Mambo ya Walawi 22
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord 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, that they beware of those things that are consecrated of the children of Israel, and defile not 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 race, that approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children of Israel have offered 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 seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by occasion of the dead, and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation,
5 au ikiwa atagusa kitu chochote kitambaacho kimfanyacho mtu najisi, au mtu yeyote awezaye kumtia unajisi, hata unajisi uwe gani.
And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defiling,
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 the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified: but when he hath 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 is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.
8 Kamwe asile nyama ya mzoga wala iliyoraruliwa na wanyama pori, naye akatiwa unajisi kwa hilo. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith, I am the Lord.
9 “‘Makuhani lazima washike maagizo yangu ili wasiwe na hatia, wakafa kwa kuyadharau. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu.
Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
10 “‘Hakuna mtu yeyote asiye wa jamaa ya kuhani anayeruhusiwa kula sadaka takatifu, hata mgeni wa kuhani au mfanyakazi wake haruhusiwi kuila.
No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of 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 he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of 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 be married to any of the people, she shall not eat of those things that are sanctified, nor of the firstfruits.
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 be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return to her father’s house, she shall eat of her father’s meats, as she was wont to do when she was a maid, no stranger hath leave to eat of 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.
He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance, shall add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the priest into the sanctuary.
15 Kamwe makuhani wasiinajisi sadaka takatifu ambayo Waisraeli wameitoa kwa Bwana
And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children 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 bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify 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 children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord,
19 lazima mtoe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, akiwa ngʼombe, mbuzi au kondoo, ili aweze kukubalika kwa niaba yako.
To be offered by you, it shall be a male without blemish of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Kamwe usitoe kitu chochote chenye dosari kwa sababu hakitakubaliwa kwa niaba yako.
If it have a blemish you shall not offer it, neither shall it 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 that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, 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 be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing of them upon the Lord’s altar.
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, that hath the ear and the tail cut off, thou mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them.
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 beast that hath the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any such thing 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.’”
You shall not offer bread to your God, from the hand of a stranger, nor any other thing that he would give: because they are all corrupted, and defiled: you shall not receive 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.
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, they shall be seven days under the udder of their dam: but the eighth day, and thenceforth, they may be offered to the Lord.
28 Usimchinje ngʼombe na ndama wake, au kondoo na kitoto chake siku moja.
Whether it be a cow, or a sheep, they shall not be sacrificed the same day with their young ones.
29 “Unapomtolea Bwana dhabihu ya shukrani, itoe kwa namna ambayo itakubalika kwa niaba yako.
If you immolate a victim for thanksgiving to the Lord, that he may be favourable,
30 Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo, pasipo kubakiza chochote mpaka asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
You shall eat it the same day, there shall not any of it remain until the morning of the next day. I am the Lord.
31 “Shikeni maagizo yangu na kuyafuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Keep 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,
Profane not my holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you,
33 na niliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
And who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God: I am the Lord.
