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 unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.
3 Mnaweza kula mnyama yeyote aliye na kwato zenye kugawanyika na ambaye pia hucheua.
Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts — that shall 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.
Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
5 Pimbi pia: kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, huyo pia ni najisi kwenu.
and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
6 Na sungura pia: kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, huyu naye ni najisi kwenu.
and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
7 Na nguruwe pia: ingawaje yeye anazo kwato zilizogawanyika lakini hacheui, kwa hiyo yeye ni najisi kwenu.
and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you.
8 Msile aina yoyote ya nyama yao, wala msiiguse mizoga yao. Hao ni najisi kwenu.
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.
9 Nao wanyama waishio majini mnaoweza kuwala ni wale wote walio na mapezi na magamba, iwe waliomo baharini au mitoni.
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall 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.
but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters — they shall be an abomination unto you.
11 Kwa kuwa watakuwa chukizo, msile nyama yao, pia mizoga yao sharti itakuwa chukizo.
They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.
12 Chochote kisichokuwa na mapezi au magamba kilichomo majini ni lazima kiwe chukizo kwenu.
Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13 Nao ndege mtakaowachukia na msiopaswa kuwala ni hawa wafuatao: tai, furukombe, kipungu,
And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
14 mwewe mwekundu, aina yoyote ya kipanga,
and the falcon, and the kite, 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 female ostrich and the male ostrich, 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 owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,
18 bundi mweupe na mwari,
and the swan, 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.
Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.
21 Lakini manaweza kula wadudu wenye mabawa wanaotembea kwa miguu minne ya kurukia ardhini yenye vifundo.
Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those 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.
These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.
23 Lakini wadudu wote warukao wenye miguu minne ni chulkizo kwenu.
But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.
24 Nanyi mtakuwa najisi hata jioni kutokana na wanyama hawa endapo mtagusa mizogo yao.
And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
25 Na yeyote atakayeokota mojawapo wa mizoga yao ni lazima atazifua ngua zake naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.
26 Mnyama yeyote ambaye anazo kwato ziliachana ambazo hazikugawanyika kabisa au hacheui huyo ni najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa najisi.
Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth 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 goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
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 carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.
29 Kuhusiana na wanyama wataambaao juu ya ardhi, hawa ndiyo walio najisi kwenu: kicheche, panya, aina zote za mijusi mikubwa, guruguru,
And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;
30 kenge, mijusi ya ukutani, goromoe, na kinyonga.
and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.
31 Wanyama hawa wote ambao hutambaa, hawa ndiyo watakuwa najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa njisi hata jioni.
These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
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 any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done — it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it 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 falleth — 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 that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel.
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 where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto 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 spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase 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 part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to 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 have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 Iwapo mnyama yeyote awezaye kuliwa anakufa, naye yeyote amgusaye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
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 eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.
41 Kila mnyama atambaaye juu ya ardhi atakuwa chukizo; hatakuwa wa kuliwa.
And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be 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 goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth — these 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 through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
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; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on 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 cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth 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 make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.
