Mambo ya Walawi 11
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na Aroni, akasema,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 “Sungumzeni na watu wa Israeli muwaambie, 'Hivi ndivyo viumbe vyenye uhai ambavyo mwaweza kula miongoni mwa wanyama walioko juu ya nchi.
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Mnaweza kula mnyama yeyote aliye na kwato zenye kugawanyika na ambaye pia hucheua.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
4 Hata hivyo, kuna baadhi ya wanyama ambao ama hawacheui au hana kwato zilizogawanyika, nanyi msiwale hao, wanyama kama ngamia, kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika. Kwa hiyo ngamia ni najisi kwenu.
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
5 Pimbi pia: kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, huyo pia ni najisi kwenu.
And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
6 Na sungura pia: kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, huyu naye ni najisi kwenu.
And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
7 Na nguruwe pia: ingawaje yeye anazo kwato zilizogawanyika lakini hacheui, kwa hiyo yeye ni najisi kwenu.
And the swine, because he parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
8 Msile aina yoyote ya nyama yao, wala msiiguse mizoga yao. Hao ni najisi kwenu.
Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they are unclean to you.
9 Nao wanyama waishio majini mnaoweza kuwala ni wale wote walio na mapezi na magamba, iwe waliomo baharini au mitoni.
These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.
10 Lakini viumbe wote hai wasio na mapezi na magamba waliomo baharini au mitoni, pamoja na wale waendao majini na viumbe hai waliomo majini —watakuwa chukizo kwenu.
And all that have no fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11 Kwa kuwa watakuwa chukizo, msile nyama yao, pia mizoga yao sharti itakuwa chukizo.
and they shall be an abomination to you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
12 Chochote kisichokuwa na mapezi au magamba kilichomo majini ni lazima kiwe chukizo kwenu.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
13 Nao ndege mtakaowachukia na msiopaswa kuwala ni hawa wafuatao: tai, furukombe, kipungu,
And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
14 mwewe mwekundu, aina yoyote ya kipanga,
and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
15 kila aina ya kunguru,
every raven after its kind,
16 kiruka-njia, kipasuasanda, Shakwe, na aina yoyote ya mwewe.
and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind,
17 Ni lazima pia bundi mdogo na bundi mkubwa muwaone kuwa chukizo, mnandi,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 bundi mweupe na mwari,
and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,
19 korongo na ina zote za koikoi, huduhudi na popo pia.
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 Wadudu wote wenye mabawa wanatembea kwa miguu minne kwenu ni machukizo.
All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you.
21 Lakini manaweza kula wadudu wenye mabawa wanaotembea kwa miguu minne ya kurukia ardhini yenye vifundo.
Yet these ye may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth,
22 Na manaweza kula kula aina zote za nzige, senene, parare, au panzi.
even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23 Lakini wadudu wote warukao wenye miguu minne ni chulkizo kwenu.
But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination to you,
24 Nanyi mtakuwa najisi hata jioni kutokana na wanyama hawa endapo mtagusa mizogo yao.
and by these ye shall become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
25 Na yeyote atakayeokota mojawapo wa mizoga yao ni lazima atazifua ngua zake naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
And whoever bears any of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26 Mnyama yeyote ambaye anazo kwato ziliachana ambazo hazikugawanyika kabisa au hacheui huyo ni najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa najisi.
Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 Mnyama yeyote anayetembea kwa vitanga vyake miongoni mwa wanyama waendao kwa miguu yote minne ni najisi kwenu. Yeyote agusaye mzoga kama huo atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28 Na yeyote aokotaye mzoga kama huo ni zazima atazifua nguo zake na kuwa najisi hata jioni. Wanyama hawa watakuwa najisi kwenu.
And he who bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.
29 Kuhusiana na wanyama wataambaao juu ya ardhi, hawa ndiyo walio najisi kwenu: kicheche, panya, aina zote za mijusi mikubwa, guruguru,
And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,
30 kenge, mijusi ya ukutani, goromoe, na kinyonga.
and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31 Wanyama hawa wote ambao hutambaa, hawa ndiyo watakuwa najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa njisi hata jioni.
These are those which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 Na iwapo mmoja wao anakufa na kuanguka juu ya chombo, chombo hicho kitakuwa najisi, ama kiwe kimetengenezwa kwa mbao, nguo, ngozi, au gunia. Kiwe chombo cha namna gani na kiwe kwa matumizi gani, ni lazima kitalowekwa katika maji nacho kitakuwa najisi hata jio. Kisha kitakuwa safi.
And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, then it shall be clean.
33 Kwa hiyo kila chungu ambacho mnyama najisi atakiangukia juu yake au ndani yake, chochote kilichomo kwenye chungu hicho kitakuwa najisi, na ni lazima mtakivunja chungu hicho.
And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and ye shall break it.
34 Vyakula vyote ambavyo ni safi na kilichuhusiwa kuliwa, lakini kikaingiwa na maji kutoka kwenye chungu najisi kilichoanguka, nacho kitakuwa najisi.
All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35 Na kitu chochote kinachoweza kunywewa kutoka kwenye chungu kama hicho kitakuwa najisi. Kila kitu kitakachoangukiwa juu yake na kipande cha mzoga wa mnyama najisi nacho kitakuwa najisi, ama liwe ni jiko au vyungu vya kupikia. Ni najisi na ni lazima kiwe najisi kwenu.
And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean, whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36 Chemchemi au kisima cha maji ya kunywa yanapokusanyika patabaki kuwa safi iwapo kiumbe najisi kama hicho kitaangukia humo. Lakini ikiwa yeyote anaugusa mzoga wa mnyama aliye najisi uliomo ndani ya maji, yeye atakuwa najisi.
Nevertheless a fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Iwapo sehehemu yoyote ya mzoga wa mnyama aliyenajisi inaangukia juu ya mbegu zozote zilizo kwa ajili ya kupanda. Mbegu hizo zitakuwa bado zingali safi.
And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 Lakini kama maji yanawekwa juu ya mbegu, na kama sehemu ya mzoga unaangukia juu yake, nazo zitakuwa najisi kwenu.
But if water is put upon the seed, and any of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you.
39 Iwapo mnyama yeyote awezaye kuliwa anakufa, naye yeyote amgusaye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it shall be unclean until the evening.
40 Na yeyote alaye chochote cha mzoga huo atalazimika kufua nguo zake naye atakuwa anjisi hata jioni. Na yeyote aokotaye mzoga kama huo atafua nguo zake na kuwa najisi hata jioni.
And he who eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 Kila mnyama atambaaye juu ya ardhi atakuwa chukizo; hatakuwa wa kuliwa.
And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Chochote kitambaacho kwa kujivuta juu ya tumbo lake, na chochote kitembeacho kwa miguu yake yote minne, au chochote kilicho na miguu mingi—wanyama wote ambao hutambaa juu ya nchi, hawa msiwale, kwa sababu watakuwa machukizo.
Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat, for they are an abomination.
43 Msijinajisi wenyewe kwa kiumbe chochote nnajisi kitaambacho; msijinasi wenyewe kwavyo, ili kwamba msije mkachafuliwa navyo.
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by it.
44 Kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu. Nanyi lazima muwe watakatifu, kwa hiyo na iweni watakatifu, kwa sababu Mimi ni mtakatifu. Haiwapasi kujichafua kwa aina yoyote ya kiendacho juu ya nchi.
For I am Jehovah your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and become ye holy, since I am holy. Neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moves upon the earth.
45 Kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh, aliyewaleta ninyi kutoka nchi ya Misri, ili niwe Mungu wenu. Kwa hiyo lazima muwe watakatifu, kwa kuwa Mimi ni mtakatifu.
For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 Hii ndiyo sheria kuhusu wanyama, ndege, kila kiumbe hai kiendacho majini, na ya kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya nchi,
This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth,
47 kwa jili ya kilie kinachopaswa kutofautishwa kati ya kilicho najisi na kilicho safi, na kati ya vitu vilivyokufa na vilivyo hai ambavyo vyaweza kuliwa na vitu vyenye uihai visivyoweza kuliwa.”
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
