Hesabu 8 English–Swahili Bible (KJV)

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,

² Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
Nena na Haruni, ukamwambie, Utakapoziweka taa, hizo taa saba zitatoa nuru hapo mbele ya kinara cha taa.

³ And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Basi Haruni akafanya; akaziweka taa zake ili zitoe nuru hapo mbele ya kinara, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.

⁴ And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Na hii ndiyo kazi ya hicho kinara cha taa, ilikuwa ni kazi ya ufuzi wa dhahabu; tangu tako lake hata maua yake kilikuwa ni kazi ya ufuzi; vile vile kama ule mfano Bwana aliokuwa amemwonyesha Musa, ndivyo alivyokifanya kinara.

⁶ Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
Watwae Walawi na kuwaondoa kati ya wana wa Israeli, kisha uwatakase.

⁷ And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
Nawe utawafanyia mambo haya ili kuwatakasa; nyunyiza juu yao maji yatakasayo dhambi, nao wajinyoe kwa wembe mwili wote, kisha wazifue nguo zao, na kujitakasa.

⁸ Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
Kisha na watwae ng'ombe mume mmoja mchanga, na sadaka yake ya unga, unga mwembamba uliochanganywa na mafuta, nawe utatwaa ng'ombe mume mchanga mwingine kuwa sadaka ya dhambi.

⁹ And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
Nawe utawahudhurisha Walawi mbele ya hema ya kukutania; nawe utaukutanisha mkutano wote wa wana wa Israeli;

¹⁰ and thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
nawe utawahudhurisha Walawi mbele za Bwana; kisha wana wa Israeli wataweka mikono yao juu ya Walawi;

¹¹ and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
naye Haruni atawasongeza Walawi mbele za Bwana wawe sadaka ya kutikiswa, kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli, ili wawe wenye kufanya utumishi wa Bwana.

¹² And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
Kisha Walawi wataweka mikono yao juu ya vichwa vya hao ng'ombe; nawe umtoe mmoja kuwa sadaka ya dhambi kwa Bwana, na huyo wa pili awe sadaka ya kuteketezwa, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya Walawi.

¹³ And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
Kisha utawaweka Walawi mbele ya Haruni, na mbele ya wanawe na kuwasongeza kwa Bwana wawe sadaka ya kutikiswa.

¹⁵ And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
Kisha baadaye Walawi wataingia ndani, ili wafanye utumishi wa hema ya kukutania; nawe utawatakasa, na kuwasongeza wawe sadaka ya kutikiswa.

¹⁶ For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
Kwa kuwa nimepewa kabisa mimi watu hawa kutoka katika wana wa Israeli; badala ya wote wafunguao mimba, maana, wazaliwa wa kwanza wa wana wa Israeli wote, nimewatwaa wawe wangu.

¹⁷ For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
Kwa kuwa wazaliwa wa kwanza wote katika wana wa Israeli ni wangu, wa wanadamu na wa wanyama; siku hiyo niliyowapiga wazaliwa wa kwanza wote katika nchi ya Misri niliwatakasa kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe.

¹⁸ And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
Nami nimewatwaa Walawi badala ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wote walio katika wana wa Israeli.

¹⁹ And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service 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 nigh unto the sanctuary.
Nami nimempa Haruni hao Walawi wawe kipawa chake yeye na wanawe, kutoka kwa wana wa Israeli, ili watumike utumishi wa wana wa Israeli katika hema ya kukutania, kisha wafanye upatanisho kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli; ili kusiwe na maradhi kati ya wana wa Israeli, hapo wana wa Israeli watakapopakaribia mahali patakatifu.

²¹ And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
Walawi wakajitakasa na dhambi, nao wakafua nguo zao; kisha Haruni akawasongeza mbele za Bwana wawe sadaka ya kutikiswa; Haruni akafanya kwa ajili yao ili kuwatakasa.

²² And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
Kisha baada ya hayo Walawi wakaingia ili wafanye utumishi wao ndani ya hema ya kukutania mbele ya Haruni na mbele ya wanawe; kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa kwa habari za hao Walawi, ndivyo walivyowafanyia.

²⁴ This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Mambo yawapasayo hao Walawi ni haya; tangu waliopata umri wa miaka ishirini na mitano na zaidi wataingia ndani ili watumike utumishi katika kazi ya hema ya kukutania;

²⁵ and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof , and shall serve no more:
tena tangu waliopata umri wa miaka hamsini wataacha kutumika huo utumishi, wasitumike tena;

²⁶ but shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
lakini watatumika pamoja na ndugu zao katika hema ya kukutania, kushika ulinzi, lakini wasitumike katika huo utumishi tena. Ndivyo utakavyowafanyia Walawi katika mambo ya ulinzi wao.
