Leviticus 17
1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
2 Speak to Aaron and to sons his and to all [the] people of Israel and you will say to them this [is] the thing which he has commanded Yahweh saying.
“Zungumza na Aroni na wanawe, na watu wote wa Israeli. Waambie mambo ambayo ameamru Yahweh:
3 A person a person from [the] house of Israel who he will cut [the] throat of an ox or a young ram or a goat in the camp or who he will cut [the] throat of [it] from [the] outside of the camp.
Mtu yeyote wa Isreli anayeua fahali au mwana—kondoo au mbuzi kambini, au amuuaye nje ya kambi, ili kumtoa dhabihu—
4 And to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting not he has brought it to present a present to Yahweh before [the] dwelling place of Yahweh blood it will be reckoned to the person that blood he has shed and he will be cut off the person that from among people his.
kama hamleti katika ingilio la hema la kukutania ili kumtoa dhabihu kwa Yahweh mbele za hema lake la kukutania, mtu huyo ana hatia ya damu iliyomwagika. Amemwaga damu, na mtu huyo ni sharti akatiliwe mabali kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake.
5 So that that they may bring [the] people of Israel sacrifices their which they [are] sacrificing on [the] face of the field and they will bring them to Yahweh to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting to the priest and they will sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh them.
Kusudi la amri hii ni kwamba watu wa Israeli wataleta dhabihu zao kwa Yahweh kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania, watazileta kwa kuhani ziweze kutolewa kuwa matoleo ya shukrani kwa Yahweh, badala ya kutoa dhabihu hadharani katika shamba.
6 And he will sprinkle the priest the blood on [the] altar of Yahweh [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting and he will make smoke the fat to an odor of soothing to Yahweh.
Kuhani atainyunyiza damu juu ya madhabahu ya Yahweh kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania; atayachoma mafuta yake ili kutoa harufu ya kupendeza mbele za Yahweh.
7 And not they will sacrifice again sacrifices their to the goat idols which they [are] prostituting themselves after them a statute of perpetuity it will be this for them to generations their.
Ni lazima watu wasitoe tena dhabihu zao kwa sanamu za mbuzi, ambazo kwazo hutenda kama makahaba. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yao katika vizazi vya watu wao vyote.
8 And to them you will say a person a person from [the] house of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who he will sojourn in midst of them who he will offer up a burnt offering or a sacrifice.
Ni lazima uwaambie, 'Mtu yeyote wa Israeli, au Mgeni yeyote aishiye miongoni mwao, atoweye dhabihu
9 And to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting not he will bring it to offer it to Yahweh and he will be cut off the person that from kinspeople his.
na asiilete kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania ili kuitoa kwa Yahweh, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali kutoka kwa watu wake.'
10 And a person a person from [the] house of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who sojourns in midst of them who he will eat any blood and I will set face my on the person who eats blood and I will cut off it from among people its.
Na Mtu yeyote wa Israeli, au yeyote wa Wageni anayeishi miongoni mwao, ambaye hunywa damu; nitamkatilia mbali atoke miongoni mwa watu wake.
11 For [the] life of the flesh [is] in the blood it and I I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement on selves your for [is] the blood it [which] by the life it makes atonement.
Kwa kuwa uhai wa mnyama yeyote umo katika damu yake. Nimeitoa damu yake kwenu kufanya upatanisho juu ya madhabahu kwa ajili ya uhai wenu, kwa sababu ni damu ndiyo ifanyayo upatanisho, kwa kuwa ni damu ipatanishayo kwa ajili ya uhai
12 There-fore I have said to [the] people of Israel any person from you not it will eat blood and the sojourner who sojourns in midst of you not he will eat blood.
Kwa hiyo Niliwaambia Watu wa Israeli kwamba hayupo miongoni mwenu impasaye kula damu, wala yeyote wa Wageni aishiye miongoni mwenu atakaye kula damu.
13 And a person a person from [the] people of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who sojourns in midst of them who he will hunt hunted game of an animal or a bird which it will be eaten and he will pour out blood its and he will cover it with dust.
Na yeyote miongoni mwa watu wa Israeli, au yeyote wa Wageni aishiye miongoni mwenu ni lazima aimwage damu ya mnyama na kuifukia hiyo damu kwa mafumbi.
14 For [the] life of all flesh blood its [is] life its it and I have said to [the] people of Israel [the] blood of any flesh not you must eat for [the] life of all flesh [is] blood its it all [those who] eat it he will be cut off.
Kwa kuwa uhai wa kila kiumbe umo katika damu yake. Ni kwa sababu hii niliwaambia watu wa Israeli, ni lazima msile damu ya kiumbe cho chote, kwa kuwa maisha ya kila kiumbe chenye uhai ni damu yake. Yeyeote ailaye ni lazima akatiliwe mbali.
15 And every person who it will eat a carcass and a torn animal among the native-born and among the sojourner and he will wash garments his and he will wash with water and he will be unclean until the evening and he will be pure.
Mtu yeyote alaye mnyama aliyekufa au ambaye amelaruliwa na wanyama pori, ama yule mtu ni mwenyeji wa kuzaliwa au ni mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu, ni lazima atazifua nguo zake na kujiosha katika maji, naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni. Kisha atakuwa safi.
16 And if not he will wash and body his not he will wash and he will bear iniquity his.
Lakini kama hazifui nguo zake au kuosha mwili wake, ni lazima aichukue hatia yake”.
