Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Nena na hao wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Mwanamke akitunga mimba na kuzaa mtoto mume, ndipo atakuwa yu najisi siku saba; kama katika siku za kutengwa kwake kwa ajili ya hedhi, ndivyo atakavyokuwa najisi.
"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.
Siku nane mtoto atatahiriwa govi ya zunga lake.
In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Na huyo mwanamke atakaa katika damu ya kutakata kwake siku thelathini na tatu; asiguse kitu kilicho kitakatifu, wala asiingie mahali patakatifu, hata siku hizo za kutakata kwake zitakapotimia.
She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.
Lakini kwamba amezaa mtoto mke ndipo atakuwa najisi juma mbili, kama katika kutengwa kwake; naye atakaa katika damu ya kutakata kwake muda wa siku sitini na sita.
But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.
Kisha hizo siku za kutakaswa kwake zitakapotimia, kwa ajili ya mwana, au kwa ajili ya binti, ataleta mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na kinda la njiwa, au hua, kuwa sadaka ya dhambi, awalete mlangoni pa hema ya kukutania, na kumpa kuhani;
"'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering:
na yeye atawasongeza mbele za Bwana, na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake; naye atatakasika na jicho la damu yake. Hii ndiyo amri yake huyo azaaye, kwamba ni mtoto mume au mke.
and he shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. "'This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
Kama mali yake huyo mwanamke haimfikilii mwana-kondoo, hapo ndipo atakapochukua hua wawili, au makinda mawili ya njiwa; mmoja kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na wa pili kuwa sadaka ya dhambi; naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atakuwa safi. </p>
If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.'"
