Mambo ya Walawi 22
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:
2 “Mwambie Aroni na wanawe kushughulikia kwa uangalifu sadaka takatifu Waisraeli wanazoziweka wakfu kwangu, ili wasilinajisi Jina langu takatifu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, so that they may be careful of those things which have been consecrated for the sons of Israel, and so that they may not contaminate the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.
3 “Waambie: ‘Katika vizazi vijavyo, ikiwa yeyote wa wazao wako ni najisi kwa taratibu za kiibada, naye akakaribia sadaka takatifu zile Waisraeli wanazoweka wakfu kwa Bwana, mtu huyo lazima akatiliwe mbali na uso wangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
4 “‘Ikiwa mzao wa Aroni ana ugonjwa wa ngozi unaoambukiza au anatokwa na usaha mwilini, hawezi kula sadaka takatifu mpaka atakasike. Pia atakuwa najisi ikiwa atagusa kitu chochote kilicho najisi kwa kugusa maiti au mtu aliyetokwa na shahawa,
The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,
5 au ikiwa atagusa kitu chochote kitambaacho kimfanyacho mtu najisi, au mtu yeyote awezaye kumtia unajisi, hata unajisi uwe gani.
and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,
6 Mtu anayegusa kitu chochote cha aina hiyo atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni. Kamwe hatakula sadaka yoyote takatifu mpaka yeye mwenyewe awe ameoga kwa maji.
shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with water,
7 Wakati jua linapotua, atakuwa safi, na baadaye anaweza kula sadaka takatifu, kwa kuwa ni vyakula vyake.
and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.
8 Kamwe asile nyama ya mzoga wala iliyoraruliwa na wanyama pori, naye akatiwa unajisi kwa hilo. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. I am the Lord.
9 “‘Makuhani lazima washike maagizo yangu ili wasiwe na hatia, wakafa kwa kuyadharau. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu.
Let them observe my precepts, so that they may not fall under sin, and die in the Sanctuary, when they will have defiled it. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
10 “‘Hakuna mtu yeyote asiye wa jamaa ya kuhani anayeruhusiwa kula sadaka takatifu, hata mgeni wa kuhani au mfanyakazi wake haruhusiwi kuila.
No foreigner shall eat from what has been sanctified; a guest of the priests and a hired servant shall not eat from them.
11 Lakini ikiwa kuhani amenunua mtumwa kwa fedha, au mtumwa amezaliwa katika nyumba ya kuhani huyo, mtumwa huyo aweza kula chakula cha huyo kuhani.
But whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.
12 Ikiwa binti wa kuhani ameolewa na mtu asiye kuhani, binti huyo haruhusiwi kula chochote cha matoleo matakatifu.
If the daughter of a priest has been married to any of the people, she shall not eat from what has been sanctified, nor from the first-fruits.
13 Lakini ikiwa binti wa kuhani amekuwa mjane au amepewa talaka, naye hana watoto, na akarudi kuishi na jamaa ya baba yake kama wakati wa usichana wake, binti huyo anaweza kula chakula cha baba yake. Hata hivyo, mtu asiyeruhusiwa hawezi kula chochote katika chakula hiki.
But if she is a widow or divorced, and, being without children, she returns to her father’s house, she shall be nourished by her father’s foods, just as she was accustomed to do as a girl. No foreigner shall have the authority to eat from them.
14 “‘Ikiwa mtu yeyote amekula sadaka takatifu kwa makosa, lazima atoe malipo ya sadaka hiyo kwa kuhani na kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani ya sadaka hiyo.
Whoever, through ignorance, eats from what has been sanctified shall add a fifth part to that which he ate, and he shall give it to the priest at the Sanctuary.
15 Kamwe makuhani wasiinajisi sadaka takatifu ambayo Waisraeli wameitoa kwa Bwana
And they shall not contaminate what has been sanctified from the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,
16 kwa kuwaruhusu kuzila sadaka hizo takatifu, na hivyo kuwaletea hatia ya kudaiwa malipo. Mimi ndimi Bwana niwafanyaye watakatifu.’”
lest perhaps they may suffer the iniquity of their offense, when they will have eaten what has been sanctified. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
17 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18 “Sema na Aroni na wanawe, na Waisraeli wote uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mmoja wenu, aliye Mwisraeli au mgeni anayeishi katika nchi ya Israeli, atatoa matoleo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto kwa Bwana, iwe kutimiza nadhiri au kuwa sadaka ya hiari,
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man from the house of Israel, or from the newcomers who live with you, who would bring forward his oblation, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whatever he brings forward as a holocaust for the Lord,
19 lazima mtoe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, akiwa ngʼombe, mbuzi au kondoo, ili aweze kukubalika kwa niaba yako.
in order to be offered through you, shall offer an immaculate male from the oxen, or from the sheep, or from the goats.
20 Kamwe usitoe kitu chochote chenye dosari kwa sababu hakitakubaliwa kwa niaba yako.
If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.
21 Mtu yeyote aletapo sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana kutoka kundi la ngʼombe au mbuzi ili kutimiza nadhiri maalum au sadaka ya hiari, lazima sadaka hiyo isiwe na dosari au waa ili ikubalike.
The man who will have offered a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whether of oxen, or of sheep, shall offer what is immaculate, so that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.
22 Kamwe usimtolee Bwana mnyama aliye kipofu, aliyejeruhiwa wala aliye kilema, au chochote kilicho na uvimbe, au chenye upele au vidonda vinavyotoka usaha. Kamwe chochote cha aina hii kisiwekwe juu ya madhabahu kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto.
If it is blind, or if it is broken, or if it has a scar, or if it is has a boil, or a skin disease or infection, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor shall you burn any of these upon the altar of the Lord.
23 Lakini waweza ukatoa ngʼombe au kondoo mwenye kilema au aliyedumaa kama sadaka ya hiari, lakini hii haitakubalika kuwa sadaka ya kutimiza nadhiri.
An ox or a sheep, having an amputated ear or tail, you are able to offer voluntarily, but a vow is not able to be fulfilled by these.
24 Kamwe usimtolee Bwana mnyama ambaye mapumbu yake yamejeruhiwa, au kuhasiwa, au kuraruliwa au kukatwa. Kamwe usifanye hivi katika nchi yako mwenyewe,
You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things in your land.
25 na kamwe usikubali wanyama wa aina hii kutoka mkono wa mgeni ili kuwatoa wanyama hao kuwa chakula kwa Mungu wako. Wanyama hao hawatakubaliwa kwa niaba yako, kwa sababu wana vilema, nao wana dosari.’”
From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.
26 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 “Wakati ndama, mwana-kondoo au mwana-mbuzi azaliwapo, atabaki na mama yake kwa siku saba. Kuanzia siku ya nane na kuendelea anaweza kukubaliwa kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto.
An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.
28 Usimchinje ngʼombe na ndama wake, au kondoo na kitoto chake siku moja.
Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.
29 “Unapomtolea Bwana dhabihu ya shukrani, itoe kwa namna ambayo itakubalika kwa niaba yako.
If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,
30 Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo, pasipo kubakiza chochote mpaka asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.
31 “Shikeni maagizo yangu na kuyafuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
32 Msilinajisi Jina langu takatifu. Lazima nikubalike kuwa mtakatifu kwa Waisraeli. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu,
Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,
33 na niliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.
