Mambo ya Walawi 11
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na Aroni, akasema,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2 “Sungumzeni na watu wa Israeli muwaambie, 'Hivi ndivyo viumbe vyenye uhai ambavyo mwaweza kula miongoni mwa wanyama walioko juu ya nchi.
Speak you to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.
3 Mnaweza kula mnyama yeyote aliye na kwato zenye kugawanyika na ambaye pia hucheua.
Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud amongst beasts, these you shall 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.
But of these you shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
5 Pimbi pia: kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, huyo pia ni najisi kwenu.
And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this 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 it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this 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 this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8 Msile aina yoyote ya nyama yao, wala msiiguse mizoga yao. Hao ni najisi kwenu.
You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.
9 Nao wanyama waishio majini mnaoweza kuwala ni wale wote walio na mapezi na magamba, iwe waliomo baharini au mitoni.
And these [are] what you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you shall 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 things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.
11 Kwa kuwa watakuwa chukizo, msile nyama yao, pia mizoga yao sharti itakuwa chukizo.
You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.
12 Chochote kisichokuwa na mapezi au magamba kilichomo majini ni lazima kiwe chukizo kwenu.
And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
13 Nao ndege mtakaowachukia na msiopaswa kuwala ni hawa wafuatao: tai, furukombe, kipungu,
And these are the things which you shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.
14 mwewe mwekundu, aina yoyote ya kipanga,
And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
15 kila aina ya kunguru,
and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it:
16 kiruka-njia, kipasuasanda, Shakwe, na aina yoyote ya mwewe.
and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,
17 Ni lazima pia bundi mdogo na bundi mkubwa muwaone kuwa chukizo, mnandi,
and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,
18 bundi mweupe na mwari,
and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,
19 korongo na ina zote za koikoi, huduhudi na popo pia.
and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
20 Wadudu wote wenye mabawa wanatembea kwa miguu minne kwenu ni machukizo.
And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
21 Lakini manaweza kula wadudu wenye mabawa wanaotembea kwa miguu minne ya kurukia ardhini yenye vifundo.
But these you shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.
22 Na manaweza kula kula aina zote za nzige, senene, parare, au panzi.
And these of them you shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like.
23 Lakini wadudu wote warukao wenye miguu minne ni chulkizo kwenu.
Every creeping thing from amongst the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.
24 Nanyi mtakuwa najisi hata jioni kutokana na wanyama hawa endapo mtagusa mizogo yao.
And by these you shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
25 Na yeyote atakayeokota mojawapo wa mizoga yao ni lazima atazifua ngua zake naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.
26 Mnyama yeyote ambaye anazo kwato ziliachana ambazo hazikugawanyika kabisa au hacheui huyo ni najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa najisi.
And whichever amongst the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
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 every one amongst all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till 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 that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these 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] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,
30 kenge, mijusi ya ukutani, goromoe, na kinyonga.
the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.
31 Wanyama hawa wote ambao hutambaa, hawa ndiyo watakuwa najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa njisi hata jioni.
These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till 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 on whatever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and [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 one of these things shall fall, whatever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.
34 Vyakula vyote ambavyo ni safi na kilichuhusiwa kuliwa, lakini kikaingiwa na maji kutoka kwenye chungu najisi kilichoanguka, nacho kitakuwa najisi.
And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come [from such a vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any [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 every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they 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.
Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases 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 one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.
38 Lakini kama maji yanawekwa juu ya mbegu, na kama sehemu ya mzoga unaangukia juu yake, nazo zitakuwa najisi kwenu.
But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.
39 Iwapo mnyama yeyote awezaye kuliwa anakufa, naye yeyote amgusaye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till 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 that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.
41 Kila mnyama atambaaye juu ya ardhi atakuwa chukizo; hatakuwa wa kuliwa.
And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; 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.
And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet amongst all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—you shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.
43 Msijinajisi wenyewe kwa kiumbe chochote nnajisi kitaambacho; msijinasi wenyewe kwavyo, ili kwamba msije mkachafuliwa navyo.
And you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and you shall not be polluted with them, and you shall not be unclean by them.
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 the Lord your God; and you shall be sanctified, and you shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping 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 the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I the Lord 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 concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on 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 distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
