Numbers 6
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa. Akamwabia,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman pronounce an especial vow, the vow of a Nazarite, to be abstinent in honor of the Lord:
'Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, 'Kama mume au mke ataweka nadhiri kwa BWANA kwa kiapo maalumu cha mnadhiri, ndipo atajiepusha na divai na vileo. hatakunywa siki itokanayo na divai.
3 Then shall he abstain from wine and strong drink, vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink shall he not drink, and any infusion of grapes shall he not drink, and grapes, fresh or dried, shall he not eat.
Asinywe kileo kitokanacho na siki au kilevi. Asinywe maji ya divai yeyote au kula zabibu mbichi wala zilizokauka.
4 All the days of his abstinence shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.
Katika siku zote ambazo amejitenga kwa ajili yangu, asile chochote kinachotokana na zabibu, wala kitu chochote kitokanacho na makokwa hadi maganda.
5 All the days of the vow of his abstinence no razor shall pass over his head: until the days be completed, in which he abstaineth in honor of the Lord, shall he be holy, letting grow untouched the hair of his head.
Wakati wote wa nadhiri yake, wembe usiipite kichwani mwake mpaka siku zake za nadhiri kwa BWANA zitimilike. Lazima ajitenge kwa BWANA. Ataziacha nywele zake zikue kichwani mwake.
6 All the days of his abstinence in honor of the Lord shall he not come near any dead body.
Wakati wote wa kujidhiri kwake kwa BWANA, asiikaribie maiti.
7 On his father, or on his mother, on his brother, or on his sister, shall he not make himself unclean, when they die; because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
Asijinajisi kwa namna yeyote hata kama atakufa baba yake, mama, dada, au ndugu yake. Hii ni kwa sababu amejitenga kwa ajili ya Mungu, kama ambavyo kila mmoja anavyoweza kumuona kwa uerfu wa nywele zake.
8 All the days of his abstinence is he holy unto the Lord.
Wakati wote wa kujidhiri kwake atakuwa mtakatifu, alijitunza kwa ajili ya BWANA.
9 And if some one die very suddenly by him, and he thus defile his consecrated head: then shall he shave his head on the day of his being cleansed, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
Ikitokea mtu amekufa ghafla pembeni yake na kukitia unajisi kichwa chake kitakatifu, ndipo atakaponyoa kichwa chake katika siku ya kujitakasa —Siku ya saba atanyoa kichwa chake.
10 And on the eighth day shall he bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Siku ya nane atamletea kuhani njiwa wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
11 And the priest shall prepare the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, because he hath sinned through the dead; and he shall hallow his head on that same day.
Naye kuhani atamtoa ndege mmoja kama sadaka ya dhambi na mwingine kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Hawa watafanyika sadaka ya upatanisho kwake kwa sababu atakuwa ametenda dhambi ya kuwa karibu na mfu. Atatakasika kichwa chake siku hiyo.
12 And he shall consecrate unto the Lord [again] the days of his abstinence, and he shall bring a sheep of the first year for a trespass-offering; but the prior days shall not be counted, because his consecration hath been defiled.
Atajitenga kwa BWANA tena katika siku hizo za utakaso. Ataleta kondoo mume mwenye umri wa mwaka mmoja kama sadaka ya hatia. Zile siku zake kabla ya kunajisika hazitahesabiwa, kwa sababu kujiweka wakfu kwake kulinajisika.
13 And this is the law of the Nazarite: On the day when the days of his abstinence are completed, shall he present himself at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;
Hii ndiyo sheria ya mnadhiri wakati wa muda wa kujidhiri unapokuwa umetimia. Ataletwa kwenye mlango wa hema ya kukutania.
14 And he shall bring his offering unto the Lord, one male sheep of the first year without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe of the first year without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering,
Ataleta sadaka yake kwa BWANA. Atatoa mwanakondoo mume wa mwaka mmoja asiye na hila kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Ataleta kondoo mke wa mwaka mmoja asiye na hila kama sadaka ya dhambi. Ataleta kondoo mume asiye na hila kama sadaka ya amani.
15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; and their meat-offering, and their drink-offerings.
Ataleta kikapu cha mikate iliyotengenezwa bila amira, mikate ya unga mwembamba iliyokandwa kwa mafuta, mikate ya kaki isiyo na amira iliyopakwa mafuta, pamoja na sadaka za unga na sadaka za vinywaji.
16 And the priest shall bring them near before the Lord, and he shall prepare his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:
Kuhani atawaleta mbele za BWANA. Atazitoa hizo sadaka zake za dhambi na kuteketezwa.
17 And the ram shall he prepare for a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread; and the priest shall prepare his meat-offering and his drink-offering.
Na kikapu cha mikate isiyowekwa amira, atamtoa yule kondoo mume kama sadaka ya amani kwa BWANA. Pia kuhani atatoa hiyo sadaka ya unga na sadaka ya vinywaji.
18 And the Nazarite shall shave at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation his consecrated head; and he shall take the hair of his consecrated head, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering.
Mnadhiri atanyoa nywele zake kama ishara ya kujitenga kwa ajili ya Mungu kwenye mlango wa hema ya kukutania. Atazitoa nywele zake kichwani kwake na kuzichoma kwa moto ulio chini ya sadaka ya amani.
19 And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram when it is cooked, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and he shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after he hath shaved his consecrated [head].
Kuhani atachukua bega la kondoo mume lililotokoswa, na mkate usiotiwa amira toka kikapuni, na mkate mmoja wa kaki usiotiwa amira. Atauweka kwenye mikono ya Mnadhiri baada ya kuwa amenyoa nywele kwa ishara ya kujidhiri.
20 And the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord; it is a holy gift for the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the shoulder that was lifted up: and after that may the Nazarite drink wine.
Kisha kuhani atavitikisa kuwa sadaka kwa BWANA, sehemu takatifu kwa kuhani, pamoja na kidari cha kutikiswa na paja lililotolewa kwa kwa kuhani. Baadaye, Mnadhiri anaweza kunywa divai.
21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed; his offering unto the Lord for his abstinence, besides that which he may be able to give: according to his vow which he may vow, so must he do in addition to what is required by the law of his abstinence.
Hii ndiyo sheri ya Mnadhiri anayeapia sadaka yake kwa BWANA kwa ajili ya kujidhiri kwake. Chochote atakachotoa, lazima afanye kama alivyoapa, kuilinda ahadi yake kama ilivyoaniswa katika sheria ya Mnadhiri.
22 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, Thus shall ye bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
“nena na Harunu na wanawe. Uwaambie, 'mtawabariki wana wa Israeli kwa njia hii. Mtawaambia,
24 The Lord bless thee, and preserve thee;
BWANA na awabariki na kuwatunza.
25 The Lord make his face shine unto thee, and be gracious to thee;
BWANA na awaangazie nuru ya uso wake na awe mwenye neema kwenu.
26 The Lord lift up his countenance unto thee, and give thee peace.
BWANA na awatazame kwa neema na awape amani.'”
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel: and I will bless them.
Ni kwa jinsi hii kwamba wanaweza kuwapa jina langu wana wa Israeli.”
