1 BWANA alinena na Musa. Akamwabia,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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.
“Speak to the people of Israel. Say to them, 'When a man or a woman separates himself to Yahweh with a special vow of a Nazirite,
3 Asinywe kileo kitokanacho na siki au kilevi. Asinywe maji ya divai yeyote au kula zabibu mbichi wala zilizokauka.
he must keep himself from wine and strong drink. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or from strong drink. He must not drink any grape juice or eat fresh 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.
In all the days that he is separate to me, he must eat nothing that is made from grapes, including everything made from the seeds to their skins.
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.
During all the time of his vow of separation, no razor is to be used on his head until the days of his separation to Yahweh are fulfilled. He must be set apart to Yahweh. He must let the hair grow long on his head.
6 Wakati wote wa kujidhiri kwake kwa BWANA, asiikaribie maiti.
During all the time that he separates himself to Yahweh, he must not come near a dead body.
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.
He must not make himself unclean even for his father, mother, brother, or sister, if they die. This is because he is separated to God, as everyone can see by his long hair.
8 Wakati wote wa kujidhiri kwake atakuwa mtakatifu, alijitunza kwa ajili ya BWANA.
During all the time of his separation he is holy, reserved for Yahweh.
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 someone very suddenly dies beside him and defiles his consecrated head, then he must shave his head on the day of his purification—on the seventh day he must shave it.
10 Siku ya nane atamletea kuhani njiwa wawili au makinda mawili ya njiwa kwenye lango la hema ya kukutania.
On the eighth day he must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
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 offer one bird as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. These will atone for him because he sinned by being near the dead body. He must consecrate his head again on that day.
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.
He must set himself apart to Yahweh for the days of his consecration. He must bring a male lamb one year old as a guilt offering. The days before he defiled himself must not be counted, because his consecration was defiled.
13 Hii ndiyo sheria ya mnadhiri wakati wa muda wa kujidhiri unapokuwa umetimia. Ataletwa kwenye mlango wa hema ya kukutania.
This is the law about the Nazirite for when the time of his separation is complete. He must be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting.
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.
He must present his offering to Yahweh. He must offer as a burnt offering a male lamb one year old and without blemish. He must bring as a sin offering a female lamb one year old and without blemish. He must bring a ram as a fellowship offering that is without blemish.
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.
He must also bring a basket of bread made without yeast, loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, wafers without yeast rubbed with oil, together with their grain offering and drink offerings.
16 Kuhani atawaleta mbele za BWANA. Atazitoa hizo sadaka zake za dhambi na kuteketezwa.
The priest must present them before Yahweh. He must offer his sin offering and burnt offering.
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.
With the basket of unleavened bread, he must present the ram as a sacrifice, the fellowship offering to Yahweh. The priest must present also the grain offering and the drink offering.
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.
The Nazirite must shave his head indicating his separation to God at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He must take the hair from his head and put it on the fire that is under the sacrifice of fellowship offerings.
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 priest must take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one loaf of bread without yeast out of the basket, and one wafer without yeast. He must place them into the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his head indicating separation.
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.
The priest must wave them as an offering before Yahweh, a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented for the priest. After that, the Nazirite may 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.
This is the law for the Nazirite who vows his offering to Yahweh for his separation. Whatever else he may give, he must keep the obligations of the vow he has taken, to keep the promise indicated by the law for the Nazirite.'”
22 Tena BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,
Again Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
23 “nena na Harunu na wanawe. Uwaambie, 'mtawabariki wana wa Israeli kwa njia hii. Mtawaambia,
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons. Say, 'You must bless the people of Israel in this way. You must say to them,
24 BWANA na awabariki na kuwatunza.
“May Yahweh bless you and keep you.
25 BWANA na awaangazie nuru ya uso wake na awe mwenye neema kwenu.
May Yahweh make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
26 BWANA na awatazame kwa neema na awape amani.'”
May Yahweh look on you with favor and give you peace.”'
27 Ni kwa jinsi hii kwamba wanaweza kuwapa jina langu wana wa Israeli.”
It is in this way that they must give my name to the people of Israel. Then I will bless them.”
