Hesabu 8
1 BWANA akanena na Musa, akamwambia,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 “Sema na Haruni umwambie, 'zile taa saba lazima zimulike mbele ya kinara utakapoziwasha,”
Speake vnto Aaron, and say vnto him, When thou lightest the lampes, the seuen lampes shall giue light towarde the forefront of the Candlesticke.
3 Haruni alifanya haya. Aliziwasha zile taa juu ya kinara ili ziangaze mbele yake kama BWANA alivyomwagiza Musa.
And Aaron did so, lighting the lampes thereof towarde ye forefront of the Candlesticke, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 Kinara kilitengenezwa kwa njia hii kama BWANA alivyomwelekeza Musa muundo wake. Kiitakaiwa kutengenezwa kwa dhahabu kuanzia kwenye kitako chake hadi juu, ndivyo kilivyotakiwa kutengenezwa kwa dhahabu kwa maua hadi juu.
And this was the worke of the Candlesticke, euen of golde beaten out with the hammer, both the shafte, and the flowres thereof was beaten out with the hammer: according to the paterne, which the Lord had shewed Moses, so made he the Candlesticke.
5 Tena, BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
6 '“Uwatwae Walawi kati ya wana wa Israeli na uwatakase.”
Take the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and purifie them.
7 Uwafanyie hivi ili kuwatakasa: Uwanyunyizie maji ya utakaso juu yao. Hakikisha wamenyoa miili yao yote, wafue nguo zao, na kwa njia hii wajitakase wenyewe.
And thus shalt thou doe vnto them, when thou purifiest them, Sprinckle water of purification vpon them, and let them shaue all their flesh, and wash their clothes: so they shalbe cleane.
8 Kisha wachukue fahari mchanga na sadaka ya unga mwembamba uliochanganywa na mafuta. Halafu wachukue fahari mchanga kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
Then they shall take a yong bullocke with his meate offring of fine floure, mingled with oyle, and another yong bullocke shalt thou take for a sinne offring.
9 Uwalete Walawi mbele ya hema ya kukutania, na uwakusanye jamii yote ya wana wa Israeli.
Then thou shalt bring the Leuites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and asseble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
10 Uwalete Walawi mbele yangu, BWANA. Wana wa Israeli wataweka mikono yao juu ya Walawi.
Thou shalt bring the Leuites also before the Lord, and the children of Israel shall put their handes vpon the Leuites.
11 Haruni atawatoa Walawi mbele yangu, kuwa sadaka ya kutikiswa. Atafanya hivi ili kwamba Walawi wanitumikie.
And Aaron shall offer the Leuites before the Lord, as a shake offring of ye childre of Israel, that they may execute the seruice of the Lord.
12 Walawi wataweka mikono yao juu ya hao fahari. Mtatoa fahari mmoja kuwa sadaka ya dhambi na fahari mwingine kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwangu, ili kuwa upatanisho kwa Walawi.
And the Leuites shall put their handes vpon the heades of the bullockes, and make thou the one a sinne offring, and the other a burnt offring vnto the Lord, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Leuites.
13 Walete Walawi mbele ya Haruni na mbele ya wana wake, uwainue kuwa sadaka ya kutikiswa kwa ajili yangu.
And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and before his sonnes, and offer the as a shake offring to the Lord.
14 Kwa njia hii utawatenganisha Walawi toka wana wa Israeli. Walawi watakuwa wangu.
Thus thou shalt separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shall be mine.
15 Baadaye Walawi wataingia ndani ya hema ya kukutania. Utawatakasa. utawatoa kuwa sadaka ya kutikiswa
And afterwarde shall the Leuites goe in, to serue in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt purifie them and offer them, as a shake offering.
16 Fanya hivi kwa sababu wao ni wangu wote kutoka kwa wana wa Israeli. Watachukua nafasi ya kila mzaliwa wa kwanza afunguaye tumbo, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa uzao wa Israeli. Nimewachukua Walawi kwa ajili yangu.
For they are freely giuen vnto me from among the children of Israel, for such as open any wombe: for all the first borne of the children of Israel haue I taken them vnto me.
17 Wazaliwa wa kwanza wote kutoka kwa wana wa Israeli ni wangu, watu wote pamoja na wanyama pia. Siku ile nilipowachukua wazaliwa wa kwanza katika nchi ya Misri, Niliwatenga kwa ajili yangu
For all the first borne of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast: since the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.
18 Nimewachukua Walawi kutoka kwa wana wa Israeli badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza.
And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel,
19 Nimewatoa Walawi kuwa zawadi kwa Haruni na wana wake. Nimewachukua toka wana wa Isreali ili kuwatumikia wana wa Israeli katika hema ya kukutania. Nimewatoa ili kuwa upatanisho kwa watu ili kwamba wasipatwe na mapigo wakati wanapokaribia kwenye eneo takatifu.
And haue giuen the Leuites as a gift vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes from among the children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come neere vnto the Sanctuarie.
20 Musa, Haruni na jamii ya Waisraeli wote waliwafanyia Walawi hivi. Walifanya kila kitu ambacho BWANA alikuwa amemwamuru Musa kuhusu Walawi. Wana wa Israeli wakafanya haya pamoja nao.
Then Moses and Aaron and all the Cogregation of the children of Israel did with the Leuites, according vnto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites: so did the children of Israel vnto them.
21 Walawi wakajitakasa wenyewe na kufua mavazi yao, Na Haruni akawatoa kama sadaka ya kutikiswa kwa BWANA na akafanya upatanisho kwao ili kuwatakasa.
So the Leuites were purified, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offred them as a shake offring before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement for them, to purifie them.
22 Baada ya hayo, Walawi waliingia ndani kufanya utumishi wao katika hema ya kukutania mbele ya Haruni na mbele ya wanawe. Kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwagiza Musa juu ya Walawi. Waliwahudumia Walawi wote kwa jinsi hii.
And after that, went the Leuites in to doe their seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before Aaron and before his sonnes: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites, so they did vnto them.
23 BWANA akanena na Musa tena, Akasema,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
24 “Haya yote ni kwa ajili ya Walawi ambao wana umri wa miaka ishirini na mitano na zaidi. Wataungana na wale wanaohudumia hekaluni.
This also belongeth to the Leuites: from fiue and twentie yeere olde and vpwarde, they shall goe in, to execute their office in the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
25 Wataacha kutoa huduma hii watakapokuwa na umri wa miaka hamsini. Katika umri huu hawatakiwi kuendelea na huduma tena.
And after the age of fiftie yeere, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serue no more:
26 Wanaweza kuwasaidia ndugu zao wanaoendelea kufanya kazi ndani ya hema ya kukutania, lakini hawatakiwai kufanya kazi tena. Utawaelekeza Walawi kuyafahamu haya yote.”
But they shall minister with their brethre in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keepe things committed to their charge, but they shall doe no seruice: thus shalt thou doe vnto the Leuites touching their charges.
