1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
Nena na wana wa Israeli, na kuwaambia, Sikukuu za Bwana, ambazo mtazipigia mbiu kuwa ni makusanyiko matakatifu; hizi ni sikukuu zangu.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
Mtafanya kazi siku sita; lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kustarehe kabisa, kusanyiko takatifu; msifanye kazi ya namna yo yote; ni Sabato kwa Bwana katika makao yenu yote.
4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
Sikukuu za Bwana ni hizi, ni makusanyiko matakatifu, ambayo mtayapigia mbiu kwa nyakati zake.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
Mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wakati wa jioni, ni pasaka ya Bwana.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
Na siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi ule ule ni sikukuu kwa Bwana ya mkate usiotiwa chachu; mtaila mikate isiyochachwa muda wa siku saba.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Siku ya kwanza mtakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu msifanye kazi yo yote ya utumishi.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein .
Lakini mtasongeza sadaka kwa Bwana kwa njia ya moto siku saba; siku ya saba ni kusanyiko takatifu; msifanye kazi yo yote ya utumishi.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Hapo mtakapokuwa mmekwisha ingia hiyo nchi niwapayo, na kuyavuna mavuno yake, ndipo mtakapomletea kuhani mganda wa malimbuko ya mavuno yenu;
11 and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
naye atautikisa mganda mbele za Bwana ili kwamba ukubaliwe kwa ajili yenu; siku ya pili baada ya Sabato kuhani atautikisa.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
Na siku hiyo mtakayoutikisa mganda, mtamsongeza mwana-kondoo wa kiume mkamilifu wa mwaka wa kwanza awe sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
Na sadaka yake ya unga itakuwa sehemu za kumi mbili za efa za unga mwembamba uliochanganywa na mafuta, ni kafara iliyosongezwa kwa Bwana kwa moto kuwa harufu ya kupendeza; na sadaka yake ya kinywaji itakuwa ni divai, robo ya hini.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Nanyi msile mkate, wala bisi, wala masuke machanga, hata siku iyo hiyo, hata mtakapokuwa mmekwisha kuleta sadaka ya Mungu wenu; hii ni amri ya milele katika vizazi vyenu katika makao yenu yote.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
Nanyi mtajihesabia tangu siku ya pili baada ya Sabato, tangu siku hiyo mliyouleta mganda wa sadaka ya kutikiswa; zitatimia Sabato saba;
16 even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
hata siku ya pili ya hiyo Sabato ya saba mtahesabu siku hamsini; nanyi mtamsongezea Bwana sadaka ya unga mpya.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
Mtatoa katika makao yenu mikate miwili ya kutikiswa, itakuwa ya sehemu za kumi mbili za efa; itakuwa ya unga mwembamba, itaokwa na chachu, iwe malimbuko kwa Bwana.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
Nanyi, pamoja na hiyo mikate, mtasongeza wana-kondoo saba, walio wakamilifu, wa mwaka wa kwanza, na ng'ombe mume mmoja, na kondoo waume wawili; watakuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana, pamoja na sadaka yao ya unga, na sadaka zao za kinywaji, sadaka ya harufu ya kupendeza iliyosongezwa kwa Bwana kwa njia ya moto.
19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
Nanyi mtasongeza mbuzi mume mmoja kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, na wana-kondoo wawili waume wa mwaka wa kwanza kuwa dhabihu ya sadaka za amani.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
Kisha kuhani atawatikisa pamoja na hiyo mikate ya malimbuko kuwa sadaka ya kutikiswa mbele za Bwana, pamoja na wale wana-kondoo wawili; watakuwa watakatifu kwa Bwana, wawe wa huyo kuhani.
21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Nanyi mtapiga mbiu siku iyo hiyo; kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu kwenu; msifanye kazi yo yote ya utumishi; ni amri ya milele katika makao yenu yote, katika vizazi vyenu.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
Nanyi hapo mtakapovuna mavuno ya nchi yenu, usivune kabisa kabisa pembe za shamba lako, wala msiyakusanye masazo ya mavuno yako; utayaacha kwa ajili ya huyo maskini, na mgeni; mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,

Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Mwezi wa saba, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, kutakuwa na kustarehe kabisa kwenu, ni ukumbusho wa kuzipiga baragumu, ni kusanyiko takatifu.

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

Lakini siku ya kumi ya mwezi huo wa saba ni siku ya upatanisho; itakuwa kusanyiko takatifu kwenu, nanyi mtazitesa nafsi zenu; nanyi mtasongeza sadaka kwa Bwana kwa njia ya moto.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
Nanyi msifanye kazi yo yote siku hiyo; kwa kuwa ni siku ya upatanisho, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yenu mbele za Bwana, Mungu wenu.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
Kwa kuwa mtu awaye yote asiyejitesa mwenyewe siku iyo hiyo, atakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
Na mtu ye yote afanyaye kazi ya namna yo yote siku hiyo, mtu huyo nitamwangamiza atoke katika watu wake.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Msifanye kazi ya namna yo yote; ni amri ya milele katika vizazi vyenu, katika makao yenu yote.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
Itakuwa kwenu sabato ya kustarehe kabisa, nanyi mtazitesa nafsi zenu; siku ya kenda ya mwezi wakati wa jioni, tangu jioni hata jioni, mtaishika hiyo Sabato yenu.

Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi huo wa saba ni sikukuu ya vibanda muda wa siku saba kwa Bwana.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein .
Siku ya kwanza kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu; msifanye kazi yo yote ya utumishi.

Mtamsongezea Bwana sadaka kwa moto siku saba; siku ya nane kutakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu kwenu; nanyi mtamsongezea Bwana sadaka kwa moto; ni mkutano wa makini huu; msifanye kazi yo yote ya utumishi.
37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
Sikukuu za Bwana ni hizi, ambazo mtazipigia mbiu ya kuwa ni makusanyiko matakatifu, ili mmsongezee Bwana sadaka kwa moto, sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na sadaka ya unga, na dhabihu, na sadaka za kinywaji, kila sadaka kwa siku yake;
38 beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.

ili vizazi vyenu vipate kujua ya kuwa niliwaketisha wana wa Israeli katika vibanda, hapo nilipowaleta kutoka nchi ya Misri; mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
Naye Musa akawaambia wana wa Israeli hizo sikukuu za Bwana.
