Deuteronomo 22
1 Ngati uwona ngʼombe kapena nkhosa ya mʼbale wako ikusochera, usayilekerere koma uyesetse kuyibwezera kwa iye.
If you see your brother's ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother.
2 Ngati mʼbale wakoyo sakhala pafupi kapena sukudziwa kuti ndi yandani, uyitengere ku nyumba kwako ndi kuyisamala mpaka mwini wake atayilondola ndipo umubwezere.
If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its owner comes in search of it, and then you are to give it back to him.
3 Uzitero ndithu ngati upeza bulu kapena mkanjo kapena chilichonse chimene chatayika. Osachilekerera.
Do the same with his ass or his robe or anything which has gone from your brother's keeping and which you have come across: do not keep it to yourself.
4 Ngati wapeza bulu kapena ngʼombe ya mʼbale wako itagwa panjira, usayilekerere. Ithandize kuti idzuke.
If you see your brother's ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.
5 Akazi asavale zovala za amuna, kapena mwamuna kuvala zovala za akazi, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amanyansidwa ndi aliyense wochita izi.
It is not right for a woman to be dressed in man's clothing, or for a man to put on a woman's robe: whoever does such things is disgusting to the Lord your God.
6 Ukapeza chisa cha mbalame mʼmphepete mwa msewu, kaya ndi mu mtengo kapena pansi, mbalame yayikazi itafungatira ana kapena mazira, usatenge mbalameyo pamodzi ndi ana ake omwe.
If by chance you see a place which a bird has made for itself in a tree or on the earth, with young ones or eggs, and the mother bird seated on the young ones or on the eggs, do not take the mother bird with the young:
7 Anawo mukhoza kutenga koma onetsetsani kuti mayi wawo mwamutaya kuti apite, kuti zinthu zizikuyenderani bwino ndiponso kuti mukhale ndi moyo wautali.
See that you let the mother bird go, but the young ones you may take; so it will be well for you and your life will be long.
8 Mukamanga nyumba yatsopano, mutchingire khonde lake la pa denga kuti inu musapezeke ndi mlandu wopha munthu ngati wina agwa kuchokera pa khonde la pa dengalo.
If you are building a house, make a railing for the roof, so that the blood of any man falling from it will not come on your house.
9 Musadzale mbewu zamitundu iwiri mʼmunda wanu wa mpesa, ngati mutero, si mbewu zanu zokha zimene zidzakhale zodetsedwa, komanso zipatso za mʼmunda wamphesawo.
Do not have your vine-garden planted with two sorts of seed: or all of it may become a loss, the seed you have put in as well as the increase.
10 Musatipule pogwiritsa ntchito ngʼombe ndi bulu pa goli limodzi.
Do not do your ploughing with an ox and an ass yoked together.
11 Musamavale chovala chopangidwa mophatikiza ubweya ndi thonje.
Do not have clothing made of two sorts of thread, wool and linen together.
12 Muzipanga mphonje mʼngodya za mkanjo umene mumavala.
On the four edges of your robe, with which your body is covered, put ornaments of twisted threads.
13 Ngati munthu akwatira mkazi, ndipo atagona naye nʼkusamufunanso
If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her,
14 namunyoza ndi kumuyipitsira dzina nʼkumati, “Ine ndinakwatira mkazi uyu, koma pamene ndinakhala naye, sindinachione chizindikiro cha unamwali wake,”
And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that she was not a virgin:
15 zikatero abambo ndi amayi ake ayenera kubweretsa chitsimikizo chakuti anali namwali kwa akuluakulu a mzinda ku chipata.
Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:
16 Abambo ake a mtsikanayo adzanene kwa akuluakuluwo kuti, “Ine ndinamupatsa munthu uyu mwana wanga wamkazi kuti amukwatire, koma sakumufunanso.
And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;
17 Tsopano wamunyoza ndipo wanena kuti, ‘Ine sindinapeze kuti mwana wanu wamkaziyu ndi namwali.’ Koma tsopano onani chitsimikizo ichi cha unamwali wa mwana wanga wamkazi.” Kenaka makolo a mtsikanayo adzaonetse kansalu kwa akuluakulu aja,
And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town.
18 ndipo akuluakuluwo adzamugwire munthuyo namupatsa chilango.
Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;
19 Iwo adzamulipitse ndalama zasiliva zokwana 100 nazipereka kwa abambo a mtsikana, chifukwa munthu uyu wayipitsa dzina la mtsikana wa Chiisraeli. Ayenera kukhalabe mkazi wake ndipo asadzamuleke moyo wake wonse.
They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.
20 Koma ngati zomunenerazo ndi zoona, ndipo kuti chitsimikizo cha unamwali wa mtsikanayo sichinapezeke,
But if what he has said is true, and she is seen to be not a virgin,
21 iyeyu ayenera kumutengera pa khomo pa abambo ake pamene anthu a mu mzinda wake akamuphere ndi miyala. Iyeyo wachita chinthu chochititsa manyazi mu Israeli pochita chiwerewere akanali pa khomo pa abambo ake. Muyenera kuchotsa zoyipa pakati panu.
Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away evil from among you.
22 Ngati munthu apezeka akugona ndi mkazi wa mwini wake, ayenera kuphedwa munthuyo pamodzi ndi mkazi yemwe wagona nayeyo. Muyenera kuchotsa zoyipa mu Israeli.
If a man is taken in the act of going in to a married woman, the two of them, the man as well as the woman, are to be put to death: so you are to put away the evil from Israel.
23 Ngati munthu mu mzinda akumana ndi mkazi yemwe anachita kale chinkhoswe nagona naye,
If a young virgin has given her word to be married to a man, and another man meeting her in the town, has connection with her;
24 muwatengere awiriwo ku chipata cha mzinda ndi kuwapha ndi miyala. Aphedwe chifukwa mtsikanayo anali pafupi ndi anthu ndipo sanakuwe kuti ena amuthandize ndipo mwamunayo chifukwa anayipitsa mkazi wa mwini. Muyenera kuchotsa choyipa pakati panu.
Then you are to take the two of them to the doorway of the town, and have them stoned to death; the young virgin, because she gave no cry for help, though it was in the town, and the man, because he has put shame on his neighbour's wife: so you are to put away evil from among you.
25 Koma ngati munthu akumana ndi mkazi kutchire yemwe anachita kale chinkhoswe namugwiririra, mwamuna yekhayo ndiye woyenera kuphedwa.
But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;
26 Mtsikanayo musamuchite chilichonse, palibe tchimo limene wachita loti ayenera kuphedwa. Mlandu uwu ufanana ndi wa munthu amene alimbana ndi kupha mnzake woyandikana naye,
Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:
27 pakuti mwamunayo anamupeza mtsikanayo kutchire, ndipo ngakhale mtsikana wachinkhosweyo anakuwa, panalibe anamulanditsa.
For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.
28 Ngati munthu apezana ndi namwali woti sanachite chinkhoswe, namugwiririra, munthuyo nʼkupezeka,
If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;
29 ayenera kuwalipira abambo ake a namwaliyo ndalama za siliva makumi asanu. Iye ayenera kumukwatira mkaziyo chifukwa wamuyipitsa, ndipo sadzamulekanso moyo wake wonse.
Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.
30 Munthu asakwatire mkazi wa abambo ake pakuti ayenera kuchitira ulemu pogona pa abambo ake.
A man may not take his father's wife or have sex relations with a woman who is his father's.
