< Leviticus 12 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, A woman when she gives seed, and has borne a male, then she has been unclean [for] seven days; she is unclean according to the days of separation for her sickness;
“zungumza na watu wa Israeli, uwaambie, 'endapo mwanamke anakuwa mjamzito na kujifungua mtoto wa kiume, naye atakuwa najisi kwa muda wasiku saba, ni kama tu vile anavyokuwa najisi katika siku za kipindi chake kwa mwezi.
3 and in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised;
Katika siku ya nane nyama ya govi la mtoto mvulana itatahiriwa.
4 and she abides in the blood of her cleansing [for] thirty-three days; she does not come against any holy thing, and she does not go into the sanctuary, until the fullness of the days of her cleansing.
Kisha utakaso wa mama wa kutokwa damu yake utaendelea kwa muda wa siku tatu. Haimpasi kugusa kitu chochote kilicho kitakatifu au kukaribia eneo la hema mpaka zitakapomalizika siku za kutakaswa kwake.
5 And if she bears a female, then she has been unclean [for] two weeks, as in her separation; and she abides by the blood of her cleansing [for] sixty-six days.
Lakini kama atajifungua mtoto wa kike, naye atakuwa najisi kwa mud wa majuma mawili, kama alivyo wakati wa kipindi chake. Kisha utakaso wa mama utaendelea kwa siku sitini sita.
6 And in the fullness of the days of her cleansing for son or for daughter she brings in a lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a sin-offering, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest;
Siku za kutakaswa kwake zitakapoisha, kwa ajili ya mwana au binti, atalazimika kuleta kwa kuhani mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na kinda la njiwa au huwa kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, mbele ya ingilio la hema la kukutania,
7 and he has brought it near before YHWH, and has made atonement for her, and she has been cleansed from the fountain of her blood; this [is] the law of her who is bearing, in regard to a male or to a female.
Kisha atawatoa mbele za Yahweh na kufanya sadaka ya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atatakaswa kutokana kutiririka kwa damu yake. Hii ndiyo sheria kuhusu mwanamke aifunguaye ama mtoto wa kiume au wa kike.
8 And if her hand does not find the sufficiency of a sheep, then she has taken two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt-offering and one for a sin-offering, and the priest has made atonement for her, and she has been cleansed.”
Na kama hana uwezo wa kutoa mwana-kondoo, naye ataleta makinda mawili ya njiwa ua hua, mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na mwingine kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake; naye atakuwa safi.”
