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 say to them, [Concerning] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, [even] these [are] my feasts.
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 work be done: but the seventh day [is] the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation: ye shall do no work [in it]: it [is] the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 “‘Hizi ni sikukuu za Bwana zilizoamriwa, makusanyiko matakatifu mtakayoyatangaza kwa nyakati zilizoamriwa:
These [are] the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 Pasaka ya Bwana huanza jioni ya siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza.
In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at evening [is] the LORD'S passover.
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 on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD, seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 Katika siku ya kwanza, mtakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it.
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 ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days: in the seventh day [is] a holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work [in it].
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 say to them, When ye shall have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest:
11 Naye atauinua huo mganda mbele za Bwana ili ukubaliwe kwa niaba yenu; kuhani ataupunga siku inayofuata Sabato.
And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave 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 ye shall offer, that day when ye wave the sheaf, a he-lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt-offering to 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 meat-offering thereof [shall be] two tenth-parts of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD [for] a sweet savor: and the drink-offering thereof [shall be] 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.
And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the same day that ye have brought an offering to your God: [It shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 “‘Tangu siku ile iliyofuata Sabato, siku mliyotoa sadaka ya mganda wa kuinuliwa, hesabuni majuma saba kamili.
And ye shall count to you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Mtahesabu siku hamsini mpaka siku inayofuata Sabato ya saba, ndipo mtatoa sadaka ya nafaka mpya kwa Bwana.
Even to the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat-offering 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.
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth-parts: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, [they are] the first-fruits to 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 ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be [for] a burnt-offering to the LORD, with their meat-offering, and their drink offerings, [even] an offering made by fire of a sweet savor 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.
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice 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 the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits [for] a wave-offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
21 Siku iyo hiyo mtatangaza kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo, popote mnapoishi.
And ye shall proclaim on the same day, [that] it may be a holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work [in it]. [it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your 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 ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them to the poor, and to the stranger: 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.
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 Msifanye kazi zenu zozote za kawaida, lakini toeni sadaka kwa Bwana iliyoteketezwa kwa moto.’”
Ye shall do no servile work [in it]; but ye shall offer an offering made by fire 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.
Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation to you, and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire 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.
And ye shall do no work in that same day; for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 Mtu yeyote ambaye hatafunga siku hiyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
For whatever soul [it may be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 Mtu yeyote atakayefanya kazi siku hiyo nitamwangamiza kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake.
And whatever soul [it may be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Hamtafanya kazi kamwe. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo popote mnapoishi.
Ye shall do no manner of work. [It shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your 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 [shall be] to you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls in the ninth [day] of the month at evening: from evening to evening shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
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.
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for] seven days to the LORD.
35 Siku ya kwanza ni kusanyiko takatifu, msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
On the first day [shall be] a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [in it].
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.
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [in it].
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 ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt-offering, and a meat-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, every thing upon its 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.)
Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your free-will-offerings, which ye give to the LORD.
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.
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast to the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath.
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 ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
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 ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. [It shall be] a statute for ever in your generations; ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Mtaishi katika vibanda kwa siku saba: Wazawa wote wa Waisraeli wataishi katika vibanda,
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days: all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43 ili wazao wenu wajue kuwa niliwafanya Waisraeli waishi kwenye vibanda nilipowatoa Misri. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, 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 declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
