Mambo ya Walawi 24
1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, akisema,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Waamru watu wa Israeli wakuletee mafuta halisi yaliyokamliwa kutokana na mizeituni ili yatumike kwenye taa, ili kwamba taa ziweze kuwaka daima na kuleta mwanga.
“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
3 Nje ya pazia lililoko mbele ya sanduku la maamzi ndani ya hema la kukutania, Aroni ataiwasha daima taa mbele za Yahweh, tangu asubuhi hata jioni. Hii itakuwa amri ya kudumu katika vizazi vyote vya watu wenu.
Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.
4 Kuhani mkuu atazifanya taa ziwake daima mbele za Yahweh, taa hizo zilizo kwenye kinara cha dhahabu safi.
He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
5 Yawapasa kuchukua unga laini na kuoka kwa huo mikate kumi na miwili. Ni lazima kuwe na mbili za kumi za efa za unga katika kila mkate.
You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,
6 Kisha mtaipanga juu ya meza ya dhahabu safi mbele za Yahweh katika safu mbili, mikate sita katika kila safu,
and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
7 Mtaweka uvumba safi kando ya kila safu ya mikata kuwa sadaka ya kuwakilisha. Uvumba huo utachomwa kwa moto kwa ajili ya Yahweh.
And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
8 Kila siku ya Sabato kuhani mkuu sharti aipange kwa utaratibu hiyo mikate mbele za Yahweh kwa niaba ya watu wa Israeli, iwe ishara ya agano la milele.
Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.
9 Sadaka hii itakuwa kwa ajili ya Aroni na wanawe, na ni lazima waile mahali palipo patakatifu, kwa kuwa ni sehemu ya matoleo kwa Yahweh yaliyofanywa kwa moto.”
It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD—his portion forever.”
10 Sasa ilitokea kwamba mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli, ambaye baba yake alikuwa Mmisri, alikwenda miongoni mwa watu wa Israeli. Huyu mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akagombana na mwanume Mwisraeli kambini.
Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
11 Mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akalikufuru jina la Yahweh na kumlaani Mungu, kwa hiyo watu wakamleta kwa Musa. Jina la mama yake aliitwa Shelomithi, binti wa Dibri, kutoka kabila la Dani.
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
12 Wakamweka kizuizini mpaka Yahweh mwenyewe atakapotangaza mapenzi yake kwao.
They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.
13 Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
14 “Mchukue nje ya kambi huyo aliyemlaani Mungu. Wale wote waliomskia wataweka mikono yao juu ya kichwa chake, na kisha kusanyiko lote watamponda kwa mawe.
“Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.
15 Ni lazima uwaeleze watu wa Israeli na kusema, 'Yeyote anayemlaani Mungu wake imempasa kubeba hatia yake mwenyewe.
And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.
16 Yeye anayelikufuru jina la Yahweh kwa hakika ni lazima auawe. Hakika, kusanyiko lote litampiga mawe, ama awe mgeni au Mwisraeli mwenyeji mzaliwa. Ikiwa yeyote analikufuru jina la Yahweh, ni lazima auawe.
Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
17 Naye amuuaye mtu mwingine ni lazima kwa hakika auewa.
And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
18 Yeye anayemuua mnyama wa mwingine sharti amfidie, uhai kwa uhai.
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
19 Iwapo mtu anamjeruhi jirani yake, ni lazima atendewe vivyo hivyo alivyomtendea jirani yake:
If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
20 Mvunjiko kwa mvunjiko, jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino. Kama amesababisha jeraha kwa mtu, ndivyo ipasavyo kutendwa kwake.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.
21 Yeyote auaye mnyama ni lazima amfidie, na yeyote auaye mtu ni lazima auawe.
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
22 Ni lazima mwe na sheria moja kwa wote, mgeni na Mwisraeli mwenyeji mzaliwa, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wanu.”
You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23 Kwa hiyo Musa akazungumza na watu wa Israeli, nao watu wakamleta mwanaume huyo nje ya kambi, yule ambaye alikuwa amemlaani Yahweh. Wakampiga kwa mawe. Watu waisraeli wakaitekeleza amri ya Yahweh aliyoitoa kupitia Musa.
Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
