Kutoka 30
1 “Tengeneza madhabahu kwa mbao za mshita kwa ajili ya kufukizia uvumba.
And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.
2 Madhabahu hayo yawe mraba, urefu na upana wake dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa mbili, nazo pembe zake zitakuwa kitu kimoja nayo.
The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.
3 Funika hayo madhabahu juu na pande zote na pia pembe zake kwa dhahabu safi, na uifanyizie ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.
4 Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu kwa ajili ya madhabahu chini ya huo ukingo, ziwe mbili kila upande, za kushikilia hiyo mipiko itumikayo kuibebea madhabahu.
Under the edge on the two opposite sides, you are to make two gold rings, to take the rods for lifting it.
5 Tengeneza mipiko kwa miti ya mshita na uifunike kwa dhahabu.
And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.
6 Weka hayo madhabahu mbele ya lile pazia lililo mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda, lililo mbele ya kiti cha rehema kilicho juu ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda, mahali ambapo nitakutana nawe.
And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.
7 “Itampasa Aroni kufukiza uvumba wenye harufu nzuri juu ya madhabahu kila siku asubuhi wakati anapowasha zile taa.
And on this altar sweet spices are to be burned by Aaron every morning when he sees to the lights.
8 Itampasa afukize uvumba tena wakati anapowasha taa wakati wa machweo ili uvumba ufukizwe daima mbele za Bwana kwa vizazi vijavyo.
And every evening, when he puts the lights up in their places, the spices are to be burned, a sweet-smelling smoke going up before the Lord from generation to generation for ever.
9 Usifukize uvumba mwingine wowote juu ya madhabahu haya au sadaka nyingine yoyote ya kuteketezwa wala sadaka ya nafaka, wala usimimine sadaka ya kinywaji juu yake.
No strange perfume, no burned offering or meal offering, and no drink offering is to be offered on it.
10 Mara moja kwa mwaka Aroni atafanya upatanisho juu ya pembe za hayo madhabahu. Upatanisho huu wa mwaka lazima ufanywe kwa damu ya sadaka ya upatanisho kwa ajili ya dhambi kwa vizazi vijavyo. Ni takatifu sana kwa Bwana.”
And once every year Aaron is to make its horns clean: with the blood of the sin-offering he is to make it clean once every year from generation to generation: it is most holy to the Lord.
11 Naye Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord said to Moses,
12 “Utakapowahesabu Waisraeli, kila mmoja lazima alipe kwa Bwana fidia kwa ajili ya nafsi yake wakati wa kuhesabiwa kwake. Ndipo hakutakuwa na pigo juu yao unapowahesabu.
When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to the Lord a price for his life, so that no disease may come on them when they are numbered.
13 Kila mmoja anayekwenda upande wa wale waliokwisha hesabiwa atatoa nusu shekeli, kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, ambayo ina uzito wa gera ishirini. Hii nusu shekeli ni sadaka kwa Bwana.
And this is what they are to give; let every man who is numbered give half a shekel, by the scale of the holy place: (the shekel being valued at twenty gerahs: ) this money is an offering to the Lord.
14 Wote wale wanaovuka, wenye umri wa miaka ishirini au zaidi, watatoa sadaka kwa Bwana.
Everyone who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, is to give an offering to the Lord.
15 Matajiri hawatalipa zaidi ya nusu shekeli, nao maskini hawatatoa pungufu wakati mnatoa sadaka kwa Bwana kwa kufanya upatanisho wa nafsi zenu.
The man of wealth is to give no more and the poor man no less than the half-shekel of silver, when the offering is made to the Lord as the price for your lives.
16 Utapokea fedha ya upatanisho kutoka kwa Waisraeli na uzitumie kwa ajili ya huduma ya Hema la Kukutania. Itakuwa ni ukumbusho kwa Waisraeli mbele za Bwana kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya nafsi zenu.”
And you are to take this money from the children of Israel to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting, to keep the memory of the children of Israel before the Lord and to be the price of your lives.
17 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord said to Moses,
18 “Tengeneza sinia la shaba lenye kitako cha shaba kwa ajili ya kunawia. Liweke kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, kisha uweke maji ndani yake.
You are to make a brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it;
19 Aroni na wanawe watanawa mikono na miguu yao kwa maji yatokayo katika hilo sinia.
That it may be used by Aaron and his sons for washing their hands and feet;
20 Wakati wowote wanapoingia katika Hema la Kukutania, watanawa kwa maji ili kwamba wasije wakafa. Pia, wanapokaribia madhabahu ili kuhudumu kwa kuleta sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto,
Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,
21 watanawa mikono na miguu yao ili kwamba wasije wakafa. Hii itakuwa ni amri ya kudumu kwa ajili ya Aroni na wazao wake kwa vizazi vijavyo.”
Their hands and feet are to be washed. so that they may be safe from death: this is an order to them for ever; to him and his seed from generation to generation.
22 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord said to Moses,
23 “Chukua vikolezi bora vifuatavyo: shekeli 500 za manemane ya maji, shekeli 250 za mdalasini wenye harufu nzuri, shekeli 250 za miwa yenye harufu nzuri,
Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,
24 shekeli 500 za aina nyingine ya mdalasini, vyote kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, pia hini ya mafuta ya zeituni.
And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin:
25 Vitengeneze vikolezi hivi kuwa mafuta matakatifu ya upako yenye harufu nzuri, kazi ya mtengeneza manukato. Yatakuwa mafuta matakatifu ya upako.
And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil.
26 Kisha yatumie kupaka hilo Hema la Kukutania, Sanduku la Ushuhuda,
This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law,
27 meza na vifaa vyake vyote, kinara cha taa na vifaa vyake vyote, madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba,
And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,
28 madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake vyote na sinia pamoja na kitako chake.
And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.
29 Utaviweka wakfu ili viwe vitakatifu sana na kila kitakachoigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.
And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy.
30 “Mtie Aroni na wanawe mafuta na uwaweke wakfu ili waweze kunitumikia katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.
31 Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Haya yatakuwa mafuta matakatifu yangu ya upako kwa vizazi vijavyo.
And say to the children of Israel, This is to be the Lord's holy oil, from generation to generation.
32 Usiyamimine juu ya miili ya wanadamu wala usitengeneze mafuta ya aina nyingine kwa utaratibu huu. Ni mafuta matakatifu na ni lazima myaone kuwa ni matakatifu.
It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy.
33 Mtu yeyote atakayetengeneza manukato kama hayo na yeyote atakayeyamimina juu ya mtu yeyote ambaye si kuhani atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.’”
Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people.
34 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Chukua vikolezi vyenye harufu nzuri vifuatavyo: natafi, shekelethi, kelbena na uvumba safi vyote vikiwa na vipimo sawa,
And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights;
35 pia tengeneza mchanganyiko wa uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, kazi ya mtengeneza manukato. Utiwe chumvi ili upate kuwa safi na mtakatifu.
And make from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean and holy.
36 Saga baadhi yake kuwa unga na uweke mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, mahali ambapo nitakutana nawe. Itakuwa takatifu sana kwenu.
And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.
37 Msitengeneze uvumba mwingine wowote wa namna hii kwa ajili yenu wenyewe; uoneni kuwa ni mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.
38 Yeyote atakayetengeneza uvumba kama huu ili kufurahia harufu yake nzuri lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.”
Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.
