Mambo ya Walawi 16
1 Yahwe alizungumza na Musa - hii ni baada vifo vya wana wawili wa Haruni, walipomkaribia Yahwe na ndipo wakafa.
After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
2 Yahwe alimwambia Musa, “Ongea na Haruni kaka yako na umwambie hapana kuja tu wakati wowote katika patakatifu pa patakatifu ndani ya pazia, mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho kilicho juu ya sanduku. Akifanya hivyo, anakufa, kwasababu naonekana katika wingu juu ya kifuniko cha upatanisho.
He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
3 Hivi ndivyo jinsi Haruni lazima aje katika patakatifu pa patakatifu. Yeye lazima aingie pamoja na ndama kama sadaka ya dhambi, na kondoo dume kama sadaka ya dhambi.
“When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
4 Ni lazima avae kanzu ya kitatani, na lazima avae ndani yake nguo ya kitani, na lazima avae mshipi wa kitani na kilemba cha kitani. Haya ni mavazi matakatifu. Lazima aoge mwili wake katika maji na avae mavazi haya.
Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
5 Lazima achukue kwenye umati wa watu wa Israeli mbuzi wawili waume kama sadaka ya dhambi na kondoo dume moja ikiwa ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
6 Ndipo Haruni lazima alete ng'ombe kama sadaka ya dhambi, ambayo itakuwa kwaajili yake mwenyewe, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na familia yake.
“Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
7 Ndipo lazima achukue mbuzi wawili na kuwaweka mbele ya Yahwe katika mlango wa kuingilia kwenye hema ya mkutano.
Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
8 Ndipo Haruni lazima apige kura kwaajili ya mbuzi hao wawili, kura moja kwaajili ya Yahwe, na kura nyingine kwaajili ya msingiziwa.
He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
9 Ndipo Haruni lazima awasilishe mbuzi ambaye kura imeangukia kwa Yahwe, na kumtoa mbuzi huyo kama sadaka ya dhambi.
Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
10 Lakini mbuzi ambaye kura ya usingiziwa imemwangukia lazima aletwe kwa Yahwe akiwa hai, kufanya upatanisho kwa kumwachia aende porini kama, mbuzimsingiziwa.
Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
11 Pia Haruni lazima alete ng'ombe kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, ambayo itakuwa kwaajili yake mwenyewe, lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na familia yake, hivyo lazima yeye amuue huyo ng'ombe kama sadaka ya dhambi kwaajili yake mwenyewe.
“Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
12 Haruni lazima achukue chetezo iliyojaa mkaa wa moto kutoka kwenye madhabahu mbele ya Yahwe, na mikono imejaa ubani mzuri, na kuleta vitu hivi ndani ya pazia.
Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
13 Hapo lazima aweke ubani juu ya moto mbele za Yahwe ili kwamba wingu kutoka kwenye ubani liweze kufunika kifuniko cha agano la imani ya upatanisho. Yeye afanye hivyo ili kwamba asife.
There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
14 Ndipo lazima achukue kiasi cha damu ya ng'ombe na kuinyunyiza kwa kidole chake mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho. Lazima anyunyize kiasi cha damu kwa kidole chake mara saba mbele ya kifuniko cha upatanisho.
Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
15 Ndipo lazima aue mbuzi kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi ambayo ni kwaajili ya watu na kuileta damu yake ndani kwenye pazi. Hapo lazima aifanyie damu kama alivyofanya kwenye damu ya fahali: lazima ainyunyize juu ya kifuniko cha upatanisho na mbele ya kifunuko cha upatanisho.
[“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
16 Yeye lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu kwa sababu ya matendo ya unajisi ya watu wa Israeli, na kwa sababu ya uasi na dhambi zao zote. Yeye pia lazima afanye haya kwaajili ya hema ya mkutano, ambapo Yahwe anaishi kati yao, katika uwepo wa matendo yao ya unajisi.
By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
17 Hakuna mtu anayetakiwa kuwepo katika hema ya mkutano wakati Haruni anaingia kufanya upatanisho katika mahali patakatifu pa patakatifu, na mpaka atoke nje na amemaliza kufanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na kwaajili ya familia yake, na kwaajili umati wa Israeli.
When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
18 Yeye lazima aende nje kwenye madhabahu hapo mbele za Yahwe na kufanya upatanisho kwaajili ya hiyo, na lazima achukue kiasi cha damu ya mbuzi na kuiweka juu ya pembe za madhabahu yote kuzunguka.
“Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
19 Anatakiwa anyunyize kiasi cha damu juu yake kwa kidole chake mara saba kuitakasa na kuitenga maalumu kwa Yahwe, mbali kutoka matendo ya unajisi wa watu wa Israeli.
Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
20 Atakapo maliza kupatanisha kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu sana, hema la mkutano, na madhabahu, lazima amlete mbuzi aliyehai.
“When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
21 Haruni lazima aweke mikono yake yote juu ya kichwa cha mbuzi huyu aliyehai na akiri juu yake maovu yote ya watu wa Israeli, uasi wao wote, dhambi zao zote. Ndipo lazima aweke dhambi hizo juu ya kichwa cha mbuzi na amwachie katika uangalizi wa mtu aliyetari kumwongoza mbuzi huyo porini.
He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
22 Mbuzi lazima abebe juu yake mwenyewe uovu wote kwenda mahali pakiwa. Kule msituni, huyo mtu amwache mbuzi aende huru.
[It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
23 Ndipo Haruni anapaswa kwenda tena humo kwenye hema ya mkutano na kuvua mavazi ya kitani ambayo amayavaa kabla hajaenda mahali patakatifu sana, na anatakiwa kuyaacha mavazi hayo pale.
“When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
24 Anapaswa aoshe mwili wake kwa maji mahali patakatifu, na avae nguo zake za kawaida; pia lazima atoke nje kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwaajili ya wale watu, na kwa njia hii anafanya upatanisho kwaajili yake mwenyewe na kwaajili ya watu.
Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
25 Lazima yeye achome mafuta ya sadaka ya dhambi juu ya madhabahu.
He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
26 Huyu mtu anayemwacha mbuzi msingiziwa aende huru anafua nguo zake na kuosha mwili wake katika maji; baada ya hayo, anaweza kurudi tena kambini.
“The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
27 Yule fahali kwaajili ya sadaka ya dhambi na mbuzi kwaajili ya sadaka za dhambi, ambaye damu yake ililetwa kufanya upatanisho katika mahali patakatifu, lazima ipelekwe nje ya kambi. kule lazima wachome, ngozi zao, nyama yao na kinyesi chao.
The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
28 Huyu anayechoma sehemu hizo lazima afue nguo zake na aoge mwili wake katika maji; baada ya hapo, anaweza kurudi tena kwenye kambi.
The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
29 Hii itakuwa sharti kwaajili yenu kwamba katika mwezi wa saba, kwenye siku ya kumi ya mwezi, mtanyenyekea wenyewe na msifanye kazi, iwe mwenyeji wa kuzaliwa au mgeni anayeishi kati yenu.
“On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
30 Hii ni kwasababu katika siku hii ya upatanisho utafanywa kwaajili yenu, kuwatakasa ninyi kutoka dhambi zenu zote ili mwe safi mbele za Yahwe.
On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
31 Hii ni maalumu kwa Sabato ya kupumzika kwaajili yenu, na lazima mnyenyekee wenyewe na msifanye kazi. Hili litakuwa sharti kati yenu.
That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
32 Kuhani mkuu, ambaye atapakwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu kuwa kuhani mkuu katika nafasi ya baba yake, lazima afanye upatanisho huu na kuvaa mavazi ya kitani, hayo ni mavazi matakatifu.
In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
33 Lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya mahali patakatifu sana; lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya hema ya mkutano na madhabahu, na lazima afanye upatanisho kwaajili ya makuhani na kwaajili ya kusanyiko la watu.
and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
34 Hii daima itakuwa sharti kwaajili yako, kufanya upatanisho kwaajili ya watu wa Israeli kwasababu ya dhambi zao zote, mara moja kwa kila mwaka.” Na ilikuwa ikifanika kama Yahwe alivyomwamuru Musa.
This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
