Hesabu 19
1 BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni, Akasema,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
2 “Hii ni amri, ni sheria ninayokuamuru: Waambie wana waIsraeli wakuletee ng'ombe mke mwekundu asiyekuwa na kipaku wala waa, ambaye hajawahi kubeba nira.
This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying: Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer, faultless, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke.
3 Mpatie Eliazari kuhani huyo ng'ombe jike. Naye atamtoa nje ya kambi, na mtu mmoja amchinje mbele yake.
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and she shall be brought forth without the camp, and she shall be slain before his face.
4 Kisha Eliazari kuhani atachukua sehemu ya damu yake kwa kidole chake na kuinyunyiza mara saba akielekea sehemu ya mbele ya ile hema ya kukutania.
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.
5 Na kuhani mwingine atamchoma huyo ng'ombe mbele ya macho yake. Ataichoma ngozi yake, nyama yake, na damu yake pamoja na mavi yake,
And the heifer shall be burnt in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall be burnt.
6 Yule kuhani atachukua mti wa mwerezi, na hisopo na sufu na kivitupa katikati ya huyo ng'ombe anayechomwa.
And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7 Kisha atazifua nguo zake na kuoga kwenye maji. Ndipo atakuja kambini, ambapo atabaki najisi mpaka jioni ya siku hiyo.
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
8 Yule aliyemchoma huyo ng'ombe mke atafua nguo zake kwa maji na kuoga majini. Naye atabaki najisi mpaka jioni ya siku ile.
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
9 Baadaye mtu aliyesafi atayakusanya hayo majivu ya ng'ombe huyo na kuyaweka nje ya kambi kwenye eneo safi. Majivu haya yatatunzwa kwa ajili ya jamii ya watu wa Israeli. Watayachanganya majivu na maji kwa ajili ya utakaso wa dhambi, kwa kuwa majivu yalitokana na sadaka ya dhambi.
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of sprinkling; it is a purification from sin.
10 Yule aliyeyakusanya majivu ya ng'ombe huyo lazima afue mavazi yake. Atabaki najisi mpaka jioni ya siku ile. Hii itakuwa sheria ya kudumu kwa watu wa Israeli na kwa wageni wanaoishi nao.
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
11 Yeyote atakayegusa maiti ya mtu atakuwa najisi kwa siku saba.
He that toucheth the dead, even any man's dead body, shall be unclean seven days;
12 Mtu wa jinsi hiyo atajitakasa mwenyewe siku ya tatu na siku ya saba. Ndipo atakapokuwa safi. Lakini kama hatajitakasa mwenyewe katika siku ya tatu, basi hatakuwa safi siku ya saba.
the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day and on the seventh day, and he shall be clean; but if he purify not himself the third day and the seventh day, he shall not be clean.
13 Yeyote atakayegusa mtu aliyekufa, maiti ya mtu aliyekufa na hajajitakasa - mtu huyu anainajisi masikani ya BWANA. Mtu huyo ataondolewa kuwa miongoni mwa Waisraeli kwa sababu maji ya farakano hayakunyunyiziwa kwake. Atabaki najisi; na unajisi wake utabaki kwake.
Whosoever toucheth the dead, even the body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself — he hath defiled the tabernacle of the LORD — that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water of sprinkling was not dashed against him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
14 Hii ndiyo sheri ya mtu anayefia hemani. Kila mtu aingiaye hemani na kila mtu ambaye tayari yumo hemani atakuwa najisi kwa siku saba.
This is the law: when a man dieth in a tent, every one that cometh into the tent, and every thing that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 Kila chombo ambacho hakina kifuniko kinanajisika.
And every open vessel, which hath no covering close-bound upon it, is unclean.
16 Vivyo hivyo, kwa mtu aliye nje ya hema ambaye atamgusa mtu aliyeuawa kwa upanga, au mzoga wowote, au mfupa wa mtu, au kaburi—mtu huyo atakuwa najisi kwa siku saba.
And whosoever in the open field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or one that dieth of himself, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 Fanyeni hivi kwa mtu najisi: twaeni majivu ya sadaka ya dhaambi ya kuteketezwa na myacahanganye kwenye chombo chenye maji ya mto.
And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the purification from sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel.
18 Ndipo mtu aliye safi atachukua hisopo, na kutia katika hayo maji, na kunyunyizia juu ya hema, na katika vyombo vyote vilivyo hemani, na kwa watu waliokuwepo, na kwa yule aliyegusa ule mfupa, mtu aliyeuawa, maiti, au kaburi.
And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave.
19 Katika siku ya tatu na siku ya saba, yule mtu aliye msafi atamnyunyizia yule mtu asiyekuwa safi. Katika siku ya saba mtu najisi atajitakasa mwenyewe. Atazifua nguo zake na kuoga kwenye maji. Jioni yake atakuwa safi.
And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
20 Lakini yule atakayebaki najisi, anayekataa kujitakasa mwenyewe — huyo mtu ataondolewa kutoka kwenye jamii, kwa sababu amepanajisi patakatifu pa BWANA. Hajanyunyiziwa maji ya utakaso; atabaki najisi.
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD; the water of sprinkling hath not been dashed against him: he is unclean.
21 Hii itakuwa sheria ya kudumu kuhusiana na hali ya hivi. Yule mtu anayenyunyizia maji ya farakano atafua mavazi yake. Yule atakayeyagusa maji ya farakano atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them; and he that sprinkleth the water of sprinkling shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until even.
22 Chochote kile ambacho kitaguswa na mtu najisi kitakuwa najisi. na mtu atakayekigusa naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth him shall be unclean until even.
