1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke anataka kuweka nadhiri maalum, nadhiri ya kutengwa kwa ajili ya Bwana kama Mnadhiri,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When a man, or woman, shall make a vow to be sanctified, and will consecrate themselves to the Lord:
3 ni lazima ajitenge na mvinyo na kinywaji kingine chochote chenye chachu, na kamwe asinywe siki itokanayo na mvinyo au itokanayo na kinywaji kingine chenye chachu. Kamwe asinywe maji ya zabibu wala kula zabibu mbichi au kavu.
They shall abstain from wine, and from every thing that may make a man drunk. They shall not drink vinegar of wine, or of any other drink, nor any thing that is pressed out of the grape: nor shall they eat grapes either fresh or dried.
4 Kwa muda wote atakaokuwa Mnadhiri, kamwe hatakula chochote kitokanacho na mzabibu, sio mbegu wala maganda.
All the days that they are consecrated to the Lord by vow: they shall eat nothing that cometh of the vineyard, from the raisin even to the kernel.
5 “‘Kwa muda wote wa nadhiri yake ya kujitenga kwa ajili ya Bwana, wembe hautapita kichwani mwake. Ni lazima awe mtakatifu mpaka kipindi cha kujitenga kwake kwa ajili ya Bwana kiishe; ni lazima aache nywele za kichwa chake zirefuke.
All the time of his separation no razor shall pass over his head, until the day be fulfilled of his consecration to the Lord. He shall be holy, and shall let the hair of his head grow.
6 Kwa kipindi chochote cha kujitenga kwa ajili ya Bwana hatakaribia maiti.
All the time of his consecration he shall not go in to any dead,
7 Hata kama baba yake mwenyewe au mama au kaka au dada akifa, hatajinajisi mwenyewe kwa taratibu za ibada kwa ajili yao, kwa sababu ishara ya kujiweka wakfu kwake kwa Mungu ipo katika kichwa chake.
Neither shall he make himself unclean, even for his father, or for his mother, or for his brother, or for his sister, when they die, because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
8 Kwa kipindi chote cha kujitenga kwake yeye ni wakfu kwa Bwana.
All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the Lord.
9 “‘Kama mtu yeyote akifa ghafula karibu naye, atakuwa ametiwa unajisi nywele zake alizoziweka wakfu, hivyo ni lazima anyoe nywele zake siku ya utakaso wake, yaani siku ya saba.
But if any man die suddenly before him: the head of his consecration shall be defiled: and he shall shave it forthwith on the same day of his purification, and again on the seventh day.
10 Kisha siku ya nane ni lazima alete hua wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwa kuhani katika mlango wa Hema la Kukutania.
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons to the priest in the entry of the covenant of the testimony.
11 Kuhani atatoa mmoja kama sadaka ya dhambi, na mwingine kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa sababu ametenda dhambi kwa kuwepo mbele ya maiti. Siku iyo hiyo atakiweka wakfu kichwa chake.
And the priest shall offer one for sin, and the other for a holocaust, and shall pray for him, for that he hath sinned by the dead: and he shall sanctify his head that day:
12 Ni lazima ajitoe kabisa kwa Bwana kwa kipindi cha kujitenga kwake, na ni lazima atoe mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja kama sadaka ya hatia. Siku zilizopita hazitahesabiwa kwa sababu alijitia unajisi katika siku zake za kujitenga.
And shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, offering a lamb of one year for sin: yet so that the former days be made void, because his sanctification was profaned.
13 “‘Basi hii ndiyo sheria kwa ajili ya Mnadhiri baada ya kipindi chake cha kujitenga kupita. Ataletwa kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
This is the law of consecration. When the days which he had determined by vow shall be expired, he shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant,
14 Hapo atatoa sadaka zake kwa Bwana: yaani, mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiye na waa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, kondoo mke wa mwaka mmoja asiye na waa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, kondoo dume asiye na waa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya amani,
And shall offer his oblation to the Lord: one he lamb of a year old without blemish for a holocaust, and one awe lamb of a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for a victim of peace offering,
15 pamoja na sadaka zake za nafaka na za vinywaji, na kikapu cha mikate isiyotiwa chachu, yaani maandazi yaliyotengenezwa kwa unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, na mikate myembamba iliyopakwa mafuta.
A basket also of unleavened bread, tempered with oil, and wafers without leaven anointed with oil, and the libations of each:
16 “‘Kuhani atavileta vitu hivyo mbele za Bwana na kufanya sadaka ya dhambi na sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
And the priest shall present them before the Lord, and shall offer both the sin offering and the holocaust.
17 Ataleta pia kikapu cha mikate isiyotiwa chachu, na atatoa dhabihu kondoo dume kama sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana, pamoja na sadaka yake ya nafaka na sadaka ya kinywaji.
But the ram he shall immolate for a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord, offering at the same time the basket of unleavened bread, and the libations that are due by custom.
18 “‘Kisha kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania, Mnadhiri ni lazima anyoe nywele zake ambazo alikuwa ameziweka wakfu. Atazichukua hizo nywele na kuziweka ndani ya moto ulio chini ya dhabihu ya sadaka ya amani.
Then shall the hair of the consecration of the Nazarite, be shaved off before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant: and he shall take his hair, and lay it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
19 “‘Baada ya Mnadhiri kunyoa hizo nywele zake za kujitenga kwake, kuhani atampa mikononi mwake bega la kondoo dume lililochemshwa, na pia andazi na mkate mwembamba kutoka kwenye kikapu, vyote vikiwa vimetengenezwa bila kuwekwa chachu.
And shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and he shall deliver them into the hands of the Nazarite, after his head is shaven.
20 Kisha kuhani ataviinua mbele za Bwana kama sadaka ya kuinua; ni vitakatifu na ni mali ya kuhani, pamoja na kile kidari kilichoinuliwa na lile paja lililotolewa. Baada ya hayo, Mnadhiri anaweza kunywa divai.
And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate them in the sight of the Lord: and they being sanctified shall belong to the priest, as the breast, which was commanded to be separated, and the shoulder. After this the Nazarite may drink wine.
21 “‘Hii ndiyo sheria ya Mnadhiri ambaye anaweka nadhiri kwa matoleo yake kwa Bwana kufuatana na kujitenga kwake, zaidi ya chochote kile anachoweza kupata. Ni lazima atimize nadhiri aliyoiweka kufuatana na sheria ya Mnadhiri.’”
This is the law of the Nazarite, when he hath vowed his oblation to the Lord in the time of his consecration, besides those things which his hand shall find, according to that which he had vowed in his mind, so shall he do for the fulfilling of his sanctification.
22 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 “Mwambie Aroni na wanawe, ‘Hivi ndivyo mtakavyowabariki Waisraeli. Waambieni:
Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the children of Israel, and you shall say to them:
24 “‘“Bwana akubariki na kukulinda;
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee.
25 Bwana akuangazie nuru ya uso wake na kukufadhili;
The Lord shew his face to thee, and have mercy on thee.
26 Bwana akugeuzie uso wake na kukupa amani.”’
The Lord turn his countenance to thee, and give thee peace.
27 “Hivyo wataliweka Jina langu juu ya Waisraeli, nami nitawabariki.”
And they shall invoke my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
