< 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:
Yahwe alizungumza na Musa - hii ni baada vifo vya wana wawili wa Haruni, walipomkaribia Yahwe na ndipo wakafa.
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.
Yahwe alimwambia Musa, “Ongea na Haruni kaka yako na umwambie hapana kuja tu wakati wowote katika patakatifu pa patakatifu ndani ya pazia, mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho kilicho juu ya sanduku. Akifanya hivyo, anakufa, kwasababu naonekana katika wingu juu ya kifuniko cha upatanisho.
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 jinsi Haruni lazima aje katika patakatifu pa patakatifu. Yeye lazima aingie pamoja na ndama kama sadaka ya dhambi, na kondoo dume kama sadaka ya dhambi.
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.
Ni lazima avae kanzu ya kitatani, na lazima avae ndani yake nguo ya kitani, na lazima avae mshipi wa kitani na kilemba cha kitani. Haya ni mavazi matakatifu. Lazima aoge mwili wake katika maji na avae mavazi haya.
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.
Lazima achukue kwenye umati wa watu wa Israeli mbuzi wawili waume kama sadaka ya dhambi na kondoo dume moja ikiwa ni 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.
Ndipo Haruni lazima alete ng'ombe kama sadaka ya dhambi, ambayo itakuwa kwaajili yake mwenyewe, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na familia yake.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and place them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Ndipo lazima achukue mbuzi wawili na kuwaweka mbele ya Yahwe katika mlango wa kuingilia kwenye hema ya mkutano.
8 And Aaron shall put lots upon the two goats; one lot “for the Lord,” and the other lot “for 'Azazel.”
Ndipo Haruni lazima apige kura kwaajili ya mbuzi hao wawili, kura moja kwaajili ya Yahwe, na kura nyingine kwaajili ya msingiziwa.
9 And Aaron shall bring near the goat upon which fell the lot “for the Lord,” and offer him for a sin-offering.
Ndipo Haruni lazima awasilishe mbuzi ambaye kura imeangukia kwa Yahwe, na kumtoa mbuzi huyo kama 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 ambaye kura ya usingiziwa imemwangukia lazima aletwe kwa Yahwe akiwa hai, kufanya upatanisho kwa kumwachia aende porini kama, mbuzimsingiziwa.
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.
Pia Haruni lazima alete ng'ombe kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, ambayo itakuwa kwaajili yake mwenyewe, lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na familia yake, hivyo lazima yeye amuue huyo ng'ombe kama sadaka ya dhambi kwaajili 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;
Haruni lazima achukue chetezo iliyojaa mkaa wa moto kutoka kwenye madhabahu mbele ya Yahwe, na mikono imejaa ubani mzuri, na kuleta vitu hivi ndani 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.
Hapo lazima aweke ubani juu ya moto mbele za Yahwe ili kwamba wingu kutoka kwenye ubani liweze kufunika kifuniko cha agano la imani ya upatanisho. Yeye afanye hivyo ili kwamba 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.
Ndipo lazima achukue kiasi cha damu ya ng'ombe na kuinyunyiza kwa kidole chake mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho. Lazima anyunyize kiasi cha damu kwa kidole chake mara saba mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho.
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.
Ndipo lazima aue mbuzi kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi ambayo ni kwaajili ya watu na kuileta damu yake ndani kwenye pazi. Hapo lazima aifanyie damu kama alivyofanya kwenye damu ya fahali: lazima ainyunyize juu ya kifuniko cha upatanisho na mbele ya kifunuko cha upatanisho.
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.
Yeye lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu kwa sababu ya matendo ya unajisi ya watu wa Israeli, na kwa sababu ya uasi na dhambi zao zote. Yeye pia lazima afanye haya kwaajili ya hema ya mkutano, ambapo Yahwe anaishi kati yao, katika uwepo wa matendo yao ya unajisi.
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.
Hakuna mtu anayetakiwa kuwepo katika hema ya mkutano wakati Haruni anaingia kufanya upatanisho katika mahali patakatifu pa patakatifu, na mpaka atoke nje na amemaliza kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na kwaajili ya familia yake, na kwaajili umati wa 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.
Yeye lazima aende nje kwenye madhabahu hapo mbele za Yahwe na kufanya upatanisho kwaajili ya hiyo, na lazima achukue kiasi cha damu ya mbuzi na kuiweka juu ya pembe za madhabahu yote kuzunguka.
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.
Anatakiwa anyunyize kiasi cha damu juu yake kwa kidole chake mara saba kuitakasa na kuitenga maalumu kwa Yahwe, mbali kutoka matendo ya unajisi wa watu wa Israeli.
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.
Atakapo maliza kupatanisha kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu sana, hema la mkutano, na madhabahu, lazima amlete mbuzi aliyehai.
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:
Haruni lazima aweke mikono yake yote juu ya kichwa cha mbuzi huyu aliyehai na akiri juu yake maovu yote ya watu wa Israeli, uasi wao wote, dhambi zao zote. Ndipo lazima aweke dhambi hizo juu ya kichwa cha mbuzi na amwachie katika uangalizi wa mtu aliyetari kumwongoza mbuzi huyo porini.
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.
Mbuzi lazima abebe juu yake mwenyewe uovu wote kwenda mahali pakiwa. Kule msituni, huyo mtu amwache mbuzi aende huru.
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:
Ndipo Haruni anapaswa kwenda tena humo kwenye hema ya mkutano na kuvua mavazi ya kitani ambayo amayavaa kabla hajaenda mahali patakatifu sana, na anatakiwa kuyaacha mavazi hayo 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.
Anapaswa aoshe mwili wake kwa maji mahali patakatifu, na avae nguo zake za kawaida; pia lazima atoke nje kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwaajili ya wale watu, na kwa njia hii anafanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na kwaajili ya watu.
25 And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar.
Lazima yeye achome mafuta ya 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.
Huyu mtu anayemwacha mbuzi msingiziwa aende huru anafua nguo zake na kuosha mwili wake katika maji; baada ya hayo, anaweza kurudi tena 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 kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi na mbuzi kwaajili ya sadaka za dhambi, ambaye damu yake ililetwa kufanya upatanisho katika mahali patakatifu, lazima ipelekwe nje ya kambi. kule lazima wachome, ngozi zao, nyama yao na kinyesi chao.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
Huyu anayechoma sehemu hizo lazima afue nguo zake na aoge mwili wake katika maji; baada ya hapo, anaweza kurudi tena kwenye kambi.
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;
Hii itakuwa sharti kwaajili yenu kwamba katika mwezi wa saba, kwenye siku ya kumi ya mwezi, mtanyenyekea wenyewe na msifanye kazi, iwe mwenyeji wa kuzaliwa au mgeni anayeishi kati yenu.
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.
Hii ni kwasababu katika siku hii ya upatanisho utafanywa kwaajili yenu, kuwatakasa ninyi kutoka dhambi zenu zote ili mwe safi mbele za Yahwe.
31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict yourselves [by fasting], as a statute for ever.
Hii ni maalumu kwa Sabato ya kupumzika kwaajili yenu, na lazima mnyenyekee wenyewe na msifanye kazi. Hili litakuwa sharti kati yenu.
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 mkuu, ambaye atapakwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu kuwa kuhani mkuu katika nafasi ya baba yake, lazima afanye upatanisho huu na kuvaa mavazi ya kitani, hayo ni mavazi matakatifu.
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.
Lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu sana; lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya hema ya mkutano na madhabahu, na lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya makuhani na kwaajili ya kusanyiko la 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.
Hii daima itakuwa sharti kwaajili yako, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili ya watu wa Israeli kwasababu ya dhambi zao zote, mara moja kwa kila mwaka.” Na ilikuwa ikifanika kama Yahwe alivyomwamuru Musa.
