< Kutoka 30 >
1 Nawe fanya madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba; utaifanyiza kwa mti wa mshita.
'And thou hast made an altar [for] making perfume; [of] shittim wood thou dost 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 its length, and a cubit its breadth, (it is square), and two cubits its height; its horns [are] 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 hast overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou hast made 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 rings of gold thou dost make to it under its crown; on its two ribs thou dost make [them], on its two sides, and they have become places for staves, to bear it with them.
5 Na ile miti utaifanya kwa mti wa mshita, na kuifunikiza dhahabu safi.
'And thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid 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 hast put it before the vail, which [is] by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat which [is] over the testimony, whither I am met with thee.
7 Na Aruni atafukiza uvumba wa manukato juu yake; kila siku asubuhi. Atakapozitengeneza zile taa, ataufukiza,
'And Aaron hath made perfume on it, perfume of spices, morning by morning; in his making the lamps right he doth perfume it,
8 na Aruni atakapoziwasha zile taa wakati wa jioni, ataufukiza, uwe uvumba wa daima mbele za Yahweh katika vizazi vyenu vyote.
and in Aaron's causing the lamps to go up between the evenings, he doth perfume it; a continual perfume before Jehovah to your generations.
9 Hamtafukiza juu yake uvumba mgeni, wala sadaka ya kuteketezwa, wala sadaka ya unga, wala hamtamimina juu yake sadaka ya kinywaji.
'Ye do not cause strange perfume to go up upon it, and burnt-offering, and present, and libation ye do not pour out 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.”
and Aaron hath made atonement on its horns, once in a year, by the blood of the sin-offering of atonements; once in a year doth he make atonement for it, to your generations; it [is] most holy to Jehovah.'
11 BWANA akanena na Musa,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 up the sum of the sons of Israel for their numbers, then they have given each an atonement [for] his soul to Jehovah in their being numbered, and there is no plague among them in their being numbered.
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 do give, every one passing over unto those numbered, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs); half a shekel [is] the heave-offering to Jehovah;
14 Kila mtu apitaye kwa wale waliohesabiwa tangu huyo ambaye umri wake ni miaka ishirini, au zaidi, atatoa hiyo sadaka kwangu.
every one passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, doth give the heave-offering of Jehovah;
15 Watu watakapo leta hii sadaka kwangu kufanya upatananisho, matajiri hawataleta zaidi, wala maskini hawataleta kilichopungua katika hiyo nusu shekeli.
the rich doth not multiply, and the poor doth not diminish from the half-shekel, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, 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.
'And thou hast taken the atonement-money from the sons of Israel, and hast given it for the service of the tent of meeting; and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a memorial before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.'
17 Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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.
'And thou hast made a laver of brass (and its base of brass), for washing; and thou hast put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there;
19 Na Aruni na wanawe wataosha mikono yao na miguu yao humo.
and Aaron and his sons have washed at it their hands and their feet,
20 Hapo waingiapo ndani ya hema ya kukutania au waendepo karibu na madhabahu kunitumikia kwa kuchoma sadaka, watajiosha majini, ili wasife.
in their going in unto the tent of meeting they wash [with] water, and die not; or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister, to perfume a fire-offering to Jehovah,
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.
then they have washed their hands and their feet, and they die not, and it hath been to them a statute age-during, to him and to his seed to their generations.'
22 Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23 “Jitwalie manukato yaliyo bora, manemane mbichi shekeli mia tano, na mdalasini wenye harufu nzuri 250, na kane shekeli 250
'And thou, take to thyself principal spices, wild honey five hundred [shekels]; and spice-cinnamon, the half of that, two hundred and fifty; and spice-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 cassia five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary, and 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 hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil.
26 Nawe utaipaka hema ya kukutania kwa mafuta hayo, na hilo sanduku la ushuhuda,
'And thou hast anointed with it the tent of meeting, 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 perfume,
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 and all its vessels, and the laver and its base;
29 Nawe utavitakasa vitu hivyo, ili viwe vitakatifu sana; tena kila kivigusacho vyombo vile kitakuwa kitakatifu.
and thou hast sanctified them, and they have been most holy; all that is coming against them is holy;
30 Nawe utawatia mafuta Aruni na wanawe, na kuwatakasa, ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
and Aaron and his sons thou dost anoint, and hast sanctified them for being priests to Me.
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 unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, A holy anointing oil is this to Me, to 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.
on flesh of man it is not poured, and with its proper proportion ye make none like it; it [is] holy; it is 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.'”
a man who compoundeth [any] like it, or who putteth of it on a stranger — hath even been 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take to thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; they are part for part;
35 Nawe utafanya uvumba wa vitu hivyo, manukato ya kazi ya ustadi wa mtengenazaji manukato, yatakuwa yamekolea, safi, matakatifu.
and thou hast made it a perfume, a compound, work of a compounder, salted, pure, 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 hast beaten [some] of it small, and hast put of it before the testimony, in the tent of meeting, whither I am met with thee; most holy it is to you.
37 Na uvumba utakaofanya, hamtajifanyia uvumba wenye viungo sawasawa na uvumba huo; utakuwa kwenu mtakatifu kwa ajili yangu.
'As to the perfume which thou makest, with its proper proportion ye do not make to yourselves, holy it is to thee to Jehovah;
38 Mtu ye yote atakayefanya mfano wa huo, ili kuunusa, mtu huyo atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.
a man who maketh [any] like it — to be refreshed by it — hath even been cut off from his people.'
