Mambo ya Walawi 22
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, kusema,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ongea na Aroni na wanawe, waambie wajiepushe na vitu vitakatifu vya watu wa Israeli wanavyovitenga kwangu. Wasilinajisi jina langu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, tell them to keep away from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they set apart to me. They must not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
3 Waambie, 'Ikiwa mmoja wa wazao wenu katika vizazi vyenu vyote anakaribia vitu vitakatiifu vile ambavyo watu wa Israeli wamevitenga kwa Yahweh, wakati akiwa najisi, sharti mtu huyo akatiliwe mbali atoke mbele zangu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Say to them, 'If any of your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel have set apart to Yahweh, while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from before me: I am Yahweh.
4 Hatakuwapo yeyote wa uzao wa Aroni aliye na ungonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, au maambukizi yatirirkayo kutoka mwilini mwake, atakayekula sehemu yoyote ya dhabihu inatolewayo kwa Yahweh mpaka atakapotakasika. Yeyote agusaye kitu chochote kilichonajisi kwa njia ya kugusa maiti, au kwa kumgusa mtu yeyote aliyetokwa na shahawa,
None of the descendants of Aaron who has an infectious skin disease, or an infection flowing from his body, may eat any of the sacrifices made to Yahweh until he is clean. Whoever touches anything unclean through contact with the dead, or by contact with a man who has a flow of semen,
5 au yeyote agusaye mnyama atakayemtia unajisi, au mtu yeyote atakayemfanya najisi, kwa hiyo unajisi wowote unaweza kuwa—
or whoever touches any creeping animal that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever kind of uncleanness it may be—
6 kuhani yeyote agusaye kitu chochote kisichosafi atakuwa najisi hata jioni. Hatakula chochote cha vitu vitakatifu, isipokuwa ameuosha mwili wake katika maji.
then the priest who touches anything unclean will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy things, unless he has bathed his body in water.
7 Jua linapotua, ndipo atakuwa safi. Baada ya machweo anaweza kula kutoka katika vitu vitakatifu, kwasababu hivyo ni vyakuala vyake.
When the sun has set, he will then be clean. After sunset he may eat from the holy things, because they are his food.
8 Asile mzoga wowote uliookotwa au mnyama aliyeraruliwa na wanyama pori, ambaye kwake atajitia unajisi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
He must not eat anything found dead or killed by wild animals, by which he would defile himself. I am Yahweh.
9 Ni lazima makuhani wafuate maagizo yangu, ama sivyo watakuwa na hatia ya dhambi na wangeweza kufa kwa kunitia unajisi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh ninayewafanya wao watakatifu.
The priests must follow my instructions, or they will be guilty of sin and could die for profaning me. I am Yahweh who makes them holy.
10 Hakuna mtu kutoka nje ya familia ya kuahani, wakiwemo wageni wa kuhani au watumwa wake wa kuajiliwa, atakayeweza kula kitu chochote kilicho kitakatifu.
No one outside the priest's family, including guests of a priest or his hired servants, may eat anything that is holy.
11 Lakini kama huyo kuhani amenunua mtumwa kwa fedha yake mwenyewe, mtumwa huyo anaweza kula kutoka katika vitu vilivyotengwa kwa Yahweh. Na watu wa familia ya kuhani na watumwa waliozaliwa nyumbani mwake, pia wanaweza kula pamoja naye kutoka katika vitu hivyo.
But if a priest buys any slave with his own money, that slave may eat from the things set apart to Yahweh. The priest's family members and slaves born in his house, they also may eat with him from those things.
12 Ikiwa binti wa kuhani ameolewa na mtu asiye kuhani, hataweza kula chochote cha mchango wa matoleo matakatifu.
If a priest's daughter married someone who is not a priest, she may not eat any of the holy contribution offerings.
13 Lakini ikiwa huyo binti wa kuhani ni mjane au ametalikiwa, na ikiwa hana mtoto, na anarudi kuishi knyumbani kwa baba yake kama alivyokuwa wakati wa ujana wake, anaweza kula kutoka katika chakula cha baba yake. Lakini hakuna yeyote asiye wa familia ya kikuhani anatakayeruhusiwa kula kutoka katika chakula cha kuhani.
But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and if she has no child, and if she returns to live in her father's house as in her youth, she may eat from her father's food. But no one who is not in the priestly family may eat from the priest's food.
14 Kama mtu anakula chakula kitakatifu bila ya kukijua, naye atamlipa kuahani kwa ajili ya hicho; itampasa kuongeza moja ya tano juu yake na kukirejesha kwa kuhani.
If a man eats a holy food without knowing it, then he must repay the priest for it; he must add one-fifth to it and give it back to the priest.
15 Haiwapasi watu wa Israeli kutoheshimu vitu vitakatifu ambavyo vimeinuliwa juu na kuletwa kwa Yahweh,
The people of Israel must not profane the holy things that they have raised high and presented to Yahweh,
16 kisha wakajisababishia wenyewe kuchukua dhambi amabyo ingewafanya kuwa na hatia ya kula chakula kitakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ndimi Yahweh awafanyaye wao watakatifu.”
and cause themselves to carry the sin that would make them guilty of eating the holy food, for I am Yahweh who makes them holy.'”
17 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akasema,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Sema na Aroni na wanawe, na kwa watu wa Israeli wote. Waambie, Mwisraeli yeyote, au Mgeni anayeishi katika Israeli, waletapo dhabihu—iwe ni kutimiza kiapo, au iwe ni sadaka ya hiari, au wanaleta kwa Yahweh sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto,
“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Any Israelite, or an alien living in Israel, when they present a sacrifice—whether it is to fulfill a vow, or whether it is a freewill offering, or they present to Yahweh a burnt offering,
19 ikiwa wanataka ikubalike, ni lazima watowe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, kutoka kwenye kundi la ng'ombe, kondoo au mbuzi
if it is to be accepted, they must offer a male animal without blemish from the cattle, sheep, or goats.
20 Lakini hamtatoa chochote kilicho na dosari. Sitakipokea kwa niaba yenu.
But you must not offer whatever has a blemish. I will not accept it on your behalf.
21 Yeyote atoae dhabihu ya sadaka ya ushirika kutoka katika kundi la ng'ombe au la kondoo kwa Yahweh ili kutimiza kiapo, au kama sadaka ya hiari, ili ikubalike, ni lazima isiwe na kilema. Ni lazima pasiweko na kasoro katika mnyama.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of fellowship offerings from the herd or the flock to Yahweh to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, it must be unblemished to be accepted. There must be no defect in the animal.
22 Msitoe kabisa wanyama waliovipofu, waliojeruhiwa, wala walio na kilema, wenye upele, vidonda vitokavyo usaha, wala wenye vigaga. Msiwatoe hawa kuwa dhabihu ya kuteketezwa kwa moto iliyotolewa kwa Yahweh juu ya madhabahu.
You must not offer animals that are blind, disabled, or maimed, or that have warts, sores, or scabs. You must not offer these to Yahweh as a sacrifice by fire on the altar.
23 Unaweza kumleta makisai au mwana-kondoo mlemavu au aliyedumaa kuwa sadaka ya hiari, lakini sadaka kama hiyo kwa ajili kutimiza kiapo, haitapokelewa.
You may present as a freewill offering an ox or a lamb that is deformed or small, but an offering like that will not be accepted for a vow.
24 Usitoe kwa Yahweh mnyama yeyote aliyetiwa jeraha, kupondwa, au kukatwa korodani zake.
Do not offer any animal to Yahweh that has bruised, crushed, torn, or cut testicles. Do not do this within your land.
25 Usifanye haya katika nchi yako. Usilete mkate wa Mungu wako kutoka mkononi mwa mgeni. Hao wanyama wenye vilema na dosari ndani yao, hawatapokelewa kabisa kwa ajili yako.
You must not present the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner. Those animals are deformed and have defects in them, they will not be accepted for you.'”
26 Yahweh akamwambia Musa na akasema,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
27 “Wakati ndama, mwana—kondo au mwana—mbuzi azaliwapo, sharti abaki na mama yake kwa muda wa siku saba. Ndipo kuanzia siku ya nane na kuendelea, anaweza kupokelewa kuwa dhabihu iliyofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh.
“When a calf or a sheep or a goat is born, it must remain seven days with its mother. Then from the eighth day on, it may be accepted as a sacrifice for an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
28 Usimchinje ng'ombe jike pamoja na ndama wake au mbuzi jike pamoja na kitoto chake kwa siku moja.
Do not kill a cow or ewe along with its young, both on the same day.
29 Utoapo sadaka ya shukrani kwa Yahweh utaitoa kwa njia iliyokubalika.
When you sacrifice a thank offering to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it in an acceptable way.
30 Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo inayotolewa. Hutakiwi kubakiza chochote hata asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
It must be eaten on the same day that it is sacrificed. You must leave none of it until the next morning. I am Yahweh.
31 Kwa hiyo imewapasa kuzishika amri zangu na kuzifuata. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
So you must keep my commandments and carry them out. I am Yahweh.
32 Msiliabishe jina langu takatifu. Ni lazima nitambuliwe kuwa ni mtakatifu na watu wa Israeli. Mimi ndimi Yahweh niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu,
You must not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the people of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
33 ambaye amewaleta kutoka katika nchi ya Misri ili niwe Mungu wenu: Mimi ndimi Yahweh.”
who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Yahweh.”
