Hesabu 19
1 BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni, Akasema,
And Jehovah speaketh 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] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;
3 Mpatie Eliazari kuhani huyo ng'ombe jike. Naye atamtoa nje ya kambi, na mtu mmoja amchinje mbele yake.
and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it 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 hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against 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 [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;
6 Yule kuhani atachukua mti wa mwerezi, na hisopo na sufu na kivitupa katikati ya huyo ng'ombe anayechomwa.
and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the cow;
7 Kisha atazifua nguo zake na kuoga kwenye maji. Ndipo atakuja kambini, ambapo atabaki najisi mpaka jioni ya siku hiyo.
and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till 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 who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till 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.
'And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];
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 who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.
11 Yeyote atakayegusa maiti ya mtu atakuwa najisi kwa siku saba.
'He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is 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 doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not 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.
Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still 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 who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is unclean seven days;
15 Kila chombo ambacho hakina kifuniko kinanajisika.
and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread 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 every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is 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 have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto 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 hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a 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 hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been 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.
'And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon 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 hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,
22 Chochote kile ambacho kitaguswa na mtu najisi kitakuwa najisi. na mtu atakayekigusa naye atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni.
and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.'
