Mambo ya Walawi 21
1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Zungumza na makuhani, wana wa Aroni, nawe waambie, 'hakuna hata mmoja miongoni mwenu atakayejitia unajisi kwa wale wanaokufa miongoni mwa watu wake,
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Speake vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron, and say vnto them, Let none be defiled by the dead among his people,
2 isipokuwa yule aliye ndugu wa karibu—mama yake, baba yake, mwanawe, bintiye, nduguye,
But by his kinseman that is neere vnto him: to wit, by his mother, or by his father, or by his sonne, or by his daughter, or by his brother,
3 au dada yake bikira anayemtegemea, kwa kuwa hana mume—kwake huyo anaweza kujitia unajisi.
Or by his sister a maid, that is neere vnto him, which hath not had a husband: for her he may lament.
4 Lakini hatajitia unajisi na kujichafu kwa ajili ya jamaa wengine.
He shall not lament for the Prince among his people, to pollute him selfe.
5 Makuhanai hawatanyoa vichwa vyo wala kunyoa pembeni mwa ndevu zao, wala hawatachanja chale miili yao.
They shall not make balde partes vpon their head, nor shaue off the locks of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Watakuwa watakatifu kwa Mungu wao, wala hawataliaibisha jina la Mungu wao, kwa sababu makuhani hutoa sadaka ya Yahweh ya chakula, mkate wa Mungu wao. Kwa hiyo makuhani lazima wawe watakatifu.
They shalbe holy vnto their God, and not pollute the name of their God: for the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God they doe offer: therefore they shalbe holie.
7 Hawataoa mwanamke aliye kahaba na aliyetiwa unajisi, na hawataoa mwanamke aliyetalikiwa kutoka kwa mume wake kwa sababu wametengwa kwa ajili ya Mungu wao.
They shall not take to wife an whore, or one polluted, neither shall they marrie a woman diuorced from her husband: for such one is holy vnto his God.
8 Utamtenga kwa sababu yeye ndiye anayetoa mkate kwa Mungu wako. Ni lazima awe mtakatifu, kwa sababu—Mimi, Yahweh, ndimi niwatakasaye nyinyi—pia Mimi mwenyewe ni mtakatifu.
Thou shalt sanctifie him therefore, for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy vnto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctifie you, am holy.
9 Binti yeyote wa kuhani anayejitia unajisi kwa kujifanya kahaba anajifedhehesha mwenyewe. Ni lazima ateketezwe kwa moto.
If a Priestes daughter fall to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore shall she be burnt with fire.
10 Mtu ambaye ni kuhani mkuu miongoni mwa nduguze, ambaye mafuta ya upako yamekwisha kumiminwa kichwani pake, na ambaye amekwisha kuwekwa wakfu ili kuvaa mavazi maalum ya kuhani mkuu, kamwe hataziacha wazi nywele zake wala hatazirarua nguo zake.
Also ye hie Priest among his brethren, (vpon whose head the anointing oyle was powred, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments) shall not vncouer his head, nor rent his clothes,
11 Hataingia kamwe mahali popote ambapo kuna maiti na kujitia unajisi, hata kama ni maiti ya baba yake au ya mama yake.
Neither shall he goe to any dead bodie, nor make him selfe vncleane by his father or by his mother,
12 Kuhani mkuu hataondoka eneo takatifu la hema la kukutania au kupatia unajisi patakatifu pa Mungu wake, kwa sababu amewekwa wakfu kuwa kuhani mkuu kwa kutiwa mafuta ya upako ya Mungu wake. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Neither shall he goe out of the Sanctuarie, nor pollute the holy place of his God: for the crowne of the anoynting oyle of his God is vpon him: I am the Lord.
13 Kuhani mkuu nilazima aoe bikira kuwa mke wake.
Also he shall take a maide vnto his wife:
14 Hataoa mjene, mwanamke mtalaka au mwanamke aliye kahaba. Anaweza kuoa mwanamke bikira kutoka kwa watu wake,
But a widowe, or a diuorced woman, or a polluted, or an harlot, these shall he not marrie, but shall take a maide of his owne people to wife:
15 kwa hiyo asiwatia unajisi watoto wake miongoni mwa watu wake. kwa kuwa Mimi Yahweh, ndimi ninayemfanya yeye mtakatifu.”
Neyther shall he defile his seede among his people: for I am the Lord which sanctifie him.
16 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akasema,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
17 Zungumza na Aroni na umwambie, 'mtu yeyote wa ukoo wako katika vizazi vyako vyote mwenye kasoro mwilini mwake, asisogee kutoa chakula kwa Mungu wake.
Speake vnto Aaron, and say, Whosoeuer of thy seede in their generations hath any blemishes, shall not prease to offer the bread of his God:
18 Mtu yeyote mwenye kasoro mwilini mwake asimkaribie Yahweh,
For whosoeuer hath any blemish, shall not come neere: as a man blinde or lame, or that hath a flat nose, or that hath any misshapen member,
19 mtu kama vile: kipofu au mtu asiyeweza kutembea, mtu aliyeharibiwa uso au kupungukiwa na viungo mwilini, mtu aliye na mguu au mkono wenye ulemavu,
Or a man that hath a broken foote, or a broken hande,
20 mtu mwenye kibiongo mgongoni mwake au aliye na kimo kidogo au wembamba usio wa kawaida, au mtu mwenye kasoro machoni mwake, au mwenye ugonjwa, kidonda, upele, au yule ambaye korodani zake zimeharibiwa.
Or is crooke backt, or bleare eyed, or hath a blemish in his eye, or be skiruie, or skabbed, or haue his stones broken.
21 Hakutakuwa na mtu miongoni mwa ukoo wa Aroni kuhani mkuu mwenye kasoro mwilini atakayekaribia kutoa matoleo yatakayoteketezwa kwa moto kwa ajili ya Yahweh. Mtu kama huyo mwenye kasoro mwilini hatakaribia ili kutoa mkate wa Mungu wake.
None of the seede of Aaron the Priest that hath a blemish, shall come neere to offer the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, hauing a blemish: he shall not prease to offer the bread of his God.
22 Anaweza kula chakula cha Mungu wake, ama iwe baadhi ya vile vilivyo vitakatifu sana au vile vitakatifu.
The bread of his God, euen of the most holie, and of the holy shall he eate:
23 Hata hivyo, hataingia ndani ya pazia wala kuisogelea madhabahu, kwa sababu ana kasoro mwilini mwake, ili kwamba asipanajisi mahali patakatifu pangu, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh anayewafanya watakatifu.”
But he shall not goe in vnto the vaile, nor come neere the altar, because hee hath a blemish, least he pollute my Sanctuaries: for I am the Lord that sanctifie them.
24 Kwa hiyo Musa akamwambia maneno haya Aroni, wanawe, na watu wote wa Israeli.
Thus spake Moses vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel.
