Kutoka 30
1 Nawe fanya madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba; utaifanyiza kwa mti wa mshita.
And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: [of] shittim wood shalt thou make it.
2 Urefu wake utakuwa dhiraa moja, na upana wake dhiraa moja; itakuwa mraba; na kwenda juu kwake dhiraa mbili; pembe zake zitakuwa za kitu kimoja nayo.
A cubit [shall be] its length, and a cubit its breadth; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits [shall be] its hight: its horns [shall be] of the same.
3 Nawe utaifunikiza dhahabu safi juu yake - na mbavu zake kando kando, na pembe zake. Nawe utaifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about.
4 Kisha utaifanyia pete mbili za dhahabu, chini ya ukingo wake katika mbavu zake mbili, katika pande zake mbili utazifanya; nazo zitakuwa mahali pa kuitia miti ya kuichukulia madhabahu.
And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by its two corners, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make [it]; and they shall be for places for the staffs to bear it with.
5 Na ile miti utaifanya kwa mti wa mshita, na kuifunikiza dhahabu safi.
And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 Nawe utaitia mbele ya lile pazia lililo karibu na sanduku la ushuhuda mbele ya kiti cha rehema kilicho juu ya ushuhuda, hapo nitakapokutana nawe.
And thou shalt put it before the vail that [is] by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that [is] over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7 Na Aruni atafukiza uvumba wa manukato juu yake; kila siku asubuhi. Atakapozitengeneza zile taa, ataufukiza,
And Aaron shall burn upon it sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
8 na Aruni atakapoziwasha zile taa wakati wa jioni, ataufukiza, uwe uvumba wa daima mbele za Yahweh katika vizazi vyenu vyote.
And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a perpetual incense before the LORD, throughout your generations.
9 Hamtafukiza juu yake uvumba mgeni, wala sadaka ya kuteketezwa, wala sadaka ya unga, wala hamtamimina juu yake sadaka ya kinywaji.
Ye shall offer no strange incense upon it, nor burnt-sacrifice, nor meat-offering; neither shall ye pour drink-offering upon it.
10 Naye Aruni atafanya upatanisho juu ya pembe zake mara moja kila mwaka. Kwa damu ya ile sadaka ya dhambi ya kufanya upatanisho, mara moja kila mwaka ataifanyia upatanisho, katika vizazi vyenu vyote. Ni takatifu sana kwa Yahweh.”
And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year, with the blood of the sin-offering of atonements: once in a year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it [is] most holy to the LORD.
11 BWANA akanena na Musa,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Utakapowahesabu wana wa Israeli, kama itakavyotokea hesabu yao, ndipo watakapompa BWANA kila mtu ukombozi kwa ajili ya roho yake, hapo utakapowahesabu; ili kwamba yasiwe maradhi kati yao, hapo utakapowahesabu.
When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to the LORD, when thou numberest them: that there may be no plague among them, when [thou] numberest them.
13 Kila mtu apitaye kwa wale waliohesabiwa atatoa nusu shekeli kwa kuiandama shekeli ya mahali patakatifu; (shekeli ni gera ishirini). Nusu shekeli kwa sadaka ya Yahweh.
This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs: ) a half shekel [shall be] the offering of the LORD.
14 Kila mtu apitaye kwa wale waliohesabiwa tangu huyo ambaye umri wake ni miaka ishirini, au zaidi, atatoa hiyo sadaka kwangu.
Every one that passeth among them that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD.
15 Watu watakapo leta hii sadaka kwangu kufanya upatananisho, matajiri hawataleta zaidi, wala maskini hawataleta kilichopungua katika hiyo nusu shekeli.
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when [they] give an offering to the LORD to make an atonement for your souls.
16 Nawe utapokea hizo fedha za upatanisho mikononi mwa hao wana wa Israeli, na kuziweka kwa ajili ya utumishi wa hema ya kukutania. Ili kwamba ziwe ukumbusho kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli mbele yangu ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya roho zenu.
And thou shalt take the atonement-money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
17 Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Fanya na birika la shaba, na tako lake la shaba, ili kuogea; nawe utaliweka kati ya hema ya kukutania na madhabahu, nawe utalitia maji.
Thou shalt also make a laver [of] brass, and its foot [also of] brass, to wash [in]: [and] thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
19 Na Aruni na wanawe wataosha mikono yao na miguu yao humo.
For Aaron and their sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
20 Hapo waingiapo ndani ya hema ya kukutania au waendepo karibu na madhabahu kunitumikia kwa kuchoma sadaka, watajiosha majini, ili wasife.
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not: or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to the LORD.
21 Basi wataosha mikono yao na miguu yao ili kwamba wasife; na neno hili litakuwa amri kwao milele, kwake yeye na kwa wazao wake katika vizazi vyao vyote.
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, [even] to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa,
Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Jitwalie manukato yaliyo bora, manemane mbichi shekeli mia tano, na mdalasini wenye harufu nzuri 250, na kane shekeli 250
Take thou also to thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half as much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels],
24 na kida shekeli mia tano, kwa kuiandama shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, na mafuta ya zeituni kiasi cha vibaba vitano.
And of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive-oil a hin:
25 Nawe utayafanya mafuta ya kutiwa matakatifu, marhamu iliyochanganywa kwa kazi ya ustadi ya mtengezaji manukato; yatakuwa ni mafuta matakatifu ya kutiwa.
And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 Nawe utaipaka hema ya kukutania kwa mafuta hayo, na hilo sanduku la ushuhuda,
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation with it, and the ark of the testimony,
27 na hiyo meza, na vyombo vyake vyote, na kinara cha taa, na vyombo vyake,
And the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of incense,
28 na madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba, na madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka, pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote, na birika, na tako lake.
And the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot.
29 Nawe utavitakasa vitu hivyo, ili viwe vitakatifu sana; tena kila kivigusacho vyombo vile kitakuwa kitakatifu.
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy.
30 Nawe utawatia mafuta Aruni na wanawe, na kuwatakasa, ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that [they] may minister to me in the priest's office.
31 Nawe utanena na wana wa Israeli na kuwaambia, Haya yatakuwa ni mafuta matakatifu ya kutiwa kwa ajili yangu mimi katika vizazi vyenu vyote.
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to me, throughout your generations.
32 Hayatamiminwa katika kiwiliwili cha binadamu, wala msifanye mengine mfano wa haya kama yalivyoungwa kwa viungo vyake; ni matakatifu, na kwenu ninyi yatakuwa matakatifu.
Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make [any other] like it, after the composition of it: it [is] holy, [and] it shall be holy to you.
33 Mtu awaye yote atakayechanganya mafuta mfano wa haya, au mtu awaye yote atakayetia mafuta haya juu ya mgeni, mtu huyo atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.'”
Whoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whoever putteth [any] of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
34 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Jitwalie manukato mazuri, yaani, natafi, na shekelethi, na kelbena; viungo vya manukato vizuri pamoja na ubani safi; vitu hivyo vyote na viwe vya kipimo kimoja.
And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these] sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like [weight]:
35 Nawe utafanya uvumba wa vitu hivyo, manukato ya kazi ya ustadi wa mtengenazaji manukato, yatakuwa yamekolea, safi, matakatifu.
And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure [and] holy:
36 Nawe baadhi yake utayaponda sana, na kuyaweka mbele ya ushuhuda ndani ya hema ya kukutania, hapo nitakapokutana nawe; nayo yatakuwa kwenu matakatifu sana.
And thou shalt beat [some] of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be to you most holy:
37 Na uvumba utakaofanya, hamtajifanyia uvumba wenye viungo sawasawa na uvumba huo; utakuwa kwenu mtakatifu kwa ajili yangu.
And [as for] the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to its composition: it shall be to thee holy for the LORD.
38 Mtu ye yote atakayefanya mfano wa huo, ili kuunusa, mtu huyo atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.
Whoever shall make the like to that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
