Mambo ya Walawi 22
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And YHWH speaks 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, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they do not defile My holy Name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] YHWH.
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: Throughout your generations, any man who draws near, out of all your seed, to the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] on him—indeed, that person has been cut off from before My face; I [am] YHWH.
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,
Any man of the seed of Aaron, and he is leprous or has discharging—he does not eat of the holy things until he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him,
5 au ikiwa atagusa kitu chochote kitambaacho kimfanyacho mtu najisi, au mtu yeyote awezaye kumtia unajisi, hata unajisi uwe gani.
or a man who comes against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness—
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 person who comes against it has even been unclean until the evening, and does not eat of the holy things, but has bathed 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 gone in, and he has been clean, and afterward he eats of the holy things, for it [is] his food;
8 Kamwe asile nyama ya mzoga wala iliyoraruliwa na wanyama pori, naye akatiwa unajisi kwa hilo. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
he does not eat a carcass or torn thing, to become unclean with it; I [am] YHWH.
9 “‘Makuhani lazima washike maagizo yangu ili wasiwe na hatia, wakafa kwa kuyadharau. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu.
And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they defile it; I [am] YHWH sanctifying them.
10 “‘Hakuna mtu yeyote asiye wa jamaa ya kuhani anayeruhusiwa kula sadaka takatifu, hata mgeni wa kuhani au mfanyakazi wake haruhusiwi kuila.
And no stranger eats of the holy thing; a settler [with] a priest and a hired worker does 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 when a priest buys a person, the purchase of his money, he eats of it, also one born in his house; they eat of his bread.
12 Ikiwa binti wa kuhani ameolewa na mtu asiye kuhani, binti huyo haruhusiwi kula chochote cha matoleo matakatifu.
And a priest’s daughter, when she is a strange man’s, she does not eat of the raised-offering of 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 a priest’s daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and has no seed, and has turned back to the house of her father, as [in] her youth, she eats of her father’s bread; but no stranger eats of it.
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 when a man eats of a holy thing through ignorance, then he has added its fifth part to it, and has given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;
15 Kamwe makuhani wasiinajisi sadaka takatifu ambayo Waisraeli wameitoa kwa Bwana
and they do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel—that which they lift up to YHWH,
16 kwa kuwaruhusu kuzila sadaka hizo takatifu, na hivyo kuwaletea hatia ya kudaiwa malipo. Mimi ndimi Bwana niwafanyaye watakatifu.’”
or have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
17 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And YHWH speaks 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 have said to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who brings his offering near, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to YHWH for a burnt-offering—
19 lazima mtoe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, akiwa ngʼombe, mbuzi au kondoo, ili aweze kukubalika kwa niaba yako.
[you bring near] at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;
20 Kamwe usitoe kitu chochote chenye dosari kwa sababu hakitakubaliwa kwa niaba yako.
nothing in which [is] blemish do you bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing 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 when a man brings a sacrifice of peace-offerings near to YHWH, to complete a special vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is 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.
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or [having] an oozing sore [[or a defect of the eye]], or itch, or scab—you do not bring these near to YHWH, and you do not make a fire-offering from them on the altar to YHWH.
23 Lakini waweza ukatoa ngʼombe au kondoo mwenye kilema au aliyedumaa kama sadaka ya hiari, lakini hii haitakubalika kuwa sadaka ya kutimiza nadhiri.
As for an ox or sheep [that] is deformed or stunted—you make it a willing-offering, but it is not pleasing for a vow.
24 Kamwe usimtolee Bwana mnyama ambaye mapumbu yake yamejeruhiwa, au kuhasiwa, au kuraruliwa au kukatwa. Kamwe usifanye hivi katika nchi yako mwenyewe,
As for bruised, or beaten, or torn, or cut—you do not bring [it] near to YHWH; and in your land you do not do it.
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.’”
And you do not bring the bread of your God near from the hand of a son of a stranger, from any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.”
26 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And YHWH speaks 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 ox, or lamb, or goat is born, and it has been under its mother [for] seven days, then from the eighth day and from now on, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to YHWH;
28 Usimchinje ngʼombe na ndama wake, au kondoo na kitoto chake siku moja.
but an ox or sheep—you do not slaughter it and its young one in one day.
29 “Unapomtolea Bwana dhabihu ya shukrani, itoe kwa namna ambayo itakubalika kwa niaba yako.
And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, you sacrifice at your pleasure;
30 Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo, pasipo kubakiza chochote mpaka asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
it is eaten on that day—you do not leave of it until morning; I [am] YHWH.
31 “Shikeni maagizo yangu na kuyafuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And you have kept my commands and have done them; I [am] YHWH;
32 Msilinajisi Jina langu takatifu. Lazima nikubalike kuwa mtakatifu kwa Waisraeli. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu,
and you do not defile My holy Name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you,
33 na niliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] YHWH.”
