Leviticus 24
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
2 "Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
“Waamru watu wa Israeli wakuletee mafuta halisi yaliyokamliwa kutokana na mizeituni ili yatumike kwenye taa, ili kwamba taa ziweze kuwaka daima na kuleta mwanga.
3 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
Nje ya pazia lililoko mbele ya sanduku la maamzi ndani ya hema la kukutania, Aroni ataiwasha daima taa mbele za Yahweh, tangu asubuhi hata jioni. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu.
4 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before Jehovah continually.
Kuhani mkuu atazifanya taa ziwake daima mbele za Yahweh, taa hizo zilizo kwenye kinara cha dhahabu safi.
5 "You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve loaves of it: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one loaf.
Yawapasa kuchukua unga laini na kuoka kwa huo mikate kumi na miwili. Ni lazima kuwe na mbili za kumi za efa za unga katika kila mkate.
6 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Jehovah.
Kisha mtaipanga juu ya meza ya dhahabu safi mbele za Yahweh katika safu mbili, mikate sita katika kila safu,
7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
Mtaweka uvumba safi kando ya kila safu ya mikata kuwa sadaka ya kuwakilisha. Uvumba huo utachomwa kwa moto kwa ajili ya Yahweh.
8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant.
Kila siku ya Sabato kuhani mkuu sharti aipange kwa utaratibu hiyo mikate mbele za Yahweh kwa niaba ya watu wa Israeli, iwe ishara ya agano la milele.
9 It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute."
Sadaka hii itakuwa kwa ajili ya Aroni na wanawe, na ni lazima waile mahali palipo patakatifu, kwa kuwa ni sehemu ya matoleo kwa Yahweh yaliyofanywa kwa moto.”
10 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
Sasa ilitokea kwamba mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli, ambaye baba yake alikuwa Mmisri, alikwenda miongoni mwa watu wa Israeli. Huyu mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akagombana na mwanume Mwisraeli kambini.
11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
Mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akalikufuru jina la Yahweh na kumlaani Mungu, kwa hiyo watu wakamleta kwa Musa. Jina la mama yake aliitwa Shelomithi, binti wa Dibri, kutoka kabila la Dani.
12 They put him in custody, until the will of Jehovah should be declared to them.
Wakamweka kizuizini mpaka Yahweh mwenyewe atakapotangaza mapenzi yake kwao.
13 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
14 "Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
“Mchukue nje ya kambi huyo aliyemlaani Mungu. Wale wote waliomskia wataweka mikono yao juu ya kichwa chake, na kisha kusanyiko lote watamponda kwa mawe.
15 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
Ni lazima uwaeleze watu wa Israeli na kusema, 'Yeyote anayemlaani Mungu wake imempasa kubeba hatia yake mwenyewe.
16 He who blasphemes the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
Yeye anayelikufuru jina la Yahweh kwa hakika ni lazima auawe. Hakika, kusanyiko lote litampiga mawe, ama awe mgeni au Mwisraeli mwenyeji mzaliwa. Ikiwa yeyote analikufuru jina la Yahweh, ni lazima auawe.
17 "'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
Naye amuuaye mtu mwingine ni lazima kwa hakika auewa.
18 He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
Yeye anayemuua mnyama wa mwingine sharti amfidie, uhai kwa uhai.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
Iwapo mtu anamjeruhi jirani yake, ni lazima atendewe vivyo hivyo alivyomtendea jirani yake:
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.
Mvunjiko kwa mvunjiko, jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino. Kama amesababisha jeraha kwa mtu, ndivyo ipasavyo kutendwa kwake.
21 He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
Yeyote auaye mnyama ni lazima amfidie, na yeyote auaye mtu ni lazima auawe.
22 You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am Jehovah your God.'"
Ni lazima mwe na sheria moja kwa wote, mgeni na Mwisraeli mwenyeji mzaliwa, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wanu.”
23 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Kwa hiyo Musa akazungumza na watu wa Israeli, nao watu wakamleta mwanaume huyo nje ya kambi, yule ambaye alikuwa amemlaani Yahweh. Wakampiga kwa mawe. Watu waisraeli wakaitekeleza amri ya Yahweh aliyoitoa kupitia Musa.
