< Mambo ya Walawi 9 >

1 Katika siku ya nane, Mose akawaita Aroni na wanawe, na wazee wa Israeli.
Eight days later, Moses/I summoned the elders of Israel.
2 Akamwambia Aroni, “Chukua ndama dume kwa ajili ya sadaka yako ya dhambi, na kondoo dume kwa sadaka yako ya kuteketezwa, wote wawili wasiwe na dosari, nao uwalete mbele za Bwana.
Then he/I said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for the offering to enable you leaders to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and a ram to be completely burned [on the altar], both of them without any defects, and offer them to Yahweh.
3 Kisha waambie Waisraeli: ‘Chukueni mbuzi dume kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na ndama na mwana-kondoo, wote wawili wawe wa umri wa mwaka mmoja, na wasio na dosari, kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa,
Then say to the Israeli people, ‘Take one male goat for the offering to enable you all to be forgiven for the sins you have committed. Also take a calf and a lamb that have no defects, to be an offering completely burned [on the altar].
4 na pia maksai na kondoo dume kwa ajili ya sadaka ya amani, ili kutoa dhabihu mbele za Bwana, pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka iliyochanganywa na mafuta. Kwa kuwa leo Bwana atawatokea.’”
Also take an ox and a ram to be an offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh], along with an offering of flour mixed with olive oil. Do this because today Yahweh is going to appear to you.’”
5 Wakavileta vile vitu Mose alivyowaagiza mbele ya Hema la Kukutania, nalo kusanyiko lote likakaribia na kusimama mbele za Bwana.
[After Moses/I told this to the Israeli people, some of them] took the things that Moses/I had commanded them to take, and went to the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent. Then all the people came near and stood in front of Yahweh.
6 Ndipo Mose akasema, “Hili ndilo Bwana alilowaagiza mlifanye, ili utukufu wa Bwana upate kuonekana kwenu.”
Then Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do, in order that his glory will appear to you.”
7 Mose akamwambia Aroni, “Njoo madhabahuni ili utoe dhabihu yako ya sadaka ya dhambi na sadaka yako ya kuteketezwa, ufanye upatanisho kwa ajili yako mwenyewe na kwa ajili ya watu. Kisha utoe sadaka ya upatanisho kwa ajili ya watu, kama vile Bwana alivyoagiza.”
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice the animal that is your offering to enable you to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and the animal that will be completely burned there. Because of those offerings, God will forgive you and the people for the sins that you have committed [DOU]. Do those things that Yahweh has commanded.”
8 Hivyo Aroni akaja madhabahuni na kumchinja yule ndama kuwa sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili yake mwenyewe.
So Aaron came close to the altar and slaughtered the calf to be an offering for his sins.
9 Wanawe wakamletea damu, naye akachovya kidole chake katika hiyo damu, akaitia kwenye pembe za madhabahu, nayo damu iliyobaki akaimwaga chini ya madhabahu.
His sons brought its blood to him [in a bowl]. He dipped his finger into the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
10 Juu ya madhabahu akateketeza mafuta, figo na mafuta yanayofunika ini kutoka kwenye hiyo sadaka ya dhambi, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
He/I burned the fat, including that which covered the kidneys and the liver, as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
11 Akateketeza nyama na ngozi nje ya kambi.
Then Aaron burned [the rest of] the meat and the hide/skin outside the camp.
12 Kisha Aroni akachinja sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Wanawe wakamletea damu, naye akainyunyiza pande zote za madhabahu.
Then Aaron slaughtered the animal that would be completely burned [on the altar]. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] its blood, and he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.
13 Wakamletea sadaka ya kuteketezwa kipande kwa kipande, pamoja na kichwa, naye akaviteketeza juu ya madhabahu.
Then they handed him the head and the pieces of the animal that would be burned, and he burned them on the altar.
14 Akasafisha sehemu za ndani na miguu, akaviteketeza juu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu.
He washed the inner parts and the legs of the animal, and burned them on the altar, on top of the other pieces of the animal.
15 Kisha Aroni akaleta sadaka ile iliyokuwa kwa ajili ya watu. Akachukua yule mbuzi wa sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya watu, akamchinja na kumtoa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, kama alivyofanya kwa ile ya kwanza.
Then Aaron brought the animals that would be sacrifices for the Israeli people. He took the goat and slaughtered it to be an offering to enable them to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, like he had done with the goat for his own offering.
16 Aroni akaleta sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kuitoa kama ilivyoelekezwa.
Then he brought the animal for the offering to be completely burned. He slaughtered it and offered it in the way that Yahweh had commanded him to do.
17 Pia akaleta sadaka ya nafaka, akachukua konzi moja na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu, pamoja na sadaka ya kuteketezwa ya asubuhi.
He also brought the offering of grain. He took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, like he had done for the animal that he had slaughtered and completely burned [on the altar] in the morning.
18 Akachinja maksai na kondoo dume kama sadaka ya amani kwa ajili ya watu. Wanawe Aroni wakampa ile damu, naye akainyunyiza kwenye madhabahu pande zote.
Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, to be an offering for the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] the blood, and he sprinkled the blood against all sides of the altar.
19 Lakini sehemu zile za mafuta ya yule maksai na kondoo dume, yaani mafuta ya mkia, mafuta yaliyofunika tumbo, ya figo na yaliyofunika ini,
But he took the fat from the ox and the ram, including their fat tails that were cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covered the livers and the kidneys.
20 hivi vyote wakaviweka juu ya vidari, kisha Aroni akayateketeza hayo mafuta ya wanyama juu ya madhabahu.
He put them on top of the breasts of those animals and carried them to the altar to be burned.
21 Aroni akaviinua vile vidari na paja la kulia mbele za Bwana ili viwe sadaka ya kuinuliwa, kama Mose alivyoagiza.
Then, doing what Moses/I had commanded, he lifted up in front of Yahweh the breast and the right thigh of those animals, to signify that those two animals completely belonged to Yahweh.
22 Kisha Aroni akainua mikono yake kuwaelekea watu na kuwabariki. Naye baada ya kutoa dhabihu ya sadaka ya dhambi, sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na sadaka ya amani, akashuka chini.
Then Aaron lifted his arms toward the people and [asked Yahweh to] bless them. Then having finished making all those offerings, he stepped down [from the place where the altar was].
23 Kisha Mose na Aroni wakaingia kwenye Hema la Kukutania. Walipotoka nje, wakawabariki watu. Nao utukufu wa Bwana ukawatokea watu wote.
Then Aaron and Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent. When they/we later came out, they/we [asked Yahweh to] bless the people. And suddenly the glory/brightness of Yahweh appeared to all the people.
24 Moto ukaja kutoka uwepo wa Bwana, ukairamba ile sadaka ya kuteketezwa, pamoja na sehemu ya mafuta yaliyokuwa juu ya madhabahu. Watu wote walipoona jambo hili, wakapiga kelele kwa furaha na kusujudu.
A fire from Yahweh appeared and burned up the offering that was to be completely burned and the fat that was on the altar. And when all the people saw that, they shouted joyfully and prostrated themselves on the ground [to worship Yahweh].
