Mambo ya Walawi 17
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 “Sema na Aroni na wanawe, pamoja na Waisraeli wote, uwaambie: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana aliloagiza:
Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel, and say vnto them, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,
3 Mwisraeli yeyote atakayetoa dhabihu ya maksai, mwana-kondoo au mbuzi ndani ya kambi au nje yake,
Whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel that killeth a bullocke, or lambe, or goate in the hoste, or that killeth it out of the hoste,
4 badala ya kuileta kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania ili kuileta kama sadaka kwa Bwana mbele ya Maskani ya Bwana, mtu huyo atahesabiwa kuwa na hatia ya kumwaga damu; ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
And bringeth it not vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation to offer an offring vnto the Lord before the Tabernacle of the Lord, blood shalbe imputed vnto that man: he hath shed blood, wherefore that man shall be cut off from among his people.
5 Hii ni ili Waisraeli wamletee Bwana dhabihu wanazozifanya sasa mahali pa wazi mashambani. Ni lazima wazilete kwa makuhani, yaani kwa Bwana, katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania, na kutoa dhabihu kama sadaka za amani.
Therefore the children of Israel shall bring their offrings, which they would offer abroad in the fielde, and present the vnto ye Lord at the doore of the Tabernacle of ye Congregation by ye Priest, and offer them for peace offrings vnto the Lord.
6 Kuhani atanyunyiza damu kwenye madhabahu ya Bwana katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania, na kuyateketeza mafuta ya hiyo dhabihu kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
Then the Priest shall sprinkle the blood vpon the Altar of the Lord before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and burne the fat for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.
7 Hawatatoa kamwe dhabihu zao kwa sanamu za mbuzi ambazo wamekuwa wakijifanyia nazo ukahaba. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwao na kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo.’
And they shall no more offer their offerings vnto deuils, after whom they haue gone a whoring: this shalbe an ordinance for euer vnto them in their generations.
8 “Waambie: ‘Mwisraeli yeyote au mgeni yeyote anayeishi miongoni mwao atakayetoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa au dhabihu
Also thou shalt say vnto them, whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which soiourne among them, that offreth a burnt offring or sacrifice,
9 bila kuileta kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania ili kutoa dhabihu kwa Bwana, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
And bringeth it not vnto ye doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation to offer it vnto the Lord, euen that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 “‘Mwisraeli yeyote au mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwao ambaye atakunywa damu yoyote, nitakuwa kinyume cha mtu huyo atakayekunywa damu na kumkatilia mbali na watu wake.
Likewise whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that soiourne among them, that eateth any blood, I will euen set my face against that person that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 Kwa kuwa uhai wa kiumbe uko ndani ya damu, nami nimewapa hiyo damu ili mfanyie upatanisho kwa ajili yenu wenyewe juu ya madhabahu; damu ndiyo ifanyayo upatanisho kwa ajili ya maisha ya mtu.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I haue giuen it vnto you to offer vpon the altar, to make an atonement for your soules: for this blood shall make an atonement for the soule.
12 Kwa hiyo, ninawaambia Waisraeli, “Hakuna hata mmoja wenu anayeruhusiwa kunywa damu, wala mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu haruhusiwi kunywa damu.”
Therefore I saide vnto ye children of Israel, None of you shall eate blood: neither the stranger that soiourneth among you, shall eate blood.
13 “‘Mwisraeli yeyote au mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu ambaye atamwinda mnyama au ndege anayeruhusiwa kuliwa ni lazima aimwage damu na kuifunika kwa udongo,
Moreouer whosoeuer he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that soiourne among the, which by hunting taketh any beast or foule that may be eaten, he shall powre out the blood thereof, and couer it with dust:
14 kwa sababu uhai wa kila kiumbe ni katika damu yake. Ndiyo sababu nimewaambia Waisraeli, “Kamwe msinywe damu ya kiumbe chochote, kwa sababu uhai wa kila kiumbe ni katika damu yake; yeyote atakayekunywa damu ni lazima akatiliwe mbali.”
For ye life of all flesh is his blood, it is ioyned with his life: therefore I sayd vnto the children of Israel, Ye shall eate the blood of no flesh: for the life of al flesh is the blood thereof: whosoeuer eateth it, shalbe cut off.
15 “‘Mtu yeyote, awe mzawa au mgeni, ambaye atakula mzoga wa kitu chochote ama kilichouawa na wanyama mwitu ni lazima afue nguo zake na aoge kwa maji, naye atakuwa najisi kwa kawaida ya ibada mpaka jioni, kisha atakuwa safi.
And euery person that eateth it which dyeth alone, or that which is torne with beastes, whether it be one of the same countrey or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and wash himselfe in water, and be vncleane vnto the euen: after he shalbe cleane.
16 Lakini kama hakufua nguo zake na kuoga, atakuwa na hatia kwa kosa hilo.’”
But if he wash them not, nor wash his flesh, then he shall beare his iniquitie.
