< Leviticus 2 >
1 “‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.
“‘Mtu yeyote aletapo sadaka ya nafaka kwa Bwana, sadaka yake itakuwa ya unga laini. Atamimina mafuta juu yake, aweke uvumba juu yake,
2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests. He shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense, and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
naye atapeleka kwa makuhani wana wa Aroni. Kuhani atachukua konzi moja iliyojaa unga laini na mafuta pamoja na uvumba wote, na kuuteketeza kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu juu ya madhabahu, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
3 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy part of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
Sadaka ya nafaka iliyobaki ni ya Aroni na wanawe, ni sehemu ya sadaka iliyo takatifu sana iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
4 “‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
“‘Kama utaleta sadaka ya nafaka iliyookwa jikoni, itakuwa ya unga laini: maandazi yaliyotengenezwa bila kutiwa chachu, yaliyochanganywa na mafuta, au mikate myembamba iliyotengenezwa bila kutiwa chachu, na iliyopakwa mafuta.
5 If your offering is a meal offering made on a griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil.
Iwapo sadaka yako ya nafaka imeandaliwa kwenye kikaango, itakuwa ni ya unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, bila chachu.
6 You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering.
Ukande na kumimina mafuta juu yake; hii ni sadaka ya nafaka.
7 If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
Kama sadaka yako ya nafaka imepikwa kwenye sufuria, itatengenezwa kwa unga laini na mafuta.
8 You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to the LORD. It shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar.
Ilete hiyo sadaka ya nafaka iliyotengenezwa kwa vitu hivi kwa Bwana; mkabidhi kuhani ambaye ataipeleka madhabahuni.
9 The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
Naye atatoa ile sehemu ya kumbukumbu kutoka kwenye hiyo sadaka ya nafaka na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
10 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy part of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
Sadaka ya nafaka iliyobaki ni ya Aroni na wanawe; ni sehemu ya sadaka iliyo takatifu sana ya sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
11 “‘No meal offering which you shall offer to the LORD shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
“‘Kila sadaka ya nafaka unayoleta kwa Bwana ni lazima ifanywe bila kutiwa chachu, kwa kuwa huna ruhusa kuchoma chachu yoyote au asali katika sadaka itolewayo kwa Bwana kwa moto.
12 As an offering of first fruits you shall offer them to the LORD, but they shall not rise up as a pleasant aroma on the altar.
Unaweza kuzileta kwa Bwana kama sadaka ya malimbuko, lakini haziwezi kutolewa juu ya madhabahu kama harufu nzuri ya kupendeza.
13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt. You shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.
Koleza sadaka zako zote za nafaka kwa chumvi. Usiache kuweka chumvi ya Agano la Mungu wako katika sadaka zako za nafaka; weka chumvi kwenye sadaka zako zote.
14 “‘If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits fresh heads of grain parched with fire and crushed.
“‘Kama ukileta malimbuko ya sadaka ya nafaka kwa Bwana, utatoa masuke yaliyopondwa ya nafaka mpya iliyookwa kwa moto.
15 You shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it. It is a meal offering.
Weka mafuta na uvumba juu yake; ni sadaka ya nafaka.
16 The priest shall burn as its memorial part of its crushed grain and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense. It is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Kuhani atateketeza ile sehemu ya kumbukumbu kutoka kwenye hiyo sadaka ya nafaka iliyopondwa kwa mafuta, pamoja na uvumba wote, kama sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
