< Leviticus 10 >
1 Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.
Nadabu na Abihu, wana wa Aroni, wakachukua vyetezo vyao, wakaweka moto ndani yake na kuongeza uvumba; kisha wakamtolea Bwana moto usio halali, kinyume na agizo la Mungu.
2 Fire came out from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.
Hivyo moto ukaja kutoka kwa uwepo wa Bwana na kuwaramba, nao wakafa mbele za Bwana.
3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.
Kisha Mose akamwambia Aroni, “Hili ndilo alilonena Bwana wakati aliposema: “‘Miongoni mwa wale watakaonikaribia nitajionyesha kuwa mtakatifu; machoni pa watu wote nitaheshimiwa.’” Aroni akanyamaza.
4 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”
Mose akawaita Mishaeli na Elisafani, wana wa Uzieli mjomba wake Aroni, akawaambia, “Njooni hapa. Ondoeni miili ya binamu zenu mbele ya mahali patakatifu, mkaipeleke nje ya kambi.”
5 So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.
Hivyo wakaja na kuwaondoa, wakiwa bado wamevalia makoti yao ya ibada, wakawapeleka nje ya kambi, kama Mose alivyoamuru.
6 Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.
Ndipo Mose akamwambia Aroni pamoja na wanawe, Eleazari na Ithamari, “Msifunue vichwa vyenu wala msirarue mavazi yenu, la sivyo mtakufa na Bwana ataikasirikia jumuiya nzima. Lakini ndugu zenu, nyumba yote ya Israeli, wanaweza kuwaombolezea wale ambao Bwana amewaangamiza kwa moto.
7 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.
Msitoke nje ya ingilio la Hema la Kukutania, la sivyo mtakufa, kwa sababu mafuta ya Bwana ya upako yako juu yenu.” Hivyo wakafanya kama vile Mose alivyosema.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Aroni,
9 “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
“Wewe na wanao msinywe mvinyo wala kinywaji kingine kilichochachuka wakati mwingiapo katika Hema la Kukutania, la sivyo mtakufa. Hili litakuwa Agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo.
10 You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.
Ni lazima mtenganishe kilicho kitakatifu na kile kilicho cha kawaida, kati ya yaliyo najisi na yaliyo safi,
11 You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses.”
na lazima mwafundishe Waisraeli amri zote ambazo Bwana aliwapa kupitia Mose.”
12 Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;
Mose akamwambia Aroni pamoja na wanawe waliosalia, Eleazari na Ithamari, “Chukueni sadaka ya nafaka iliyobaki kutoka sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto, muile hapo kando ya madhabahu ikiwa imeandaliwa bila chachu, kwa sababu ni takatifu sana.
13 and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; for so I am commanded.
Mtaila katika mahali patakatifu kwa sababu ni fungu lenu na fungu la wana wenu la sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto, kwa maana hivyo ndivyo nilivyoamriwa.
14 The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.
Lakini wewe na wanao na binti zako mwaweza kula kidari kile kilichoinuliwa na paja lile lililotolewa. Mtavila mahali safi pa kawaida ya ibada; mmepewa wewe na watoto wako kuwa fungu lenu la sadaka za amani za Waisraeli.
15 They shall bring the heaved thigh and the waved breast with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh. It shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever, as Yahweh has commanded.”
Paja lile lililotolewa na kidari kile kilichoinuliwa lazima viletwe pamoja na sehemu za mafuta ya sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa moto, ili kuinuliwa mbele za Bwana kama sadaka ya kuinuliwa. Hili litakuwa fungu lako la kawaida na wanao, kama Bwana alivyoagiza.”
16 Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned. He was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
Mose alipouliza kuhusu mbuzi atolewaye kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na kukuta kwamba ameteketezwa, aliwakasirikia Eleazari na Ithamari, wana wa Aroni waliobaki, akawauliza,
17 “Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh?
“Kwa nini hamkula sadaka ya dhambi katika eneo la mahali patakatifu? Ni takatifu sana. Mlipewa ninyi ili kuondoa hatia ya jumuiya kwa ajili ya kuwafanyia upatanisho mbele za Bwana.
18 Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
Kwa kuwa damu yake haikuletwa ndani ya Mahali Patakatifu, mngemla mbuzi huyo katika sehemu ya mahali patakatifu kama nilivyoagiza.”
19 Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things as these have happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in Yahweh’s sight?”
Aroni akamjibu Mose, “Leo wanangu wametoa sadaka zao za dhambi na sadaka zao za kuteketezwa mbele za Bwana, lakini mambo kama haya yamenitokea mimi. Je, Bwana angependezwa kama ningekuwa nimekula sadaka ya dhambi leo?”
20 When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
Mose aliposikia haya, akaridhika.
