< Mambo ya Walawi 10 >
1 Nadabu na Abihu, wana wa Aroni, wakachukua kila mtu kifukizo chake, akaweka moto ndani yake, na kisha uvumba. Kisha wakatoa moto usiokuabalika mbele za Yahweh, moto ambao hakuwaamru wao kuutoa.
Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command.
2 Kwa hiyo moto ukashuka chini mbele za Yahweh na kuwala, nao wakafa mbele za Yahweh.
So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.
3 Kisha Musa akamwambia Aroni, Hivi ndiyo Yahweh alivyokuwa akizunguzia aliposema, 'Nitaufunua utakatifu wangu kwa wale wajao mbele zangu. Nami nitatukuzwa mbele za watu wote.'” Naye Aroni hakusema neno lolote.
Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said: ‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent.
4 Musa akamwita Mishaeli na Elzafani, wana wa Uzieli mjomba wa Aroni, naye akamwambia, “njoo huku na uwatowe ndugu zako nje ya kambi watoke mbele ya hema.”
Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”
5 Hivyo wakakaribia na kuwachukua wangali wamevaa kanzu zao za kikuhani, nao wakawapeleka nje ya kambi, kama Musa alivyokuwa ameelekeza. Kisha Musa akamwambia Aroni na wanawe wengine wawili, Eliezari na Ithamari, “
So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.
6 Msiache wazi nywele za vichwa vyenu, wala msirarue nguo zenu, ili kwamba msije mkafa, na kwamba Yahweh asilikasirikie kusanyiko zima. Lakini waacheni jamaa zenu, nyumba yote ya Israeli waweze kufanya ibada za maombolezo kwa ajili ya hao ambao Yahweh amewaangamiza kwa moto.
Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited.
7 Msiende nje kutoka kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania, ama sivyo mtakufa, kwa kuwa mafuta ya Yahweh ya upako yako juu yenu.” Kwa hiyo wakatenda sawasawa na maelekezo ya Musa.
You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.
8 Mungu akazungumza na Aroni, akisema,
Then the LORD said to Aaron,
9 “Msinywe mvinyo wala kinywaji kikali, wewe, au wanao wanaobaki pamoja nawe, ili kwamba mtakapoingia kwenye hema ya kukutania msije mkafa. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu,
“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.
10 ili kupaambanua kati ya mambo matakatifu na mambo ya kawaida, na kati ya najisi na safi,
You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean,
11 ili kwamba mweze kuwafundisha watu wa Israeli amri zote ambazo Yahweh ameziamru kwa kinywa cha Musa.
so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”
12 Musa akazungumza na Aroni na wanawe wawili waliosalia; Eliazari naIthamari, Twaeni sadaka ya nafaka inayobaki kutokana na sadaka ifanywayo kwa Yahweh kwa moto, nanyi ileni kando ya madhabahu bila hamiara, kwa kuwa ni takatifu sana.
And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.
13 lazima mtaila mahali patatifu kwa sababu huo ni mgao wako wewe na mgao wa wanao wa matoleo yaliyofanywa kwa Yahweh kwa moto, kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo limeamriwa niwaambie.
You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.
14 Kile kidari kitikiswacho na lile paja ambalo hutolewa kwa Yahweh, yapasa mzile mahali palipo safi panapokubalika kwa Mungu. Wewe mwenyewe, wanao na binti zako waliopamoja nawe mtakula sehemu hizo, kwa kuwa zimetolewa kuwa mgao wako na mgao wa wanao kutokana na dhabihu ya sadaka ya ushirika wa watu wa Israeli.
And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.
15 Lile paja lililotolewa na kidari kilichotikiswa, ni lazima ziletwe pamoja na sadaka ya mafuta iliyofanywa kwa moto, ili kutikiswa mbele za Yahweh. Nazo zitakuwa zako wewe na wanao kuwa mgao wenu daima, kama Yahweh alivyoamru.
They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”
16 Kisha Musa akauliza kuhusu yule mbuzi wa sadaka ya dhambi, naye akagundua kwamba alikuwa ametekezwa kwa moto. Kwa hiyo akawakasirikia Eliazari na Ithamari, wana wa Aroni waliosalia; akawaambia,
Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,
17 “Kwa nini hamjaila sadaka ya dhambi katika eneo la hema, kwa kuwa ni takatifu sana, na kwa kuwa Yahweh amishaitoa kwenu ili kuchukua uovu wa kusanyiko, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa aijli yao mbele zake?
“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.
18 Tazama, damu yake haikuletwa ndani ya hema, kwa hiyo iliwapasa kwa hakika kuwa mekwisha ila kwenye eneo la hema, kama nilivyoagiza?
Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”
19 Kisha Aroni akamjibu Musa, “Tazama, leo walitoa sadaka yao ya dhambi na sadaka ya kuteketezwa mbele za Yahweh, na jambo hili vilevile limetendeka kwangu leo. Ikiwa nimeshakula sadaka ya dhambi leo, Je! Isingekuwa imeshapendeza mbele za Yahweh?”
But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”
20 Naye Musa aliposikia hivyo, akaridhika.
And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
