Numbers 15
1 Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,
“Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Baada ya ninyi kuingia katika nchi ninayowapa kama nyumbani,
3 you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].
nanyi mkitoa sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa moto, kutoka makundi ya ngʼombe au kondoo, kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana, ikiwa ni sadaka za kuteketezwa au dhabihu, kwa ajili ya nadhiri maalum ama sadaka ya hiari au sadaka ya sikukuu zenu,
4 When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.
ndipo yeye aletaye sadaka yake ataiweka mbele za Bwana sadaka ya nafaka, sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga laini uliochanganywa na robo ya hini ya mafuta.
5 When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.
Pamoja na kila mwana-kondoo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa au dhabihu, andaa robo ya hini ya divai kwa sadaka ya kinywaji.
6 ‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.
“‘Pamoja na kondoo dume andaa sadaka ya nafaka ya sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na theluthi moja ya hini ya mafuta,
7 And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
na theluthi moja ya hini ya divai kama sadaka ya kinywaji. Vitoe kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
8 ‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
“‘Unapoandaa fahali mchanga kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa au dhabihu, kwa ajili ya nadhiri maalum au sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana,
9 When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters of [olive] oil.
leta pamoja na huyo fahali sadaka ya nafaka ya unga laini sehemu tatu za kumi za efa uliochanganywa na nusu ya hini ya mafuta.
10 Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
Pia utaleta nusu ya hini ya divai kama sadaka ya kinywaji. Itakuwa sadaka iliyoteketezwa kwa moto, harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
11 Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.
Kila fahali au kondoo dume, kila mwana-kondoo au mbuzi mchanga, atatayarishwa kwa njia hii.
12 You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
Fanyeni hivi kwa ajili ya kila mmoja, kwa kadiri ya wingi wa mtakavyoandaa.
13 ‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.
“‘Kila mmoja ambaye ni mzawa ni lazima afanye vitu hivi kwa njia hii hapo aletapo sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto kama harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana.
14 If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.
Kwa vizazi vijavyo, wakati wowote mgeni au mtu mwingine yeyote anayeishi miongoni mwenu aletapo sadaka ya kuteketezwa kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana, ni lazima afanye sawasawa kabisa na jinsi mnavyofanya ninyi.
15 I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.
Jumuiya itakuwa na sheria hizo hizo kwenu na kwa mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu; hii ni amri ya kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo. Ninyi na mgeni mtakuwa sawa mbele za Bwana:
16 You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
Sheria hizo hizo na masharti hayo hayo hayo, yatawahusu ninyi na mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu.’”
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
18 “Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
“Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia katika nchi ninayowapeleka
19 and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.
nanyi mkala chakula cha nchi hiyo, toeni sehemu ya chakula hicho kama sadaka kwa Bwana.
20 [Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.
Toeni andazi kutoka kwa malimbuko ya chakula chenu kitokacho katika ardhi, na mkitoe kama sadaka kutoka sakafu ya kupuria nafaka.
21 Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”
Kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo hamna budi kutoa sadaka hii kwa Bwana kutoka kwa malimbuko ya unga wenu.
22 “‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.
“‘Basi kama pasipo kukusudia umeshindwa kushika mojawapo katika amri hizi ambazo Bwana alimpa Mose,
23 There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.
amri yoyote ya Bwana kwenu kupitia Mose, tangu siku ile Bwana alipowapa na inaendelea hadi vizazi vyote vijavyo;
24 If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.
ikiwa hili limefanyika pasipo kukusudia bila jumuiya kuwa na habari nalo, basi jumuiya yote itatoa fahali mchanga kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa ikiwa harufu nzuri inayompendeza Bwana, pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka na ya kinywaji zilizoamriwa kwayo, na mbuzi dume kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
25 [By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.
Kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli, nao watasamehewa, kwa kuwa haikuwa makusudi nao wamemletea Bwana sadaka iliyoteketezwa kwa moto na sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya kosa lao.
26 You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
Jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli pamoja na wageni waishio miongoni mwao watasamehewa, kwa sababu watu wote walihusika katika kosa lile lisilokusudiwa.
27 If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.
“‘Lakini kama mtu mmoja peke yake akitenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia, ni lazima alete mbuzi mke wa mwaka mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
28 The priest will offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person will be forgiven.
Kuhani atafanya upatanisho mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya yule aliyekosa kwa kufanya dhambi pasipo kukusudia, upatanisho utakapofanywa kwa ajili yake, atasamehewa.
29 You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
Sheria hiyo moja itamhusu kila mmoja ambaye ametenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia, awe Mwisraeli mzawa ama mgeni.
30 But those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.
“‘Lakini yeyote ambaye amefanya dhambi kwa dharau awe mzawa au mgeni, anamkufuru Bwana, naye mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
31 They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”
Kwa sababu amelidharau neno la Bwana na kuvunja amri zake, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali; hatia yake inabaki juu yake.’”
32 One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.
Waisraeli walipokuwa jangwani, mtu mmoja alikutwa akikusanya kuni siku ya Sabato.
33 Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
Wale waliomkuta akikusanya kuni wakamleta kwa Mose, Aroni na kusanyiko lote,
34 They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.
nao wakamweka kifungoni, kwa sababu haikufahamika kwa wazi kwamba afanyiwe nini.
35 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at him outside the camp.”
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Huyo mtu ni lazima afe. Kusanyiko lote lazima limpige mawe nje ya kambi.”
36 So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.
Hivyo kusanyiko likamtoa nje ya kambi na kumpiga mawe hadi akafa, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
37 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
38 “Tell this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.
“Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo jifanyieni vifundo katika pindo za mavazi yenu vikiwa na uzi wa buluu kwenye kila kifundo.
39 When you look at the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.
Mtakuwa mkivitazama vifundo hivyo ili mpate kukumbuka amri zote za Bwana, ili mpate kuzitii msije mkajitia uzinzi wenyewe kwa kuzifuata tamaa za mioyo yenu na za macho yenu.
40 Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).
Ndipo mtakumbuka kuzitii amri zangu zote nanyi mtawekwa wakfu kwa Mungu wenu.
41 Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
Mimi Ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi Ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
