Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.
“Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari, ‘Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
3 Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.
Hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuIjipiti, kwamaigara uye hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuKenani, kwandiri kukuendesai. Musatevera zviito zvavo.
4 Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
Munofanira kutevera mitemo yangu uye mugochenjerera kuti mutevere mirayiro yangu. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
5 So ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
Chengetai mirayiro nemitemo yangu nokuti munhu anoiteerera achararama nayo. Ndini Jehovha.
6 No man shall draw nigh to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
“‘Hapana anofanira kuswedera kuhama yepedyo kuti avate naye. Ndini Jehovha.
7 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, for she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usazvidza baba vako nokusangana namai vako. Ndimai vako usasangana navo.
8 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife; it is thy father's nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi wababa vako, izvi zvingazvidza baba vako.
9 The nakedness of thy sister by thy father or by thy mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
“‘Usasangana nehanzvadzi yako kana mwanasikana wababa vako kana mwanasikana wamai vako, zvisinei kuti akaberekwa mumba mumwe chete kana kumwewo.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or thy daughter's daughter, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; because it is thy nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomwanasikana womwanakomana wako kana mwanasikana womwanasikana wako; izvi zvingauyisa kuzvidzwa kwauri.
11 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of thy father's wife; she is thy sister by the same father: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomwanasikana womukadzi wababa vako akaberekwa nababa vako, ihanzvadzi yako.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister, for she is near akin to thy father.
“‘Usasangana nehanzvadzi yababa vako, ihama yababa vako yepedyo.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, for she is near akin to thy mother.
“‘Usasangana nomukoma kana mununʼuna wamai vako nokuti ihama yamai vako yepedyo.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, and thou shalt not go in to his wife; for she is thy relation.
“‘Usazvidza mununʼuna kana mukoma wababa vako nokuswedera kumukadzi wavo kuti uvate naye; nokuti ndimaiguru kana mainini.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law, for she is thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomuroora wako, mukadzi womwanakomana wako; usasangana naye.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi womukoma kana mununʼuna wako; izvi zvingauyisa kuzvidzwa kwomukoma kana mununʼuna wako.
17 The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shalt thou not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are thy kinswomen: it is impiety.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi pamwe chete nomwanasikana wake. Usasangana nomwanasikana womwanakomana wake kana mwanasikana womwanasikana wake; ihama dzake dzepedyo. Zvakaipa izvozvo.
18 Thou shalt not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.
“‘Usatora mununʼuna womukadzi wako kuti ave mukadzinyina, varwisane, ugosangana naye mukadzi wako achiri mupenyu.
19 And thou shalt not go in to a woman under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usaswedera kumukadzi kuti usangane naye panguva yokusachena kwokuenda kumwedzi kwake.
20 And thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi womuvakidzani wako ugozvisvibisa naye.
21 And thou shalt not give of thy seed to serve a ruler; and thou shalt not profane my holy name; I [am] the Lord.
“‘Usapa ani zvake pakati pavana vako kuti vabayirwe kuna Moreki nokuti haufaniri kumhura zita raJehovha. Ndini Jehovha.
22 And thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
“‘Usavata nomurume somurume anovata nomukadzi; zvinonyangadza.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
“‘Usasangana nemhuka uye ugozvisvibisa nayo. Mukadzi haafaniri kuzvipa kumhuka kuti asangane nayo; uku kunyangadza kukuru.
24 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
“‘Musazvisvibisa neimwe yenzira idzi nokuti ndudzi dzandichadzinga pamberi penyu dzakazvisvibisa naizvozvo.
25 and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
Kunyange nyika yakasvibiswa; naizvozvo ndakairanga nokuda kwezvakaipa zvayo uye nyika yakarutsa vagari vayo.
26 And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
Asi imi munofanira kuchengeta mirayiro yangu nemitemo yangu. Zvizvarwa zvenyu navatorwa vagere pakati penyu havafaniri kuita kana chimwe chezvinhu zvinonyangadza izvi,
27 (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )
nokuti zvinhu zvose izvi zvakaitwa navanhu vaigara munyika iyoyo musati mavamo, uye nyika ikasvibiswa.
28 and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
Uye kana mukasvibisa nyika, ichakurutsirai kunze sokurutsa kwayakaita ndudzi dzaigaramo imi musati mavamo.
29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.
“‘Ani naani anoita zvinonyangadza izvi, vanhu vakadaro vanofanira kubviswa kubva pavanhu vokwavo.
30 And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your God.
Chengetai zvandakakurayirai uye musatevedzera kana imwe yetsika dzinonyangadza dzaiitwa musati mauya, uye musazvisvibisa nadzo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.’”
