Mambo ya Walawi 23

1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa:

And Jehovah speaketh 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 sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, [are] these: they [are] My appointed seasons:

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 is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it [is] a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.

4 Hizi ndizo sikukuu za Yahweh zilizoamriwa, Makusanyiko matakatifu mtakayoyatangaza kwa nyakati zilioamriwa:

'These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed 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 first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, [is] the passover to Jehovah;

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 this month [is] the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;

7 Siku ya kwanza ni lazima mjitenge kwa pamoja, hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida.

on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;

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 have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day [is] a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

9 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,

And Jehovah speaketh 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 sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning 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.

then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth 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 have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,

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 present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the 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 bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God — a statute age-during to 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 have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;

16 Mtahesabu siku hamsini, ambazo zingekuwa siku baada ya Sabato ya saba. Kisha mtaleta matoleo ya nafaka mpya kwa Yahweh.

unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;

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 dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two [loaves], of two tenth deals of flour they are, [with] yeast they are baken, first -[fruits] to Jehovah.

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 have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

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 have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a 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 hath waved them, besides the bread of the first -[fruits] — a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah 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 have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work — a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to 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 in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah [am] your God.'

23 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,

And Jehovah speaketh 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 sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;

25 Hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida, na ni lazima mtoe dhabihu inayofanywa kwa moto kwa Yahweh.”

ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'

26 Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,

And Jehovah speaketh 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.

'Only — on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;

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 do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.

29 Yeyote asiyejinyenyekeza siku hiyo lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.

'For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;

30 Yeye afanyaye kazi yoyote katika siku hiyo, Mimi, Yahweh, nitamwangamiza atoke miongoni mwa watu wake.

and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of 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 do no work — a statute age-during to 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 [is] a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'

33 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,

And Jehovah speaketh 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 sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month [is] a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;

35 Siku ya kwanza kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu. Hamtafanya kazi ya kawaida.

on the first day [is] a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,

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 bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it [is] a restraint, ye do no servile work.

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] appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in 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.

apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.

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.

'Only — in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day [is] a sabbath, and on the eighth day 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 have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah 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 have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year — a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.

42 Mtaishi kwenye vibanda vidogovidogo kwa siku saba. Waisraeli wenyeji wa kuzaliwa wote itawapasa kuishi katika vibanda vidogovidogo kwa siku saba,

'In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel 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.'”

so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'

44 Katika njia hii Musa akazitangaza kwa watu wa ISraeli sikukuu zilizoamria kwa ajili ya Yahweh.

And Moses speaketh [concerning] the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.
