Bwana akamwita Musa, na kusema naye kutoka katika hema ya kukutania, akamwambia,
Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
2
Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Mtu wa kwenu atakapomtolea Bwana matoleo, mtatoa matoleo yenu katika wanyama wa mifugo, katika ng'ombe na katika kondoo.
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock.
3
Matoleo yake kwamba ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa ya ng'ombe, atatoa ng'ombe mume mkamilifu; ataleta mlangoni pa hema ya kukutania, ili akubaliwe mbele ya Bwana.
If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the LORD.
4
Kisha ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha hiyo sadaka ya kuteketezwa; nayo itakubaliwa kwa ajili yake, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake.
He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
5
Naye atamchinja huyo ng'ombe mbele ya Bwana; kisha wana wa Haruni, hao makuhani, wataileta karibu hiyo damu, na kuinyunyiza damu yake kando-kando katika madhabahu iliyo hapo mlangoni pa hema ya kukutania
And he shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
6
Kisha atachuna sadaka ya kuteketeza na kuikata vipande vyake.
Next, he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
7
Kisha wana wa Haruni, watatia moto juu ya madhabahu, na kuzipanga kuni juu ya moto,
The sons of Aaron the priest shall put a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
8
kisha wana wa Haruni, makuhani, watazipanga kuni zilizo juu ya moto uliopo juu ya madhabahu;
Then Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, atop the burning wood on the altar.
9
lakini matumbo yake, na miguu yake, ataiosha kwa maji; na huyo kuhani ataviteketeza vyote juu ya madhabahu, ili iwe sadaka ya kuteketezwa, dhabihu ya kusongezwa kwa njia ya moto, ya harufu ya kupendeza kwa Bwana.
The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
10
Na matoleo yake kwamba ni katika kundi, katika kondoo, au katika mbuzi, kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa; atatoa mume mkamilifu.
If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male.
11
Naye atamchinja hapo upande wa madhabahu ulioelekea kaskazini mbele za Bwana; na wana wa Haruni, hao makuhani, watainyunyiza damu yake juu ya madhabahu pande zote.
He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.
12
Kisha atamkata vipande vyake, pamoja na kichwa chake, na mafuta yake; kisha atavipanga vile vipande juu ya kuni zilizo juu ya madhabahu;
He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar.
13
lakini matumbo yake, na miguu yake, ataosha kwa maji; na huyo kuhani atavisongeza vyote na kuviteketeza juu ya madhabahu; ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, dhabihu ya kusongezwa kwa njia ya moto, ya harufu ya kupendeza kwa Bwana.
The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
14
Na matoleo yake atakayomtolea Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, kwamba ni katika ndege, ndipo atakapoleta matoleo yake katika hua au katika makinda ya njiwa.
If, instead, one’s offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon.
15
Kisha kuhani atamleta karibu na madhabahu, naye atamkongonyoa kichwa, na kumteketeza kwa moto juu ya madhabahu; na damu yake itachuruzishwa kando ya madhabahu;
Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar.
16
kisha atakiondoa kile kibofu chake, pamoja na taka zake, na kukitupa kando ya madhabahu upande wa mashariki, mahali pa majivu;
And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.
17
kisha atampasua na mabawa yake, lakini asimkate vipande viwili; kisha kuhani atamteketeza juu ya madhabahu, juu ya kuni zilizo juu ya moto; ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, dhabihu ya kusongezwa kwa njia ya moto, ya harufu ya kupendeza kwa Bwana. </p>
He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing the bird completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
