Numbers 15
1 Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,
“Sema na wana wa Israeli uwaambie, 'Mtakapoingia katka nchi ambayo mtaishi, ambayo BWANA atawapa,
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].
mtatakiwa kuandaa sadaka kwa moto kwa BWANA, sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya kukamilisha kiapo au sadaka ya hiari, au sadaka katika sikukuu zenu, ili kutoa harufu nzuri kwa BWANA ya ng'ombe au ya kondoo.
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.
Utamtolea BWANA sadaka ya kuteketezwa pamoja na sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya sadaka ya unga mwembamba 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.
Na tena mtatoa pamoja na sadaka ya kuteketezwa, au kwa sadaka ya divai robo ya hini ya sadaka ya vinywaji kwa kila mwanakondoo.
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.
Kama unatoa sadaka ya kondoo dume, utaandaa sadaka ya unga ya sehemu za kumi mbili za efa ya unga mwembamba uliochanganywa na sehemu ya tatu ya hini ya divai.
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.
Kwa sadaka ya kinywaji, mtatoa sehemu ya tatu ya hini ya divai ambayo itatoa harufu nzuri kwa 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.
Utakapoandaa fahari kwa ajiliy a sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya kutimiza kiapo, 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.
Ndipo utakapotoa sadaka ya fahari pamoja na sadaka ya unga ya sehemu za kumi tatu za unga mwembamba 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.
Mtatoa sadaka ya kinywaji nusu ya hini ya divai, sadaka iloyotengenezwa kwa moto ili kufanya harufu nzuri kwa 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.
Itafanyika hivi kwa kila fahari, kwa kila kondoo dume, na kila mwanakondoo dume au mbuzi mchanga.
12 You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
Kila sdaka utakayoindaa na kuitoa itafanyika kama ilivyoanishwa hapa.
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.
Wazawa wote wa Israeli watafanya mambo haya kwa utaratibu huu, yeyote atakayeleta sadaka iliyotengenezwa kwa moto, ili kufanya harufu nzuri kwa 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.
Na kama kuna mgeni anayeishi kati yenu, au yeyote atakayeishi na watu wa vizazi vyenu vyote, lazima atengeneze sadaka iliytoengenezwa kwa moto, ili kutoa harufu nzuri kwa BWANA. Atafanya kama mnavyofanya.
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.
Kutakuwa na sheria hiyo hiyo kwa watu wote na kwa mgeni anayeishi kati yenu, sheria ya kudumu kwa watu wote wa uzao wako. Ninyi mlivyo, ndivyo atakavyokuwa mgeni aliyeishi kati yenu. Atafanya kama mnavyofanya mbele ya BWANA.
16 You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
Sheria na amri hiyohiyo ndiyo itakayotumika kwa mgeni anayeishi kati yenu.”
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Tena BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,
18 “Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
“Nena wana wa Israeli uwaambie, 'mtakapofika 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.
mtakapokula chakula kinachozalishwa katika nchi hiyo, mtatoa sadaka ya kunipendeza mimi.
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.
Kutoka kwenye mikate yenu ya kwanza mtatoa mkate wa kuinuliwa kama sadaka iliyoinuliwa kutoka mahali pa kupuria nafaka. Mtaiinua kwa jinsi hii.
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.’”
Watu wa uzao wako wote wtanitolea sadaka ya kuinuliwa kutoka kwenye unga wenu wa kwanza.
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.
Wakati mwingine mtafanya dhambi pasipo kukusudia, Kama hamtatii amri zote hizi ambazo nimemwambia Musa
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.
-kila kitu ambacho nimewaamuru kupitia Musa kuanzia siku ambayo nilianza kuwaamuru na kuendelea kwa watu wote wa uzao wako.
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.
Kwa swala la dhambi isiyokusudiwa ambayo watu wote hawaijui, basi watu wote watatoa fahari mchanga sadaka ya kuteketezwa ili kufanya harufu nzuri kwa BWANA. Pamoja na haya yote, lazima itengenezwe sadaka ya unga na sadaka ya kinywaji, kama ilivyoagaizwa katika amri, na beberu mmoja kuwa 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 sadaka upatanisho kwa watu wote wa Israeli. Watasemehewa kwa sababu dhambi haikukusudiwa. Wametoa sadaka yao, sadaka iliyotengenezwa kwa moto kwa ajili yangu. Wameleta sadaka yao kwangu iliyotengenezwa kwa moto. Wameleta sadaka yao ya uovu mbele yangu kwa ajili ya kosa lao.
26 You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
Ndipo watu wote wa Israeli watasamehewa, pia wageni wote wanaoishi kati yao, kwa sababu watu wote walitenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia.
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.
Kama mtu atatenda dhambi bila kukusudia, atatoa mbuzi jike wa umri wa mwaka mmoja kuwa 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.
Naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa BWANA kwa ajili ya mtu yule aliyefanya dhambi pasipo kukusudia. Yule mtu atasamehewa baada ya upatanisho kufanyika.
29 You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
Mtakuwa na sheria hiyohiyo kwa mtu yeyote anayefanya dhambi hiyo pasipo kukusudia, sheria hiyohiyo hata kwa mzawa wa Isreli na kwa wageni wanaoishi kati yao.
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 mtu afanyaye chochote kwa KUkusudia, awe mzawa au mgeni, ananikufuru mimi. Huyo mtu ataondolewa kati ya 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 atakuwa amedharau neno langu na amevunja neno amri yangu, mtu huyo ataondolewa kabisa. Dhambi yake itakuwa 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.
Wakati wana wa Israeli walipokuwa katika jangwa, wakamuona mwanamume akikusanya kuni sikiu ya Sabato.
33 Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
Wale waliomwona wakamleta kwa Musa, Haruni na kwa watu wote.
34 They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.
Wakamweka kifungoni kwa sababu ilikuwa haijaamuliwa atakachotendewa.
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.”
Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, “Yule mwanamume lazima auawe. Watu wote lazima wampige kwa 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.
Kwa hiyo watu wote wakamtoa nje ya kambi nao wakampiga kwa mawe mpaka akafa kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa.
37 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
BWANA akanena na Musa tena, akasema,
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.
“Waambie wana wa Israeli na uwaamuru wajifanyie vishada wavining'inize katika mapindo ya mavazi yao, wavining'ineze katika ncha zote kwa nyuzi za rangi ya samawi. Watu wote watafanya hivi kwa watu wote wa kizazi chote.
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.
Huu utakuwa ukumbusho maalumu kwenu, kila mtakapovitazama, mtakumbuka amri zangu, na kuzishika ili kwamba msije mkatangatanga katika mioyo na macho yenu na kuwa waasherati wa hayo.
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).
Fanyeni hivi ili kwamba mweze kukumbuka na kutii amri zangu zote, na ili kwamba mpate kuwa watakatifu, waliotunzwa kwa ajili yangu, 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 niliyekutoa toka nchi ya Misri, ili niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi BWANA Mungu wenu.”
