1
Na mtu awaye yote akifanya dhambi, kwa kuwa ameisikia sauti yenye kuapisha, naye akawa ni shahidi, kwamba aliona au kujua, asipolifunua neno lile, ndipo atakapochukua uovu wake mwenyewe;
“If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed, whether he has seen it or learned of it, he shall bear the iniquity.
2
au kama mtu akigusa kitu kilicho najisi, kama ni mzoga wa mnyama wa nyikani aliye najisi, au kama ni mzoga wa mnyama wa mfugo aliye najisi, au kama ni mzoga wa mdudu aliye najisi, naye jambo hilo linamfichamania, akapata kuwa najisi, ndipo atakapochukua uovu wake;
Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of any unclean wild animal or livestock or crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.
3
au kama akiugusa uchafu wa binadamu, uchafu uwao wote ambao kwa huo amepata unajisi, na jambo hilo linamfichamania, hapo apatapo kulijua, ndipo atakapokuwa na hatia;
Or if he touches human uncleanness—anything by which one becomes unclean—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty.
4
au, kama mtu akijiapisha, kwa kutamka haraka kwa midomo yake, kutenda uovu, au kutenda mema, neno lo lote mtu atakalolitamka kwa kiapo pasipo kufikiri, na neno hilo likamfichamania; hapo atakapolijua, ndipo atakapokuwa na hatia katika mambo hayo mojawapo;
Or if someone swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do anything good or evil—in whatever matter a man may rashly pronounce an oath—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty in the matter.
5
kisha itakuwa, hapo atakapokuwa na hatia katika mambo hayo mojawapo, ndipo atakapoliungama jambo hilo alilolikosa;
If someone incurs guilt in one of these ways, he must confess the sin he has committed,
6
naye atamletea Bwana sadaka yake ya hatia kwa ajili ya hiyo dhambi yake aliyoifanya, mwana-kondoo wa kike, au mbuzi mke, kutoka katika kundi lake, kuwa ni sadaka ya dhambi; kisha kuhani atamfanyia upatanisho kwa ajili ya hiyo dhambi yake.
and he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD for the sin he has committed: a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering. And the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7
Lakini asipomweza mwana-kondoo, ndipo atakapomletea Bwana hua wawili, au makinda mawili ya njiwa, kuwa ni sadaka yake ya hatia ya jambo hilo alilolikosa; mmoja wa hao ndege kwa sadaka ya dhambi, na wa pili kwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
If, however, he cannot afford a lamb, he may bring to the LORD as restitution for his sin two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.
8
Naye atawaleta kwa kuhani, atakayemsongeza kwanza yule wa sadaka ya dhambi, naye atamkongonyoa kichwa shingoni mwake, lakini asimpasue vipande viwili;
He is to bring them to the priest, who shall first present the one for the sin offering. He is to twist its head at the front of its neck without severing it;
9
kisha baadhi ya damu ya hiyo sadaka ya dhambi atainyunyiza katika ubavu wa madhabahu; na damu iliyosalia itachuruzishwa hapo chini ya madhabahu; ni sadaka ya dhambi.
then he is to sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood is drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10
Kisha huyo ndege wa pili atamsongeza kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sawasawa na sheria; na kuhani atamfanyia upatanisho kwa ajili ya hiyo dhambi yake aliyoifanya, naye atasamehewa.
And the priest must prepare the second bird as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
11
Lakini asipowaweza hua wawili, au makinda mawili ya njiwa, ndipo hapo atakapoleta matoleo yake kwa ajili ya neno hilo alilolikosa, sehemu ya kumi ya efa ya unga mwembamba, kuwa sadaka yake ya dhambi; asitie mafuta juu yake, wala ubani usitiwe juu yake; maana, ni sadaka ya dhambi.
But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he may bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. He must not put olive oil or frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.
12
Naye atamletea kuhani, na kuhani atatwaa konzi yake ya huo unga kuwa ukumbusho wake, na kuuteketeza juu ya madhabahu, juu ya sadaka zilizosongezwa kwa Bwana kwa njia ya moto; ni sadaka ya dhambi.
He is to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful from it as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar atop the food offerings to the LORD; it is a sin offering.
13
Na huyo kuhani atamfanyia upatanisho kwa ajili ya dhambi yake ambayo katika mambo hayo mojawapo amefanya dhambi, naye atasamehewa; na unga uliosalia utakuwa wa kuhani, kama hiyo sadaka ya unga ilivyokuwa.
In this way the priest will make atonement for him for any of these sins he has committed, and he will be forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.”
14
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
15
Mtu awaye yote akiasi na kufanya dhambi naye hakukusudia, katika mambo matakatifu ya Bwana; ndipo atakapomletea Bwana sadaka yake ya hatia, kondoo mume mkamilifu katika kundi lake; sawasawa na hesabu utakayomwandikia katika shekeli za fedha, kwa shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, kuwa sadaka ya hatia;
“If someone acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s holy things, he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram from the flock, of proper value in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.
16
naye atalipa kwa ajili ya hilo alilolikosa katika kitu kile kitakatifu, kisha ataongeza na sehemu ya tano, na kumpa kuhani; naye kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa huyo kondoo mume wa sadaka ya hatia, naye atasamehewa.
Regarding any holy thing he has harmed, he must make restitution by adding a fifth of its value to it and giving it to the priest, who will make atonement on his behalf with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.
17
Na kama mtu akifanya dhambi, na kutenda mambo hayo mojawapo ambayo Bwana alizuilia yasifanywe, ajapokuwa hakuyajua, ni mwenye hatia vivyo, naye atachukua uovu wake.
If someone sins and violates any of the LORD’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.
18
Naye ataleta kondoo mume wa kundi lake, mkamilifu, sawasawa na hesabu utakayomwandikia, kuwa sadaka ya hatia, amsongeze kwa huyo kuhani; na kuhani atamfanyia upatanisho kwa ajili ya jambo hilo alilolikosa pasipo kukusudia, asilijue, naye atasamehewa.
He is to bring to the priest an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock as a guilt offering. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the wrong he has committed in ignorance, and he will be forgiven.
19
Ni sadaka ya hatia; hakika yake ni mwenye hatia mbele za Bwana.</p>
It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the LORD.”
