Leviticus 20
1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Moreover, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũisiraeli o wothe kana mũgeni o wothe ũrĩa ũtũũraga bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũkaaheana ũmwe wa ciana ciake kũrĩ ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Moleku, no nginya akooragwo. Mũingĩ wothe nĩ ũkaamũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto.
3 I also will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio, na nĩngamũingata kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao; tondũ wa kũheana ciana ciake kũrĩ Moleku, nĩathaahĩtie handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre na agathaahia rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru.
4 And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death;
Mũingĩ ũcio wa andũ ũngĩkaaga kũherithia mũndũ ũcio ũheanĩte ũmwe wa ciana ciake kũrĩ Moleku, mage kũmũũraga-rĩ,
5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that play the harlot after him, to play the harlot with Molech, from among their people.
nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio, hamwe na andũ a nyũmba yake, na ndĩmaingate kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao, we mwene na arĩa othe mamũrũmagĩrĩra na kũhũũra ũmaraya na Moleku.
6 And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
“‘Nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũrĩa ũtuĩragia maũndũ kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩ na maroho ma kũragũra na kuuma kũrĩ arogi, nĩguo ahũũre ũmaraya na ũndũ wa kũmarũmĩrĩra, na nĩngamũingata kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am Jehovah your God.
“‘Mwĩyamũrei mũtuĩke atheru tondũ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you.
Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa cia watho na mũcirũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, ũrĩa ũmũtheragia.
9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
“‘Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩruma ithe kana arume nyina, no nginya ooragwo. Nĩarumĩte ithe kana akaruma nyina, na thakame yake nĩĩkamũcookerera.
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩtharia na mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ, atharie na mũtumia wa mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake, itharia icio cierĩ, mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na mũtumia, no nginya mooragwo.
11 And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũtumia wa ithe, nĩaconorithĩtie ithe. Mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na mũtumia ũcio eerĩ no nginya mooragwo; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũtumia wa mũriũ, eerĩ no nginya mooragwo. Ũndũ ũcio mekĩte nĩ waganu ũkĩrĩte njano; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
13 And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũndũ mũrũme ũngĩ ta ũrĩa mũndũ akomaga na mũndũ-wa-nja-rĩ, andũ acio eerĩ nĩmekĩte ũndũ ũrĩ magigi. No nginya mooragwo; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩhikia mũndũ-wa-nja na ahikie nyina, ũcio nĩ waganu. Mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na andũ-a-nja acio eerĩ no nginya macinwo na mwaki, nĩgeetha gũtikanakorwo na waganu thĩinĩ wanyu.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na nyamũ-rĩ, no nginya mũndũ ũcio ooragwo, na no nginya mũũrage nyamũ ĩyo.
16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Mũndũ-wa-nja angĩĩtwarĩrĩra harĩ nyamũ nĩguo akome nayo-rĩ, nĩmũkooraga mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio hamwe na nyamũ ĩyo. No nginya mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ooragwo na nyamũ ĩyo yũragwo; thakame yake nĩĩkamũcookerera, na thakame ya nyamũ ĩyo ĩmĩcookerere.
17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩhikia mwarĩ wa ithe, arĩ mwarĩ wa ithe kana wa nyina, na makomanie, icio nĩ njono. No nginya maingatwo mehere kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao. Nĩaconorithĩtie mwarĩ wa ithe. Na nĩagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio ekĩte.
18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath made naked her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũndũ-wa-nja hĩndĩ yake ya mweri, nĩaguũria riurĩro rĩake, o nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agakĩguũria riurĩro rĩa thakame yake. Andũ acio eerĩ nĩmakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister; for he hath made naked his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
“‘Ndũkanakome na tataguo kana mwarĩ wa nyina na thoguo, nĩ ũndũ gwĩka ũguo nĩ gũconorithia mũndũ ũrĩa mũrĩ rũrĩra; inyuĩ eerĩ nĩmũgacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio mwĩkĩte.
20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
“‘Mũndũ angĩkoma na tatawe-rĩ, nĩaconorithĩtie mamawe. Nĩmagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio mekĩte; magaakua matarĩ magĩa mwana.
21 And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is impurity: he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.
“‘Mũndũ angĩhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina ũcio nĩ thaahu, nĩaconorithĩtie mũrũ wa nyina. Megũtũũra matarĩ magĩa mwana.
22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, vomit you not out.
“‘Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa ciothe cia watho, na mawatho makwa mũmarũmagĩrĩre, nĩguo mũtũũre bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩramũtwara, na nĩgeetha ndũkanamũtahĩke.
23 And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Mũtikanatũũre kũringana na mĩtugo ya ndũrĩrĩ iria ngũingata imweherere. Ndacimenire nĩ tondũ nĩciekire maũndũ macio mothe.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples.
No niĩ ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkegwatĩra bũrũri wao; nĩngamũhe guo ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.” Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa wamwamũrire kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ.
25 Ye shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by anything wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have separated from you as unclean.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio no nginya mũkũũranage nyamũ iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu, na nyoni iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu. Mũtikanethaahie na nyamũ kana nyoni o na ĩrĩkũ, kana kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩthiiagĩra thĩ, iria ciothe ndaamũranirie tondũ irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine.
No nginya mũtuĩke atheru harĩ niĩ, tondũ niĩ, Jehova, ndĩ mũtheru, na nĩndĩmwamũranĩtie na ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ mũtuĩke akwa kĩũmbe.
27 A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩ maroho marĩa maragũraga kana mũrogi thĩinĩ wanyu, no nginya makooragwo. Mũmahũũre na mahiga nyuguto. Thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.’”
