Kutoka 30
1 Nawe fanya madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba; utaifanyiza kwa mti wa mshita.
“You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.
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.
Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
3 Nawe utaifunikiza dhahabu safi juu yake - na mbavu zake kando kando, na pembe zake. Nawe utaifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold moulding around it.
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.
You shall make two golden rings for it under its moulding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.
5 Na ile miti utaifanya kwa mti wa mshita, na kuifunikiza dhahabu safi.
You shall make the poles of acacia 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.
You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the covenant, before the mercy seat that is over the covenant, where I will meet with you.
7 Na Aruni atafukiza uvumba wa manukato juu yake; kila siku asubuhi. Atakapozitengeneza zile taa, ataufukiza,
Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 na Aruni atakapoziwasha zile taa wakati wa jioni, ataufukiza, uwe uvumba wa daima mbele za Yahweh katika vizazi vyenu vyote.
When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn 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.
You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on 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.”
Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD.”
11 BWANA akanena na Musa,
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 you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are counted amongst them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to the LORD when you count them, that there be no plague amongst them when you count 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.
They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are counted, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs); half a shekel for an offering to the LORD.
14 Kila mtu apitaye kwa wale waliohesabiwa tangu huyo ambaye umri wake ni miaka ishirini, au zaidi, atatoa hiyo sadaka kwangu.
Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the 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 the half shekel, when they give the offering of the LORD, to make 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.
You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.”
17 Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
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.
“You shall also make a basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19 Na Aruni na wanawe wataosha mikono yao na miguu yao humo.
Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.
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 Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an 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 not die. This shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants 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
“Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
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, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.
25 Nawe utayafanya mafuta ya kutiwa matakatifu, marhamu iliyochanganywa kwa kazi ya ustadi ya mtengezaji manukato; yatakuwa ni mafuta matakatifu ya kutiwa.
You shall make it into a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 Nawe utaipaka hema ya kukutania kwa mafuta hayo, na hilo sanduku la ushuhuda,
You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant,
27 na hiyo meza, na vyombo vyake vyote, na kinara cha taa, na vyombo vyake,
the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, 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.
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.
29 Nawe utavitakasa vitu hivyo, ili viwe vitakatifu sana; tena kila kivigusacho vyombo vile kitakuwa kitakatifu.
You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30 Nawe utawatia mafuta Aruni na wanawe, na kuwatakasa, ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify 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.
You shall 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.
It shall not be poured on man’s flesh, and do not make any like it, according to its composition. It is holy. 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 compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, onycha, and galbanum: sweet spices with pure frankincense. There shall be an equal weight of each.
35 Nawe utafanya uvumba wa vitu hivyo, manukato ya kazi ya ustadi wa mtengenazaji manukato, yatakuwa yamekolea, safi, matakatifu.
You shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, 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.
You shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the covenant in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. 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.
You shall not make this incense, according to its composition, for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for the LORD.
38 Mtu ye yote atakayefanya mfano wa huo, ili kuunusa, mtu huyo atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.
Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
