Mambo ya Walawi 14
1 Yahwe alizungumza na Musa, akisema,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Hii itakuwa sheria kwaajili ya mtu aliyekufa kwenye siku ya utakaso. Lazima aletwe kwa kuhani.
“These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.
3 Kuhani atakwenda nje ya kambi kumchunguza mtu kuona kama madhara ya ugonjwa wa ngozi yameponywa.
The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been healed,
4 Ndipo kuhani ataamuru kwamba mtu mwenye kutakaswa lazima achukue ndege safi wawili, waliohai, mti wa mwerezi, kitani nyekundu na hisopo.
the priest will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).
5 Kuhani atamwamuru kuua moja ya hao ndege juu ya maji safi yaliyo kwenye chungu cha udongo.
Then the priest will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
6 Ndipo kuhani atamchukua ndege aliyehai na mti wa mwerezi, na kitani nyekundu na hisopo, na vyote hivi, pamoja na ndege aliyehai atavichovya kwenye damu ya ndege aliyechinjiwa kwenye maji safi.
Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.
7 Ndipo kuhani atanyunyiza maji haya mara saba juu ya mtu anayetakaswa katika ugonjwa, na ndipo kuhani atamtangaza kuwa msafi. Ndipo kuhani atamwachia ndege aliyehai katika eneo wazi.
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.
8 Mtu aliyetakaswa atafua nguo zake, atanyoa nywele zake zote, ataoga kwa maji, na ndipo atakuwa safi. Baada ya hayo lazima aje kwenye kambi, lakini ataishi nje ya hema lake kwa siku saba.
“Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.
9 Katika siku ya saba lazima anyoe nywele za kichwa chake, na lazima pia anyoe ndevu zake na nyusi. Lazima anyoe nywele zake zote, na lazima afue nguo zake na aoge kwenye maji; ndipo atakuwa safi.
On the seventh day, he must again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.
10 Katika siku ya nane lazima achukue dume wa wana kondoo wawili wasio na lawama, mwana kondoo jike wa mwaka mmoja asiye na lawama, na tatu ya kumi ya efa ya unga safi uliochanganywa mafuta kama sadaka ya nafaka, na kipimo kimoja cha mafuta.
“The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil.
11 Kuhani ambaye amemtakasa mtu atamsimamisha mtu ambaye aliyemtakasa, pamoja na vile vitu, mbele ya Yahwe mahali pa kuingilia kwenye hema ya mkutano.
The priest who declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
12 Kuhani atachukua mmoja wa wanakondoo dume na kumtoa kama sadaka ya hatia, pamoja na kipimo cha mafuta; atavitikisa kwa sadaka ya kutikiswa mbele ya Yahwe.
“Then the priest must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].
13 Lazima aue mwana kondoo dume mahali ambapo wanapochinjia sadaka ya dhambi na sadaka ya kuteketezwa, katika eneo la hema, sababu sadaka ya dhambi ni ya kuhani, kama afanyavyo sadaka ya hatia, kwasababu ni takatifu zaidi.
Then the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.
14 Kuhani atachukua baadhi ya damu ya sadaka ya hatia na kuiweka kwenye ncha ya sikio la kulia la mtu yule wa kutakaswa, katika dole gumba la kulia, katika dole la mguu wa kulia.
The priest must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.
15 Ndipo kuhani atachukua mafuta kutoka chombo na kuyamimina katika kiganja cha mkono wake wa kushoto, na kuzamisha kidole chake katika mafuta hayo yaliyo kwenye mkono wa kushoto,
Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.
16 na kunyunyiza baadhi ya mafuta kwa kidole mara saba mbele za Yahwe.
Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.
17 kuhani ataweka mafuta yaliyobaki kwenye mkono wake kwenye ncha ya sikio la kulia la mtu wa kutakaswa, juu ya dole gumba la mkono wa kulia, na katika dole kubwa la mguu wa kulia. Lazima aweke mafuta haya juu ya damu kutoka kwenye sadaka ya hatia.
Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.
18 Kama kwa mafuta yaliyosalia kwamba katika mkono wa kuhani, atayaweka juu ya kichwa cha mtu ambaye atakaswaye, na kuhani atafanya utakaso kwaajili yake mbele za Yahwe.
The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.
19 Ndipo kuhani atatoa sadaka ya dhambi na kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake atakaswaye kwa sababu ya kutokuwa safi kwake, na badaye ataua sadaka ya kuchomwa.
“Then the priest must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].
20 Ndipo kuhani atatoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya nafaka juu ya madhabahu. Kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwaajili ya mtu huyo, na ndipo atakuwa safi.
He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.
21 Kwa namna hiyo, kama mtu ni masikini na hawezi kumudu matoleo haya, ndipo anaweza kuchukua kondoo mmoja dume kama sadaka ya hatia ya kutikiswa, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe, na moja ya kumi ya efa ya unga safi uliochanganywa na mafuta kama sadaka ya nafaka, na chombo cha mafuta,
“But if the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil,
22 pamoja na njiwa wawili au kinda mbili za njiwa, ambao anaweza kupata; ndege mmoja atakuwa sadaka ya dhambi na mwingine sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
and two doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].
23 Katika siku ya nane lazima awalete kwa kuhani kwaajili ya utakaso, pakuigilia katika hema ya mkutano, mbele ya Yahwe.
“On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to Yahweh.
24 Kuhani atachukua mwana kondoo kwaajili ya sadaka, na atachukua pamoja na kiasi cha mafuta ya mzeituni, na ataviinua juu kama anaviwasilisha kwa Yahwe.
The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.
25 Atamuua mwana kondoo kwaajili ya sadaka ya hatia, na atachukua baadhi ya ya damu ya sadaka ya hatia na kuiweka juu ya ncha ya sikio la kulia la yule wakutakaswa, juu ya dole gumba la mkono wake wa kulia, na kwenye dole kubwa la mguu, wa kulia.
Then the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 Ndipo kuhani atamimina baadhi ya mafuta katika kiganja cha mkono wake wa kushoto,
Then the priest will pour some of the oil into the palm of his left hand,
27 na atanyunyiza kwa kidole chake cha kulia baadhi ya mafuta ambayo yako kwenye mkono wa kushoto mara saba mbele za Yahwe.
and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.
28 Ndipo kuhani ataweka kiasi cha mafuta ambayo yako kwenye mkono wake kwenye ncha ya sikio la yule mtu wa kutakaswa, katika dole gumba lake la mkono wa kulia, na dole kubwa la mguu wa kulia, maeneo yale yale ambayo kaweka damu ya sadaka ya hatia.
He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.
29 Ataweka mafuta yaliyobaki yaliyo mkononi mwake juu ya yule wakutakaswa, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mbele za Yahwe.
He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.
30 Lazima atoe sadaka ya njiwa au makinda ya njiwa, yale ambayo mtu ameweza kupata -
Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.
31 moja kama ya sadaka ya dhambi na nyingine kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa, pamoja na sadaka ya nafaka. Ndipo kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwaajili ya yule ambaye atatakaswa mbele za Yahwe.
One will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.
32 Hii ni sheria kwaajili ya mtu kwake kuna athari za ugonjwa wa ngozi, ambaye hawezi kumudu kiwango cha sadaka kwaajili ya utakaso wake.”
“Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”
33 Yahwe alizungumza na Musa na Haruni, akisema,
Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,
34 “Wakati mtakuja katika nchi ya Kanaani ambayo nimewapa kama miliki, na kama naweka ukungu unaenea ndani ya nyumba katika nchi ya miliki yenu,
“I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.
35 ndipo yeye ambaye anamiliki nyumba ile lazima aje na kumwambia kuhani. Lazima aseme 'Inaonekana kwangu kuna kitu fulani kama ukungu ndani ya nyumba yangu.'”
If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’
36 Ndipo kuhani ataamuru kwamba watoe vitu vyote ndani kabla hajaenda ndani kuona uthibitisho wa ukungu, kiasi kwamba hakuna ndani ya nyumba kitakachofanywa najisi. Badaye kuhani lazima aende ndani kuona humo ndani.
“Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’
37 Yeye lazima achunguze ukungu kuona kama umo katika kuta za nyumba, na kuona ikiwa kunaonekana ukijani au wekundu katika bonde za mwonekano wa kuta.
[After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,
38 Kama nyumba inao ukungu, ndipo kuhani atatoka nje ya nyuma na kufunga mlango wa nyumba kwa siku saba.
the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.
39 Ndipo kuhani atarudi tena katika siku ya saba na kuichunguza kuona kama ukungu umeenea katika kuta za nyumba.
On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,
40 Kama hivyo, ndipo kuhani ataamuru kwamba wayaondoe mawe ambayo ukungu umepatikana na yatupwe katika sehemu najisi nje ya mji.
the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.
41 Yeye atataka kuta zote za ndani ya nyumba zikwanguliwe, na lazima achukue vitu vilivyochafuliwa na hivyo vilivyokwanguliwa nje ya mji na kuvitupa kwenye eneo lisilosafi.
Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
42 Lazima wayachukue mawe mengine na kuyaweka katika sehemu ya mawe yaliyoondolewa, na lazima watumie udongo mpya kupigia lipu nyumba.
Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] the house.
43 Kama ukungu unakuja tena na unaingia katika nyumba ambayo mawe yameondolewa na kuta zimekwanguliwa na kupigwa lipu upya,
“If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,
44 ndipo kuhani lazima aje aingie ndani na kuchunguza nyumba kuona kama ukungu umeenea ndani ya nyumba. Kama hivyo, huo ni ukungu mbaya, na nyumba ni najisi.
the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.
45 Nyumba hiyo lazima iangushwe chini. Hayo mawe, mbao, na lipu yote ndani ya nyumba lazima vibebwe kupelekwa nje ya mji kwenye sehemu najisi.
It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
46 Kwa nyongeza, yeyote anaenda ndani ya nyumba wakati imefungwa atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
“Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.
47 Na yeyote aliyelala ndani ya nyumba lazima afue nguo zake, na yeyote aliyekula ndani ya nyumba lazima afue nguo zake.
Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.
48 Kama kuhani akaingia hiyo kuichunguza kuona ikiwa ukungu umeenea katika nyumba baada ya nyumba kupigwa lipu, ndipo, kama ukungu umetoweka, ataitangaza nyumba hiyo kuwa ni safi.
“But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.
49 Ndipo kuhani lazima achukue ndege wawili kuitakasa nyumba, na mti wa mwelezi, na sufu nyekundu, na hisopo.
But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.
50 Atamuua ndege mmojawapo katika maji masafi kwenye dumu la udongo.
He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
51 Atachukua mti wa mwerezi, hisopo, sufu nyekundu na ndege aliyehai, na kuvichovya kwenye damu ya ndege aliyekufa, kwenye maji safi, na kunyunyizia nyumba mara saba.
Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.
52 Ataitakasa nyumba kwa damu ya ndege na maji safi, pamoja na ndege aliyehai, mti wa mwerezi, hisopo, na sufu nyekundu. Lakini atamwachia ndege aliyehai aende nje ya mji mashambani.
By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.
53 Kwa njia hii lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya nyumba, na itakuwa safi.
Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.
54 Hii ni sheria kwa aina zote za athari ya ugonjwa wa ngozi na vitu vyote vinavyosababisha ugonjwa kama huo, na kwaajili ya kuwashwa,
“Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,
55 na kwa ukungu kwenye mavazi na nyumba,
for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,
56 kwaajili ya uvimbe, kwaajili ya vipele, madoa,
and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],
57 kutambua wakati wowote tatizo hili ni najisi au lini limetakaswa. Hii ni sheria kwaajili ya athari za ugonjwa wa ukungu.
to find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
