Torati 16
1 Angalia mwezi wa Abibu, na uishike pasaka ya Yahwe Mungu wako, kwa kuwa katika mwezi wa Abibu Yahwe Mungu wako alikuleta toka Misri usiku.
Thou shalt keepe the moneth of Abib, and thou shalt celebrate the Passeouer vnto the Lord thy God: for in the moneth of Abib ye Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night.
2 Utamtolea dhabibu ya pasaka Yahwe Mungu wako na baadhi ya mifugo na wanyama kwenye eneo ambalo Yahwe atachagua kama patakatifu pake.
Thou shalt therefore offer the Passeouer vnto the Lord thy God, of sheepe and bullockes in the place where the Lord shall chose to cause his Name to dwell.
3 Hautakula mkate wa chachu pamoja nayo, siku saba utakula mkate usio na chachu, mkate wa mateso; kwa kuwa mlitoka katika nchi ya Misri kwa haraka. Fanya haya katika siku zako zote za maisha yako ili uweze kukumbuka akilini siku mliotoka nchi ya Misri.
Thou shalt eate no leauened bread with it: but seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleauened bread therewith, euen the bread of tribulation: for thou camest out of the land of Egypt in haste, that thou maist remember ye day whe thou camest out of the land of Egypt, all the dayes of thy life.
4 Hakuna chachu inapaswa kuonekana miongoni mwenu ndani ya mipaka yenu wakati wa siku saba; wala nyama yoyote mnayotoa dhabihu jioni kwa siku ya kwanza inabaki mpaka asubuhi.
And there shalbe no leauen seene with thee in all thy coastes seuen dayes long: neither shall there remaine the night any of the flesh vntil the morning which thou offeredst ye first day at euen.
5 Msitoe dhabihu ya pasaka kati ya malango yenu ya ndani ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa.
Thou maist not offer ye Passeouer within any of thy gates, which ye Lord thy God giueth thee:
6 Badala yake, toa dhabihu katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wenu atachagua kama patakatifu pake. Hapo mtatoa dhabihu ya pasaka jioni wakati jua linazama, kwa wakati huo wa mwaka mlitoka Misri.
But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his Name, there thou shalt offer the Passeouer at euen, about the going downe of the sunne, in the season that thou camest out of Egypt.
7 Mtapaswa kuichoma na kuila katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wenu atachagua; asubuhi mtageuka na kwenda kwenye mahema yenu.
And thou shalt roste and eate it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and shalt returne on the morowe, and goe vnto thy tentes.
8 Kwa siku sita mtakula mkate usiotia chachu; katika siku ya saba kutakuwa na kusanyiko makini kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wenu; katika siku hiyo hamtafanya kazi.
Six daies shalt thou eate vnleauened bread, and ye seuenth day shall be a solemne assemblie to ye Lord thy God thou shalt do no worke therein.
9 Mtahesabu wiki saba kwa ajili yenu; tangu wakati mlipoanza kuweka mundu kwenye nafaka iliyosimama mtapaswa kuanza kuhesabu wiki saba.
Seuen weekes shalt thou nomber vnto thee, and shalt beginne to nomber ye seuen weekes, when thou beginnest to put the sickel to ye corne:
10 Mtapaswa kushika wiki za sherehe ya Yahwe Mungu wenu pamoja na mchango wa sadaka ya utayari kutoka mkono wako ambayo utatoa, kulingana na Yahwe alivyokubariki.
And thou shalt keepe the feast of weekes vnto the Lord thy God, euen a free gift of thine hand, which thou shalt giue vnto the Lord thy God, as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
11 Utafurahi mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako- wewe, kijana wako, binti wako, mjakazi wako wa kiume, mjakazi wako wa kike, Mlawi aliye katika malango yako, na mgeni, yatima, na mjane alio miongoni mwenu, katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako atachagua kwa ajili ya patakatifu pake.
And thou shalt reioyce before the Lord thy God, thou and thy sonne, and thy daughter, and thy seruant, and thy maide, and the Leuite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherles, and the widowe, that are among you, in the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse to place his Name there,
12 Utakumbuka akilini kwamba ulikuwa mtumwa Misri; unapaswa kuangalia na kuzishika amri hizi.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a seruant in Egypt: therefore thou shalt obserue and doe these ordinances.
13 Unapaswa kushika sherehe za vibanda kwa siku saba baada ya kuwa mmekusanya mavuno toka kwenye sakafu ya mapura na kutoka kwenye kinu chako cha divai.
Thou shalt obserue the feast of the Tabernacles seuen daies, when thou hast gathered in thy corne, and thy wine.
14 Utafurahi wakati wa sherehe- wewe, kijana wako, binti wako, mjakazi wako wa kiume, mjakazi wako wa kike, Mlawi, na mgeni, na yatima na mjane walio ndani ya malango yako.
And thou shalt reioyce in thy feast, thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, and thy seruant, and thy maid, and the Leuite, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
15 Kwa siku saba unapaswa kuangalia sherehe ya Yahwe Mungu wako katika eneo ambalo Yahwe atachagua, kwa sababu Yahwe Mungu wako atakubariki katika mavuno yako yote na kazi ya mikono yako yote, na unapaswa kuwa na furaha kabisa.
Seuen daies shalt thou keepe a feast vnto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall chuse: when the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in all thine increase, and in all the workes of thine hands, thou shalt in any case be glad.
16 Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wako wote wanapaswa kuonekana mbele za Yahwe Mungu wako katika eneo ambalo atachagua: katika sherehe ya mkate usiotiwa chachu, katika sherehe za wiki, na sherehe ya vibanda; na hawataonekana mbele za Yahwe mikono mitupu;
Three times in the yeere shall all the males appeare before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall chuse: in the feast of the vnleauened bread, and in the feast of the weekes, and in the feast of the Tabernacles: and they shall not appeare before the Lord emptie.
17 badala yake, kila mtu atatoa kama awezavyo, kwamba mtajua baraka kwamba Yahwe Mungu wako amekupa.
Euery man shall giue according to the gift of his hand, and according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath giuen thee.
18 Unapaswa kufanya waamuzi na maakida ndani ya malango yako ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anakupa; watachukuliwa toka kila kabila, and watahukumu watu kwa hukumu ya haki.
Iudges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy cities, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall iudge the people with righteous iudgement.
19 Haupaswi kuiondoa haki kwa nguvu; haupaswi kuonesha upendeleo wala kuchukua rushwa, kwa kuwa rushwa upofusha macho ya hekima na kupotosha maneno ya haki.
Wrest not thou ye Law, nor respect any person, neither take rewarde: for the reward blindeth ye eyes of the wise, and peruerteth ye worde of ye iust.
20 Unapaswa kufata baada ya haki, baada ya haki peke yake, ili kwamba uishi na kurithi nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anakupa.
That which is iust and right shalt thou follow, that thou maiest liue, and possesse the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
21 Haupaswi kujitengenezea Asherahi, aina yoyote ya mti, kando ya madhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako ambayo utakayojitengenezea.
Thou shalt plant thee no groue of any trees neere vnto the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
22 Wala usijitengenezee jiwe takatifu la nguzo, ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako anachukia.
Thou shalt set thee vp no pillar, which thing the Lord thy God hateth.
