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.
Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.
3 Mnaweza kula mnyama yeyote aliye na kwato zenye kugawanyika na ambaye pia hucheua.
Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, 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 whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.
5 Pimbi pia: kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, huyo pia ni najisi kwenu.
The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.
6 Na sungura pia: kwa sababu yeye hucheua lakini hana kwato zilizogawanyika mara mbili, huyu naye ni najisi kwenu.
The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.
7 Na nguruwe pia: ingawaje yeye anazo kwato zilizogawanyika lakini hacheui, kwa hiyo yeye ni najisi kwenu.
And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.
8 Msile aina yoyote ya nyama yao, wala msiiguse mizoga yao. Hao ni najisi kwenu.
The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because 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 are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, 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.
But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
11 Kwa kuwa watakuwa chukizo, msile nyama yao, pia mizoga yao sharti itakuwa chukizo.
And detestable: their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.
12 Chochote kisichokuwa na mapezi au magamba kilichomo majini ni lazima kiwe chukizo kwenu.
All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.
13 Nao ndege mtakaowachukia na msiopaswa kuwala ni hawa wafuatao: tai, furukombe, kipungu,
Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey,
14 mwewe mwekundu, aina yoyote ya kipanga,
And the kite, and the vulture, according to their kind,
15 kila aina ya kunguru,
And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness.
16 kiruka-njia, kipasuasanda, Shakwe, na aina yoyote ya mwewe.
The ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind.
17 Ni lazima pia bundi mdogo na bundi mkubwa muwaone kuwa chukizo, mnandi,
The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis,
18 bundi mweupe na mwari,
And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion,
19 korongo na ina zote za koikoi, huduhudi na popo pia.
The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.
20 Wadudu wote wenye mabawa wanatembea kwa miguu minne kwenu ni machukizo.
Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.
21 Lakini manaweza kula wadudu wenye mabawa wanaotembea kwa miguu minne ya kurukia ardhini yenye vifundo.
But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,
22 Na manaweza kula kula aina zote za nzige, senene, parare, au panzi.
That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.
23 Lakini wadudu wote warukao wenye miguu minne ni chulkizo kwenu.
But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:
24 Nanyi mtakuwa najisi hata jioni kutokana na wanyama hawa endapo mtagusa mizogo yao.
And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled, and 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 if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead, he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set.
26 Mnyama yeyote ambaye anazo kwato ziliachana ambazo hazikugawanyika kabisa au hacheui huyo ni najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa najisi.
Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.
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.
That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until 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 shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things 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,
These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:
30 kenge, mijusi ya ukutani, goromoe, na kinyonga.
The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and the lizard, and the mole:
31 Wanyama hawa wote ambao hutambaa, hawa ndiyo watakuwa najisi kwenu. Yeyote awagusaye atakuwa njisi hata jioni.
All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses 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 what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is done, they shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards 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.
But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall fall, shall be defiled, and therefore is to be broken.
34 Vyakula vyote ambavyo ni safi na kilichuhusiwa kuliwa, lakini kikaingiwa na maji kutoka kwenye chungu najisi kilichoanguka, nacho kitakuwa najisi.
Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk out of 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 upon whatsoever thing any of these dead beasts shall fall, it shall be unclean: whether it be oven, or pots with feet, they shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.
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.
But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings together of waters shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be defiled.
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.
If it fall upon seed corn, it shall not defile it.
38 Lakini kama maji yanawekwa juu ya mbegu, na kama sehemu ya mzoga unaangukia juu yake, nazo zitakuwa najisi kwenu.
But if any man pour water upon the seed, and afterwards it be touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith defiled.
39 Iwapo mnyama yeyote awezaye kuliwa anakufa, naye yeyote amgusaye atakuwa najisi hata jioni.
If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, 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 that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening.
41 Kila mnyama atambaaye juu ya ardhi atakuwa chukizo; hatakuwa wa kuliwa.
All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable, neither shall it be taken for meat.
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.
Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.
43 Msijinajisi wenyewe kwa kiumbe chochote nnajisi kitaambacho; msijinasi wenyewe kwavyo, ili kwamba msije mkachafuliwa navyo.
Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest you be unclean,
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: be holy because I am holy. Defile not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth 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 out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
46 Hii ndiyo sheria kuhusu wanyama, ndege, kila kiumbe hai kiendacho majini, na ya kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya nchi,
You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth 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.”
That you may know the differences of the clean, and unclean, and know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse.
