Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2
Waagize wana wa Israeli kwamba wakuletee mafuta ya zeituni safi ya kupondwa kwa ajili ya ile nuru, ili hiyo taa iwake daima.
“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
3
Hapo nje ya pazia la ushahidi, ndani ya hema ya kukutania, Haruni ataitengeza tangu jioni hata asubuhi mbele za Bwana daima; ni amri ya milele katika vizazi vyenu.
Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.
4
Atazitengeza hizo taa katika kile kinara kilicho safi mbele za Bwana daima.
He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
5
Nawe utatwaa unga mwembamba, na kuoka mikate kumi na miwili ya huo unga; sehemu za kumi mbili za efa, zitakuwa katika mkate mmoja.
You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,
6
Nawe iweke mistari miwili, mikate sita kwa kila mstari, juu ya hiyo meza safi, mbele za Bwana.
and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
7
Nawe utatia ubani safi juu ya kila mstari, ili uwe ukumbusho kwa hiyo mikate, sadaka ya kusongezwa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, a food offering to the LORD.
8
Kila siku ya Sabato ataipanga mbele za Bwana daima; ni kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli, agano la milele.
Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.
9
Nayo itakuwa ya Haruni na wanawe; nao wataila katika mahali patakatifu; kwa sababu kwake ni takatifu sana katika sadaka zisongezwazo kwa Bwana kwa moto, kwa amri ya milele.
It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD—his portion forever.”
10
Ikawa mwana wa mwanamke wa Kiisraeli, ambaye babaye alikuwa Mmisri, akatokea kati ya wana wa Israeli; na huyo mwana wa mwanamke wa Kiisraeli, na Mwisraeli mmoja, wakapigana pamoja ndani ya marago;
Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
11
kisha huyo mwana wa mwanamke wa Kiisraeli akalikufuru hilo Jina, na kuapiza; nao wakamleta kwa Musa. Na jina la mamaye alikuwa akiitwa Shelomithi, binti ya Dibri, wa kabila ya Dani.
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
12
Nao wakamtia kifungoni, ili wapate kuambiwa neno litakalotoka kinywani pa Bwana.
They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.
13
Na Bwana akasema na Musa, na kumwambia,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
14
Mtoe huyo aliyeapiza nje ya marago; na wale wote waliomsikia na waweke mikono yao kichwani mwake, kisha mkutano wote na wamwue kwa kumpiga kwa mawe.
“Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.
15
Nawe nena na wana wa Israeli na kuwaambia, Mtu awaye yote atakayemlaani Mungu wake atachukua dhambi yake.
And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.
16
Na yeye atakayelikufuru jina la Bwana hakika atauawa; mkutano wote watamwua kwa kumpiga kwa mawe; kama ni mgeni, kama ni mzalia, hapo atakapolikufuru jina la Bwana atauawa.
Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
17
Na mtu ampigaye mtu hata akafa, lazima atauawa;
And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
18
na atakayempiga mnyama hata akafa atalipa; uhai kwa uhai.
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
19
Na mtu akimtia mwenziwe kilema; vile vile kama alivyofanya, naye atafanyiwa vivyo;
If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
20
jeraha kwa jeraha, jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino; vile vile kama alivyomtia mtu kilema, naye atalipwa vivyo.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.
21
Na mtu amwuaye mnyama atalipa; na yeye atakayemwua binadamu atauawa.
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
22
Mtakuwa na sheria moja tu, kwa huyo aliye mgeni, na kwa mzalia; kwa kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.
You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23
Musa akanena na wana wa Israeli, nao wakamtoa huyo aliyeapiza nje ya marago, wakamwua kwa kumpiga kwa mawe. Wana wa Israeli wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa. </p>
Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
