Hesabu 19
1 BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni, Akasema,
And Yahweh spake 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 Yahweh hath commanded, saying, —Speak unto the sons of Israel—That they bring unto thee a red heifer, without defect wherein is no blemish, and whereupon hath come no yoke.
3 Mpatie Eliazari kuhani huyo ng'ombe jike. Naye atamtoa nje ya kambi, na mtu mmoja amchinje mbele yake.
Then shall ye give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall take her forth unto the outside of the camp, and she shall be slain before him;
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 shall sprinkle towards the front of the tent of meeting: of her blood, 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 burned up before his eyes, —her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung shall be burned up.
6 Yule kuhani atachukua mti wa mwerezi, na hisopo na sufu na kivitupa katikati ya huyo ng'ombe anayechomwa.
Then shall the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and crimson, —and cast into the midst of the burning up of the heifer.
7 Kisha atazifua nguo zake na kuoga kwenye maji. Ndipo atakuja kambini, ambapo atabaki najisi mpaka jioni ya siku hiyo.
And the priest shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards come into the camp, —but the priest shall be unclean until the evening,
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 be unclean until the evening,
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.
Then shall a man that is clean gather up the ashes of the heifer, and put them by, outside the camp, in a clean place, —so shall they be for the assembly of the sons of Israel to keep for water of separation it is a taking away of 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.
Then shall he that gathered up the ashes wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —so shall it be for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst by a statute age-abiding.
11 Yeyote atakayegusa maiti ya mtu atakuwa najisi kwa siku saba.
He that toucheth the dead, even any human person, 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.
He, shall cleanse himself from sin therewith on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he be clean, —but if he cleanse not himself from sin on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he 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 the person of the human being that dieth and doth not cleanse himself from sin, the habitation of Yahweh, hath he made unclean; that person therefore shall be cut off out of Israel, —because, the water of separation, was not dashed upon him, unclean, shall he be, 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 human being, shall die in a tent, every one who goeth into the tent and every one who is in the tent shall be unclean seven days.
15 Kila chombo ambacho hakina kifuniko kinanajisika.
And, in the case of every open vessel, on which no cover is fastened, unclean, it is.
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 toucheth on the face of the field, one slain with a sword, or one who hath died, or a human bone 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 they shall take, for him that is unclean, of the ashes of the burning of the sin-bearer, —and living water shall be put thereon 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.
Then shall a man that is clean take hyssop, and dip in the water, and sprinkle upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons who were there, —and upon him that touched the bone or him who had been slain, or him who had died of himself 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, —so shall he cleanse himself from sin, on the seventh day, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water and be clean in the evening.
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 in the case of the man who shall be unclean and shall not cleanse himself from sin, that person shall be cut off, out of the midst of the convocation, —for, the sanctuary of Yahweh, hath he made unclean, the water of separation, hath not been dashed upon him unclean, he is.
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.
So shall it be unto them for statute age-abiding, —and, he that sprinkleth the water of separation, shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until the evening;
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 person who toucheth it shall be unclean until the evening.
