Mambo ya Walawi 17
1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Zungumza na Aroni na wanawe, na watu wote wa Israeli. Waambie mambo ambayo ameamru Yahweh:
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
3 Mtu yeyote wa Isreli anayeua fahali au mwana—kondoo au mbuzi kambini, au amuuaye nje ya kambi, ili kumtoa dhabihu—
Every one of the house of Israel that slaughtereth an ox, or sheep, or goat, in the camp, or that slaughtereth it out of the camp,
4 kama hamleti katika ingilio la hema la kukutania ili kumtoa dhabihu kwa Yahweh mbele za hema lake la kukutania, mtu huyo ana hatia ya damu iliyomwagika. Amemwaga damu, na mtu huyo ni sharti akatiliwe mabali kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake.
and doth not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to Jehovah, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be reckoned unto that man: he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people,
5 Kusudi la amri hii ni kwamba watu wa Israeli wataleta dhabihu zao kwa Yahweh kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania, watazileta kwa kuhani ziweze kutolewa kuwa matoleo ya shukrani kwa Yahweh, badala ya kutoa dhabihu hadharani katika shamba.
to the end that the children of Israel bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they bring them to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah.
6 Kuhani atainyunyiza damu juu ya madhabahu ya Yahweh kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania; atayachoma mafuta yake ili kutoa harufu ya kupendeza mbele za Yahweh.
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet odour to Jehovah.
7 Ni lazima watu wasitoe tena dhabihu zao kwa sanamu za mbuzi, ambazo kwazo hutenda kama makahaba. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa ajili yao katika vizazi vya watu wao vyote.
And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto demons, after whom they go a whoring. This shall be an everlasting statute unto them for their generations.
8 Ni lazima uwaambie, 'Mtu yeyote wa Israeli, au Mgeni yeyote aishiye miongoni mwao, atoweye dhabihu
And thou shalt say unto them, Every one of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that offereth up a burnt-offering or sacrifice,
9 na asiilete kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania ili kuitoa kwa Yahweh, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali kutoka kwa watu wake.'
and bringeth it not to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to offer it up to Jehovah — that man shall be cut off from his peoples.
10 Na Mtu yeyote wa Israeli, au yeyote wa Wageni anayeishi miongoni mwao, ambaye hunywa damu; nitamkatilia mbali atoke miongoni mwa watu wake.
And every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, — I will set my face against the soul that hath eaten blood, and will cut him off from among his people;
11 Kwa kuwa uhai wa mnyama yeyote umo katika damu yake. Nimeitoa damu yake kwenu kufanya upatanisho juu ya madhabahu kwa ajili ya uhai wenu, kwa sababu ni damu ndiyo ifanyayo upatanisho, kwa kuwa ni damu ipatanishayo kwa ajili ya uhai
for the soul of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul.
12 Kwa hiyo Niliwaambia Watu wa Israeli kwamba hayupo miongoni mwenu impasaye kula damu, wala yeyote wa Wageni aishiye miongoni mwenu atakaye kula damu.
Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall the stranger who sojourneth among you eat blood.
13 Na yeyote miongoni mwa watu wa Israeli, au yeyote wa Wageni aishiye miongoni mwenu ni lazima aimwage damu ya mnyama na kuifukia hiyo damu kwa mafumbi.
And every one of the children of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that catcheth in the hunt a beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with earth;
14 Kwa kuwa uhai wa kila kiumbe umo katika damu yake. Ni kwa sababu hii niliwaambia watu wa Israeli, ni lazima msile damu ya kiumbe cho chote, kwa kuwa maisha ya kila kiumbe chenye uhai ni damu yake. Yeyeote ailaye ni lazima akatiliwe mbali.
for as to the life of all flesh, its blood is the life in it; and I have said unto the children of Israel, Of the blood of no manner of flesh shall ye eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15 Mtu yeyote alaye mnyama aliyekufa au ambaye amelaruliwa na wanyama pori, ama yule mtu ni mwenyeji wa kuzaliwa au ni mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu, ni lazima atazifua nguo zake na kujiosha katika maji, naye atakuwa najisi hata jioni. Kisha atakuwa safi.
And every soul that eateth of a dead carcase, or of that which was torn, be it one home-born, or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even: then he shall be clean.
16 Lakini kama hazifui nguo zake au kuosha mwili wake, ni lazima aichukue hatia yake”.
And if he wash them not nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
