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 Passover to Yahweh your God, for in the month of Aviv Yahweh your God brought you 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.
You will sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God with some of the flock and the herd in the place that Yahweh will choose as his sanctuary.
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 will eat no leavened bread with it; seven days will you eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction; for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste. Do this all the days of your life so that you may call to mind the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.
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 must be seen among you within all your borders during seven days; nor must any of the meat that you sacrifice in the evening on the first day remain until the morning.
5 Msitoe dhabihu ya pasaka kati ya malango yenu ya ndani ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa.
You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving 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.
Instead, sacrifice at the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary. There you will perform the sacrifice of the Passover in the evening at the going down of the sun, at the time of year that you came out of Egypt.
7 Mtapaswa kuichoma na kuila katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wenu atachagua; asubuhi mtageuka na kwenda kwenye mahema yenu.
You must roast it and eat it at the place that Yahweh your God will choose; in the morning you will turn and go 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.
For six days you will eat unleavened bread; on the seventh day there will be a solemn assembly for Yahweh your God; on that day you must do no work.
9 Mtahesabu wiki saba kwa ajili yenu; tangu wakati mlipoanza kuweka mundu kwenye nafaka iliyosimama mtapaswa kuanza kuhesabu wiki saba.
You will count seven weeks for yourselves; from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you must start counting 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 must keep the Festival of Weeks for Yahweh your God with the contribution of a freewill offering from your hand that you will give, according as Yahweh your God has blessed 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 will rejoice before Yahweh your God—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your city gates, and the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that Yahweh your God will choose for his sanctuary.
12 Utakumbuka akilini kwamba ulikuwa mtumwa Misri; unapaswa kuangalia na kuzishika amri hizi.
You will call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt; you must 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 must keep the Festival of Shelters for seven days after you have gathered in the harvest from your threshing floor and from your winepress.
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 will rejoice during your festival—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless 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.
For seven days you must observe the festival for Yahweh your God at the place that Yahweh will choose, because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your harvest and all the work of your hands, and you must be completely 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 your males must appear before Yahweh your God at the place that he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Shelters. No one will appear before Yahweh empty-handed;
17 badala yake, kila mtu atatoa kama awezavyo, kwamba mtajua baraka kwamba Yahwe Mungu wako amekupa.
instead, every man will give as he is able, that you might know the blessing that Yahweh your God has given to 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 must make judges and officers within all your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you; they will be taken from each of your tribes, and they must 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 must not take justice away by force; you must not show partiality nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts 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.
You must follow after justice, after justice alone, so that you may live and inherit the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
21 Haupaswi kujitengenezea Asherahi, aina yoyote ya mti, kando ya madhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako ambayo utakayojitengenezea.
You must not set up for yourselves an Asherah, any sort of pole, beside the altar of Yahweh your God that you will make for yourself.
22 Wala usijitengenezee jiwe takatifu la nguzo, ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako anachukia.
Neither must you set up for yourself any sacred stone pillar, which Yahweh your God hates.
