Mambo ya Walawi 23
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Hizi ndizo sikukuu zangu zilizoamriwa, sikukuu zilizoamriwa za Bwana, ambazo mtazitangaza kuwa makusanyiko matakatifu.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
3 “‘Kuna siku sita mnazoweza kufanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kupumzika, siku ya kusanyiko takatifu. Hamtafanya kazi yoyote. Popote mnapoishi, ni Sabato kwa Bwana.
Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
4 “‘Hizi ni sikukuu za Bwana zilizoamriwa, makusanyiko matakatifu mtakayoyatangaza kwa nyakati zilizoamriwa:
These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons.
5 Pasaka ya Bwana huanza jioni ya siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza.
The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord:
6 Siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi huo wa kwanza, Sikukuu ya Bwana ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu huanza; kwa siku saba, mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu.
And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
7 Katika siku ya kwanza, mtakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein:
8 Kwa siku saba mtamletea Bwana sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto. Kwenye siku hiyo ya saba mtafanya kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.’”
But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.
9 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
10 “Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia katika nchi nitakayowapa na kuvuna mazao ya nchi hiyo, leteni kwa kuhani mganda wa nafaka ya kwanza mtakayovuna.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:
11 Naye atauinua huo mganda mbele za Bwana ili ukubaliwe kwa niaba yenu; kuhani ataupunga siku inayofuata Sabato.
Who shall lift up the shed before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
12 Siku hiyo mtakapoinua huo mganda, lazima mtoe kwa Bwana dhabihu ya kuteketezwa kwa moto ya mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiye na dosari,
And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.
13 pamoja na sadaka yake ya nafaka ya sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kupendeza, na sadaka yake ya kinywaji ya robo ya hini ya divai.
And the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of hour tempered with oil for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour: libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 Kamwe msile mkate wowote, au nafaka iliyokaangwa au nafaka mpya, mpaka siku ile mtakayomletea Mungu wenu sadaka hii. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo, popote mnapoishi.
You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.
15 “‘Tangu siku ile iliyofuata Sabato, siku mliyotoa sadaka ya mganda wa kuinuliwa, hesabuni majuma saba kamili.
You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks.
16 Mtahesabu siku hamsini mpaka siku inayofuata Sabato ya saba, ndipo mtatoa sadaka ya nafaka mpya kwa Bwana.
Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days, and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.
17 Kutoka popote mnapoishi, mtaleta mikate miwili ya unga laini, sehemu mbili za kumi za efa, uliookwa kwa chachu, kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa ya malimbuko kwa Bwana.
Out of all your dwellings, two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.
18 Toeni pamoja na hiyo mikate wana-kondoo saba, kila mmoja wa mwaka mmoja asiye na dosari, na fahali mchanga, na kondoo dume wawili. Watakuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto iliyotolewa kwa Bwana, pamoja na sadaka za nafaka na sadaka za vinywaji, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto yenye harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
And you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord.
19 Kisha toeni dhabihu ya mbuzi dume mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na wana-kondoo wawili, kila mmoja wa mwaka mmoja, kwa ajili ya sadaka ya amani.
You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.
20 Kuhani atawainua hao wana-kondoo wawili mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa, pamoja na mkate wa malimbuko. Ni sadaka takatifu kwa Bwana kwa ajili ya kuhani.
And when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
21 Siku iyo hiyo mtatangaza kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo, popote mnapoishi.
And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.
22 “‘Mnapovuna mavuno ya ardhi yenu, msivune hadi mpakani mwa shamba lenu, au kukusanya masazo ya mavuno yenu. Hayo utayaacha kwa ajili ya maskini na mgeni. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain; but you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.
23 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24 “Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa saba mtakuwa na siku ya mapumziko, kusanyiko takatifu la ukumbusho litakaloadhimishwa kwa kupiga tarumbeta.
Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with she sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.
25 Msifanye kazi zenu zozote za kawaida, lakini toeni sadaka kwa Bwana iliyoteketezwa kwa moto.’”
You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
26 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 “Siku ya kumi ya mwezi huu wa saba ni Siku ya Upatanisho. Mtafanya kusanyiko takatifu, mfunge, nanyi mtoe sadaka kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto.
Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement, it shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
28 Msifanye kazi siku hiyo, kwa sababu ni Siku ya Upatanisho, ambapo upatanisho unafanyika kwa ajili yenu mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.
29 Mtu yeyote ambaye hatafunga siku hiyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people:
30 Mtu yeyote atakayefanya kazi siku hiyo nitamwangamiza kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake.
And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.
31 Hamtafanya kazi kamwe. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo popote mnapoishi.
You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings.
32 Ni Sabato ya mapumziko kwenu ninyi, na lazima mfunge. Tangu jioni ya siku ya tisa ya mwezi hadi jioni inayofuata, mtaishika Sabato yenu.”
It is a sabbath of rest, and you shell afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.
33 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
34 “Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Katika siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba, Sikukuu ya Bwana ya vibanda itaanza, nayo itaadhimishwa kwa siku saba.
Say to the children of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month, shall be kept the feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord.
35 Siku ya kwanza ni kusanyiko takatifu, msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord.
36 Kwa siku saba toeni sadaka kwa Bwana za kuteketezwa kwa moto. Kwenye siku ya nane fanyeni kusanyiko takatifu, na mtoe sadaka kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto. Ni kusanyiko la mwisho, msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord: for it is the day of assembly and congregation: you shall do no servile work therein.
37 (“‘Hizi ni sikukuu za Bwana zilizoamriwa, ambazo mtazitangaza kuwa makusanyiko matakatifu kwa kuleta sadaka kwa Bwana za kuteketeza kwa moto: sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za nafaka, dhabihu na sadaka za vinywaji zitahitajika kila siku.
These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord, holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day,
38 Sadaka hizi ni nyongeza ya zile mnazozitoa katika Sabato za Bwana, na pia ni nyongeza ya matoleo yenu ya chochote mlichoweka nadhiri, na sadaka zenu zote za hiari mnazozitoa kwa Bwana.)
Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.
39 “‘Basi kuanzia siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba, baada ya kuvuna mazao yote ya nchi, mtaadhimisha sikukuu kwa Bwana kwa siku saba; siku ya kwanza ni mapumziko, pia siku ya nane ni mapumziko.
So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days: on the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath, that is a day of rest.
40 Siku ya kwanza mtachukua matunda mazuri ya miti, matawi ya mitende, matawi yenye majani mengi, na matawi ya mirebi, nanyi mtashangilia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu kwa siku saba.
And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
41 Mtaadhimisha siku hii kuwa sikukuu kwa Bwana kwa siku saba kila mwaka. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo; iadhimisheni mwezi wa saba.
And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.
42 Mtaishi katika vibanda kwa siku saba: Wazawa wote wa Waisraeli wataishi katika vibanda,
And you shall dwell in bowers seven days: every one that is of the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles:
43 ili wazao wenu wajue kuwa niliwafanya Waisraeli waishi kwenye vibanda nilipowatoa Misri. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
44 Kwa hiyo Mose akawatangazia Waisraeli sikukuu zilizoamriwa na Bwana.
And Moses spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel.
