1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
Nena na Haruni na wanawe, ili wajitenge wenyewe na vitu vitakatifu vya wana wa Israeli ambavyo wanitakasia mimi, tena kwamba wasilinajisi jina langu takatifu; mimi ndimi Bwana.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
Waambie, Mtu ye yote wa kizazi chenu chote katika vizazi vyenu, atakayevikaribia vile vitu vitakatifu, ambavyo wana wa Israeli wamtakasia Bwana, naye ana unajisi, mtu huyo atakatiliwa mbali asiwe mbele zangu; mimi ndimi Bwana.
4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
Mtu ye yote wa kizazi cha Haruni aliye mwenye ukoma, au mwenye kisonono; yeye asile katika vitu vitakatifu, hata atakapokuwa safi. Tena mtu awaye yote atakayekinusa kitu kilicho na unajisi kwa sababu ya wafu, au mtu ambaye shahawa humtoka;
5 or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
au mtu amgusaye mnyama atambaaye, wa kumpatia unajisi, au kwamba amgusa mtu wa kumpatia unajisi, kwa unajisi wo wote alio nao;
6 the soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
huyo mtu atakayegusa kitu cho chote namna hiyo atakuwa najisi hata jioni, naye hatakula katika vitu vitakatifu, asipooga mwili wake majini.
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
Jua likiisha kuchwa atakuwa safi; kisha baadaye atakula katika vitu vitakatifu, maana ni chakula chake.
8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts , he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
Nyamafu au mnyama aliyeraruliwa na wanyama asile, asijitie unajisi kwa hiyo nyama; mimi ndimi Bwana.
9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
Basi kwa hiyo watayashika mausia yangu, wasije wakachukua dhambi kwa hayo, nao wakafa humo, wakiyanajisi; mimi ndimi Bwana niwatakasaye.
10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Mgeni awaye yote asile katika kitu kitakatifu; mgeni wa kuhani akaaye kwake, au mtumishi aliyeajiriwa, asile katika kitu kitakatifu.
11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
Lakini kwamba kuhani akinunua mtu ye yote, kwa kumnunua kwa fedha zake, yeye atakula katika hicho; na hao waliozaliwa nyumbani mwake watakula katika chakula chake.
12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
Na binti ya kuhani kwamba ameolewa na mgeni, asile katika sadaka ya kuinuliwa katika vitu vile vitakatifu.
13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
Lakini kwamba binti ya kuhani ni mjane, au kwamba ameachwa na mumewe, wala hana mtoto, kisha amerudi na kuketi katika nyumba ya baba yake, kama vile katika ujana wake, yeye atakula katika chakula cha baba yake; lakini mgeni awaye yote asile katika chakula hicho.
14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
Tena kama mtu ye yote akila katika kitu kilicho kitakatifu pasipo kukijua, ndipo ataongeza sehemu ya tano juu ya kitu hicho, na kumpa kuhani kitu hicho kitakatifu.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
Wala wasivinajisi vitu vitakatifu vya wana wa Israeli, wavisongezavyo kwa Bwana;
16 or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
hata wakawatwika ule uovu uletao hatia, hapo walapo vitu vyao vitakatifu; kwa kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana niwatakasaye.
17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
Nena na Haruni na wanawe, na wana wa israeli wote, uwaambie, Mtu ye yote wa nyumba ya Israeli, au wa wageni walio katika Israeli, atakayetoa matoleo yake, kama ni nadhiri zao mojawapo, au kama ni sadaka yo yote ya hiari, watakayomtolea Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa;
19 ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
ili mpate kukubaliwa, mtaleta mume mkamilifu, katika ng'ombe, au katika kondoo, au katika mbuzi.
20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Lakini mnyama ye yote aliye na kilema msimtoe; kwa kuwa hatakubaliwa kwa ajili yenu.
21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
Na mtu awaye yote atakayemtolea Bwana dhabihu katika sadaka za amani, ili kuondoa nadhiri, au sadaka ya moyo wa kupenda, katika ng'ombe, au katika kondoo, atakuwa mkamilifu, apate kukubaliwa; pasiwe na kilema ndani yake cho chote.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
Kipofu, au aliyevunjika mahali, au kiwete au aliye na vidonda, au aliye na upele, au aliye na kikoko, hamtamtolea Bwana wanyama hao, wala msiwasongeze kwa Bwana kwa njia ya moto juu ya madhabahu.
23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
Ng'ombe, au mwana-kondoo aliye na kitu kilichozidi, au aliyepungukiwa na kitu katika vitu vya mwilini mwake, mna ruhusa kutoa kuwa sadaka ya moyo wa kupenda; lakini kwa ajili ya nadhiri hatakubaliwa.
24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
Mnyama aliyeumia mapumbu yake, au kusetwa, au kuvunjwa, au kukatwa, msimtolee Bwana; wala msifanye hivi katika nchi yenu.
25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
Wala msisongeze chakula cha Mungu wenu katika wanyama hao mmojawapo kitokacho mkononi mwa mgeni; kwa sababu uharibifu wao u ndani yao, wana kilema ndani yao; hawatakubaliwa kwa ajili yenu.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Hapo ng'ombe, au kondoo, au mbuzi, akizaliwa, atakuwa pamoja na mamaye muda wa siku saba; na siku ya nane na baadaye atakubaliwa kuwa ni sadaka ya kutolewa kwa Bwana kwa njia ya moto.
28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
Tena kama ni ng'ombe, au kama ni kondoo, msimchinje huyo na mwanawe wote wawili kwa siku moja.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.
Tena mtakapomchinjia Bwana dhabihu ya shukrani, mtamchinja ili mpate kukubaliwa.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
Italiwa siku iyo hiyo; msisaze kitu chake hata asubuhi; mimi ndimi Bwana.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Kwa hiyo mtayashika maagizo yangu, na kuyafanya; mimi ndimi Bwana.
32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
Wala msilinajisi jina langu takatifu; lakini nitatakaswa mimi katika wana wa Israeli; mimi ndimi Bwana niwatakasaye ninyi,
33 that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
niliyewaleta mtoke nchi ya Misri, ili niwe Mungu wenu; mimi ndimi Bwana.
