< Leviticus 6 >
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
2 If any person sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord; if he, namely, lie unto his neighbor in that which was delivered to him to keep, or in a loan, or in a thing taken away by violence, or if he have withheld the wages of his neighbor;
“Kama mtu yeyote akitenda dhambi, naye si mwaminifu kwa Bwana kwa kumdanganya jirani yake kuhusu kitu fulani alichokabidhiwa, au kimeachwa chini ya utunzaji wake, au kimeibwa, au kama akimdanganya,
3 Or if he have found something which was lost, and lie concerning it, and swear falsely; in any one of all these which a man can do, to sin thereby:
au akiokota mali iliyopotea na akadanganya, au kuapa kwa uongo, au kama akitenda dhambi yoyote ambayo watu waweza kuitenda;
4 Then shall it be, when he hath sinned and is conscious of his guilt, that he shall restore what be hath taken violently away, or the wages which he hath withheld, or that which was delivered to him to keep, or the lost thing which he hath found,
wakati akitenda dhambi hizo na kuwa mwenye hatia, ni lazima arudishe kile alichokuwa amekiiba au amekichukua kwa dhuluma, au alichokuwa amekabidhiwa, au mali iliyokuwa imepotea akaipata,
5 Or any one thing about which he may have sworn falsely; and he shall restore it in its principal, and the fifth part thereof shall he add thereto; unto him to whom it appertaineth shall he give it, on the day when he confesseth his trespass.
au chochote alichokuwa amekiapia kwa uongo. Lazima akirudishe kikamilifu, na aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, vyote ampe mwenye mali siku ile anapeleka sadaka yake ya hatia.
6 And his trespass-offering shall he bring unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flocks, of the usual value, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest:
Kisha kama adhabu lazima amletee kuhani, yaani kwa Bwana, kama sadaka yake ya hatia, kondoo dume asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani kamili kutoka kundi lake.
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven unto him, for any one thing of all that he may have done to trespass thereby.
Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mbele za Bwana, naye atasamehewa kwa kosa lolote katika mambo hayo aliyoyatenda yaliyomfanya kuwa na hatia.”
8 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt-offering: It is the burnt-offering, which shall be burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning on it.
“Mpe Aroni na wanawe agizo hili: ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa: Sadaka ya kuteketezwa itabaki kwenye moto juu ya madhabahu usiku kucha, mpaka asubuhi, nao moto lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka juu ya madhabahu.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and he shall lift up the ashes which the fire hath made by consuming the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall place them beside the altar.
Kisha kuhani atavaa mavazi yake ya kitani, pamoja na nguo za ndani za kitani mwilini wake, na aondoe majivu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo moto umeteketeza juu ya madhabahu, na kuyaweka kando ya madhabahu.
11 And he shall take off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes to without the camp, unto a clean place.
Kisha atayavua mavazi haya na kuvaa mengine, naye achukue yale majivu nje ya kambi na kuyapeleka mahali palipo safi kwa kawaida ya ibada.
12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning on it, it shall not be put out, and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay in order upon it the burnt-offering, and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offerings.
Moto ulio juu ya madhabahu lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka, kamwe usizimike. Kila asubuhi kuhani ataongeza kuni na kupanga sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya moto, na kuteketeza mafuta ya sadaka za amani juu yake.
13 A perpetual fire shall be burning upon the altar; it shall not go out.
Moto lazima uendelee kuwaka juu ya madhabahu mfululizo, kamwe usizimike.
14 And this is the law of the meat-offering: [one of] the sons of Aaron shall bring it near before the Lord, in front of the altar.
“‘Haya ndiyo masharti ya sadaka ya nafaka: Wana wa Aroni wataileta mbele za Bwana, mbele za madhabahu.
15 And he shall lift up from it his handful, of the flour of the meat-offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat-offering, and he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savor, as its memorial, unto the Lord.
Kuhani atachukua konzi ya unga laini na mafuta, pamoja na uvumba wote ulioko juu ya sadaka ya nafaka, ateketeze sehemu ya kumbukumbu juu ya madhabahu kama harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
16 And what is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: unleavened shall it be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation shall they eat it.
Aroni na wanawe watakula sehemu iliyobaki, lakini italiwa bila kutiwa chachu mahali patakatifu, nao wataila kwenye ua wa Hema la Kukutania.
17 It shall not be baked leaven; as their portion have I given it from my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin-offering, and as is the trespass-offering.
Kamwe haitaokwa na chachu; nimewapa kama fungu lao la sadaka iliyotolewa kwangu kwa moto. Ni takatifu sana, kama vile ilivyo sadaka ya dhambi na ya hatia.
18 all the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as a fixed portion for ever in your generations from the fire-offerings of the Lord: every one that toucheth the same shall be holy.
Kila mwanaume mzao wa Aroni aweza kuila. Ni fungu lake la kawaida la sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto kwa vizazi vijavyo. Chochote kinachozigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.’”
19 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Tena Bwana akamwambia Mose,
20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord on the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat-offering perpetually; half of it in the morning, and the other half of it in the evening.
“Hii ni sadaka ambayo Aroni na wanawe wanapaswa kuleta kwa Bwana siku atakapotiwa mafuta: sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini kama sadaka ya kawaida ya nafaka. Nusu yake ataitoa asubuhi na nusu nyingine jioni.
21 In a pan, with oil, shall it be made, well sodden shalt thou bring it; twice baked, a meat-offering of broken pieces, shalt thou offer it for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
Iandae kwa mafuta kwenye kikaango; ilete ikiwa imechanganywa vizuri, na utoe hiyo sadaka ya nafaka ikiwa imevunjwa vipande vipande kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
22 And the priest that shall be anointed in his stead among his sons shall offer it: it is a statute for ever, unto the Lord; it shall be wholly burnt.
Mwanawe atakayeingia mahali pake kama kuhani aliyetiwa mafuta ndiye atakayeiandaa. Ni fungu la kawaida la Bwana, nalo litateketezwa kabisa.
23 And every meat-offering of a priest shall be wholly burnt, it shall not be eaten.
Kila sadaka ya nafaka ya kuhani itateketezwa kabisa; kamwe haitaliwa.”
24 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: On the place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be killed before the Lord; it is most holy.
“Mwambie Aroni na wanawe: ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi: Sadaka ya dhambi itachinjiwa mbele za Bwana mahali sadaka ya kuteketezwa huchinjiwa, ni takatifu sana.
26 The priest who maketh atonement with its blood shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Kuhani anayeitoa ndiye atakayeikula; itakuliwa katika mahali patakatifu, katika ua wa Hema la Kukutania.
27 Whatsoever may touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and if there should be sprinkled any of its blood upon a garment, whatever it hath been sprinkled on shalt thou wash out in a holy place.
Chochote kitakachogusa nyama yoyote ya hiyo sadaka kitakuwa kitakatifu, na kama hiyo damu itadondokea juu ya vazi, lazima uifulie mahali patakatifu.
28 And any earthen vessel wherein it may have been boiled shall be broken: and if it have been boiled in a copper vessel, it shall be both scoured and rinsed with water.
Chungu cha udongo kitakachopikiwa nyama lazima kivunjwe, lakini kama imepikiwa kwenye chombo cha shaba, chombo hicho kitasuguliwa na kusuuzwa kwa maji.
29 Every male among the priests may eat thereof: it is most holy.
Kila mwanaume katika familia ya kuhani aweza kula nyama hiyo; ni takatifu sana.
30 And every sin-offering whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to make atonement therewith in the holy place, shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt in fire.
Lakini kila sadaka ya dhambi ambayo damu yake imeletwa ndani ya Hema la Kukutania kufanya upatanisho katika Mahali Patakatifu kamwe haitaliwa; lazima iteketezwe.
