Leviticus 1
1 And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Mungu alimwita Musa na alisema naye kutoka kweye hema la kukutania, akasema,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock.
“Sema na wana wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Mwanaume yeyote miongoni mwenu akileta sadaka kwa Bwana, aleta kama matoleo katika wanyama wako, iwapo mifugo au katika kundi.”
3 If his offering shall [be] a burnt-sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
Kama matoleo yake ni ya sadaka ya kutekezwa kutoka katika kundi, atatoa dume asiyekuwa na kasoro. Atamtoa katika mlango wa kuingilia katika hema ya kukutania, ili iwe imekubaliwa mbele za Bwana.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Ataweka mikono yake kichwani pa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na ndipo itakuwa imekubaliwa badala yake kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mwenyewe.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Ndipo atapaswa kuchinja ng'ombe mbele ya Bwana. Watoto wa Aroni, makuhani wataleta damu na kuinyunyizia katika madhabahu iliyo katika mlango wa kuingilia katika hema la kukutania.
6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces,
Ndipo ataichuna sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kuikata vipande.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
Kisha wana wa Haruni kuhani wataweka moto katika madhabahu na kuweka kuni ili kuchochea moto.
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar.
Wana wa Haruni, makuhani wataweka vipande, kichwa na mafuta, watazipanga juu ya kuni zilizoko juu ya moto ulio madhabahuni.
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Lakini matumbo yake na miguu lazima ataiosha kwa maji. Kisha kuhani atateketeza kila kitu kilicho juu ya madhabahu kama sadaka ya kuteketeza. Italeta harufu nzuri sana kwangu; itakuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto kwa ajili yangu.
10 And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely], of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
Kama sadaka kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketeza kutoka kundi, kondoo au mbuzi, lazima atoe dume asiye na kasoro.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood around upon the altar:
Lazima atamchinja juu ya madhabahu iliyo katika upande wa kaskazini mbele ya Bwana. Wana wa Haruni makuhani, watanyunyiza damu kila upande wa madhabahu.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar:
Kisha ataikata katika vipande, pamoja na kichwa na mafuta yake, kuhani atavipanga juu ya kuni zilizo katika moto ulio madhabahuni,
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
lakini matumbo yake na miguu yake lazima ioshwe kwa maji. Kisha kuhani atatoa yote na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu. Ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, italeta harufu nzuri kwa ajili ya Bwana; itakuwa sadaka ya Bwana iliyotolewa kwa moto.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD shall [be] of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle doves, or of young pigeons.
Kama sadaka yake kwa Bwana itakuwa ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa ni ndege, ndipo ataleta kama sadaka yake aidha ni huwa au kinda la njiwa.
15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn [it] on the altar: and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
Kuhani ataileta madhabahuni, atamnyonga kichwa chake, na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu. Kisha damu yake itachuruzishwa juu ya pande za madhabahu.
16 And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
Kisha atakiondoa kibofu chake pamoja na uchafu wake, na kukiweka upande wa mashariki mwa madhabahu, katika sehemu ya majivu.
17 And he shall cleave it with its wings, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Kisha atapasua mabawa yake, lakini hatagawanya katika vipande viwili. Kisha Kuhani atamtekeza katika madhabahu, juu ya kuni amabazo ziko juu ya moto. Itakuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na italeta harufu nzuri sana kwa Bwana; itakuwa sadaka ya Bwana iliyotolewa kwa moto.
