Hesabu 19
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
2 “Hivi ndivyo sheria ambayo Bwana ameagiza itakavyo: Waambie Waisraeli wakuletee mtamba mwekundu asiye na dosari wala waa, na ambaye hajapata kufungwa nira.
'This [is] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;
3 Mpeni kuhani Eleazari huyo mtamba; naye atatolewa nje ya kambi na kuchinjwa mbele yake huyo kuhani.
and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it before him.
4 Kisha kuhani Eleazari atachukua baadhi ya damu yake kwenye kidole chake na kuinyunyiza mara saba kuelekea upande wa mbele ya Hema la Kukutania.
'And Eleazar the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against the front of the tent of meeting of her blood seven times;
5 Wakati angali akitazama, mtamba huyo atateketezwa: ngozi yake, nyama yake, damu na sehemu zake za ndani.
and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;
6 Kuhani atachukua kuni za mti wa mwerezi, hisopo na sufu nyekundu, na kuvitupa kwenye huyo mtamba anayeungua.
and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the cow;
7 Baada ya hayo, kuhani lazima afue nguo zake, na aoge mwili wake kwa maji. Kisha anaweza kurudi kambini, lakini atakuwa najisi kwa kawaida ya ibada mpaka jioni.
and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening;
8 Mtu amchomaye huyo mtamba lazima naye pia afue nguo zake na kuoga kwa maji, naye pia atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the evening.
9 “Mtu ambaye ni safi atakusanya majivu ya mtamba huyo na kuyaweka mahali ambapo ni safi nje ya kambi kwa taratibu za kiibada. Yatahifadhiwa na jumuiya ya Kiisraeli kwa matumizi katika maji ya utakaso; ni kwa ajili ya kutakasa kutoka dhambini.
'And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];
10 Mtu akusanyaye majivu ya huyo mtamba ni lazima pia afue nguo zake, kadhalika naye pia atakuwa najisi hadi jioni. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa Waisraeli na kwa wageni wanaoishi miongoni mwao.
and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.
11 “Mtu yeyote agusaye maiti ya mtu yeyote atakuwa najisi kwa siku saba.
'He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is unclean seven days;
12 Ni lazima ajitakase mwenyewe kwa maji katika siku ya tatu na siku ya saba, ndipo atakuwa safi. Lakini kama hatajitakasa mwenyewe katika siku ya tatu na ya saba, hatakuwa safi.
he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.
13 Mtu yeyote agusaye maiti ya mtu yeyote na kushindwa kujitakasa mwenyewe hunajisi Maskani ya Bwana. Mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na Israeli. Kwa sababu hajanyunyiziwa maji ya utakaso, yeye ni najisi; unajisi wake unabaki juu yake.
Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still upon him.
14 “Hii ndiyo sheria itumikayo wakati mtu amekufa ndani ya hema: Yeyote aingiaye ndani ya hema hilo na yeyote aliye ndani yake watakuwa najisi kwa muda wa siku saba,
'This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is unclean seven days;
15 nacho kila chombo kisicho na kifuniko juu yake kitakuwa najisi.
and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread upon it is unclean.
16 “Mtu yeyote aliyeko nje mahali pa wazi agusaye mtu aliyeuawa kwa upanga au mtu aliyekufa kwa kifo cha kawaida, au mtu yeyote agusaye mfupa wa mtu aliyekufa au kaburi, atakuwa najisi kwa siku saba.
'And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;
17 “Kwa mtu aliye najisi, weka majivu ya sadaka ya utakaso wa dhambi ndani ya chombo, umimine maji safi juu yao.
and they have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto a vessel;
18 Kisha mtu aliye safi kwa kawaida za kiibada atachukua hisopo, achovye ndani ya maji, na kunyunyizia hema na vifaa vyote pamoja na watu ambao walikuwamo. Pia ni lazima amnyunyizie mtu yeyote ambaye amegusa mfupa wa mtu aliyekufa, au kaburi, au mtu ambaye ameuawa, au mtu ambaye amekufa kifo cha kawaida.
and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
19 Mtu ambaye ni safi ndiye atakayemnyunyizia yeyote ambaye ni najisi siku ya tatu na siku ya saba, na katika siku ya saba atamtakasa mtu huyo. Mtu ambaye ametakaswa lazima afue nguo zake na kuoga kwa maji, na jioni ile atakuwa safi.
'And the clean hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean in the evening.
20 Lakini ikiwa mtu ambaye ni najisi hakujitakasa mwenyewe, ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na jumuiya, kwa sababu ameinajisi Maskani ya Bwana. Maji ya utakaso hayajanyunyizwa juu yake, naye ni najisi.
'And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.
21 Hii ni sheria ya kudumu kwao. “Mtu yeyote ambaye ananyunyiza yale maji ya utakaso lazima pia afue nguo zake, na yeyote ambaye hugusa maji ya utakaso atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
'And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,
22 Kitu chochote anachogusa mtu aliye najisi kitakuwa najisi, na yeyote akigusaye huwa najisi mpaka jioni.”
and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.'
