Leviticus 5
1 [Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.
“‘Ikiwa mtu atakuwa ametenda dhambi kwa sababu hakusema alipotakiwa kutoa ushahidi hadharani kuhusu jambo aliloona au kujua habari zake, yeye anastahili adhabu.
2 If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
“‘Au kama mtu akigusa kitu chochote ambacho ni najisi, iwe ni mizoga ya wanyama pori walio najisi, au ya wanyama wafugwao walio najisi, au ya viumbe vitambaavyo ardhini, hata akiwa hana habari, amekuwa najisi na mwenye hatia.
3 If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
“‘Au kama akigusa kitu kilicho kichafu kinachotokana na binadamu, kitu chochote kile kinachoweza kumfanya awe najisi, hata akiwa hana habari, atakapofahamu atakuwa na hatia.
4 If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
“‘Au kama mtu ameapa kufanya kitu chochote bila kufikiri, kiwe chema au kibaya, kwa vyovyote mtu aweza kuapa bila kujali, hata akiwa hana habari, atakapofahamu atakuwa na hatia.
5 If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.
“‘Wakati mtu yeyote atakapokuwa na hatia katika mojawapo ya haya, lazima akiri ni kwa njia gani ametenda dhambi,
6 And for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your sin.
na kama adhabu ya dhambi aliyoitenda, lazima alete kwa Bwana kondoo jike au mbuzi jike kutoka kwenye kundi lake kama sadaka ya dhambi; naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi yake.
7 If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
“‘Lakini huyo mtu kama hataweza kumtoa mwana-kondoo, ataleta hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwa Bwana kuwa adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi yake, mmoja wa hao ndege kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na wa pili kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
8 You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.
Atawaleta kwa kuhani, ambaye atamtoa kwanza ndege mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Atamvunja shingo na kuacha kichwa chake kikiningʼinia,
9 Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your sin.
naye atanyunyiza sehemu ya hiyo damu ya sadaka ya dhambi kwenye pembe za madhabahu. Damu iliyobaki lazima ichuruzwe chini ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
10 The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.
Kisha kuhani atamtoa yule ndege wa pili kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa kufuata utaratibu uliowekwa, na hivyo kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi aliyoitenda, naye atasamehewa.
11 However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.
“‘Ikiwa basi, hawezi kupata hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa, ataleta sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi. Kamwe asiweke mafuta wala uvumba juu yake, kwa sababu ni sadaka ya dhambi.
12 You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.
Atauleta unga kwa kuhani, ambaye atachukua konzi moja kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu na atauteketeza kwenye madhabahu juu ya sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
13 And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”
Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa dhambi yoyote ya hizo alizotenda, naye atasamehewa. Sadaka iliyobaki itakuwa ya kuhani, kama ilivyokuwa ile sadaka ya nafaka.’”
14 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Bwana akamwambia Mose:
15 “When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.
“Mtu anapokiuka na kutenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia kuhusu mojawapo ya mambo matakatifu ya Bwana, huyo mtu ataleta kwa Bwana kama adhabu kondoo dume mmoja kutoka kundi lake, asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani halisi kifedha, kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu. Hii ni sadaka ya hatia.
16 But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.
Ni lazima alipe kwa yale aliyoshindwa kufanya kuhusu vitu vitakatifu, kwa kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani ile na kuitoa yote kwa kuhani, ambaye atamfanyia upatanisho kwa huyo kondoo dume kama sadaka ya dhambi, naye atasamehewa.
17 If you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].
“Kama mtu akifanya dhambi na kufanya yale yaliyokatazwa katika mojawapo ya amri za Bwana, hata ikiwa hajui, yeye ana hatia na anastahili adhabu.
18 [When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.
Atamletea kuhani kama sadaka ya hatia kondoo dume kutoka kundi lake, kondoo asiye na dosari na mwenye thamani halisi kifedha. Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa kosa alilotenda bila kukusudia, naye atasamehewa.
19 It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
Hii ni sadaka ya hatia; amekuwa na hatia kwa kufanya kosa dhidi ya Bwana.”
