Leviticus 17
1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Speke thou to Aaron,
Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
2 and to hise sones, and to alle the sones of Israel, and seie thou to hem, This is the word which the Lord comaundide,
“Zungumza na Aroni na wanawe, na watu wote wa Israeli. Waambie mambo ambayo ameamru Yahweh:
3 and seide, Ech man of the hows of Israel schal be gilti of blood, if he sleeth an oxe, ether a scheep, ethir a geet in the castels, ethir out of the castels,
Mtu yeyote wa Isreli anayeua fahali au mwana—kondoo au mbuzi kambini, au amuuaye nje ya kambi, ili kumtoa dhabihu—
4 and offrith not an offryng to the Lord at the dore of the tabernacle; as he schedde mannus blood, so he schal perische fro the myddis of his puple.
kama hamleti katika ingilio la hema la kukutania ili kumtoa dhabihu kwa Yahweh mbele za hema lake la kukutania, mtu huyo ana hatia ya damu iliyomwagika. Amemwaga damu, na mtu huyo ni sharti akatiliwe mabali kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake.
5 Therfor the sones of Israel owen to offre her sacrifices to the preest, whiche thei sleen in the feeld, that tho be halewid to the Lord, bifor the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, and that thei offre tho pesible sacrifices to the Lord.
Kusudi la amri hii ni kwamba watu wa Israeli wataleta dhabihu zao kwa Yahweh kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania, watazileta kwa kuhani ziweze kutolewa kuwa matoleo ya shukrani kwa Yahweh, badala ya kutoa dhabihu hadharani katika shamba.
6 And the preest schal schede the blood on the auter of the Lord, at the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng; and he schal brenne the ynnere fatnesse in to odour of swetnesse to the Lord.
Kuhani atainyunyiza damu juu ya madhabahu ya Yahweh kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania; atayachoma mafuta yake ili kutoa harufu ya kupendeza mbele za Yahweh.
7 And thei schulen no more offre her sacrifices to fendis, with whiche thei diden fornycacioun; it schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge to hem, and to the aftircomeris `of hem.
Ni lazima watu wasitoe tena dhabihu zao kwa sanamu za mbuzi, ambazo kwazo hutenda kama makahaba. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yao katika vizazi vya watu wao vyote.
8 And thou schalt seie to hem, A man of the hows of Israel, and of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you, that offrith a brent sacrifice, ethir a slayn sacrifice,
Ni lazima uwaambie, 'Mtu yeyote wa Israeli, au Mgeni yeyote aishiye miongoni mwao, atoweye dhabihu
9 and bryngith it not to the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, that it be offrid to the Lord, schal perische fro his puple.
na asiilete kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania ili kuitoa kwa Yahweh, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali kutoka kwa watu wake.'
10 If ony man of the sones of Israel, and of comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you, etith blood, Y schal sette faste my face ayens `the soule of hym, and Y schal leese hym fro his puple;
Na Mtu yeyote wa Israeli, au yeyote wa Wageni anayeishi miongoni mwao, ambaye hunywa damu; nitamkatilia mbali atoke miongoni mwa watu wake.
11 for the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and Y yaf that blood to you, that ye clense on myn auter `for youre soulis, and that the blood be for the synne of soule.
Kwa kuwa uhai wa mnyama yeyote umo katika damu yake. Nimeitoa damu yake kwenu kufanya upatanisho juu ya madhabahu kwa ajili ya uhai wenu, kwa sababu ni damu ndiyo ifanyayo upatanisho, kwa kuwa ni damu ipatanishayo kwa ajili ya uhai
12 Therfor Y seide to the sones of Israel, Ech lyuynge man of you schal not ete blood, nethir of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you.
Kwa hiyo Niliwaambia Watu wa Israeli kwamba hayupo miongoni mwenu impasaye kula damu, wala yeyote wa Wageni aishiye miongoni mwenu atakaye kula damu.
13 What euer man of the sones of Israel, and of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms anentis you, takith a wielde beeste, ethir a brid, whiche it is leueful to ete, whether bi huntyng, whether bi haukyng, schede the blood therof, and hile it with erthe;
Na yeyote miongoni mwa watu wa Israeli, au yeyote wa Wageni aishiye miongoni mwenu ni lazima aimwage damu ya mnyama na kuifukia hiyo damu kwa mafumbi.
14 for the lijf of ech fleisch is in blood. Wherfor Y seide to the sones of Israel, Ye schulen not ete the blood of ony fleisch, for the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and who euer etith blood, schal perische.
Kwa kuwa uhai wa kila kiumbe umo katika damu yake. Ni kwa sababu hii niliwaambia watu wa Israeli, ni lazima msile damu ya kiumbe cho chote, kwa kuwa maisha ya kila kiumbe chenye uhai ni damu yake. Yeyeote ailaye ni lazima akatiliwe mbali.
15 A man that etith a thing deed bi it silf, ethir takun of a beeste, as wel of men borun in the lond, as of comelyngis, he schal waische hise clothis and hym silf in watir, and he schal be `defoulid til to euentid; and by this ordre he schal be maad cleene; that if he waischith not his clothis,
Mtu yeyote alaye mnyama aliyekufa au ambaye amelaruliwa na wanyama pori, ama yule mtu ni mwenyeji wa kuzaliwa au ni mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu, ni lazima atazifua nguo zake na kujiosha katika maji, naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni. Kisha atakuwa safi.
16 ether his bodi, he schal bere his wickidnesse.
Lakini kama hazifui nguo zake au kuosha mwili wake, ni lazima aichukue hatia yake”.
