1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD. 3Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD. 4What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;22.4 running…: Heb. running of the reins 5Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 6The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. 7And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 8That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD. 9They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
10There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.22.11 with…: Heb. with the purchase of his money 12If the priest’s daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.22.12 a stranger: Heb. a man a stranger 13But if the priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
14¶ And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing. 15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD; 16Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.22.16 suffer…: or, lade themselves with the iniquity of trespass in their eating
17¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 18Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering; 19Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.22.21 sheep: or, goats 22Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD. 23Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.22.23 lamb: or, kid 24Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land. 25Neither from a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
26¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 27When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.22.28 ewe: or, she goat 29And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will. 30On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD. 31Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. 32Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you, 33That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
Matumizi Ya Sadaka Takatifu
1Bwana akamwambia Mose, 222:2 Law 19:8; Kut 20:7; Mt 5:33; Eze 44:8; Hes 15:15, 31; Kut 28:38; Kum 15:19“Mwambie Aroni na wanawe kushughulikia kwa uangalifu sadaka takatifu Waisraeli wanazoziweka wakfu kwangu, ili wasilinajisi Jina langu takatifu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
322:3 Ezr 8:28; Law 7:20-21; Hes 19:13“Waambie: ‘Katika vizazi vijavyo, ikiwa yeyote wa wazao wako ni najisi kwa taratibu za kiibada, naye akakaribia sadaka takatifu zile Waisraeli wanazoweka wakfu kwa Bwana, mtu huyo lazima akatiliwe mbali na uso wangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
422:4 Law 14:1-32; 15:2-15; 11:24-28, 39; Hes 19:11“ ‘Ikiwa mzao wa Aroni ana ugonjwa wa ngozi unaoambukiza au anatokwa na usaha mwilini, hawezi kula sadaka takatifu mpaka atakasike. Pia atakuwa najisi ikiwa atagusa kitu chochote kilicho najisi kwa kugusa maiti au mtu aliyetokwa na shahawa, 522:5 Law 11:24-28, 43; 15:7au ikiwa atagusa kitu chochote kitambaacho kimfanyacho mtu najisi, au mtu yeyote awezaye kumtia unajisi, hata unajisi uwe gani. 622:6 Hag 2:13; Law 11:24; 14:8; Ebr 10:22Mtu anayegusa kitu chochote cha aina hiyo atakuwa najisi mpaka jioni. Kamwe hatakula sadaka yoyote takatifu mpaka yeye mwenyewe awe ameoga kwa maji. 722:7 Hes 18:11Wakati jua linapotua, atakuwa safi, na baadaye anaweza kula sadaka takatifu, kwa kuwa ni vyakula vyake. 822:8 Law 11:39-44; 17:15; Kut 22:31Kamwe asile nyama ya mzoga wala iliyoraruliwa na wanyama pori, naye akatiwa unajisi kwa hilo. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
922:9 Law 8:35; 20:8; Kut 28:38-43; Hes 18:22“ ‘Makuhani lazima washike maagizo yangu ili wasiwe na hatia, wakafa kwa kuyadharau. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu.
1022:10 Kut 12:45; 29:33; Hes 3:10; 1Sam 21:6“ ‘Hakuna mtu yeyote asiye wa jamaa ya kuhani anayeruhusiwa kula sadaka takatifu, hata mgeni wa kuhani au mfanyakazi wake haruhusiwi kuila. 1122:11 Mwa 17:13; Kut 12:44Lakini ikiwa kuhani amenunua mtumwa kwa fedha, au mtumwa amezaliwa katika nyumba ya kuhani huyo, mtumwa huyo aweza kula chakula cha huyo kuhani. 12Ikiwa binti wa kuhani ameolewa na mtu asiye kuhani, binti huyo haruhusiwi kula chochote cha matoleo matakatifu. 13Lakini ikiwa binti wa kuhani amekuwa mjane au amepewa talaka, naye hana watoto, na akarudi kuishi na jamaa ya baba yake kama wakati wa usichana wake, binti huyo anaweza kula chakula cha baba yake. Hata hivyo, mtu asiyeruhusiwa hawezi kula chochote katika chakula hiki.
1422:14 Law 4:2; 5:15“ ‘Ikiwa mtu yeyote amekula sadaka takatifu kwa makosa, lazima atoe malipo ya sadaka hiyo kwa kuhani na kuongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani ya sadaka hiyo. 1522:15 Law 19:8; Hes 18:32Kamwe makuhani wasiinajisi sadaka takatifu ambayo Waisraeli wameitoa kwa Bwana 1622:16 Hes 18:11; Kut 28:38; Law 20:8kwa kuwaruhusu kuzila sadaka hizo takatifu, na hivyo kuwaletea hatia ya kudaiwa malipo. Mimi ndimi Bwana niwafanyaye watakatifu.’ ”
Dhabihu Zisizokubalika
17Bwana akamwambia Mose, 1822:18 Hes 15:8, 16; 19:10; Yos 8:33; Mwa 28:20; Za 22:25; 76:11; 116:8; Law 7:16“Sema na Aroni na wanawe, na Waisraeli wote uwaambie: ‘Ikiwa mmoja wenu, aliye Mwisraeli au mgeni anayeishi katika nchi ya Israeli, atatoa matoleo kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa moto kwa Bwana, iwe kutimiza nadhiri au kuwa sadaka ya hiari, 1922:19 Law 1:2; 21:18-21; Hes 28:11; Kum 15:21lazima mtoe mnyama dume asiye na dosari, akiwa ngʼombe, mbuzi au kondoo, ili aweze kukubalika kwa niaba yako. 2022:20 Kum 15:21; 17:1; Eze 43:23; 45:18; 46:6; Mal 1:8; Ebr 9:14; 1Pet 1:19; Kut 28:38Kamwe usitoe kitu chochote chenye dosari kwa sababu hakitakubaliwa kwa niaba yako. 2122:21 Kut 12:5; 32:6; Law 3:6; 7:16; Mal 1:14; Amo 4:5; Hes 15:38Mtu yeyote aletapo sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana kutoka kundi la ngʼombe au mbuzi ili kutimiza nadhiri maalum au sadaka ya hiari, lazima sadaka hiyo isiwe na dosari au waa ili ikubalike. 22Kamwe usimtolee Bwana mnyama aliye kipofu, aliyejeruhiwa wala aliye kilema, au chochote kilicho na uvimbe, au chenye upele au vidonda vinavyotoka usaha. Kamwe chochote cha aina hii kisiwekwe juu ya madhabahu kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana ya kuteketezwa kwa moto. 2322:23 Law 21:18Lakini waweza ukatoa ngʼombe au kondoo mwenye kilema au aliyedumaa kama sadaka ya hiari, lakini hii haitakubalika kuwa sadaka ya kutimiza nadhiri. 2422:24 Law 21:20Kamwe usimtolee Bwana mnyama ambaye mapumbu yake yamejeruhiwa, au kuhasiwa, au kuraruliwa au kukatwa. Kamwe usifanye hivi katika nchi yako mwenyewe, 2522:25 Law 21:6; 1:3; 3:1; Hes 19:2; 15:15na kamwe usikubali wanyama wa aina hii kutoka mkono wa mgeni ili kuwatoa wanyama hao kuwa chakula kwa Mungu wako. Wanyama hao hawatakubaliwa kwa niaba yako, kwa sababu wana vilema, nao wana dosari.’ ”
26Bwana akamwambia Mose, 2722:27 Law 1:3; Kut 22:30; 28:38“Wakati ndama, mwana-kondoo au mwana-mbuzi azaliwapo, atabaki na mama yake kwa siku saba. Kuanzia siku ya nane na kuendelea anaweza kukubaliwa kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto. 2822:28 Kum 22:6-7Usimchinje ngʼombe na ndama wake, au kondoo na kitoto chake siku moja.
2922:29 Law 7:12; Za 107:22“Unapomtolea Bwana dhabihu ya shukrani, itoe kwa namna ambayo itakubalika kwa niaba yako. 3022:30 Law 7:15; 11:44; Za 116:17Ni lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo, pasipo kubakiza chochote mpaka asubuhi. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
3122:31 Kum 4:2; Za 105:45; Kut 22:31; Law 19:37; Hes 15:40“Shikeni maagizo yangu na kuyafuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana. 3222:32 Law 18:21; 10:3; 20:8Msilinajisi Jina langu takatifu. Lazima nikubalike kuwa mtakatifu kwa Waisraeli. Mimi ndimi Bwana ninayewafanya watakatifu, 3322:33 Kut 6:6; Mwa 17:7; Law 11:45na niliyewatoa katika nchi ya Misri niwe Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
