Mambo ya Walawi 22
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, kusema,
The LORD 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.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
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.
“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
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,
“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
5 au yeyote agusaye mnyama atakayemtia unajisi, au mtu yeyote atakayemfanya najisi, kwa hiyo unajisi wowote unaweza kuwa—
or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
6 kuhani yeyote agusaye kitu chochote kisichosafi atakuwa najisi hata jioni. Hatakula chochote cha vitu vitakatifu, isipokuwa ameuosha mwili wake katika maji.
the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes 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 is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 Asile mzoga wowote uliookotwa au mnyama aliyeraruliwa na wanyama pori, ambaye kwake atajitia unajisi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
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.
“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
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 stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
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 a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
12 Ikiwa binti wa kuhani ameolewa na mtu asiye kuhani, hataweza kula chochote cha mchango wa matoleo matakatifu.
If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
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 has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
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 something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15 Haiwapasi watu wa Israeli kutoheshimu vitu vitakatifu ambavyo vimeinuliwa juu na kuletwa kwa Yahweh,
The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,
16 kisha wakajisababishia wenyewe kuchukua dhambi amabyo ingewafanya kuwa na hatia ya kula chakula kitakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ndimi Yahweh awafanyaye wao watakatifu.”
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
17 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akasema,
The LORD 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 to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:
19 ikiwa wanataka ikubalike, ni lazima watowe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, kutoka kwenye kundi la ng'ombe, kondoo au mbuzi
that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Lakini hamtatoa chochote kilicho na dosari. Sitakipokea kwa niaba yenu.
But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
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 peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
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 shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.
23 Unaweza kumleta makisai au mwana-kondoo mlemavu au aliyedumaa kuwa sadaka ya hiari, lakini sadaka kama hiyo kwa ajili kutimiza kiapo, haitapokelewa.
Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Usitoe kwa Yahweh mnyama yeyote aliyetiwa jeraha, kupondwa, au kukatwa korodani zake.
You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in 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 offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26 Yahweh akamwambia Musa na akasema,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 Usimchinje ng'ombe jike pamoja na ndama wake au mbuzi jike pamoja na kitoto chake kwa siku moja.
Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 Utoapo sadaka ya shukrani kwa Yahweh utaitoa kwa njia iliyokubalika.
“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
30 Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo inayotolewa. Hutakiwi kubakiza chochote hata asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
31 Kwa hiyo imewapasa kuzishika amri zangu na kuzifuata. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.
32 Msiliabishe jina langu takatifu. Ni lazima nitambuliwe kuwa ni mtakatifu na watu wa Israeli. Mimi ndimi Yahweh niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu,
You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy amongst the children of Israel. I am the LORD 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 the LORD.”
