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 Abib, and keep the Pesac ·Passover· to Adonai your God; for in the month of Abib Adonai your God brought you out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] by night.
2 Utamtolea dhabibu ya pasaka Yahwe Mungu wako na baadhi ya mifugo na wanyama kwenye eneo ambalo Yahwe atachagua kama patakatifu pake.
You shall sacrifice the Pesac ·Passover· to Adonai your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Adonai shall choose, to cause his name to dwell 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.
You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread· with it seven days, even the bread of affliction; for you came out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] in haste; that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] all the days of your 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.
No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
5 Msitoe dhabihu ya pasaka kati ya malango yenu ya ndani ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa.
You may not sacrifice the Pesac ·Passover· within any of your gates, which Adonai your God gives you;
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 Adonai your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Pesac ·Passover· at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
7 Mtapaswa kuichoma na kuila katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wenu atachagua; asubuhi mtageuka na kwenda kwenye mahema yenu.
You shall roast and eat it in the place which Adonai your God chooses. In the morning you shall teshuvah ·completely return· to your 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 you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Adonai your God. You shall do no work.
9 Mtahesabu wiki saba kwa ajili yenu; tangu wakati mlipoanza kuweka mundu kwenye nafaka iliyosimama mtapaswa kuanza kuhesabu wiki saba.
You shall count for yourselves seven weeks. From the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to count seven weeks.
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.
You shall keep the festival of Shavu'ot ·Weeks· / Pentacost ·Fifty· to Adonai your God with a tribute of a free will offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as Adonai your God blesses you.
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.
You shall rejoice before Adonai your God: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite [Descendant of United with] who is within your gates, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow, who are among you, in the place which Adonai your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
12 Utakumbuka akilini kwamba ulikuwa mtumwa Misri; unapaswa kuangalia na kuzishika amri hizi.
You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt [Abode of slavery]. You shall 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.
You shall keep Sukkot ·Booths· seven days, after you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your wine press.
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.
You shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow, who are within your 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.
You shall keep a feast to Adonai your God seven days in the place which Adonai chooses; because Adonai your God will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
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 all of your males shall appear before Adonai your God in the place which he chooses: in the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·, in the festival of Shavu'ot ·Weeks· / Pentacost ·Fifty·, and in the festival of Sukkot ·Booths·. They shall not appear before Adonai 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 Adonai your God’s blessing which he has given you.
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.
You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which Adonai your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous 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.
You shall not pervert mishpat ·justice·. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the upright.
20 Unapaswa kufata baada ya haki, baada ya haki peke yake, ili kwamba uishi na kurithi nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anakupa.
You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live, and inherit the land which Adonai your God gives you.
21 Haupaswi kujitengenezea Asherahi, aina yoyote ya mti, kando ya madhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako ambayo utakayojitengenezea.
You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside Adonai your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves.
22 Wala usijitengenezee jiwe takatifu la nguzo, ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako anachukia.
Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which Adonai your God hates.
