Mambo ya Walawi 23
1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa:
And the LORD spoke to 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 to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even 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 shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work in it: it is the sabbath of 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, 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.
In the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD’S passover.
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 to the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 Siku ya kwanza ni lazima mjitenge kwa pamoja, hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida.
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it.
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.”
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it.
9 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
And the LORD spoke to 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 to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye shall have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to 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 sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall 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 that day when ye wave the sheaf a male lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to 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 its meat offering shall be two tenth parts of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a sweet savour: and its drink offering shall be of wine, the fourth part of an 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 ye shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor new growth, until the same day that ye have brought an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever 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 to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Mtahesabu siku hamsini, ambazo zingekuwa siku baada ya Sabato ya saba. Kisha mtaleta matoleo ya nafaka mpya kwa Yahweh.
Even to the next day after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering to 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.
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth parts: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits to 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 lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to 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.
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
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 wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy 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 same day, that it may be an holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work in it: 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 make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them to the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,
And the LORD spoke to 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 to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida, na ni lazima mtoe dhabihu inayofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh.”
Ye shall do no servile work in it: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
26 Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
And the LORD spoke to 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.
Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation to you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to 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 ye shall do no work in that 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 whatever soul it may be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he 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 whatever soul it may be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy 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.
Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be 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.”
It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,
And the LORD spoke to 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 to the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days to the LORD.
35 Siku ya kwanza kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu. Hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida.
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it.
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 ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation to you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work in it.
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 to the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a 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 give to 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.
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast to the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
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 you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, 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 a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Mtaishi kwenye vibanda vidogovidogo kwa siku saba. Waisraeli wenyeji wa kuzaliwa wote itawapasa kuishi katika vibanda vidogovidogo kwa siku saba,
Ye shall dwell in booths 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.'”
That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them 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 to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
