Mambo ya Walawi 24
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Waagize Waisraeli wakuletee mafuta safi ya zeituni yaliyokamuliwa kwa ajili ya mwanga ili taa ziwe zinawaka daima.
Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,
3 Nje ya pazia la Ushuhuda ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, Aroni ataziwasha taa mbele za Bwana kuanzia jioni hadi asubuhi bila kuzima. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo.
Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.
4 Taa zilizo juu ya kinara cha dhahabu safi mbele za Bwana lazima zihudumiwe daima.
Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
5 “Chukua unga laini, uoke mikate kumi na miwili, ukitumia sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga kwa kila mkate.
And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
6 Iweke katika mistari miwili, kila mstari mikate sita, uiweke mbele za Bwana juu ya meza iliyotengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi.
And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
7 Kando ya kila mstari, weka uvumba safi kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu ili kuwakilisha mikate kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto.
And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
8 Mikate hii itawekwa mbele za Bwana kila wakati, Sabato baada ya Sabato, kwa niaba ya Waisraeli, kuwa Agano la kudumu.
Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.
9 Hii ni mali ya Aroni na wanawe, watakaoila katika mahali patakatifu, kwa sababu ni sehemu takatifu sana ya fungu lao la kawaida la sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto.”
And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.
10 Basi mwana wa mama Mwisraeli na baba Mmisri alikwenda miongoni mwa Waisraeli, nayo mapigano yakatokea ndani ya kambi kati yake na Mwisraeli.
And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;
11 Huyu mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akalikufuru Jina la Bwana kwa kulaani; kwa hiyo wakamleta kwa Mose. (Jina la mama yake aliitwa Shelomithi binti wa Dibri, wa kabila la Dani.)
And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 Nao wakamweka mahabusu mpaka mapenzi ya Bwana yawe wazi kwao.
And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
13 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose:
And the Lord said to Moses,
14 “Mchukue huyo aliyekufuru nje ya kambi. Wale wote waliomsikia akikufuru wataweka mikono juu ya kichwa chake, kisha kusanyiko lote litampiga mawe.
Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.
15 Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamlaani Mungu wake, atakuwa na hatia kwa uovu wake;
And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
16 yeyote atakayekufuru Jina la Bwana ni lazima auawe. Kusanyiko lote litampiga kwa mawe. Iwe ni mgeni au mzawa, atakapolikufuru Jina la Bwana, ni lazima auawe.
And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.
17 “‘Kama mtu yeyote atamuua mtu mwingine, ni lazima auawe.
And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
18 Mtu yeyote auaye mnyama wa mtu mwingine lazima afidie, uhai kwa uhai.
And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
19 Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamjeruhi jirani yake, chochote alichomtenda naye atatendewa:
And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
20 iwapo amemvunja mfupa atavunjwa mfupa, jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino. Kama alivyomjeruhi mwenzake, vivyo hivyo ndivyo atakavyojeruhiwa.
Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.
21 Yeyote auaye mnyama wa mtu lazima alipe fidia, lakini yeyote auaye mtu, lazima auawe.
He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.
22 Mtakuwa na sheria iyo hiyo kwa mgeni na kwa mzawa. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.
23 Kisha Mose akasema na Waisraeli, nao wakamchukua yule aliyekufuru nje ya kambi na kumpiga mawe. Waisraeli wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
