Deuteronomo 22
1 Ngati uwona ngʼombe kapena nkhosa ya mʼbale wako ikusochera, usayilekerere koma uyesetse kuyibwezera kwa iye.
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them back unto thy brother.
2 Ngati mʼbale wakoyo sakhala pafupi kapena sukudziwa kuti ndi yandani, uyitengere ku nyumba kwako ndi kuyisamala mpaka mwini wake atayilondola ndipo umubwezere.
And if thy brother be not near unto thee, and thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thy house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it unto him.
3 Uzitero ndithu ngati upeza bulu kapena mkanjo kapena chilichonse chimene chatayika. Osachilekerera.
And so shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his clothing; and so shalt thou do with everything that is lost of thy brother, which he loseth, and thou findest: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4 Ngati wapeza bulu kapena ngʼombe ya mʼbale wako itagwa panjira, usayilekerere. Ithandize kuti idzuke.
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case [help] him to lift them up.
5 Akazi asavale zovala za amuna, kapena mwamuna kuvala zovala za akazi, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amanyansidwa ndi aliyense wochita izi.
There shall not be a man's apparel on a woman, neither shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever doeth so is an abomination to Jehovah thy 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 a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree, or upon the ground, with young or with eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam 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.
thou shalt in any case let the dam go, and thou mayest take the young to thee, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
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.
When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any one should in any wise fall from it.
9 Musadzale mbewu zamitundu iwiri mʼmunda wanu wa mpesa, ngati mutero, si mbewu zanu zokha zimene zidzakhale zodetsedwa, komanso zipatso za mʼmunda wamphesawo.
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with [seed of] two sorts, lest the whole of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the produce of thy vineyard, be forfeited.
10 Musatipule pogwiritsa ntchito ngʼombe ndi bulu pa goli limodzi.
Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together.
11 Musamavale chovala chopangidwa mophatikiza ubweya ndi thonje.
Thou shalt not wear a garment of mixed material, [woven] of wool and linen together.
12 Muzipanga mphonje mʼngodya za mkanjo umene mumavala.
Tassels shalt thou make thee on the four corners of thy clothing, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
13 Ngati munthu akwatira mkazi, ndipo atagona naye nʼkusamufunanso
If a man take a wife, and go in unto her and hate her,
14 namunyoza ndi kumuyipitsira dzina nʼkumati, “Ine ndinakwatira mkazi uyu, koma pamene ndinakhala naye, sindinachione chizindikiro cha unamwali wake,”
and charge her with things for scandalous talk, and cause an evil name against her to be spread abroad, and say, This woman have I taken, and I came in unto her, and I did not find her a virgin;
15 zikatero abambo ndi amayi ake ayenera kubweretsa chitsimikizo chakuti anali namwali kwa akuluakulu a mzinda ku chipata.
then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate;
16 Abambo ake a mtsikanayo adzanene kwa akuluakuluwo kuti, “Ine ndinamupatsa munthu uyu mwana wanga wamkazi kuti amukwatire, koma sakumufunanso.
and the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man as wife, and he hates 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 behold, he charges her with things for scandalous talk, saying, I found not thy daughter a virgin; and here are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 ndipo akuluakuluwo adzamugwire munthuyo namupatsa chilango.
And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;
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.
and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath caused an evil name to be spread abroad against a virgin in Israel. And she shall remain his wife: he may not put her away all his days.
20 Koma ngati zomunenerazo ndi zoona, ndipo kuti chitsimikizo cha unamwali wa mtsikanayo sichinapezeke,
But if this thing is true, [and] virginity hath not been found with the damsel;
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 shall bring out the damsel unto the entrance of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought infamy in Israel, committing fornication in her father's house; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
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 be found lying with a man's wife, they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; and thou shalt put away evil from Israel.
23 Ngati munthu mu mzinda akumana ndi mkazi yemwe anachita kale chinkhoswe nagona naye,
If a damsel, a virgin, be betrothed to some one, and a man find her in the city, and lie 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 ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city, and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
25 Koma ngati munthu akumana ndi mkazi kutchire yemwe anachita kale chinkhoswe namugwiririra, mwamuna yekhayo ndiye woyenera kuphedwa.
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her, then the man only that lay with her shall die;
26 Mtsikanayo musamuchite chilichonse, palibe tchimo limene wachita loti ayenera kuphedwa. Mlandu uwu ufanana ndi wa munthu amene alimbana ndi kupha mnzake woyandikana naye,
and unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing: there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and murdereth him, so is this matter;
27 pakuti mwamunayo anamupeza mtsikanayo kutchire, ndipo ngakhale mtsikana wachinkhosweyo anakuwa, panalibe anamulanditsa.
for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was no one to save her.
28 Ngati munthu apezana ndi namwali woti sanachite chinkhoswe, namugwiririra, munthuyo nʼkupezeka,
If a man find a damsel, a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found,
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 that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.
30 Munthu asakwatire mkazi wa abambo ake pakuti ayenera kuchitira ulemu pogona pa abambo ake.
A man shall not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
