Mambo ya Walawi 22
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the LORD spoke unto 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 unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto Me, and that they profane not My holy name: 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 unto them: Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before Me: 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,
What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any one that is unclean by the dead; or from whomsoever the flow of seed goeth out;
5 au ikiwa atagusa kitu chochote kitambaacho kimfanyacho mtu najisi, au mtu yeyote awezaye kumtia unajisi, hata unajisi uwe gani.
or whosoever toucheth any swarming thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6 Mtu anayegusa kitu chochote cha aina hiyo atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni. Kamwe hatakula sadaka yoyote takatifu mpaka yeye mwenyewe awe ameoga kwa maji.
the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
7 Wakati jua linapotua, atakuwa safi, na baadaye anaweza kula sadaka takatifu, kwa kuwa ni vyakula vyake.
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 Kamwe asile nyama ya mzoga wala iliyoraruliwa na wanyama pori, naye akatiwa unajisi kwa hilo. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
9 “‘Makuhani lazima washike maagizo yangu ili wasiwe na hatia, wakafa kwa kuyadharau. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu.
They shall therefore keep My charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane 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.
There shall no common man eat of the holy thing; a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
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 if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he may eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they may eat of his bread.
12 Ikiwa binti wa kuhani ameolewa na mtu asiye kuhani, binti huyo haruhusiwi kula chochote cha matoleo matakatifu.
And if a priest's daughter be married unto a common man, she shall not eat of that which is set apart from the holy things.
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 a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread; but there shall no common man eat thereof.
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.
And if a man eat of the holy thing through error, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.
15 Kamwe makuhani wasiinajisi sadaka takatifu ambayo Waisraeli wameitoa kwa Bwana
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they set apart unto the LORD;
16 kwa kuwaruhusu kuzila sadaka hizo takatifu, na hivyo kuwaletea hatia ya kudaiwa malipo. Mimi ndimi Bwana niwafanyaye watakatifu.’”
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctify them.
17 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the LORD spoke unto 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 unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that bringeth his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their free-will-offerings, which are brought unto the LORD for a burnt-offering;
19 lazima mtoe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, akiwa ngʼombe, mbuzi au kondoo, ili aweze kukubalika kwa niaba yako.
that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Kamwe usitoe kitu chochote chenye dosari kwa sababu hakitakubaliwa kwa niaba yako.
But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not bring; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
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.
And whosoever bringeth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
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.
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto 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.
Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing too long or too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Kamwe usimtolee Bwana mnyama ambaye mapumbu yake yamejeruhiwa, au kuhasiwa, au kuraruliwa au kukatwa. Kamwe usifanye hivi katika nchi yako mwenyewe,
That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut, ye shall not offer unto the LORD; neither shall ye do thus 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.’”
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them; they shall not be accepted for you.
26 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the LORD spoke unto 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, then it shall be seven days under the dam; but from the eighth day and thenceforth it may be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 Usimchinje ngʼombe na ndama wake, au kondoo na kitoto chake siku moja.
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 “Unapomtolea Bwana dhabihu ya shukrani, itoe kwa namna ambayo itakubalika kwa niaba yako.
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
30 Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo, pasipo kubakiza chochote mpaka asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the LORD.
31 “Shikeni maagizo yangu na kuyafuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And ye shall 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,
And ye shall not profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who hallow you,
33 na niliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
