Torati 16
1 Angalia mwezi wa Abibu, na uishike pasaka ya Yahwe Mungu wako, kwa kuwa katika mwezi wa Abibu Yahwe Mungu wako alikuleta toka Misri usiku.
Observe the month of new [corn], and thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God; because in the month of new corn thou camest out of Egypt by night.
2 Utamtolea dhabibu ya pasaka Yahwe Mungu wako na baadhi ya mifugo na wanyama kwenye eneo ambalo Yahwe atachagua kama patakatifu pake.
And thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God, sheep and oxen in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called upon it.
3 Hautakula mkate wa chachu pamoja nayo, siku saba utakula mkate usio na chachu, mkate wa mateso; kwa kuwa mlitoka katika nchi ya Misri kwa haraka. Fanya haya katika siku zako zote za maisha yako ili uweze kukumbuka akilini siku mliotoka nchi ya Misri.
Thou shalt not eat leaven with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened [bread] with it, bread of affliction, because ye came forth out of Egypt in haste; that ye may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
4 Hakuna chachu inapaswa kuonekana miongoni mwenu ndani ya mipaka yenu wakati wa siku saba; wala nyama yoyote mnayotoa dhabihu jioni kwa siku ya kwanza inabaki mpaka asubuhi.
Leaven shall not be seen with thee in all thy borders for seven days, and there shall not be left of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice at even on the first day until the morning.
5 Msitoe dhabihu ya pasaka kati ya malango yenu ya ndani ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa.
thou shalt not have power to sacrifice the passover in any of the cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee.
6 Badala yake, toa dhabihu katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wenu atachagua kama patakatifu pake. Hapo mtatoa dhabihu ya pasaka jioni wakati jua linazama, kwa wakati huo wa mwaka mlitoka Misri.
But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, to have his name called there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even at the setting of the sun, at the time when thou camest out of Egypt.
7 Mtapaswa kuichoma na kuila katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wenu atachagua; asubuhi mtageuka na kwenda kwenye mahema yenu.
And thou shalt boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose; and thou shalt return in the morning, and go to thy house.
8 Kwa siku sita mtakula mkate usiotia chachu; katika siku ya saba kutakuwa na kusanyiko makini kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wenu; katika siku hiyo hamtafanya kazi.
Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a holiday, a feast to the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do in it any work, save what must be done by any one.
9 Mtahesabu wiki saba kwa ajili yenu; tangu wakati mlipoanza kuweka mundu kwenye nafaka iliyosimama mtapaswa kuanza kuhesabu wiki saba.
Seven weeks shalt thou number to thyself; when thou hast begun [to put] the sickle to the corn, thou shalt begin to number seven weeks.
10 Mtapaswa kushika wiki za sherehe ya Yahwe Mungu wenu pamoja na mchango wa sadaka ya utayari kutoka mkono wako ambayo utatoa, kulingana na Yahwe alivyokubariki.
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the Lord thy God, accordingly as thy hand has power in as many things as the Lord thy God shall give thee.
11 Utafurahi mbele ya Yahwe Mungu wako- wewe, kijana wako, binti wako, mjakazi wako wa kiume, mjakazi wako wa kike, Mlawi aliye katika malango yako, na mgeni, yatima, na mjane alio miongoni mwenu, katika eneo ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako atachagua kwa ajili ya patakatifu pake.
And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatsoever place the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be called there.
12 Utakumbuka akilini kwamba ulikuwa mtumwa Misri; unapaswa kuangalia na kuzishika amri hizi.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and thou shalt observe and do these commands.
13 Unapaswa kushika sherehe za vibanda kwa siku saba baada ya kuwa mmekusanya mavuno toka kwenye sakafu ya mapura na kutoka kwenye kinu chako cha divai.
Thou shalt keep for thyself the feast of tabernacles seven days, when thou gatherest in [thy produce] from thy corn-floor and thy wine-press.
14 Utafurahi wakati wa sherehe- wewe, kijana wako, binti wako, mjakazi wako wa kiume, mjakazi wako wa kike, Mlawi, na mgeni, na yatima na mjane walio ndani ya malango yako.
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in thy cities.
15 Kwa siku saba unapaswa kuangalia sherehe ya Yahwe Mungu wako katika eneo ambalo Yahwe atachagua, kwa sababu Yahwe Mungu wako atakubariki katika mavuno yako yote na kazi ya mikono yako yote, na unapaswa kuwa na furaha kabisa.
Seven days shalt thou keep a feast to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose for himself; and if the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, then thou shalt rejoice.
16 Mara tatu kwa mwaka wanaume wako wote wanapaswa kuonekana mbele za Yahwe Mungu wako katika eneo ambalo atachagua: katika sherehe ya mkate usiotiwa chachu, katika sherehe za wiki, na sherehe ya vibanda; na hawataonekana mbele za Yahwe mikono mitupu;
Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: thou shalt not appear before the Lord thy God empty.
17 badala yake, kila mtu atatoa kama awezavyo, kwamba mtajua baraka kwamba Yahwe Mungu wako amekupa.
Each one according to his ability, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he has given thee.
18 Unapaswa kufanya waamuzi na maakida ndani ya malango yako ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anakupa; watachukuliwa toka kila kabila, and watahukumu watu kwa hukumu ya haki.
Thou shalt make for thyself judges and officers in thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee in [thy] tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment:
19 Haupaswi kuiondoa haki kwa nguvu; haupaswi kuonesha upendeleo wala kuchukua rushwa, kwa kuwa rushwa upofusha macho ya hekima na kupotosha maneno ya haki.
they shall not wrest judgment, nor favour persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
20 Unapaswa kufata baada ya haki, baada ya haki peke yake, ili kwamba uishi na kurithi nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anakupa.
Thou shalt justly pursue justice, that ye may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.
21 Haupaswi kujitengenezea Asherahi, aina yoyote ya mti, kando ya madhabahu ya Yahwe Mungu wako ambayo utakayojitengenezea.
Thou shalt not plant for thyself a grove; thou shalt not plant for thyself any tree near the altar of thy God.
22 Wala usijitengenezee jiwe takatifu la nguzo, ambalo Yahwe Mungu wako anachukia.
Thou shalt not set up for thyself a pillar, which the Lord thy God hates.
