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 unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.
3 Mwaweza kula mnyama yeyote mwenye kwato zilizogawanyika sehemu mbili na ambaye hucheua.
Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts — that shall 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.
Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
5 Pelele ingawa hucheua hana kwato zilizogawanyika; huyo ni najisi kwenu.
and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
6 Sungura ingawa hucheua hana kwato zilizogawanyika; huyo ni najisi kwenu.
and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
7 Naye nguruwe ingawa anazo kwato zilizogawanyika sehemu mbili, hacheui; huyo ni najisi kwenu.
and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you.
8 Kamwe msile nyama yao wala kugusa mizoga yao; wao ni najisi kwenu.
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.
9 “‘Kuhusu viumbe wote wanaoishi ndani ya maji ya bahari na vijito, mtakula wale wote wenye mapezi na magamba.
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall 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.
but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters — they shall be an abomination unto you.
11 Nao watakuwa machukizo kwenu. Msile nyama yao, nayo mizoga yao itakuwa machukizo.
They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.
12 Chochote kinachoishi ndani ya maji ambacho hakina mapezi na magamba kitakuwa chukizo kwenu.
Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13 “‘Wafuatao ndio ndege watakaokuwa machukizo kwenu, hivyo msiwale kwa sababu ni chukizo: tai, furukombe, kipungu,
And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
14 mwewe mwekundu, aina zote za mwewe mweusi,
and the falcon, and the kite, 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 female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;
17 bundi, mnandi, bundi mkubwa,
and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,
18 mumbi, mwari, nderi,
and the swan, 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.
Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto 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 shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those 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.
These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.
23 Lakini viumbe wengine wote wenye mabawa na wenye miguu minne ni machukizo kwenu.
But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.
24 “‘Mtajinajisi kwa wanyama hawa. Yeyote agusaye mizoga yao atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
25 Yeyote atakayebeba mizoga ya viumbe hawa ni lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.
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 that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth 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 goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
28 Yeyote atakayebeba mizoga yao ni lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni. Wanyama hawa ni najisi kwenu.
And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.
29 “‘Kuhusu wanyama watambaao juu ya ardhi, hawa ni najisi kwenu: kicheche, panya, aina yoyote ya mijusi mikubwa,
And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;
30 guruguru, kenge, mijusi ya ukutani, goromoe na kinyonga.
and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.
31 Hao wote watambaao juu ya ardhi ni najisi kwenu. Yeyote agusaye mizoga yao atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
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 on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done — it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it 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 falleth — 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 that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel.
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 where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Lakini chemchemi au kisima, mahali pa kuchota maji, patakuwa safi, lakini yeyote atakayegusa moja ya mizoga hii ni najisi.
Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37 Kama mzoga ukianguka juu ya mbegu zozote ambazo ni za kupanda, zinabaki safi.
And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;
38 Lakini kama mbegu imetiwa maji na mzoga ukaanguka juu yake, hiyo mbegu ni najisi kwenu.
but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 “‘Kama mnyama ambaye mnaruhusiwa kumla akifa, yeyote atakayeugusa mzoga wake atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
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 that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.
41 “‘Kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya ardhi ni chukizo; kisiliwe.
And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be 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 goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth — these 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 through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
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; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on 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 cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on 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 difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.
