< Numbers 6 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man or woman does extraordinarily by vowing a vow of a Nazarite, to be separate to YHWH,
“Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke anataka kuweka nadhiri maalum, nadhiri ya kutengwa kwa ajili ya Bwana kama Mnadhiri,
3 he keeps separate from wine and strong drink; he does not drink vinegar of wine and vinegar of strong drink, and he does not drink any juice of grapes, and he does not eat moist or dry grapes;
ni lazima ajitenge na mvinyo na kinywaji kingine chochote chenye chachu, na kamwe asinywe siki itokanayo na mvinyo au itokanayo na kinywaji kingine chenye chachu. Kamwe asinywe maji ya zabibu wala kula zabibu mbichi au kavu.
4 all [the] days of his separation he does not eat of anything which is made of the wine-vine, from kernels even to husk.
Kwa muda wote atakaokuwa Mnadhiri, kamwe hatakula chochote kitokanacho na mzabibu, sio mbegu wala maganda.
5 All [the] days of the vow of his separation a razor does not pass over his head; he is holy until the fullness of the days [in] which he separates himself to YHWH; the upper part of the hair of his head has grown up.
“‘Kwa muda wote wa nadhiri yake ya kujitenga kwa ajili ya Bwana, wembe hautapita kichwani mwake. Ni lazima awe mtakatifu mpaka kipindi cha kujitenga kwake kwa ajili ya Bwana kiishe; ni lazima aache nywele za kichwa chake zirefuke.
6 All [the] days of his keeping separate to YHWH, he does not go near a dead person;
Kwa kipindi chochote cha kujitenga kwa ajili ya Bwana hatakaribia maiti.
7 for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister—he does not become unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God [is] on his head;
Hata kama baba yake mwenyewe au mama au kaka au dada akifa, hatajinajisi mwenyewe kwa taratibu za ibada kwa ajili yao, kwa sababu ishara ya kujiweka wakfu kwake kwa Mungu ipo katika kichwa chake.
8 all [the] days of his separation he [is] holy to YHWH.
Kwa kipindi chote cha kujitenga kwake yeye ni wakfu kwa Bwana.
9 And when the dead dies beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he has defiled the head of his separation, then he has shaved his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shaves it,
“‘Kama mtu yeyote akifa ghafula karibu naye, atakuwa ametiwa unajisi nywele zake alizoziweka wakfu, hivyo ni lazima anyoe nywele zake siku ya utakaso wake, yaani siku ya saba.
10 and on the eighth day he brings in two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
Kisha siku ya nane ni lazima alete hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwa kuhani katika mlango wa Hema la Kukutania.
11 and the priest has prepared one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering, and has made atonement for him because of that which he has sinned by the body, and he has hallowed his head on that day;
Kuhani atatoa mmoja kama sadaka ya dhambi, na mwingine kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa sababu ametenda dhambi kwa kuwepo mbele ya maiti. Siku iyo hiyo atakiweka wakfu kichwa chake.
12 and he has separated to YHWH the days of his separation, and he has brought in a lamb, a son of a year, for a guilt-offering, and the former days are fallen, for his separation has been defiled.
Ni lazima ajitoe kabisa kwa Bwana kwa kipindi cha kujitenga kwake, na ni lazima atoe mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja kama sadaka ya hatia. Siku zilizopita hazitahesabiwa kwa sababu alijitia unajisi katika siku zake za kujitenga.
13 And this [is] the law of the Nazarite: in the day of the fullness of the days of his separation, he is brought to the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
“‘Basi hii ndiyo sheria kwa ajili ya Mnadhiri baada ya kipindi chake cha kujitenga kupita. Ataletwa kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
14 and he has brought his offering near to YHWH—one male lamb, a son of a year, a perfect one, for a burnt-offering, and one female lamb, a daughter of a year, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and one ram, a perfect one, for peace-offerings,
Hapo atatoa sadaka zake kwa Bwana: yaani, mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiye na waa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, kondoo mke wa mwaka mmoja asiye na waa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, kondoo dume asiye na waa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya amani,
15 and a basket of unleavened things of flour, cakes mixed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened things anointed with oil, and their present, and their drink-offerings.
pamoja na sadaka zake za nafaka na za vinywaji, na kikapu cha mikate isiyotiwa chachu, yaani maandazi yaliyotengenezwa kwa unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, na mikate myembamba iliyopakwa mafuta.
16 And the priest has brought [them] near before YHWH, and has made his sin-offering and his burnt-offering;
“‘Kuhani atavileta vitu hivyo mbele za Bwana na kufanya sadaka ya dhambi na sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
17 and he makes the ram [as] a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, besides the basket of unleavened things; and the priest has made its present and its drink-offering.
Ataleta pia kikapu cha mikate isiyotiwa chachu, na atatoa dhabihu kondoo dume kama sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana, pamoja na sadaka yake ya nafaka na sadaka ya kinywaji.
18 And the Nazarite has shaved (at the opening of the Tent of Meeting) the head of his separation, and has taken the hair of the head of his separation, and has put [it] on the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.
“‘Kisha kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania, Mnadhiri ni lazima anyoe nywele zake ambazo alikuwa ameziweka wakfu. Atazichukua hizo nywele na kuziweka ndani ya moto ulio chini ya dhabihu ya sadaka ya amani.
19 And the priest has taken the boiled shoulder from the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one thin unleavened cake, and has put [them] on the palms of the Nazarite after his shaving [the hair of] his separation;
“‘Baada ya Mnadhiri kunyoa hizo nywele zake za kujitenga kwake, kuhani atampa mikononi mwake bega la kondoo dume lililochemshwa, na pia andazi na mkate mwembamba kutoka kwenye kikapu, vyote vikiwa vimetengenezwa bila kuwekwa chachu.
20 and the priest has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH; it [is] holy to the priest, besides the breast of the wave-offering, and besides the leg of the raised-offering; and afterward the Nazarite drinks wine.
Kisha kuhani ataviinua mbele za Bwana kama sadaka ya kuinua; ni vitakatifu na ni mali ya kuhani, pamoja na kile kidari kilichoinuliwa na lile paja lililotolewa. Baada ya hayo, Mnadhiri anaweza kunywa divai.
21 This [is] the law of the Nazarite who vows his offering to YHWH for his separation, apart from that which his hand attains; according to his vow which he vows so he does by the law of his separation.”
“‘Hii ndiyo sheria ya Mnadhiri ambaye anaweka nadhiri kwa matoleo yake kwa Bwana kufuatana na kujitenga kwake, zaidi ya chochote kile anachoweza kupata. Ni lazima atimize nadhiri aliyoiweka kufuatana na sheria ya Mnadhiri.’”
22 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
23 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, Thus you bless the sons of Israel, saying to them:
“Mwambie Aroni na wanawe, ‘Hivi ndivyo mtakavyowabariki Waisraeli. Waambieni:
24 YHWH bless you and keep you;
“‘“Bwana akubariki na kukulinda;
25 YHWH cause His face to shine on you, And favor you;
Bwana akuangazie nuru ya uso wake na kukufadhili;
26 YHWH lift up His countenance on you, And appoint for you—peace.
Bwana akugeuzie uso wake na kukupa amani.”’
27 And they have put My Name on the sons of Israel, and I bless them.”
“Hivyo wataliweka Jina langu juu ya Waisraeli, nami nitawabariki.”
