Kutoka 30
1 “Tengeneza madhabahu kwa mbao za mshita kwa ajili ya kufukizia uvumba.
“You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.
2 Madhabahu hayo yawe mraba, urefu na upana wake dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa mbili, nazo pembe zake zitakuwa kitu kimoja nayo.
Its length shall be a cubit [18 in; 45.72 cm], and its width a cubit [18 in; 45.72 cm]. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits [36 in; 91.44 cm]. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
3 Funika hayo madhabahu juu na pande zote na pia pembe zake kwa dhahabu safi, na uifanyizie ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around 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.
You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.
5 Tengeneza mipiko kwa miti ya mshita na uifunike kwa dhahabu.
You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay 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.
You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.
7 “Itampasa Aroni kufukiza uvumba wenye harufu nzuri juu ya madhabahu kila siku asubuhi wakati anapowasha zile taa.
Aaron [Light-bringer] shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamp candles, he shall burn it.
8 Itampasa afukize uvumba tena wakati anapowasha taa wakati wa machweo ili uvumba ufukizwe daima mbele za Bwana kwa vizazi vijavyo.
When Aaron [Light-bringer] lights the lamp candles at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Adonai throughout all your generations.
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.
You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering 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.”
Aaron [Light-bringer] shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout all your generations. It is most holy to Adonai.”
11 Naye Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
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 take a census of the children of Israel [God prevails], according to those who are counted among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Adonai, when you count them; that there be no plague among them when you count them.
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.
They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are counted, half a shekel [0.2 oz; 5.67 g] after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is 0.4oz; 11.34 g; or called twenty gerahs 20/50 of an oz); half a shekel for an offering to Adonai.
14 Wote wale wanaovuka, wenye umri wa miaka ishirini au zaidi, watatoa sadaka kwa Bwana.
Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Adonai.
15 Matajiri hawatalipa zaidi ya nusu shekeli, nao maskini hawatatoa pungufu wakati mnatoa sadaka kwa Bwana kwa kufanya upatanisho wa nafsi zenu.
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel [0.2 oz; 5.67 g], when they give the offering of Adonai, to make atonement for your souls.
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.”
You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel [God prevails], and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel [God prevails] before Adonai, to make atonement for your souls.”
17 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
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 shall also make a basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19 Aroni na wanawe watanawa mikono na miguu yao kwa maji yatokayo katika hilo sinia.
Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.
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,
When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Adonai.
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.”
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”
22 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Moreover Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
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,
“Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels [12.5 lb; 5.67 kg]; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty shekels [6.25 lb; 2.835 kg]; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty shekels [6.25 lb; 2.835 kg];
24 shekeli 500 za aina nyingine ya mdalasini, vyote kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, pia hini ya mafuta ya zeituni.
and of cassia cinnamon five hundred shekels [12.5 lb; 5.67 kg], after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is 0.4oz; 11.34 g); and a hin [0.98 gal; 3.7 L] of olive oil.
25 Vitengeneze vikolezi hivi kuwa mafuta matakatifu ya upako yenye harufu nzuri, kazi ya mtengeneza manukato. Yatakuwa mafuta matakatifu ya upako.
You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 Kisha yatumie kupaka hilo Hema la Kukutania, Sanduku la Ushuhuda,
You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,
27 meza na vifaa vyake vyote, kinara cha taa na vifaa vyake vyote, madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba,
the table and all its articles, the menorah ·lamp· and its accessories, the altar of incense,
28 madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake vyote na sinia pamoja na kitako chake.
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.
29 Utaviweka wakfu ili viwe vitakatifu sana na kila kitakachoigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.
You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30 “Mtie Aroni na wanawe mafuta na uwaweke wakfu ili waweze kunitumikia katika kazi ya ukuhani.
You shall anoint Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
31 Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Haya yatakuwa mafuta matakatifu yangu ya upako kwa vizazi vijavyo.
You shall speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout all your generations.
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 shall not be poured on man’s flesh, and do not make any like it, according to its composition. It is holy. It shall be holy to you.
33 Mtu yeyote atakayetengeneza manukato kama hayo na yeyote atakayeyamimina juu ya mtu yeyote ambaye si kuhani atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.’”
Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall 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,
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: there shall be an equal weight of each;
35 pia tengeneza mchanganyiko wa uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, kazi ya mtengeneza manukato. Utiwe chumvi ili upate kuwa safi na mtakatifu.
and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure 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 you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.
37 Msitengeneze uvumba mwingine wowote wa namna hii kwa ajili yenu wenyewe; uoneni kuwa ni mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Adonai.
38 Yeyote atakayetengeneza uvumba kama huu ili kufurahia harufu yake nzuri lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.”
Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
