Hesabu 6
1 BWANA alinena na Musa. Akamwabia,
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 'Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, 'Kama mume au mke ataweka nadhiri kwa BWANA kwa kiapo maalumu cha mnadhiri, ndipo atajiepusha na divai na vileo. hatakunywa siki itokanayo na divai.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If any of you [wants to] make a solemn promise to dedicate himself to belong to me in a special way, [after you obey these instructions], you will be called a Nazir-man, [which means “dedicated man”].
3 Asinywe kileo kitokanacho na siki au kilevi. Asinywe maji ya divai yeyote au kula zabibu mbichi wala zilizokauka.
You must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink any vinegar made from wine or from any other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
4 Katika siku zote ambazo amejitenga kwa ajili yangu, asile chochote kinachotokana na zabibu, wala kitu chochote kitokanacho na makokwa hadi maganda.
You must not eat anything that comes from grapevines, not even the skins or seeds of grapes, during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
5 Wakati wote wa nadhiri yake, wembe usiipite kichwani mwake mpaka siku zake za nadhiri kwa BWANA zitimilike. Lazima ajitenge kwa BWANA. Ataziacha nywele zake zikue kichwani mwake.
‘Even your hair will be dedicated to me during the time that you area Nazir-man, so you must never allow anyone to cut your hair. Until the time that your solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me is ended, you must allow your hair to grow long.
6 Wakati wote wa kujidhiri kwake kwa BWANA, asiikaribie maiti.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Asijinajisi kwa namna yeyote hata kama atakufa baba yake, mama, dada, au ndugu yake. Hii ni kwa sababu amejitenga kwa ajili ya Mungu, kama ambavyo kila mmoja anavyoweza kumuona kwa uerfu wa nywele zake.
Even if the person who died is your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, you must not cause yourself to become unacceptable to me [by coming close to the corpse]. Your long hair [MTY] shows that you belong to me in a special way, so you must not cut your hair.
8 Wakati wote wa kujidhiri kwake atakuwa mtakatifu, alijitunza kwa ajili ya BWANA.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 Ikitokea mtu amekufa ghafla pembeni yake na kukitia unajisi kichwa chake kitakatifu, ndipo atakaponyoa kichwa chake katika siku ya kujitakasa —Siku ya saba atanyoa kichwa chake.
‘If anyone dies very suddenly when he is near you, then your hair that you have dedicated to me is no longer sacred. So you must wait seven days and then shave it all off. Then you must perform a special ritual to cause yourself to become acceptable to me again.
10 Siku ya nane atamletea kuhani njiwa wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Naye kuhani atamtoa ndege mmoja kama sadaka ya dhambi na mwingine kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Hawa watafanyika sadaka ya upatanisho kwake kwa sababu atakuwa ametenda dhambi ya kuwa karibu na mfu. Atatakasika kichwa chake siku hiyo.
‘The priest must [kill the birds and] offer them as sacrifices. One of them will be an offering to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed, and the other will be an offering that is burned completely to please me. [After the priest burns them on the altar], I will forgive you for having come close to a corpse, and [when] your hair [grows again it] will be dedicated to me again.
12 Atajitenga kwa BWANA tena katika siku hizo za utakaso. Ataleta kondoo mume mwenye umri wa mwaka mmoja kama sadaka ya hatia. Zile siku zake kabla ya kunajisika hazitahesabiwa, kwa sababu kujiweka wakfu kwake kulinajisika.
The amount of time that you were set apart for me the previous time does not count, because you had become unacceptable to me [by coming close to a corpse] during the time that you were a Nazir-man. So you must again make a solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me for the entire amount of time that you indicated the previous time. And you must also sacrifice a one-year-old lamb for not doing what you were required to do.
13 Hii ndiyo sheria ya mnadhiri wakati wa muda wa kujidhiri unapokuwa umetimia. Ataletwa kwenye mlango wa hema ya kukutania.
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 Ataleta sadaka yake kwa BWANA. Atatoa mwanakondoo mume wa mwaka mmoja asiye na hila kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Ataleta kondoo mke wa mwaka mmoja asiye na hila kama sadaka ya dhambi. Ataleta kondoo mume asiye na hila kama sadaka ya amani.
and offer as sacrifices to me three animals that have no defects: Offer a one-year-old ram that will be burned completely, a one-year-old female lamb as a sacrifice to enable me to forgive your sins, and one full-grown ram as a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
15 Ataleta kikapu cha mikate iliyotengenezwa bila amira, mikate ya unga mwembamba iliyokandwa kwa mafuta, mikate ya kaki isiyo na amira iliyopakwa mafuta, pamoja na sadaka za unga na sadaka za vinywaji.
‘When you bring those animals, you must also bring some wine to offer as a sacrifice. And you must also bring a basket of bread that you have made with very good flour and [olive] oil. But you must not put any yeast in the bread. Also brush/spread some [olive] oil on some thin wafers and bring them to the priest.
16 Kuhani atawaleta mbele za BWANA. Atazitoa hizo sadaka zake za dhambi na kuteketezwa.
‘The priest will put the young lamb and the young ram on the altar and completely burn them, in order that I will be pleased and will forgive you for your sins.
17 Na kikapu cha mikate isiyowekwa amira, atamtoa yule kondoo mume kama sadaka ya amani kwa BWANA. Pia kuhani atatoa hiyo sadaka ya unga na sadaka ya vinywaji.
Then he will kill the full-grown ram as an offering to restore fellowship with me, and he will also burn on the altar some of the bread and the grain and wine.
18 Mnadhiri atanyoa nywele zake kama ishara ya kujitenga kwa ajili ya Mungu kwenye mlango wa hema ya kukutania. Atazitoa nywele zake kichwani kwake na kuzichoma kwa moto ulio chini ya sadaka ya amani.
‘After that, you must [stand at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent and shave off your hair. Then you must put that hair in the fire that is under the [animal that has been sacrificed] on the altar to maintain fellowship with me.
19 Kuhani atachukua bega la kondoo mume lililotokoswa, na mkate usiotiwa amira toka kikapuni, na mkate mmoja wa kaki usiotiwa amira. Atauweka kwenye mikono ya Mnadhiri baada ya kuwa amenyoa nywele kwa ishara ya kujidhiri.
‘The meat from the ram’s shoulder must be boiled. After it is cooked, the priest will take it along with one of the loaves of bread and one wafer which has been brushed with [olive] oil, and he will put them in your hands.
20 Kisha kuhani atavitikisa kuwa sadaka kwa BWANA, sehemu takatifu kwa kuhani, pamoja na kidari cha kutikiswa na paja lililotolewa kwa kwa kuhani. Baadaye, Mnadhiri anaweza kunywa divai.
Then the priest will [take them back and] lift them up high to dedicate them to me. They now belong to the priest, and he is permitted to eat some of the meat from the ram’s shoulder and from its ribs and from one of its thighs, because that meat is his share of the sacrifice. After that, you will no longer be a Nazir-man, and you will again be permitted to drink wine.
21 Hii ndiyo sheri ya Mnadhiri anayeapia sadaka yake kwa BWANA kwa ajili ya kujidhiri kwake. Chochote atakachotoa, lazima afanye kama alivyoapa, kuilinda ahadi yake kama ilivyoaniswa katika sheria ya Mnadhiri.
‘Those are the regulations about the offerings that Nazir-men solemnly promise to bring to me to end their time of being dedicated to me. They must bring these offerings, but if they want to, they may bring additional offerings. And they must do everything that they solemnly promised to do when they dedicated themselves to me.’”
22 Tena BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 “nena na Harunu na wanawe. Uwaambie, 'mtawabariki wana wa Israeli kwa njia hii. Mtawaambia,
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 BWANA na awabariki na kuwatunza.
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 BWANA na awaangazie nuru ya uso wake na awe mwenye neema kwenu.
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 BWANA na awatazame kwa neema na awape amani.'”
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Ni kwa jinsi hii kwamba wanaweza kuwapa jina langu wana wa Israeli.”
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
