< Leviticus 2 >
1 And when any person wish to offer a meat-offering unto the Lord: then shall his offering be of fine flour; and he shall pour upon it oil, and put thereon frankincense;
“‘Mtu yeyote aletapo sadaka ya nafaka kwa Bwana, sadaka yake itakuwa ya unga laini. Atamimina mafuta juu yake, aweke uvumba juu yake,
2 And he shall bring it to one of the sons of Aaron the priest; and he shall take therefrom his handful of its flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, as an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
naye atapeleka kwa makuhani wana wa Aroni. Kuhani atachukua konzi moja iliyojaa unga laini na mafuta pamoja na uvumba wote, na kuuteketeza kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu juu ya madhabahu, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
3 And what is left of the meat-offering shall belong to Aaron and to his sons: it is a most holy thing, from the fire-offerings of the Lord.
Sadaka ya nafaka iliyobaki ni ya Aroni na wanawe, ni sehemu ya sadaka iliyo takatifu sana iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat-offering baked in the oven, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened cakes mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
“‘Kama utaleta sadaka ya nafaka iliyookwa jikoni, itakuwa ya unga laini: maandazi yaliyotengenezwa bila kutiwa chachu, yaliyochanganywa na mafuta, au mikate myembamba iliyotengenezwa bila kutiwa chachu, na iliyopakwa mafuta.
5 And if thy oblation be a meat-offering baked in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened.
Iwapo sadaka yako ya nafaka imeandaliwa kwenye kikaango, itakuwa ni ya unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, bila chachu.
6 Thou shalt break it in pieces, and pour thereon oil: it is a meat-offering.
Ukande na kumimina mafuta juu yake; hii ni sadaka ya nafaka.
7 And if thy oblation be a meat-offering baked in the deep pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
Kama sadaka yako ya nafaka imepikwa kwenye sufuria, itatengenezwa kwa unga laini na mafuta.
8 And thou shalt bring the meat-offering, which shall be made of these things, unto the Lord; and the offerer shall present it unto the priest, who shall bring it near unto the altar.
Ilete hiyo sadaka ya nafaka iliyotengenezwa kwa vitu hivi kwa Bwana; mkabidhi kuhani ambaye ataipeleka madhabahuni.
9 And the priest shall take up from the meat-offering its memorial, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
Naye atatoa ile sehemu ya kumbukumbu kutoka kwenye hiyo sadaka ya nafaka na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
10 And that which is left of the meat-offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons: it is a most holy thing, from the fire-offerings of the Lord.
Sadaka ya nafaka iliyobaki ni ya Aroni na wanawe; ni sehemu ya sadaka iliyo takatifu sana ya sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
11 No meat-offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be prepared leavened; for of whatever is leaven, or of any honey, ye shall not sacrifice an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
“‘Kila sadaka ya nafaka unayoleta kwa Bwana ni lazima ifanywe bila kutiwa chachu, kwa kuwa huna ruhusa kuchoma chachu yoyote au asali katika sadaka itolewayo kwa Bwana kwa moto.
12 As an oblation of the first-fruits shall ye offer them unto the Lord: but on the altar shall they not come for a sweet savor.
Unaweza kuzileta kwa Bwana kama sadaka ya malimbuko, lakini haziwezi kutolewa juu ya madhabahu kama harufu nzuri ya kupendeza.
13 And every oblation of thy meat-offering shalt thou season with salt; and thou shalt not suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat-offering: with all thy offerings shalt thou offer salt.
Koleza sadaka zako zote za nafaka kwa chumvi. Usiache kuweka chumvi ya Agano la Mungu wako katika sadaka zako za nafaka; weka chumvi kwenye sadaka zako zote.
14 And if thou offer a meat-offering of the first-fruits unto the Lord: of ripe ears of corn dried by the fire, of pounded corn out of full ears, shalt thou offer the meat-offering of thy first-fruits.
“‘Kama ukileta malimbuko ya sadaka ya nafaka kwa Bwana, utatoa masuke yaliyopondwa ya nafaka mpya iliyookwa kwa moto.
15 And thou shalt put upon it oil, and lay thereon frankincense: it is a meat-offering.
Weka mafuta na uvumba juu yake; ni sadaka ya nafaka.
16 And the priest shall burn its memorial, from its pounded corn, and from its oil, with all its frankincense; it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
Kuhani atateketeza ile sehemu ya kumbukumbu kutoka kwenye hiyo sadaka ya nafaka iliyopondwa kwa mafuta, pamoja na uvumba wote, kama sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
