“Kana ukatenga muranda wechiHebheru, anofanira kukushandira kwamakore matanhatu. Asi mugore rechinomwe, anofanira kusunungurwa aende, asina chinhu chaanoripa.
3 Ngati anabwera yekha, amasulidwenso yekha. Koma ngati anali ndi mkazi pamene ankabwera, mkaziyo apite nayenso.
Kana akauya ari oga, anofanira kusunungurwa aende ari oga; asi kana ano mukadzi pakuuya kwake, anofanira kuenda nomukadzi wake.
4 Ngati bwana wake amupatsa mkazi ndipo mkaziyo anabereka ana aamuna kapena aakazi, mkazi ndi anawo adzakhala a bwanayo ndipo mwamuna yekhayo ndiye adzamasulidwe.
Kana tenzi wake akamupa mukadzi uye akamuberekera vanakomana kana vanasikana, mukadzi navana vake vachava vatenzi wake, uye murume chete ndiye achasunungurwa kuti aende hake.
5 “Koma ngati kapoloyo alengeza kuti, ‘Ine sindikufuna kumasulidwa chifukwa ndimakonda mbuye wanga, mkazi wanga ndi ana,’
“Asi muranda akati, ‘Ndinoda tenzi wangu, mukadzi wangu navana vangu asi handisi kuda kusunungurwa,’
6 mbuye wakeyo abwere naye kwa Yehova. Abwere naye pa chitseko kapena pa mphuthu zachitseko ndipo abowole khutu lake ndi chitsulo. Ndipo iye adzakhala kapolo wake moyo wake wonse.

7 “Ngati munthu agulitsa mwana wake wamkazi kukhala mdzakazi, mwanayo asamasulidwe monga achitira ndi akapolo aamuna.
“Kana munhu akatengesa mwanasikana wake kuti ave murandakadzi, iyeye haafaniri kusunungurwa kuti aende sezvinoita varandarume.
8 Koma ngati mkaziyo sakukondweretsa bwana wake amene wamusankha kuti amukwatire, amulole kuti awomboledwe. Bwanayo alibe mphamvu zomugulitsa kwa anthu achilendo, chifukwa iyeyo waphwanya pangano lake lomukwatira iye.
Kana asingafadzi tenzi akamusarudza kuti ave wake, anofanira kumurega kuti adzikinurwe. Haana mvumo yokumutengesa kuvatorwa, nokuti aputsa chitenderano naye.
9 Ngati anamusankha kuti akhale mkazi wa mwana wake, ayenera kumusunga ngati mwana wake wamkazi.
Kana akamusarudzira mwanakomana wake, anofanira kumupa kodzero dzomwanasikana.
10 Ngati akwatira mkazi wina, asamumane woyambayo chakudya ngakhale chovala ndipo apiritirize kugona naye ngati mkazi wake.
Kana akawana mumwe mukadzi, haafaniri kunyima mukadzi wokutanga zvokudya, nguo kana kodzero dzake dzokuwanikwa.
11 Koma ngati sangathe kumuchitira zonsezi, ndiye amuleke apite popanda kulipira kanthu.
Kana asingamupi zvinhu zvitatu izvi, anofanira kuenda akasununguka pasina kana mari yaanoripa.
12 “Munthu aliyense amene amenya mnzake namupha, iyenso ayenera kuphedwa.
“Ani naani anorova munhu uye akamuuraya, zvirokwazvo naiye achaurayiwa.
13 Koma ngati sanachite dala, ndipo Mulungu analola kuti zichitike, iyeyo athawire ku malo kumene ndidzakupatsani.
Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana asingazviiti nobwoni, asi Mwari atendera kuti zviitike, iye anofanira kutizira kunzvimbo yandichatsaura.
14 Koma ngati munthu akonza chiwembu ndi kupha mnzake mwadala, ameneyo muchotseni ngakhale ku guwa langa lansembe ndipo aphedwe.
Asi kana munhu akaronga uye akauraya mumwe munhu nobwoni, mumubvise paaritari yangu uye mumuuraye.
15 “Munthu aliyense amene amenya abambo ake kapena mayi ake ayenera kuphedwa.
“Ani naani anorova baba vake kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.
16 “Munthu aliyense amene aba munthu mnzake, ndi kukamugulitsa, kapena kumangomusunga, ayenera kuphedwa.
“Ani naani anoba mumwe munhu uye akamutengesa kana kuti akawanikwa achinaye paanenge abatwa, anofanira kuurayiwa.
17 “Aliyense amene atemberera abambo ake kapena amayi ake ayenera kuphedwa.
“Ani naani anotuka baba vake kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.
18 “Ngati anthu awiri akangana ndipo wina amenya mnzake ndi mwala kapena nkhonya koma wosamupha, womenyedwayo akadwala nagona pa bedi,
“Kana vanhu vakakakavadzana uye mumwe akarova mumwe nebwe kana nechibhakera chake uye akasafa asi akavata panhoo,
19 kenaka nachira ndi kuyamba kuyenda ndi ndodo kutuluka kunja kwa nyumba yake, ndiye kuti womenya mnzakeyo sadzayimbidwa mlandu. Komabe adzayenera kulipira womenyedwayo chifukwa cha nthawi imene anagona pa bedi ija, ndiponso ayenera kumusala mpaka atachiritsitsa.
munhu arova haazobatwi nemhosva kana mumwe wacho akamuka akafamba-famba kunze nomudonzvo wake; kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, anofanira kuripa munhu akakuvara nokuda kwokurasikirwa kwake nenguva yake uye aone kuti apora zvachose.
20 “Ngati munthu amenya kapolo wake wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi ndi ndodo, kapolo uja ndikufa chifukwa cha kumenyedwako, munthuyo ayenera kulangidwa.
“Kana munhu akarova murandarume wake kana murandakadzi netsvimbo uye muranda akafa nokuda kwokurohwa, anofanira kurangwa,
21 Koma ngati kapolo uja akhala ndi moyo tsiku lonse kapena masiku awiri, ndiye kuti mbuye uja asalangidwe chifukwa kapolo ndi chuma chake.
asi haafaniri kurangwa kana muranda akamuka shure kwezuva rimwe chete kana maviri, sezvo muranda ari mudziyo wake.
22 “Ngati anthu akumenyana ndi kupweteka mayi woyembekezera, mayiyo napita padera, koma osavulala, wolakwayo ayenera kulipira chilichonse chimene mwamuna wake wa mkaziyo adzalamula ndipo bwalo lamilandu lavomereza.
“Kana varume vachirwa vakarova mukadzi ane mimba uye akabereka gavamwedzi asi asina kukuvara zvakanyanya, nyakupara mhosva anofanira kuripiswa zvose zvazvo zvinodiwa nomurume wacho uye zvinobvumirwa nedare remhosva.
23 Koma ngati wavulazidwa kwambiri, ndiye malipiro ake adzakhala motere: moyo kulipa moyo,
Asi kana pane kukuvara kwakaipisisa, unofanira kutora upenyu noupenyu,
24 diso kulipira diso, dzino kulipira dzino, mkono kulipa mkono, phazi kulipa phazi.
ziso neziso, zino nezino, ruoko noruoko, tsoka netsoka,
25 Kutentha ndi moto kulipa kutentha ndi moto, bala kulipa bala, mkwingwirima kulipa mkwingwirima.
kutsva nokutsva, ronda neronda, vanga nevanga.
26 “Ngati munthu amenya wantchito wake wa mwamuna kapena mdzakazi wake pa diso ndi kuliwononga, wantchitoyo amasulidwe ngati malipiro a diso lake.
“Kana munhu akarova murandarume kana murandakadzi paziso uye akariparadza, anofanira kurega muranda achienda akasununguka kuti atsive ziso rake.
27 Ndipo ngati agulula dzino la wantchito wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi, wantchitoyo amasulidwe ngati malipiro a dzino lake.
Uye kana akabvisa zino romurandarume kana romurandakadzi, anofanira kurega muranda aende akasununguka kuti atsive zino rake.
28 “Ngati ngʼombe ipha munthu wamwamuna kapena wamkazi ndi nyanga yake, iponyedwe miyala ndipo nyama yake isadyedwe. Ndipo mwini ngʼombeyo asayimbidwe mlandu.
“Kana hando ikatunga murume kana mukadzi akafa, hando iyoyo inofanira kutakwa namabwe kusvika yafa, uye nyama yayo haifaniri kudyiwa.
29 Koma ngati ngʼombeyo inali ndi chizolowezi chogunda anthu ndipo mwini wakeyo anachenjezedwa koma iye sanayimange ndipo yapha mwamuna kapena mkazi, ngʼombeyo iponyedwe miyala ndipo mwini wakeyo aphedwenso.
Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana hando yanga ine tsika yokutunga uye muridzi wayo akamboyambirwa hake asi akasaipfigira mudanga uye ikauraya murume kana mukadzi, hando iyo inofanira kutakwa namabwe uyewo muridzi wayo anofanira kuurayiwa.
30 Koma ngati wauzidwa kuti alipire, iye apereke zimene wauzidwazo kuti awombole moyo wake.
Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana pachidikanwa muripo unobva kwaari angadzikinura hake upenyu hwake nokuripa zvose zvazvo zvinodikanwa.
31 Lamulo ili ligwirenso ntchito ngati ngʼombeyo yagunda mwana wamwamuna kapena wamkazi.
Murayiro uyu unobatawo kana hando iyi yatunga mwanakomana kana mwanasikana.
32 Ngati ngʼombeyo yagunda kapolo wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi, mwini ngʼombeyo apereke masekeli makumi atatu a siliva kwa mwini kapoloyo, ndipo ngʼombeyo iponyedwe miyala.
Kana hando ikatunga murandarume kana murandakadzi, muridzi wayo anofanira kuripa mashekeri esirivha makumi matatu kuna tenzi womuranda, uye hando inofanira kutakwa namabwe.
33 “Munthu akasiya dzenje lapululu kapena akakumba dzenje koma wosaphimbapo, ndipo ngʼombe kapena bulu nʼkugweramo,
“Kana munhu akafukunura gomba kana kuchera rimwe gomba uye akarega kurifushira uye nzombe kana mbongoro ikawira mariri,
34 mwini dzenjelo amulipire mwini chiweto chakufacho koma iye atenge chiwetocho.
muridzi wegomba anofanira kuripa kurasikirwa uku; anofanira kuripira muridzi wayo, uye chipfuwo chafa chichava chake.
35 “Ngati ngʼombe ya munthu wina ipha ngʼombe ya mnzake, ngʼombe yamoyo ija igulitsidwe ndipo anthu awiriwo agawane pakati ndalama yake. Achite chimodzimodzi ndi ngʼombe yakufa ija.
“Kana hando yomumwe munhu ikakuvadza hando yomumwe uye ikafa, vanofanira kutengesa mhenyu yacho vagogovana zvakaenzana mari yacho vari vaviri, uye nemombe yakafawo.
36 Koma zikadziwika kuti ngʼombeyo inali ndi khalidwe logunda, ndipo mwini wake samayitsekera mʼkhola, mwini ngʼombeyo alipire ngʼombe ina yamoyo koma atenge yakufayo.”
Kunyange zvakadaro, kana zvakanga zvichizivikanwa kuti hando iyi yagara ine tsika yokutunga, asi muridzi akasaipfigira mudanga, muridzi anofanira kuripa chipfuwo nechipfuwo, uye chipfuwo chafa chichava chake.
