Leviticus 1
1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Mungu alimwita Musa na alisema naye kutoka kweye hema la kukutania, akasema,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, all of you shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
“Sema na wana wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Mwanaume yeyote miongoni mwenu akileta sadaka kwa Bwana, aleta kama matoleo katika wanyama wako, iwapo mifugo au katika kundi.”
3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
Kama matoleo yake ni ya sadaka ya kutekezwa kutoka katika kundi, atatoa dume asiyekuwa na kasoro. Atamtoa katika mlango wa kuingilia katika hema ya kukutania, ili iwe imekubaliwa mbele za Bwana.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Ataweka mikono yake kichwani pa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na ndipo itakuwa imekubaliwa badala yake kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mwenyewe.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Ndipo atapaswa kuchinja ng'ombe mbele ya Bwana. Watoto wa Aroni, makuhani wataleta damu na kuinyunyizia katika madhabahu iliyo katika mlango wa kuingilia katika hema la kukutania.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
Ndipo ataichuna sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kuikata vipande.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
Kisha wana wa Haruni kuhani wataweka moto katika madhabahu na kuweka kuni ili kuchochea moto.
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Wana wa Haruni, makuhani wataweka vipande, kichwa na mafuta, watazipanga juu ya kuni zilizoko juu ya moto ulio madhabahuni.
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Lakini matumbo yake na miguu lazima ataiosha kwa maji. Kisha kuhani atateketeza kila kitu kilicho juu ya madhabahu kama sadaka ya kuteketeza. Italeta harufu nzuri sana kwangu; itakuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa moto kwa ajili yangu.
10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
Kama sadaka kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketeza kutoka kundi, kondoo au mbuzi, lazima atoe dume asiye na kasoro.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
Lazima atamchinja juu ya madhabahu iliyo katika upande wa kaskazini mbele ya Bwana. Wana wa Haruni makuhani, watanyunyiza damu kila upande wa madhabahu.
12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Kisha ataikata katika vipande, pamoja na kichwa na mafuta yake, kuhani atavipanga juu ya kuni zilizo katika moto ulio madhabahuni,
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
lakini matumbo yake na miguu yake lazima ioshwe kwa maji. Kisha kuhani atatoa yote na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu. Ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, italeta harufu nzuri kwa ajili ya Bwana; itakuwa sadaka ya Bwana iliyotolewa kwa moto.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
Kama sadaka yake kwa Bwana itakuwa ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa ni ndege, ndipo ataleta kama sadaka yake aidha ni huwa au kinda la njiwa.
15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
Kuhani ataileta madhabahuni, atamnyonga kichwa chake, na kuiteketeza juu ya madhabahu. Kisha damu yake itachuruzishwa juu ya pande za madhabahu.
16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
Kisha atakiondoa kibofu chake pamoja na uchafu wake, na kukiweka upande wa mashariki mwa madhabahu, katika sehemu ya majivu.
17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Kisha atapasua mabawa yake, lakini hatagawanya katika vipande viwili. Kisha Kuhani atamtekeza katika madhabahu, juu ya kuni amabazo ziko juu ya moto. Itakuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na italeta harufu nzuri sana kwa Bwana; itakuwa sadaka ya Bwana iliyotolewa kwa moto.
