Hesabu 15

1 Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,

The Lord told Moses,

2 “Sema na wana wa Israeli uwaambie, 'Mtakapoingia katka nchi ambayo mtaishi, ambayo BWANA atawapa,

“Tell the Israelites, ‘These are instructions about what you are to do once you arrive in the country I'm giving you to live in.

3 mtatakiwa kuandaa sadaka kwa moto kwa BWANA, sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya kukamilisha kiapo au sadaka ya hiari, au sadaka katika sikukuu zenu, ili kutoa harufu nzuri kwa BWANA ya ng'ombe au ya kondoo.

When you bring an offering to the Lord from your herd or flock (whether it's a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made, or a freewill or festival offering) that will be acceptable to the Lord,

4 Utamtolea BWANA sadaka ya kuteketezwa pamoja na sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya sadaka ya unga mwembamba uliochanganywa na robo ya hini ya mafuta.

then you shall also present a grain offering of one tenth of an ephah of best flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

5 Na tena mtatoa pamoja na sadaka ya kuteketezwa, au kwa sadaka ya divai robo ya hini ya sadaka ya vinywaji kwa kila mwanakondoo.

Add a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering to the burn offering or the sacrifice of a lamb.

6 Kama unatoa sadaka ya kondoo dume, utaandaa sadaka ya unga ya sehemu za kumi mbili za efa ya unga mwembamba uliochanganywa na sehemu ya tatu ya hini ya divai.

When it comes to a ram, present a grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,

7 Kwa sadaka ya kinywaji, mtatoa sehemu ya tatu ya hini ya divai ambayo itatoa harufu nzuri kwa BWANA.

along with a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, all of them to be acceptable to the Lord.

8 Utakapoandaa fahari kwa ajiliy a sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya kutimiza kiapo, au sadaka ya amani kwa BWANA,

When you bring a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made or as a peace offering to the Lord,

9 Ndipo utakapotoa sadaka ya fahari pamoja na sadaka ya unga ya sehemu za kumi tatu za unga mwembamba uliochanganywa na nusu ya hini ya mafuta.

then you shall also with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

10 Mtatoa sadaka ya kinywaji nusu ya hini ya divai, sadaka iloyotengenezwa kwa moto ili kufanya harufu nzuri kwa BWANA.

Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.

11 Itafanyika hivi kwa kila fahari, kwa kila kondoo dume, na kila mwanakondoo dume au mbuzi mchanga.

This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.

12 Kila sdaka utakayoindaa na kuitoa itafanyika kama ilivyoanishwa hapa.

This is what you need to do for each one, however many.

13 Wazawa wote wa Israeli watafanya mambo haya kwa utaratibu huu, yeyote atakayeleta sadaka iliyotengenezwa kwa moto, ili kufanya harufu nzuri kwa BWANA.

Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord.

14 Na kama kuna mgeni anayeishi kati yenu, au yeyote atakayeishi na watu wa vizazi vyenu vyote, lazima atengeneze sadaka iliytoengenezwa kwa moto, ili kutoa harufu nzuri kwa BWANA. Atafanya kama mnavyofanya.

This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do.

15 Kutakuwa na sheria hiyo hiyo kwa watu wote na kwa mgeni anayeishi kati yenu, sheria ya kudumu kwa watu wote wa uzao wako. Ninyi mlivyo, ndivyo atakavyokuwa mgeni aliyeishi kati yenu. Atafanya kama mnavyofanya mbele ya BWANA.

The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law.

16 Sheria na amri hiyohiyo ndiyo itakayotumika kwa mgeni anayeishi kati yenu.”

The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”

17 Tena BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,

Then the Lord told Moses,

18 “Nena wana wa Israeli uwaambie, 'mtakapofika katika nchi ninayowapeleka,

“Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you

19 mtakapokula chakula kinachozalishwa katika nchi hiyo, mtatoa sadaka ya kunipendeza mimi.

and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord.

20 Kutoka kwenye mikate yenu ya kwanza mtatoa mkate wa kuinuliwa kama sadaka iliyoinuliwa kutoka mahali pa kupuria nafaka. Mtaiinua kwa jinsi hii.

You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor.

21 Watu wa uzao wako wote wtanitolea sadaka ya kuinuliwa kutoka kwenye unga wenu wa kwanza.

For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.

22 Wakati mwingine mtafanya dhambi pasipo kukusudia, Kama hamtatii amri zote hizi ambazo nimemwambia Musa

Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given Moses—

23 -kila kitu ambacho nimewaamuru kupitia Musa kuanzia siku ambayo nilianza kuwaamuru na kuendelea kwa watu wote wa uzao wako.

everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations—

24 Kwa swala la dhambi isiyokusudiwa ambayo watu wote hawaijui, basi watu wote watatoa fahari mchanga sadaka ya kuteketezwa ili kufanya harufu nzuri kwa BWANA. Pamoja na haya yote, lazima itengenezwe sadaka ya unga na sadaka ya kinywaji, kama ilivyoagaizwa katika amri, na beberu mmoja kuwa sadaka ya dhambi.

and if it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering.

25 Kuhani atafanya sadaka upatanisho kwa watu wote wa Israeli. Watasemehewa kwa sababu dhambi haikukusudiwa. Wametoa sadaka yao, sadaka iliyotengenezwa kwa moto kwa ajili yangu. Wameleta sadaka yao kwangu iliyotengenezwa kwa moto. Wameleta sadaka yao ya uovu mbele yangu kwa ajili ya kosa lao.

In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with an burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

26 Ndipo watu wote wa Israeli watasamehewa, pia wageni wote wanaoishi kati yao, kwa sababu watu wote walitenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia.

Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.

27 Kama mtu atatenda dhambi bila kukusudia, atatoa mbuzi jike wa umri wa mwaka mmoja kuwa sadaka ya dhambi.

In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

28 Naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa BWANA kwa ajili ya mtu yule aliyefanya dhambi pasipo kukusudia. Yule mtu atasamehewa baada ya upatanisho kufanyika.

The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven.

29 Mtakuwa na sheria hiyohiyo kwa mtu yeyote anayefanya dhambi hiyo pasipo kukusudia, sheria hiyohiyo hata kwa mzawa wa Isreli na kwa wageni wanaoishi kati yao.

You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.

30 Lakini mtu afanyaye chochote kwa KUkusudia, awe mzawa au mgeni, ananikufuru mimi. Huyo mtu ataondolewa kati ya watu wake.

But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord. They shall be expelled from their people.

31 Kwa sababu atakuwa amedharau neno langu na amevunja neno amri yangu, mtu huyo ataondolewa kabisa. Dhambi yake itakuwa juu yake.'”

They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”

32 Wakati wana wa Israeli walipokuwa katika jangwa, wakamuona mwanamume akikusanya kuni sikiu ya Sabato.

During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath.

33 Wale waliomwona wakamleta kwa Musa, Haruni na kwa watu wote.

The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites.

34 Wakamweka kifungoni kwa sababu ilikuwa haijaamuliwa atakachotendewa.

They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him.

35 Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, “Yule mwanamume lazima auawe. Watu wote lazima wampige kwa mawe nje ya kambi.”

The Lord told Moses, “This man has to be executed. All the Israelites are to stone him outside the camp.”

36 Kwa hiyo watu wote wakamtoa nje ya kambi nao wakampiga kwa mawe mpaka akafa kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa.

So they all took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had ordered Moses.

37 BWANA akanena na Musa tena, akasema,

Sometime later the Lord told Moses,

38 “Waambie wana wa Israeli na uwaamuru wajifanyie vishada wavining'inize katika mapindo ya mavazi yao, wavining'ineze katika ncha zote kwa nyuzi za rangi ya samawi. Watu wote watafanya hivi kwa watu wote wa kizazi chote.

“Tell the Israelites that for all future generations you must make tassels for the hems of your clothes and attach them with blue cord.

39 Huu utakuwa ukumbusho maalumu kwenu, kila mtakapovitazama, mtakumbuka amri zangu, na kuzishika ili kwamba msije mkatangatanga katika mioyo na macho yenu na kuwa waasherati wa hayo.

When you look at these tassels you will be reminded to keep all the commandments of the Lord and not be unfaithful, following your own thoughts and desires.

40 Fanyeni hivi ili kwamba mweze kukumbuka na kutii amri zangu zote, na ili kwamba mpate kuwa watakatifu, waliotunzwa kwa ajili yangu, Mungu wenu.

In this way you'll remember to keep all my commandments and you will be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to be your God.

41 Mimi ndimi BWANA Mungu wenu niliyekutoa toka nchi ya Misri, ili niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi BWANA Mungu wenu.”

I am the Lord your God!”
