke ambaye atapata mimba na kuzaa mtoto wa kiume atakuwa najisi kwa kawaida ya ibada kwa siku saba, kama anavyokuwa najisi wakati wa siku zake za hedhi.
3 And on the eighth day shall the flesh of his foreskin be circumcised.
Mvulana atatahiriwa siku ya nane.
4 And thirty and three days shall she then continue in the blood of her purification; any thing hallowed shall she not touch, and into the sanctuary shall she not come, until the days of her purification be at an end.
Kisha ni lazima huyo mwanamke asubiri kwa siku thelathini na tatu, ndipo atakaswe kutoka damu kwake. Hataruhusiwa kugusa kitu chochote kilicho kitakatifu au kuingia mahali patakatifu, mpaka siku za kutakaswa kwake zimetimia.
5 But if she bear a female child, then shall she be unclean two weeks as in her separation; and sixty and six days shall she continue in the blood of the purification.
Kama akimzaa mtoto wa kike, mwanamke huyo atakuwa najisi kwa majuma mawili, kama wakati wake wa hedhi. Kisha atasubiri kwa siku sitini na sita, ndipo atatakaswa kutoka damu kwake.
6 And at the completion of the days of her purification, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a sheep of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest.
“‘Siku zake za utakaso kwa ajili ya mwana au binti zitakapotimia, mwanamke huyo atamletea kuhani kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania mwana-kondoo mwenye umri wa mwaka mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na kinda la njiwa au hua kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
7 And he shall bring it near before the Lord, and make an atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood: this is the law for her that hath given birth to a male or to a female.
Atavitoa mbele za Bwana ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, na kisha atakuwa safi kwa desturi ya ibada kutokana na kutokwa damu kwake. “‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya mwanamke atakayezaa mtoto wa kiume au wa kike.
8 And if her means will not suffice for a lamb, then shall she take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
Kama huyo mwanamke hana uwezo wa kumpata mwana-kondoo, ataleta hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa, moja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na mwingine kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Kwa njia hii, kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atakuwa safi.’”
