Leviticus 19
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema.
2 Speake vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Ye shalbe holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
Zungumza na kusanyiko lote la watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Ni lazima muwe watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi Yahweh Mungu wenu ni mtakatifu.
3 Yee shall feare euery man his mother and his father, and shall keepe my Sabbaths: for I am the Lord your God.
Kila mtu amstahi mama yake na baba yake. Na ni lazima muzishike Sabato zangu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
4 Ye shall not turne vnto idoles, nor make you molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
Msizigeukie sanamu zisizo na thamani, wala kujitengenezea wenyewe miungu kutokana na chuma. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
5 And when yee shall offer a peace offering vnto the Lord, ye shall offer it freely.
Unapotoa dhabihu za sadaka ya ushirika kwa Yahweh, utatoa ili kupata kibali.
6 It shall be eaten the day yee offer it, or on the morowe: and that which remaineth vntill the third day, shalbe burnt in the fire.
Ni sharti iliwe siku hiyo hiyo uliyoitoa, au siku inayofuata.
7 For if it be eaten the third day, it shall be vncleane, it shall not be accepted.
Kama kinabaki kitu cho chote hata siku ya tatu ni lazima kiteketezwe kwa moto. Kama kitaliwa katika siku ya tatu kitakuwa najisi. Hakitakubalika,
8 Therefore he that eateth it, shall beare his iniquitie, because he hath defiled the halowed thing of the Lord, and that person shalbe cut off from his people.
lakini kila akilaye ni lazima atachukua hatia yake kwa sababu amekivunjia heshima kilicho kitakatifu kwa Yahweh. Mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
9 When yee reape the haruest of your land, ye shall not reape euery corner of your field, neither shalt thou gather the glainings of thy haruest.
Unapovuna mavuno ya ardhi yako, usivune hata pembezo mwa shamba lako kabisa, wala hutakusanya mabaki ya mavuno yako yote.
10 Thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy vineyarde cleane, neyther gather euery grape of thy vineyarde, but thou shalt leaue them for the poore and for the straunger: I am the Lord your God.
Usikusanye kila zabibu kutoka katika mizabibu yako, wala usiziokote dhabibu zilizoanguka chini katika shamba la mizabibu. Ni lazima uziache kwa ajili ya masikini na kwa ajili ya wageni. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.
11 Ye shall not steale, neither deale falsely, neither lie one to another.
Usiibe. Usiseme uongo. Msidanganyane.
12 Also yee shall not sweare by my name falsely, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
Usiape kwa jina langu kwa uongo na kulinajisi jina la Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh
13 Thou shalt not do thy neighbour wrong, neither rob him. The workemans hire shall not abide with thee vntil the morning.
Usimgandamize jirani yako wala kumwibia. Usishikilie malipo ya kibarua usiku kucha hata asubuhi.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deafe, neither put a stumbling blocke before the blinde, but shalt feare thy God: I am the Lord.
Usimlaani kiziwi au kuweka kikwazo mbele ya kipofu. Badala yake, yakupasa umwogope Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
15 Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement. Thou shalt not fauour the person of the poore, nor honour the person of the mightie, but thou shalt iudge thy neighbour iustly.
Usisababishe hukumu ikawa ya uongo. Usionyeshe upendeleo kwa mtu fulani eti kwa kuwa tu yeye ni masikini na usionyeshe upendeleo kwa mtu fulani eti kwa kuwa tu yeye ni mtu muhimu. Badala yake, amua juu ya jirani yako kwa haki.
16 Thou shalt not walke about with tales among thy people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord.
Usiende huku na huko ukisema habari za uchochezi miongoni mwa watu wako, bali tafuta kuyalinda maisha ya jirani yako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but thou shalt plainely rebuke thy neighbour, and suffer him not to sinne.
Usimchukie ndugu yako moyoni mwako. Mkemee jirani yako kwa heshima ili kwamba usishiriki katika dhambi kwa sababu yake.
18 Thou shalt not auenge, nor be mindful of wrong against ye childre of thy people, but shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe: I am the Lord.
Usijilipize kisasi au kuwa na chuki yoyote dhidi ya mtu yeyote wa watu wako, lakini badala yake mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
19 Yee shall keepe mine ordinances. Thou shalt not let thy cattel gender with others of diuers kindes. Thou shalt not sowe thy fielde with mingled seede, neyther shall a garment of diuers thinges, as of linen and wollen come vpon thee.
Shika amri zangu. Usiwazalishe wanyama wako kwa kutumia wanyama wa aina nyingine tofauti. Usichanganye aina mbili tofauti za mbegu unapopanda shamba lako. Usivae vazi lililofumwa kwa kutumia nyuzi za rangi mbili tofauti zilizochanganywa pamoja.
20 Whosoeuer also lyeth and medleth with a woman that is a bonde mayde, affianced to a husband, and not redeemed, nor freedome giuen her, she shalbe scourged, but they shall not die, because she is not made free.
Yeyote anayelala na msichana mtumwa aliyeposwa na mume mwingine, lakini ambaye hajakombolewa au hajaachwa huru, lazima waadhibiwe. Hawatauawa kwa sababu yule msichana hakuwa huru.
21 And he shall bring for his trespasse offring vnto the Lord, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, a ramme for a trespasse offering.
Ni lazima mtu huyo alete sadaka yake ya hatia kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania—kondoo dume iwe sadaka ya hatia.
22 Then the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ramme of the trespasse offering before the Lord, concerning his sinne which he hath done, and pardon shalbe giuen him for his sinne which he hath committed.
Kisha kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa huyo kandoo dume mbele za Yahweh kutokana na dhambi aliyoitenda. Nayo dhambi iliyotendwa itasamehewa.
23 Also when ye shall come into the land, and haue planted euery tree for meate, ye shall count the fruite thereof as vncircumcised: three yeere shall it be vncircumcised vnto you, it shall not be eaten:
Mtakapoingia katika nchi na kupanda aina zote za miti kwa chakula, kisha mtayahesabu matunda yatakayozaliwa kuwa yamekatazwa kuliwa. Tunda litakatazwa kwako kwa miaka mitatu. Halitaliwa.
24 But in the fourth yere all the fruite thereof shalbe holy to the praise of the Lord.
Lakini katika mwaka wa nne matunda yote yatakuwa matakatiifu, matoleo ya sifa kwa Yahweh.
25 And in the fifth yeere shall ye eate of the fruite of it that it may yeelde to you the encrease thereof: I am the Lord your God.
Katika mwaka wa tano unaweza kula tunda, ambalo umelisubiri ili kwamba mti uweze kuzaa zaidi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.
26 Ye shall not eat the flesh with the blood, ye shall not vse witchcraft, nor obserue times.

Usimwaibishe binti yako kwa kumfanya kahaba, la sivyo taifa litaangukia kwenye ukahaba na nchi itajawa na uovu.

Utazitunza Sabato zangu na kupaheshimu mahali patakatifu pa hema langu la kukutania. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

Mgeni anapoishi miongoni mwenu katika nchi yanu, usimtendee lolote lililobaya.
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you, shalbe as one of your selues, and thou shalt loue him as thy selfe: for ye were strangers in the lad of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Mgeni anayeishi pamoja nanyi ni lazima awe kama mwenyeji Mwisraeli mzaliwa anayeishi kwenu, na sharti umpende kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe, ni kwa sababu wewe ulikuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Misri. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.
35 Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement, in line, in weight, or in measure.
Unapopima urefu, uzito, au wingi usitumie vipimo vya udanganyifu.
36 You shall haue iust ballances, true weightes, a true Ephah, and a true Hin. I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt.
Tumia mizani iliyo halali, mawe ya kupimia uzito yaliyo halali, efa halali, hini iliyo halali. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako, aliyekutoa katika nchi ya utumwa ya Misri.
37 Therefore shall ye obserue all mine ordinances, and all my iudgements, and doe them: I am the Lord.
Utayatii maagizo yangu na sheria zangu zote na kuzitenda. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
