Leviticus 22
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, kusema,
2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they do not defile My holy Name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] YHWH.
“Ongea na Aroni na wanawe, waambie wajiepushe na vitu vitakatifu vya watu wa Israeli wanavyovitenga kwangu. Wasilinajisi jina langu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
3 Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man who draws near, out of all your seed, to the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] on him—indeed, that person has been cut off from before My face; I [am] YHWH.
Waambie, 'Ikiwa mmoja wa wazao wenu katika vizazi vyenu vyote anakaribia vitu vitakatiifu vile ambavyo watu wa Israeli wamevitenga kwa Yahweh, wakati akiwa najisi, sharti mtu huyo akatiliwe mbali atoke mbele zangu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
4 Any man of the seed of Aaron, and he is leprous or has discharging—he does not eat of the holy things until he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him,
Hatakuwapo yeyote wa uzao wa Aroni aliye na ungonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, au maambukizi yatirirkayo kutoka mwilini mwake, atakayekula sehemu yoyote ya dhabihu inatolewayo kwa Yahweh mpaka atakapotakasika. Yeyote agusaye kitu chochote kilichonajisi kwa njia ya kugusa maiti, au kwa kumgusa mtu yeyote aliyetokwa na shahawa,
5 or a man who comes against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness—
au yeyote agusaye mnyama atakayemtia unajisi, au mtu yeyote atakayemfanya najisi, kwa hiyo unajisi wowote unaweza kuwa—
6 the person who comes against it has even been unclean until the evening, and does not eat of the holy things, but has bathed his flesh with water,
kuhani yeyote agusaye kitu chochote kisichosafi atakuwa najisi hata jioni. Hatakula chochote cha vitu vitakatifu, isipokuwa ameuosha mwili wake katika maji.
7 and the sun has gone in, and he has been clean, and afterward he eats of the holy things, for it [is] his food;
Jua linapotua, ndipo atakuwa safi. Baada ya machweo anaweza kula kutoka katika vitu vitakatifu, kwasababu hivyo ni vyakuala vyake.
8 he does not eat a carcass or torn thing, to become unclean with it; I [am] YHWH.
Asile mzoga wowote uliookotwa au mnyama aliyeraruliwa na wanyama pori, ambaye kwake atajitia unajisi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
9 And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they defile it; I [am] YHWH sanctifying them.
Ni lazima makuhani wafuate maagizo yangu, ama sivyo watakuwa na hatia ya dhambi na wangeweza kufa kwa kunitia unajisi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh ninayewafanya wao watakatifu.
10 And no stranger eats of the holy thing; a settler [with] a priest and a hired worker does not eat of the holy thing;
Hakuna mtu kutoka nje ya familia ya kuahani, wakiwemo wageni wa kuhani au watumwa wake wa kuajiliwa, atakayeweza kula kitu chochote kilicho kitakatifu.
11 but when a priest buys a person, the purchase of his money, he eats of it, also one born in his house; they eat of his bread.
Lakini kama huyo kuhani amenunua mtumwa kwa fedha yake mwenyewe, mtumwa huyo anaweza kula kutoka katika vitu vilivyotengwa kwa Yahweh. Na watu wa familia ya kuhani na watumwa waliozaliwa nyumbani mwake, pia wanaweza kula pamoja naye kutoka katika vitu hivyo.
12 And a priest’s daughter, when she is a strange man’s, she does not eat of the raised-offering of the holy things;
Ikiwa binti wa kuhani ameolewa na mtu asiye kuhani, hataweza kula chochote cha mchango wa matoleo matakatifu.
13 but a priest’s daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and has no seed, and has turned back to the house of her father, as [in] her youth, she eats of her father’s bread; but no stranger eats of it.
Lakini ikiwa huyo binti wa kuhani ni mjane au ametalikiwa, na ikiwa hana mtoto, na anarudi kuishi knyumbani kwa baba yake kama alivyokuwa wakati wa ujana wake, anaweza kula kutoka katika chakula cha baba yake. Lakini hakuna yeyote asiye wa familia ya kikuhani anatakayeruhusiwa kula kutoka katika chakula cha kuhani.
14 And when a man eats of a holy thing through ignorance, then he has added its fifth part to it, and has given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;
Kama mtu anakula chakula kitakatifu bila ya kukijua, naye atamlipa kuahani kwa ajili ya hicho; itampasa kuongeza moja ya tano juu yake na kukirejesha kwa kuhani.
15 and they do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel—that which they lift up to YHWH,
Haiwapasi watu wa Israeli kutoheshimu vitu vitakatifu ambavyo vimeinuliwa juu na kuletwa kwa Yahweh,
16 or have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
kisha wakajisababishia wenyewe kuchukua dhambi amabyo ingewafanya kuwa na hatia ya kula chakula kitakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ndimi Yahweh awafanyaye wao watakatifu.”
17 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akasema,
18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who brings his offering near, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to YHWH for a burnt-offering—
“Sema na Aroni na wanawe, na kwa watu wa Israeli wote. Waambie, Mwisraeli yeyote, au Mgeni anayeishi katika Israeli, waletapo dhabihu—iwe ni kutimiza kiapo, au iwe ni sadaka ya hiari, au wanaleta kwa Yahweh sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto,
19 [you bring near] at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;
ikiwa wanataka ikubalike, ni lazima watowe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, kutoka kwenye kundi la ng'ombe, kondoo au mbuzi
20 nothing in which [is] blemish do you bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.
Lakini hamtatoa chochote kilicho na dosari. Sitakipokea kwa niaba yenu.
21 And when a man brings a sacrifice of peace-offerings near to YHWH, to complete a special vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it.
Yeyote atoae dhabihu ya sadaka ya ushirika kutoka katika kundi la ng'ombe au la kondoo kwa Yahweh ili kutimiza kiapo, au kama sadaka ya hiari, ili ikubalike, ni lazima isiwe na kilema. Ni lazima pasiweko na kasoro katika mnyama.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or [having] an oozing sore [[or a defect of the eye]], or itch, or scab—you do not bring these near to YHWH, and you do not make a fire-offering from them on the altar to YHWH.
Msitoe kabisa wanyama waliovipofu, waliojeruhiwa, wala walio na kilema, wenye upele, vidonda vitokavyo usaha, wala wenye vigaga. Msiwatoe hawa kuwa dhabihu ya kuteketezwa kwa moto iliyotolewa kwa Yahweh juu ya madhabahu.
23 As for an ox or sheep [that] is deformed or stunted—you make it a willing-offering, but it is not pleasing for a vow.
Unaweza kumleta makisai au mwana-kondoo mlemavu au aliyedumaa kuwa sadaka ya hiari, lakini sadaka kama hiyo kwa ajili kutimiza kiapo, haitapokelewa.
24 As for bruised, or beaten, or torn, or cut—you do not bring [it] near to YHWH; and in your land you do not do it.
Usitoe kwa Yahweh mnyama yeyote aliyetiwa jeraha, kupondwa, au kukatwa korodani zake.
25 And you do not bring the bread of your God near from the hand of a son of a stranger, from any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.”
Usifanye haya katika nchi yako. Usilete mkate wa Mungu wako kutoka mkononi mwa mgeni. Hao wanyama wenye vilema na dosari ndani yao, hawatapokelewa kabisa kwa ajili yako.
26 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yahweh akamwambia Musa na akasema,
27 “When ox, or lamb, or goat is born, and it has been under its mother [for] seven days, then from the eighth day and from now on, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to YHWH;
“Wakati ndama, mwana—kondo au mwana—mbuzi azaliwapo, sharti abaki na mama yake kwa muda wa siku saba. Ndipo kuanzia siku ya nane na kuendelea, anaweza kupokelewa kuwa dhabihu iliyofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh.
28 but an ox or sheep—you do not slaughter it and its young one in one day.
Usimchinje ng'ombe jike pamoja na ndama wake au mbuzi jike pamoja na kitoto chake kwa siku moja.
29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, you sacrifice at your pleasure;
Utoapo sadaka ya shukrani kwa Yahweh utaitoa kwa njia iliyokubalika.
30 it is eaten on that day—you do not leave of it until morning; I [am] YHWH.
Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo inayotolewa. Hutakiwi kubakiza chochote hata asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
31 And you have kept my commands and have done them; I [am] YHWH;
Kwa hiyo imewapasa kuzishika amri zangu na kuzifuata. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
32 and you do not defile My holy Name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you,
Msiliabishe jina langu takatifu. Ni lazima nitambuliwe kuwa ni mtakatifu na watu wa Israeli. Mimi ndimi Yahweh niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu,
33 who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] YHWH.”
ambaye amewaleta kutoka katika nchi ya Misri ili niwe Mungu wenu: Mimi ndimi Yahweh.”
