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.
Observe the month of the aviv, and keep the passover unto YHWH thy Elohim: for in the month of the aviv YHWH thy Elohim brought thee forth 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 sacrifice the passover unto YHWH thy Elohim, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose to place his name there.
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 eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days 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 shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
5 Msitoe dhabihu ya pasaka kati ya malango yenu ya ndani ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa.
Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth 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 at the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth 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 roast and eat it in the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
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 days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH thy Elohim: thou shalt do no work therein.
9 Mtahesabu wiki saba kwa ajili yenu; tangu wakati mlipoanza kuweka mundu kwenye nafaka iliyosimama mtapaswa kuanza kuhesabu wiki saba.
Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
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 keep the feast of weeks unto YHWH thy Elohim with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto YHWH thy Elohim, according as YHWH thy Elohim 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 rejoice before YHWH thy Elohim, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which YHWH thy Elohim hath chosen 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 bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
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 observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn 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 rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, 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.
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto YHWH thy Elohim in the place which YHWH shall choose: because YHWH thy Elohim shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
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 a year shall all thy males appear before YHWH thy Elohim in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before YHWH empty:
17 badala yake, kila mtu atatoa kama awezavyo, kwamba mtajua baraka kwamba Yahwe Mungu wako amekupa.
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH thy Elohim which he hath given 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.
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
19 Haupaswi kuiondoa haki kwa nguvu; haupaswi kuonesha upendeleo wala kuchukua rushwa, kwa kuwa rushwa upofusha macho ya hekima na kupotosha maneno ya haki.
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
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 altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee.
21 Haupaswi kujitengenezea Asherahi, aina yoyote ya mti, kando ya madhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako ambayo utakayojitengenezea.
Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of YHWH thy Elohim, which thou shalt make thee.
22 Wala usijitengenezee jiwe takatifu la nguzo, ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako anachukia.
Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which YHWH thy Elohim hateth.
