Leviticus 16
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had come near before the Lord, and died:
Bwana akasema na Mose baada ya kifo cha wale wana wawili wa Aroni waliokufa walipokaribia mbele za Bwana.
2 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail, before the mercy-seat, which is upon the ark, that he die not; for in the cloud will I appear upon the mercy-seat.
Bwana akamwambia Mose: “Mwambie ndugu yako Aroni asije wakati wowote atakavyo yeye ndani ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, nyuma ya pazia pale mbele ya kiti cha rehema kile kilichoko juu ya Sanduku la Agano, la sivyo atakufa, kwa sababu huwa ninatokea ndani ya wingu juu ya kile kiti cha rehema.
3 With this shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.
“Hivi ndivyo Aroni atakavyoingia katika mahali patakatifu: atachukua fahali mchanga kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na kondoo dume kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
4 A holy linen coat shall be put on, and linen breeches shall he have upon his flesh, and with a linen girdle shall he gird himself, and a linen mitre shall he bind on his head; these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and then put them on.
Atavaa koti takatifu la kitani, pamoja na nguo za ndani za kitani; atafunga mshipi wa kitani kiunoni, na kuvaa kilemba cha kitani. Haya ni mavazi matakatifu, kwa hiyo ni lazima aoge kwa maji kabla ya kuyavaa mavazi hayo.
5 And from the congregation of the children of Israel shall he take two goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.
Atachukua mbuzi dume wawili kutoka kwa jumuiya ya Israeli kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na kondoo dume kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
6 And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
“Aroni atamtoa huyo fahali kwa ajili ya sadaka yake ya dhambi ili afanye upatanisho kwa ajili yake mwenyewe na nyumba yake.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and place them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Kisha atawachukua wale mbuzi dume wawili na kuwaleta mbele za Bwana kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
8 And Aaron shall put lots upon the two goats; one lot “for the Lord,” and the other lot “for 'Azazel.”
Aroni atapiga kura kwa ajili ya hao mbuzi wawili, mmoja kwa ajili ya Bwana na mwingine kwa ajili ya kubebeshwa dhambi.
9 And Aaron shall bring near the goat upon which fell the lot “for the Lord,” and offer him for a sin-offering.
Aroni atamleta yule mbuzi ambaye kura ya Bwana imemwangukia na kumtoa dhabihu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
10 But the goat on which fell the lot “for 'Azazel,” shall be placed alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, by sending him away to 'Azazel into the wilderness.
Lakini mbuzi aliyechaguliwa kwa kura kuwa wa kubebeshwa dhambi atatolewa akiwa hai mbele za Bwana, atumike kwa kufanya upatanisho kwa kumwacha aende jangwani akiwa amebebeshwa dhambi.
11 And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and he shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house; and he shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself.
“Aroni atamleta yule fahali kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi yake mwenyewe, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake na nyumba yake, naye atamchinja huyo fahali kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi yake mwenyewe.
12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and both his hands full of incense of spices, pounded fine, and bring it within the vail;
Atachukua chetezo kilichojaa makaa yanayowaka kutoka madhabahuni mbele za Bwana, na konzi mbili za uvumba laini uliosagwa vizuri wenye harufu, na kuvipeleka nyuma ya pazia.
13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire, before the Lord; that the cloud of the incense may envelop the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not.
Ataweka uvumba juu ya moto mbele za Bwana, na moshi wa uvumba utafunika kile kiti cha rehema kilicho juu ya Ushuhuda, ili asife.
14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger above toward the mercy-seat, eastward; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger.
Atachukua sehemu ya damu ya fahali, na kwa kidole chake atanyunyiza sehemu ya mbele ya kiti cha rehema; kisha atanyunyiza sehemu ya hiyo damu kwa kidole chake mara saba mbele ya kiti cha rehema.
15 And he shall kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood to within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it above the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat.
“Kisha atamchinja mbuzi wa sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya watu, na kuichukua damu yake nyuma ya pazia, na aifanyie kama alivyofanya kwa damu ya fahali: Atanyunyiza juu ya kiti cha rehema na mbele yake.
16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that abideth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
Kwa njia hii atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu kwa sababu ya unajisi na uasi wa Waisraeli, kwa dhambi zao zozote. Atafanya hivyo kwa ajili ya Hema la Kukutania, ambalo liko miongoni mwao katikati ya unajisi wao.
17 And there shall not be any man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out: and so shall he make an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for the whole congregation of Israel.
Mtu yeyote haruhusiwi kuwa ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, kuanzia wakati Aroni anapoingia kufanya upatanisho katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, hadi atakapotoka nje, baada ya kujifanyia upatanisho yeye mwenyewe na nyumba yake, pamoja na jumuiya yote ya Israeli.
18 And he shall then go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and make an atonement upon it; and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
“Kisha atatoka aje kwenye madhabahu yaliyo mbele za Bwana na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake. Atachukua sehemu ya damu ya fahali na sehemu ya damu ya mbuzi, na kuiweka kwenye pembe za madhabahu.
19 And he shall sprinkle upon it of the blood with his finger seven times; and he shall cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
Atanyunyiza baadhi ya hiyo damu juu ya madhabahu kwa kidole chake mara saba, ili kuitakasa na kuiweka wakfu kutokana na unajisi wa Waisraeli.
20 And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: then shall he bring near the live goat.
“Aroni atakapokuwa amemaliza kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, atamleta mbele yule mbuzi aliye hai.
21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and he shall send him away by the hand of a man appointed thereto into the wilderness:
Aroni ataweka mikono yake miwili juu ya kichwa cha mbuzi aliye hai na kuungama juu yake uovu wote na uasi wa Waisraeli, yaani dhambi zao zote, ili kuziweka juu ya kichwa cha huyo mbuzi. Atamwachia huyo mbuzi akimbilie jangwani kwa uangalizi wa mtu aliyepewa wajibu huo.
22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited; and so shall he send away the goat into the wilderness.
Yule mbuzi atachukua juu yake dhambi zao zote mpaka mahali pasipo na watu; naye yule mtu atamwachia akimbilie jangwani.
23 And Aaron shall then go into the tabernacle of the congregation, and he shall take off the linen garments, which he had put on when he went into the holy place, and he shall leave them there:
“Kisha Aroni ataenda ndani ya Hema la Kukutania na kuvua yale mavazi ya kitani aliyoyavaa kabla ya kuingia katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, naye atayaacha pale.
24 And he shall bathe his flesh with water in a holy place, and put on his garments; and come then forth, and offer his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
Ataoga kwa maji katika mahali patakatifu na kuvaa mavazi yake ya kawaida. Kisha atatoka na kutoa dhabihu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa ajili yake na sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa ajili ya watu, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mwenyewe, na kwa ajili ya watu.
25 And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar.
Pia atachoma mafuta ya mnyama wa sadaka ya dhambi juu ya madhabahu.
26 And he that carrieth the goat to 'Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
“Yule mtu anayemwachia yule mbuzi wa kubebeshwa dhambi ni lazima afue nguo zake na kuoga kwa maji; baadaye anaweza kuingia kambini.
27 And the bullock for the sin-offering, and the goat for the sin-offering, the blood of which was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
Yule fahali na mbuzi waliotolewa kwa ajili ya sadaka za dhambi, ambao damu yao ilikuwa imeletwa Patakatifu pa Patakatifu kwa ajili ya kufanya upatanisho, ni lazima watolewe nje ya kambi. Ngozi zao, nyama, na matumbo pamoja na mavi vitateketezwa kwa moto.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
Mtu atakayevichoma ni lazima afue nguo zake na aoge kwa maji; baadaye ataweza kuingia kambini.
29 And it shall be unto you a statute for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, ye shall afflict yourselves [by fasting], and no work shall ye do, whether it be one of your own country, or the stranger that sojourneth among you;
“Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yenu: Katika siku ya kumi ya mwezi wa saba ni lazima mfunge, wala msifanye kazi yoyote, iwe mzawa au mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu,
30 For on that day shall [the high-priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins before the Lord shall ye be clean.
kwa sababu siku hii upatanisho utafanyika kwa ajili yenu ili kuwatakasa. Kisha mtakuwa safi mbele za Bwana kutokana na dhambi zenu zote.
31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict yourselves [by fasting], as a statute for ever.
Ni Sabato ya mapumziko, na lazima mfunge; ni agizo la kudumu.
32 And the priest, who shall be anointed, and who shall be consecrated to minister as priest in his father's stead, shall make the atonement; and he shall put on the linen clothes, the holy garments.
Kuhani ambaye ametiwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu ili kuingia mahali pa baba yake kama kuhani mkuu atafanya upatanisho. Atavaa mavazi matakatifu ya kitani,
33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy of holies; and for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar shall he make an atonement; and also for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation shall he make an atonement.
na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, na pia kwa ajili ya makuhani, pamoja na jumuiya yote ya watu.
34 And this shall be unto you as a statute for everlasting, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year: and he did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
“Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yenu: Upatanisho utafanywa mara moja tu kwa mwaka kwa ajili ya dhambi zote za Waisraeli.” Ndivyo ilivyofanyika, kama vile Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
