< Numbers 15 >
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye shall have come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
“Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Baada ya ninyi kuingia katika nchi ninayowapa kama nyumbani,
3 And ye will prepare a fire-offering unto the Lord, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or as a freewill-offering, or on your solemn feasts, to prepare a sweet savor unto the Lord, of the herds of the flocks:
nanyi mkitoa sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa moto, kutoka makundi ya ngʼombe au kondoo, kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana, ikiwa ni sadaka za kuteketezwa au dhabihu, kwa ajili ya nadhiri maalum ama sadaka ya hiari au sadaka ya sikukuu zenu,
4 Then shall he that bringeth his offering unto the Lord, bring as a meat-offering a tenth part of fine flour mingled with the fourth of a hin of oil.
ndipo yeye aletaye sadaka yake ataiweka mbele za Bwana sadaka ya nafaka, sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini uliochanganywa na robo ya hini ya mafuta.
5 And wine for a drink-offering, the fourth of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or sacrifice, for each one sheep.
Pamoja na kila mwana-kondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa au dhabihu, andaa robo ya hini ya divai kwa sadaka ya kinywaji.
6 But for a ram, shalt thou prepare as a meat-offering two tenth parts of fine flour mingled with the third of a hin of oil.
“‘Pamoja na kondoo dume andaa sadaka ya nafaka ya sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na theluthi moja ya hini ya mafuta,
7 And wine for the drink-offering, the third of a hin, shalt thou bring, for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
na theluthi moja ya hini ya divai kama sadaka ya kinywaji. Vitoe kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or a peace-offering unto the Lord:
“‘Unapoandaa fahali mchanga kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa au dhabihu, kwa ajili ya nadhiri maalum au sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana,
9 Then shall he bring with the bullock as a meat-offering, three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil.
leta pamoja na huyo fahali sadaka ya nafaka ya unga laini sehemu tatu za kumi za efa uliochanganywa na nusu ya hini ya mafuta.
10 And wine shalt thou bring for a drink-offering, half a hin, as a fire-offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
Pia utaleta nusu ya hini ya divai kama sadaka ya kinywaji. Itakuwa sadaka iliyoteketezwa kwa moto, harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
11 Thus shall it be done for each one bullock, or for each one ram, or for a lamb, be it of the sheep or of the goats.
Kila fahali au kondoo dume, kila mwana-kondoo au mbuzi mchanga, atatayarishwa kwa njia hii.
12 According to the number that ye may prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
Fanyeni hivi kwa ajili ya kila mmoja, kwa kadiri ya wingi wa mtakavyoandaa.
13 All that are born in the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering a fire-offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
“‘Kila mmoja ambaye ni mzawa ni lazima afanye vitu hivi kwa njia hii hapo aletapo sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you in your generations, and will make an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord: as ye do, so shall he do.
Kwa vizazi vijavyo, wakati wowote mgeni au mtu mwingine yeyote anayeishi miongoni mwenu aletapo sadaka ya kuteketezwa kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana, ni lazima afanye sawasawa kabisa na jinsi mnavyofanya ninyi.
15 Congregation! one statute shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth: a statute for ever in your generations; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
Jumuiya itakuwa na sheria hizo hizo kwenu na kwa mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu; hii ni amri ya kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo. Ninyi na mgeni mtakuwa sawa mbele za Bwana:
16 One law and one code shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
Sheria hizo hizo na masharti hayo hayo hayo, yatawahusu ninyi na mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu.’”
17 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you:
“Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia katika nchi ninayowapeleka
19 Then shall it be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall set aside a heave-offering unto the Lord.
nanyi mkala chakula cha nchi hiyo, toeni sehemu ya chakula hicho kama sadaka kwa Bwana.
20 As the first of your doughs shall ye set aside a cake for a heave-offering; like the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye set this aside.
Toeni andazi kutoka kwa malimbuko ya chakula chenu kitokacho katika ardhi, na mkitoe kama sadaka kutoka sakafu ya kupuria nafaka.
21 Of the first of your doughs shall ye give unto the Lord a heave-offering, in your generations.
Kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo hamna budi kutoa sadaka hii kwa Bwana kutoka kwa malimbuko ya unga wenu.
22 And if ye err, and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses,
“‘Basi kama pasipo kukusudia umeshindwa kushika mojawapo katika amri hizi ambazo Bwana alimpa Mose,
23 All that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded [the same] and thenceforward, among your generations:
amri yoyote ya Bwana kwenu kupitia Mose, tangu siku ile Bwana alipowapa na inaendelea hadi vizazi vyote vijavyo;
24 Then shall it be, if, through inadvertence of the congregation, it was committed by ignorance, that all the congregation shall prepare one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto the Lord, with his meat-offering, and his drink-offering, according to the prescribed manner, and one he-goat for a sin-offering.
ikiwa hili limefanyika pasipo kukusudia bila jumuiya kuwa na habari nalo, basi jumuiya yote itatoa fahali mchanga kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa ikiwa harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana, pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka na ya kinywaji zilizoamriwa kwayo, na mbuzi dume kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven unto them; for it is [a sin of] ignorance; and they have brought their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, for their [sin of] ignorance:
Kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli, nao watasamehewa, kwa kuwa haikuwa makusudi nao wamemletea Bwana sadaka iliyoteketezwa kwa moto na sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya kosa lao.
26 And it shall be forgiven unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them; for by all the people [was it done] in ignorance.
Jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli pamoja na wageni waishio miongoni mwao watasamehewa, kwa sababu watu wote walihusika katika kosa lile lisilokusudiwa.
27 And if any person sin through ignorance, then shall he bring a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.
“‘Lakini kama mtu mmoja peke yake akitenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia, ni lazima alete mbuzi mke wa mwaka mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the person that hath erred, in his sinning through ignorance before the Lord; to make an atonement for him, that it may be forgiven unto him.
Kuhani atafanya upatanisho mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya yule aliyekosa kwa kufanya dhambi pasipo kukusudia, upatanisho utakapofanywa kwa ajili yake, atasamehewa.
29 For the native born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them: —one law shall be for you, for him that acteth through ignorance.
Sheria hiyo moja itamhusu kila mmoja ambaye ametenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia, awe Mwisraeli mzawa ama mgeni.
30 But the person that doth aught with a high hand, be he one born in the land, or a stranger, the same dishonoreth the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
“‘Lakini yeyote ambaye amefanya dhambi kwa dharau awe mzawa au mgeni, anamkufuru Bwana, naye mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
31 Because the word of the Lord hath he despised, and his commandment hath he broken; that person shall be cut off, his iniquity is upon him.
Kwa sababu amelidharau neno la Bwana na kuvunja amri zake, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali; hatia yake inabaki juu yake.’”
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath-day.
Waisraeli walipokuwa jangwani, mtu mmoja alikutwa akikusanya kuni siku ya Sabato.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him for judgment unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
Wale waliomkuta akikusanya kuni wakamleta kwa Mose, Aroni na kusanyiko lote,
34 And they put him in ward; because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
nao wakamweka kifungoni, kwa sababu haikufahamika kwa wazi kwamba afanyiwe nini.
35 And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Huyo mtu ni lazima afe. Kusanyiko lote lazima limpige mawe nje ya kambi.”
36 And all the congregation brought him forth to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Hivyo kusanyiko likamtoa nje ya kambi na kumpiga mawe hadi akafa, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
37 And the Lord said unto Moses, as followeth,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put upon the fringe of the corner a thread of blue:
“Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo jifanyieni vifundo katika pindo za mavazi yenu vikiwa na uzi wa buluu kwenye kila kifundo.
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after [the inclination of] your own heart and [the delight of] your eyes, in pursuit of which ye have been led astray.
Mtakuwa mkivitazama vifundo hivyo ili mpate kukumbuka amri zote za Bwana, ili mpate kuzitii msije mkajitia uzinzi wenyewe kwa kuzifuata tamaa za mioyo yenu na za macho yenu.
40 In order that ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
Ndipo mtakumbuka kuzitii amri zangu zote nanyi mtawekwa wakfu kwa Mungu wenu.
41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
Mimi Ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi Ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
