< Deuteronomy 22 >
1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep driven away, and hide thyself from them; thou shalt surely bring them back unto thy brother.
Kama ukimwona ngʼombe au kondoo wa ndugu yako anapotea, usipuuze, bali uhakikishe unamrudisha kwa mwenyewe.
2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, and thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it home to thy house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother require it, and thou shalt restore it to him.
Ikiwa huyo ndugu haishi karibu nawe au kama hufahamu yeye ni nani, mchukue nyumbani kwako huyo mnyama umweke mpaka mwenyewe aje kumtafuta. Ndipo umrudishie.
3 And so shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his garment; and so shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found; thou mayest not hide thyself.
Fanya vivyo hivyo ukimkuta punda wa nduguyo au joho lake au chochote alichopoteza. Usipuuze jambo hilo.
4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them; thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
Kama ukimwona punda wa nduguyo au ngʼombe wake ameanguka barabarani, usipuuze jambo hilo. Msaidie asimame kwa miguu yake.
5 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Haimpasi mwanamke kuvaa nguo za kiume wala mwanaume kuvaa nguo za kike, kwa maana Bwana Mungu wenu anachukia yeyote ambaye hufanya hivi.
6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young;
Kama ukikuta kiota cha ndege kando ya barabara, iwe juu ya mti au chini, naye ndege amelala juu ya makinda au mayai, usimchukue huyo ndege pamoja na makinda yake.
7 thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, but the young thou mayest take unto thyself; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
Waweza kuchukua makinda, lakini uwe na hakika ya kumwacha huyo ndege, ili upate kufanikiwa na uweze kuishi maisha marefu.
8 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any man fall from thence.
Wakati unapojenga nyumba mpya, fanya ukuta wa kuzuia kandokando ya dari ili usijiletee hatia ya kumwaga damu juu ya nyumba yako ikiwa yeyote ataanguka kutoka humo.
9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed; lest the fulness of the seed which thou hast sown be forfeited together with the increase of the vineyard.
Usipande aina mbili za mbegu katika shamba lako la mizabibu; ikiwa utafanya hivyo, si mazao utakayopanda tu yatakuwa najisi, bali nayo matunda ya shamba la mizabibu pia.
10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
Usilime kwa maksai aliyefungwa nira pamoja na punda.
11 Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together.
Usivae nguo za sufu na kitani zilizofumwa pamoja.
12 Thou shalt make thee twisted cords upon the four corners of thy covering, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
Fanya vishada kwenye pembe nne za joho unalovaa.
13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
Ikiwa mtu atamwoa mke na, baada ya kufanya naye tendo la ndoa, akamchukia,
14 and lay wanton charges against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say: 'I took this woman, and when I came nigh to her, I found not in her the tokens of virginity';
akimsingizia na kumwita jina baya, akisema, “Nilimwoa mwanamke huyu, lakini nilipomkaribia sikupata uthibitisho wa ubikira wake”
15 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.
ndipo baba na mama wa msichana wataleta uthibitisho kwamba alikuwa bikira kwa wazee wa mji kwenye lango.
16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders: 'I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
Baba wa msichana atawaambia wazee, “Nilimwoza binti yangu kwa huyu mwanaume, lakini hampendi.
17 and, lo, he hath laid wanton charges, saying: I found not in thy daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.' And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
Sasa amemsingizia na kusema, ‘Sikumkuta huyu binti akiwa bikira.’ Lakini hapa kuna uthibitisho wa ubikira wa binti yangu.” Kisha wazazi wake wataonyesha nguo zake kwa wazee wa mji,
18 And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.
nao wazee watamchukua huyo mwanaume na kumwadhibu.
19 And they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
Watamtoza shekeli mia moja za fedha na kupewa wazazi wa msichana, kwa sababu mwanaume huyu amempa bikira wa Kiisraeli jina baya. Ataendelea kuwa mke wake; kamwe hawezi kumpa talaka siku zote za maisha yake.
20 But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel;
Hata hivyo, kama shtaka ni la kweli na hakuna uthibitisho juu ya ubikira wa huyo msichana ulioweza kupatikana,
21 then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die; because she hath wrought a wanton deed in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house; so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
huyo msichana ataletwa kwenye mlango wa nyumba ya baba yake, na hapo watu wa mji wake watampiga kwa mawe hadi afe. Amefanya kitu cha aibu katika Israeli kwa kufanya ukahaba akiwa nyumbani kwa babaye. Lazima mwondoe uovu katikati yenu.
22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so shalt thou put away the evil from Israel.
Ikiwa mwanaume atakutwa akizini na mke wa mtu mwingine, wote wawili, mwanaume na mwanamke aliyezini naye, lazima wauawe. Lazima mwondoe uovu katika Israeli.
23 If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto a man, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
Ikiwa mwanaume atakutana na bikira mjini ambaye ameposwa na mtu akazini naye,
24 then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall 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; so thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
utawachukua wote wawili kwenye lango la mji na kuwapiga kwa mawe mpaka wafe; yule msichana kwa kuwa alikuwa mjini na hakupiga kelele kuomba msaada, na yule mwanaume kwa sababu amemtenda jeuri mke wa mtu mwingine. Lazima mwondoe uovu katikati yenu.
25 But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man take hold of her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die.
Lakini ikiwa itatokea mwanaume akakutana na msichana aliyeposwa huko mashambani, akambaka, mwanaume aliyefanya hivi peke yake ndiye atakayeuawa.
26 But 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 slayeth him, even so is this matter.
Usimtendee msichana yule jambo lolote; hajafanya dhambi inayostahili kifo. Shauri hili ni kama lile la yeyote ambaye anamshambulia na kumuua kwa makusudi jirani yake,
27 For he found her in the field; the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
kwa maana mwanaume huyo alimkuta msichana huko mashambani, na ingawa msichana aliyeposwa alipiga kelele, hapakuwa na mtu wa kumwokoa.
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Ikiwa itatokea mwanaume akutane na bikira ambaye hajaposwa na kumbaka nao wakakutwa,
29 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.
mwanaume atamlipa baba wa msichana shekeli hamsini za fedha. Ni lazima amwoe huyo msichana, kwa maana amemfanyia jeuri. Kamwe hawezi kumpa talaka siku zote za maisha yake.
30 A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
Mwanaume asimwoe mke wa baba yake; kamwe asidhalilishe kitanda cha baba yake.
