Mambo ya Walawi 23
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Hizi ndizo sikukuu zangu zilizoamriwa, sikukuu zilizoamriwa za Bwana, ambazo mtazitangaza kuwa makusanyiko matakatifu.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The set feasts of Jehovah, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
3 “‘Kuna siku sita mnazoweza kufanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kupumzika, siku ya kusanyiko takatifu. Hamtafanya kazi yoyote. Popote mnapoishi, ni Sabato kwa Bwana.
"'Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work. It is a Sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
4 “‘Hizi ni sikukuu za Bwana zilizoamriwa, makusanyiko matakatifu mtakayoyatangaza kwa nyakati zilizoamriwa:
"'These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.
5 Pasaka ya Bwana huanza jioni ya siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Jehovah's Passover.
6 Siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi huo wa kwanza, Sikukuu ya Bwana ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu huanza; kwa siku saba, mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu.
On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Jehovah. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7 Katika siku ya kwanza, mtakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.
8 Kwa siku saba mtamletea Bwana sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto. Kwenye siku hiyo ya saba mtafanya kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.’”
But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work.'"
9 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Sema na Waisraeli na uwaambie: ‘Mtakapoingia katika nchi nitakayowapa na kuvuna mazao ya nchi hiyo, leteni kwa kuhani mganda wa nafaka ya kwanza mtakayovuna.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its the harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest:
11 Naye atauinua huo mganda mbele za Bwana ili ukubaliwe kwa niaba yenu; kuhani ataupunga siku inayofuata Sabato.
and he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 Siku hiyo mtakapoinua huo mganda, lazima mtoe kwa Bwana dhabihu ya kuteketezwa kwa moto ya mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiye na dosari,
On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to Jehovah.
13 pamoja na sadaka yake ya nafaka ya sehemu mbili za kumi za efa za unga laini uliochanganywa na mafuta, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto, harufu nzuri ya kupendeza, na sadaka yake ya kinywaji ya robo ya hini ya divai.
The meal offering with it shall be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Jehovah for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 Kamwe msile mkate wowote, au nafaka iliyokaangwa au nafaka mpya, mpaka siku ile mtakayomletea Mungu wenu sadaka hii. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo, popote mnapoishi.
You shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 “‘Tangu siku ile iliyofuata Sabato, siku mliyotoa sadaka ya mganda wa kuinuliwa, hesabuni majuma saba kamili.
"'You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed:
16 Mtahesabu siku hamsini mpaka siku inayofuata Sabato ya saba, ndipo mtatoa sadaka ya nafaka mpya kwa Bwana.
even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Jehovah.
17 Kutoka popote mnapoishi, mtaleta mikate miwili ya unga laini, sehemu mbili za kumi za efa, uliookwa kwa chachu, kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa ya malimbuko kwa Bwana.
You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Jehovah.
18 Toeni pamoja na hiyo mikate wana-kondoo saba, kila mmoja wa mwaka mmoja asiye na dosari, na fahali mchanga, na kondoo dume wawili. Watakuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto iliyotolewa kwa Bwana, pamoja na sadaka za nafaka na sadaka za vinywaji, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto yenye harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana.
You shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Jehovah, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah.
19 Kisha toeni dhabihu ya mbuzi dume mmoja kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na wana-kondoo wawili, kila mmoja wa mwaka mmoja, kwa ajili ya sadaka ya amani.
You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 Kuhani atawainua hao wana-kondoo wawili mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa, pamoja na mkate wa malimbuko. Ni sadaka takatifu kwa Bwana kwa ajili ya kuhani.
The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before Jehovah, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Jehovah for the priest.
21 Siku iyo hiyo mtatangaza kusanyiko takatifu, na msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo, popote mnapoishi.
You shall make proclamation on the same day: there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 “‘Mnapovuna mavuno ya ardhi yenu, msivune hadi mpakani mwa shamba lenu, au kukusanya masazo ya mavuno yenu. Hayo utayaacha kwa ajili ya maskini na mgeni. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
"'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap into the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am Jehovah your God.'"
23 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa saba mtakuwa na siku ya mapumziko, kusanyiko takatifu la ukumbusho litakaloadhimishwa kwa kupiga tarumbeta.
"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 Msifanye kazi zenu zozote za kawaida, lakini toeni sadaka kwa Bwana iliyoteketezwa kwa moto.’”
You shall do no regular work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah.'"
26 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
27 “Siku ya kumi ya mwezi huu wa saba ni Siku ya Upatanisho. Mtafanya kusanyiko takatifu, mfunge, nanyi mtoe sadaka kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto.
"However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
28 Msifanye kazi siku hiyo, kwa sababu ni Siku ya Upatanisho, ambapo upatanisho unafanyika kwa ajili yenu mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu.
You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Jehovah your God.
29 Mtu yeyote ambaye hatafunga siku hiyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.
30 Mtu yeyote atakayefanya kazi siku hiyo nitamwangamiza kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake.
Whoever it is who does any manner of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.
31 Hamtafanya kazi kamwe. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo popote mnapoishi.
You shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 Ni Sabato ya mapumziko kwenu ninyi, na lazima mfunge. Tangu jioni ya siku ya tisa ya mwezi hadi jioni inayofuata, mtaishika Sabato yenu.”
It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath."
33 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
34 “Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Katika siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba, Sikukuu ya Bwana ya vibanda itaanza, nayo itaadhimishwa kwa siku saba.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and say, 'On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to Jehovah.
35 Siku ya kwanza ni kusanyiko takatifu, msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work.
36 Kwa siku saba toeni sadaka kwa Bwana za kuteketezwa kwa moto. Kwenye siku ya nane fanyeni kusanyiko takatifu, na mtoe sadaka kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto. Ni kusanyiko la mwisho, msifanye kazi zenu za kawaida.
Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
37 (“‘Hizi ni sikukuu za Bwana zilizoamriwa, ambazo mtazitangaza kuwa makusanyiko matakatifu kwa kuleta sadaka kwa Bwana za kuteketeza kwa moto: sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za nafaka, dhabihu na sadaka za vinywaji zitahitajika kila siku.
"'These are the appointed feasts of Jehovah, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day;
38 Sadaka hizi ni nyongeza ya zile mnazozitoa katika Sabato za Bwana, na pia ni nyongeza ya matoleo yenu ya chochote mlichoweka nadhiri, na sadaka zenu zote za hiari mnazozitoa kwa Bwana.)
besides the Sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to Jehovah.
39 “‘Basi kuanzia siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa saba, baada ya kuvuna mazao yote ya nchi, mtaadhimisha sikukuu kwa Bwana kwa siku saba; siku ya kwanza ni mapumziko, pia siku ya nane ni mapumziko.
"'So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Jehovah seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
40 Siku ya kwanza mtachukua matunda mazuri ya miti, matawi ya mitende, matawi yenye majani mengi, na matawi ya mirebi, nanyi mtashangilia mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu kwa siku saba.
You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God seven days.
41 Mtaadhimisha siku hii kuwa sikukuu kwa Bwana kwa siku saba kila mwaka. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo; iadhimisheni mwezi wa saba.
You shall keep it a feast to Jehovah seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.
42 Mtaishi katika vibanda kwa siku saba: Wazawa wote wa Waisraeli wataishi katika vibanda,
You shall dwell in booths seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths,
43 ili wazao wenu wajue kuwa niliwafanya Waisraeli waishi kwenye vibanda nilipowatoa Misri. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.'"
44 Kwa hiyo Mose akawatangazia Waisraeli sikukuu zilizoamriwa na Bwana.
Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of Jehovah.
