Mambo ya Walawi 1
1 Bwana akamwita Mose na kusema naye kutoka kwenye Hema la Kukutania, akamwambia,
Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
2 “Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie, ‘Yeyote miongoni mwenu aletapo sadaka ya mnyama kwa Bwana, alete mnyama kama sadaka yake kutoka kundi lake la ngʼombe au la kondoo na mbuzi.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:
3 “‘Kama sadaka hiyo ni ya kuteketezwa kutoka kwenye kundi la ngʼombe, atamtoa ngʼombe dume asiye na dosari. Ni lazima amlete kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania ili aweze kukubalika kwa Bwana.
if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.
4 Ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha sadaka ya kuteketezwa, nayo itakubaliwa kwa niaba yake ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake.
And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.
5 Atamchinja yule fahali mchanga mbele za Bwana, kisha wana wa Aroni walio makuhani wataleta damu na kuinyunyiza pande zote za madhabahu yaliyo penye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
6 Ataichuna hiyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kuikata vipande vipande.
And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,
7 Wana wa Aroni kuhani wataweka moto juu ya madhabahu na kupanga kuni juu ya huo moto.
and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.
8 Kisha wana wa Aroni walio makuhani watapanga vile vipande vya nyama, pamoja na kichwa na mafuta ya huyo mnyama juu ya zile kuni zinazowaka juu ya madhabahu.
And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,
9 Ataziosha sehemu za ndani na miguu yake kwa maji, naye kuhani atavichoma vyote juu ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, yenye harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.
10 “‘Kama sadaka ni ya kuteketezwa kutoka kwenye kundi la kondoo au mbuzi, atamtoa mnyama dume asiye na dosari.
But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 Atamchinjia upande wa kaskazini wa madhabahu mbele za Bwana, nao wana wa Aroni walio makuhani watanyunyizia damu yake pande zote za madhabahu.
And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.
12 Atamkata vipande vipande, naye kuhani atavipanga, pamoja na kichwa na mafuta ya mnyama juu ya zile kuni zinazowaka juu ya madhabahu.
And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.
13 Ataosha sehemu za ndani na miguu kwa maji, naye kuhani atavileta vyote na kuvichoma juu ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
14 “‘Kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa inayotolewa kwa Bwana ni ndege, atamtoa hua au kinda la njiwa.
But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,
15 Kuhani atamleta kwenye madhabahu, naye atamvunja shingo na kumnyofoa kichwa na kumchoma juu ya madhabahu. Damu yake itachuruzishwa ubavuni mwa madhabahu.
the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.
16 Ataondoa kifuko cha chakula pamoja na uchafu wake na kuvitupa upande wa mashariki wa madhabahu, mahali pale penye majivu.
Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.
17 Atampasua na kumweka wazi katika mabawa yake, lakini asimwachanishe kabisa, kisha kuhani ataichoma juu ya zile kuni zinazowaka juu ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
