< Mambo ya Walawi 12 >
1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “zungumza na watu wa Israeli, uwaambie, 'endapo mwanamke anakuwa mjamzito na kujifungua mtoto wa kiume, naye atakuwa najisi kwa muda wasiku saba, ni kama tu vile anavyokuwa najisi katika siku za kipindi chake kwa mwezi.
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a male child: then shall she be unclean seven days, even as in the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
3 Katika siku ya nane nyama ya govi la mtoto mvulana itatahiriwa.
And on the eighth day shall the flesh of his foreskin be circumcised.
4 Kisha utakaso wa mama wa kutokwa damu yake utaendelea kwa muda wa siku tatu. Haimpasi kugusa kitu chochote kilicho kitakatifu au kukaribia eneo la hema mpaka zitakapomalizika siku za kutakaswa kwake.
And thirty and three days shall she then continue in the blood of her purification; any thing hallowed shall she not touch, and into the sanctuary shall she not come, until the days of her purification be at an end.
5 Lakini kama atajifungua mtoto wa kike, naye atakuwa najisi kwa mud wa majuma mawili, kama alivyo wakati wa kipindi chake. Kisha utakaso wa mama utaendelea kwa siku sitini sita.
But if she bear a female child, then shall she be unclean two weeks as in her separation; and sixty and six days shall she continue in the blood of the purification.
6 Siku za kutakaswa kwake zitakapoisha, kwa ajili ya mwana au binti, atalazimika kuleta kwa kuhani mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na kinda la njiwa au huwa kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, mbele ya ingilio la hema la kukutania,
And at the completion of the days of her purification, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a sheep of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest.
7 Kisha atawatoa mbele za Yahweh na kufanya sadaka ya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atatakaswa kutokana kutiririka kwa damu yake. Hii ndiyo sheria kuhusu mwanamke aifunguaye ama mtoto wa kiume au wa kike.
And he shall bring it near before the Lord, and make an atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood: this is the law for her that hath given birth to a male or to a female.
8 Na kama hana uwezo wa kutoa mwana-kondoo, naye ataleta makinda mawili ya njiwa ua hua, mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na mwingine kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake; naye atakuwa safi.”
And if her means will not suffice for a lamb, then shall she take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
