Mambo ya Walawi 11
1 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 “Waambieni Waisraeli: ‘Kati ya wanyama wote waishio juu ya nchi, hawa ndio mtakaowala:
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Mwaweza kula mnyama yeyote mwenye kwato zilizogawanyika sehemu mbili na ambaye hucheua.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
4 “‘Kuna wanyama wengine ambao hucheua tu au wenye kwato zilizogawanyika tu, lakini hao kamwe msiwale. Ngamia ingawa hucheua hana kwato zilizogawanyika; kwa kawaida ya ibada hiyo ni najisi kwenu.
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
5 Pelele ingawa hucheua hana kwato zilizogawanyika; huyo ni najisi kwenu.
And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
6 Sungura ingawa hucheua hana kwato zilizogawanyika; huyo ni najisi kwenu.
And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
7 Naye nguruwe ingawa anazo kwato zilizogawanyika sehemu mbili, hacheui; huyo ni najisi kwenu.
And the swine, because he parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
8 Kamwe msile nyama yao wala kugusa mizoga yao; wao ni najisi kwenu.
Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they are unclean to you.
9 “‘Kuhusu viumbe wote wanaoishi ndani ya maji ya bahari na vijito, mtakula wale wote wenye mapezi na magamba.
These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.
10 Lakini viumbe wote ndani ya bahari au vijito wasio na mapezi na magamba, wakiwa miongoni mwa makundi au viumbe wote ndani ya maji, hao ni machukizo kwenu.
And all that have no fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11 Nao watakuwa machukizo kwenu. Msile nyama yao, nayo mizoga yao itakuwa machukizo.
and they shall be an abomination to you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
12 Chochote kinachoishi ndani ya maji ambacho hakina mapezi na magamba kitakuwa chukizo kwenu.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
13 “‘Wafuatao ndio ndege watakaokuwa machukizo kwenu, hivyo msiwale kwa sababu ni chukizo: tai, furukombe, kipungu,
And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
14 mwewe mwekundu, aina zote za mwewe mweusi,
and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
15 aina zote za kunguru,
every raven after its kind,
16 mbuni, kiruka-njia, dudumizi, kipanga, shakwe, aina zote za kipanga,
and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind,
17 bundi, mnandi, bundi mkubwa,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 mumbi, mwari, nderi,
and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,
19 korongo, koikoi wa aina yoyote, hudihudi na popo.
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 “‘Wadudu wote warukao ambao hutembea kwa miguu minne watakuwa chukizo kwenu.
All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you.
21 Lakini wako viumbe wenye mabawa ambao hutembea kwa miguu minne mtakaowala: wale wenye vifundo katika miguu yao ya kurukaruka juu ya ardhi.
Yet these ye may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth,
22 Miongoni mwa hawa, mtakula nzige wa aina zote, senene, parare au panzi.
even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23 Lakini viumbe wengine wote wenye mabawa na wenye miguu minne ni machukizo kwenu.
But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination to you,
24 “‘Mtajinajisi kwa wanyama hawa. Yeyote agusaye mizoga yao atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
and by these ye shall become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
25 Yeyote atakayebeba mizoga ya viumbe hawa ni lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And whoever bears any of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26 “‘Kila mnyama mwenye ukwato ulioachana lakini haukugawanyika kabisa, au yule asiyecheua, huyo ni najisi kwenu; yeyote agusaye mzoga wowote wa hao atakuwa najisi.
Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 Miongoni mwa wanyama wote watembeao kwa miguu minne, wale watembeao kwa vitanga vyao ni najisi kwenu; yeyote agusaye mizoga yao atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28 Yeyote atakayebeba mizoga yao ni lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni. Wanyama hawa ni najisi kwenu.
And he who bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.
29 “‘Kuhusu wanyama watambaao juu ya ardhi, hawa ni najisi kwenu: kicheche, panya, aina yoyote ya mijusi mikubwa,
And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,
30 guruguru, kenge, mijusi ya ukutani, goromoe na kinyonga.
and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31 Hao wote watambaao juu ya ardhi ni najisi kwenu. Yeyote agusaye mizoga yao atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
These are those which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 Ikiwa mmoja wao atakufa na kuangukia juu ya kitu fulani, chombo hicho, hata kikiwa cha matumizi gani, kitakuwa najisi, kiwe kimetengenezwa kwa mti, nguo, ngozi au gunia. Kiweke ndani ya maji; kitakuwa najisi mpaka jioni, kisha kitakuwa safi tena.
And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, then it shall be clean.
33 Ikiwa mmoja wa wanyama aliyekufa ataangukia ndani ya chungu, kila kilichomo katika chungu hicho kitakuwa najisi, nawe ni lazima uvunje chungu hicho.
And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and ye shall break it.
34 Chakula chochote ambacho chaweza kuliwa lakini kikawa kimeingia maji kutoka kwenye chungu hicho ni najisi, na kitu chochote cha majimaji ambacho chaweza kunyweka kutoka kwenye chungu hicho ni najisi.
All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35 Chochote ambacho mzoga wa mmojawapo utaangukia kitakuwa najisi. Jiko au chungu cha kupikia ni lazima kivunjwe. Ni najisi, nawe ni lazima uvihesabu kuwa najisi.
And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean, whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36 Lakini chemchemi au kisima, mahali pa kuchota maji, patakuwa safi, lakini yeyote atakayegusa moja ya mizoga hii ni najisi.
Nevertheless a fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Kama mzoga ukianguka juu ya mbegu zozote ambazo ni za kupanda, zinabaki safi.
And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 Lakini kama mbegu imetiwa maji na mzoga ukaanguka juu yake, hiyo mbegu ni najisi kwenu.
But if water is put upon the seed, and any of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you.
39 “‘Kama mnyama ambaye mnaruhusiwa kumla akifa, yeyote atakayeugusa mzoga wake atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it shall be unclean until the evening.
40 Yeyote atakayekula sehemu ya mzoga huo ni lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni. Yeyote atakayebeba mzoga huo ni lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And he who eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 “‘Kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya ardhi ni chukizo; kisiliwe.
And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Msile kiumbe chochote kitambaacho juu ya ardhi, kiwe kitambaacho kwa tumbo lake, au kitambaacho kwa miguu minne au kwa miguu mingi; ni chukizo.
Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat, for they are an abomination.
43 Msijitie unajisi kwa chochote katika viumbe hivi. Msijitie unajisi kwa viumbe hivyo au kutiwa unajisi navyo.
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by it.
44 Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu; jitakaseni mwe watakatifu, kwa sababu mimi ni mtakatifu. Msijitie unajisi wenyewe kwa kiumbe chochote kile kiendacho juu ya ardhi.
For I am Jehovah your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and become ye holy, since I am holy. Neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moves upon the earth.
45 Mimi ndimi Bwana niliyewapandisha mtoke Misri ili niwe Mungu wenu. Kwa hiyo kuweni watakatifu kwa sababu Mimi ni mtakatifu.
For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 “‘Haya ndiyo masharti kuhusu wanyama, ndege, kila kiumbe hai kiendacho ndani ya maji, na kila kiumbe kiendacho juu ya ardhi.
This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth,
47 Ni lazima mpambanue kati ya kilicho najisi na kilicho safi, kati ya viumbe hai vinavyoweza kuliwa na vile visivyoweza kuliwa.’”
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
