Mambo ya Walawi 23
1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Zungumza na watu wa Israeli, na uwaambie, 'Hizi ndizo sikukuu zilizoamriwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh, ambazo ni lazima mzitangaze kuwa makusanyiko matakatifu, ni sikukuu zangu za mara kwa mara.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, —these are my feasts:
3 Mnaweza kufanya kazi kwa siku sita, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kupumzika kabisa. Usifanye kazi kwa sababu ni Sabato kwa ajili ya Yahweh mahali pote mnaposhi.
Six days may work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; no kind of work shall ye do thereon; it is the sabbath [holy] unto the Lord in all your dwellings.
4 Hizi ndizo sikukuu za Yahweh zilizoamriwa, Makusanyiko matakatifu mtakayoyatangaza kwa nyakati zilioamriwa:
These are the feasts of the Lord, the holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons:
5 Katika mwenzi wa kwanza, siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi kwenye mwanga hafifu wa machweo ya jua, ni Pasaka ya Yahweh.
On the fourteenth day of the first month, toward evening, is the passover-lamb to be offered unto the Lord.
6 Siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi ule ule ni sikukuu ya mikate isiotiwa hamira kwa ajili ya Yahweh. Kwa muda wa siku saba mtakula mikate isiotiwa hamira.
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days must ye eat unleavened bread.
7 Siku ya kwanza ni lazima mjitenge kwa pamoja, hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida.
On the first day there shall be a holy convocation unto you; no servile work shall ye do thereon.
8 Kwa siku saba mtamletea Yahweh matoleo ya chakula. Siku ya saba ni ya kusanyiko takatifu lililotengwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh, nanyi katika siku hiyo hamtafanya kazi yoyote ya kawaida.”
And ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: on the seventh day is a holy convocation; no servile work shall ye do.
9 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
10 “Sema na watu wa Israeli uwaambie, 'mtakapika kwenye nchi nitakayowapa nyinyi, na mtakapovuna mazao yake, nanyi yawapasa kumletea kuhani fungu la masuke ya nafaka ya matunda yake ya kwanza.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye shall have come into the land which I give unto you, and reap the harvest thereof: then shall ye bring an omer full of the first of your harvest unto the priest;
11 Naye ataliinua hilo fungu la masuke ya nafaka mbele za Yahweh na kulileta kwake, kwa kuwa litakubalika kwa niaba yenu. Nalo litaletwa siku baada ya Sabato ili kwamba kuhani ataliinua na kulileta kwangu.
And he shall wave the omer before the Lord, that it may be favorably received for you; on the morrow after the holy day shall the priest wave it.
12 Siku ile mtakapoliinua lile fungu la masuke ya nafaka na kulileta kwangu, itawabidi kutoa mwana—kondoo dume wa mwaka mmoja na asiye na dosari awe sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Yahweh.
And ye shall offer on the day when ye wave the omer, a male sheep without blemish of the first year for a burnt-offering unto the Lord.
13 Matoleo ya nafaka yatakuwa sehemu za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, uwe matoleo yaliyofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh, ili kutoa harufu nzuri ya kupendeza, pamoja na hiyo kutakuwa na matoleo ya kinywaji ya divai, moja ya nne ya hini.
And the meat-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts of fine flour mingled with oil, as an offering made by fire unto the Lord, for a sweet savor; with its drink-offering of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 Hamtakula mkate, wala nafaka iliyokaangwa au nafaka mpya hata siku ile mliyoleta matoleo haya kwa Mungu wenu. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu, popote pale mnapoishi.
And neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, shall ye eat, until the self-same day, until ye have brought the offering of your God: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 Tangu siku iliyofuata baada ya Sabato—hiyo ilikuwa siku mlipolileta lie fungu la nafaka la matoleo ya kutikiswa—hesabuni majuma saba kamili.
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the holy day, from the day that ye bring the omer of the wave-offering, [that] it be seven complete weeks:
16 Mtahesabu siku hamsini, ambazo zingekuwa siku baada ya Sabato ya saba. Kisha mtaleta matoleo ya nafaka mpya kwa Yahweh.
Even unto the morrow after the seventh week shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall then offer a new meat-offering unto the Lord.
17 Mtaleta kutoka nyumbani mwenu mikate miwili iliyotengenezwa kutokana na mbili za kumi za efa. Ni lazima ifanywe kwa unga laini na uliochanganywa na hamira; zitakuwa matoleo ya kutikiswa ya malimbuko ya kwanza kwa Yahweh.
Out of your own habitations shall ye bring two wave-loaves of two tenth parts; of fine flour shall they be; leavened shall they be baked; they are the first-fruits unto the Lord.
18 Mtaileta hiyo mikate pamoja na wana—kondoo saba wa mwaka mmoja na wasiokuwa na dosari, fahali mmoja mchanga na dume wa kondoo wawili. Watakuwa matoleo ya kuteketezwa kwa moto kwa Yahweh, pamoja na matoleo yao ya nafaka na matoleo ya kinywaji, matoleo yaliyofanywa kwa moto na kutoa harufu nzuri ya kupendeza kwa Yahweh.
And ye shall offer with the bread seven sheep without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt-offering unto the Lord, with their meat-offering, with their drink-offerings, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
19 Ni lazima mtowe mbuzi dume mmoja kwa ajili ya matoleo ya dhambi, na wana—kondoo dume wawili wa mwaka mmoja kwa ajili ya dhabihu, wawe matoleo ya ushirika.
And ye shall sacrifice one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two sheep of the first year for a sacrifice of peace-offering.
20 Ni lazima kuhani azitikise pamoja na mkate wa malimbuko ya kwanza mbele za Yahweh na kuzileta kwake kuwa matoleo pamoja na kondoo dume wawili. Watakuwa sadaka takatifu kwa Yahweh kwa ajili ya kuhani.
And the priest shall make with them together with the bread of the first-fruits a waving before the Lord, together with the two sheep; holy shall they be to the Lord for the priest.
21 Mtatoa tangazo siku iyo hiyo. Kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, na hamtafanya kazi za kawaida. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vya watu wenu mahali pote mnapoishi.
And ye shall proclaim on the self-same day, that it may be a holy convocation unto you; no servile work shall ye do; it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 Mtakapovuna mazao ya nchi yenu, Msivune kabisa kabisa pembeni mwa mashamba yenu, wala msivune mazazo ya mavuno yenu. Inawapasa kuyaacha kwa ajili ya masikini na mgeni. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.”
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not cut away altogether the corners of thy field when thou reapest, and the gleaning of thy harvest shalt thou not gather up; unto the poor, and to the stranger shalt thou leave them: I am the Lord your God.
23 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 “Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, “Siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza itakuwa siku ya pumzika makini kwa ajili yenu, kumbukumbu pamoja na kupigwa kwa tarumbeta na kusanyiko takatifu,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall ye have a rest, a [day of] memorial of sounding the cornet, a holy convocation.
25 Hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida, na ni lazima mtoe dhabihu inayofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh.”
No servile work shall ye do: and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
26 Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
27 “Sasa, siku ya kumi ya mwezi huu wa saba, ni Siku ya Upatanisho. Kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, na ni lazima mjinyenyekeze na kuleta kwa Yahweh matoleo kwa moto.
But on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement, a holy convocation shall it be unto you, and ye shall fast; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 Hamtafanya kazi katika siku hiyo kwa sababu ni Siku ya Upatanisho, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yenu mbele za Yahweh Mungu wenu.
And no manner of work shall ye do on this same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
29 Yeyote asiyejinyenyekeza siku hiyo lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
For whatsoever person it be that fasteth not on this same day, shall be cut off from among his people.
30 Yeye afanyaye kazi yoyote katika siku hiyo, Mimi, Yahweh, nitamwangamiza atoke miongoni mwa watu wake.
And if there be any person that doth any work on this same day, then will I destroy the same person from among his people.
31 Msifanye kazi ya aina yoyote katika siku hiyo. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu mahali pote mnapoishi.
No manner of work shall ye do: it shall he a statute for ever throughout your generations, in all your dwellings.
32 Siku hii itakuwa Sabato ya pumziko lenye utlivu, na ni lzima siku ya tisa ya mwezi mjinyenyekeze katika majira ya jioni. Tangu jioni hata jioni mtaishika Sabato yenu.”
A sabbath of rest it shall be unto you, and ye shall fast: on the ninth day of the month at evening [shall ye begin], from evening unto evening shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
34 “Zungumza na watu ISraeli, uwaambie 'Katika siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba kutakuwa na Sikukuu ya vibanda kwa Yahweh. nayo itadumu siku saba.
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
35 Siku ya kwanza kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu. Hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida.
On the first day shall be a holy convocation; no servile work shall ye do.
36 Kwa muda wa siku saba mtatoa dhabihu iliyofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh. Siku ya nane kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, nanyi mtato dhabihu iliyofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh. Hili ni kusanyiko lenye utulivu, nanyi msifanye kazi yoyote ya kawaida.
Seven days shall ye offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, it is a solemn assembly; no servile work shall ye do.
37 Hizi ndizo sikukuu zilizoamriwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh, ambazo mnapaswa kuzitangaza kuwa ni makusanyiko matakatifu ya kutoa dhabihu kwa moto kwa Yahweh, matoleo ya kuteketezwa na matoleo ya nafaka, dhabihu na matoleo ya vinywaji, kila moja kwa siku yake.
These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, burnt-offering, and meat-offering, sacrifice, and drink-offerings, every thing upon its day:
38 Sikukuu hizi zitakuwa nyongeza kwa Sabato za Yahweh na zawadi zenu, viapo vyenu vyote, na sadaka zenu zote za hiari mzitoazo kwa Yahweh.
Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill-offerings, which ye may give unto the Lord.
39 Kuhusu Sikukuu ya vibanda, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba, mtakapokuwa mmeyakusanya ndani matunda ya nchi, ni lazima muitunze sikukuu hii ya Yehweh kwa muda wa siku saba. Siku ya kwanza itakuwa ya pumziko lenye utulivu, na siku ya nane pia itakuwa ya pumziko lenye utulivu.
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, shall ye keep the feast of the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a rest, and on the eighth day shall be a rest.
40 Siku ya kwanza mtachuma tunda lililobora kutoka kwenye miti, mtakata makuti ya mtende, na matawi ya miti minene yenye majani mengi, na majani ya mierebi kutoka chemchemi za maji, nanyi mtashangilia mbele za Yahweh Mungu wenu kwa siku saba.
And ye shall take unto yourselves on the first day the fruit of the tree hadar, branches of palm-trees, and the boughs of the myrtle-tree, and willows of the brook: and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
41 Kwa muda wa siku saba kila mwaka, mtaisherehekea sikukuu hii kwa Yahweh. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu mahali potepote mtakapoishi. Mtaisherehekea sikukuu hii katika mwezi wa saba.
And ye shall keep it as a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; in the seventh month shall ye celebrate it.
42 Mtaishi kwenye vibanda vidogovidogo kwa siku saba. Waisraeli wenyeji wa kuzaliwa wote itawapasa kuishi katika vibanda vidogovidogo kwa siku saba,
In booths shall ye dwell seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths.
43 ili kwamba wazao wenu, kizazi baada ya kizazi, waweze kujifunza nilivyowafanya wana wa Israeli kuishi kwenye vibanda kama hivi nilipowaongoza kutoka katika nchi ya Misri. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.'”
In order that your generations may know, that I caused the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 Katika njia hii Musa akazitangaza kwa watu wa ISraeli sikukuu zilizoamria kwa ajili ya Yahweh.
And Moses declared the feasts of the Lord unto the children of Israel.
