Leviticus 20
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
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.
“Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo aliyense wokhala mu Israeli wopereka mwana wake kwa Moleki ayenera kuphedwa. Anthu a mʼdera lakelo amuphe ndi miyala.
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.
Munthu ameneyo ndidzamufulatira ndi kumuchotsa pakati pa anzake.’ Popereka mwana wake kwa Moleki, wadetsa malo anga wopatulika ndi kuyipitsa dzina langa loyera.
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;
Ngati anthu a mʼderalo achita ngati sakumuona munthuyo pamene akupereka mwana wake kwa Moleki ndi kusamupha,
5 then I will set My face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, to go astray after Molech, from among their people.
Ineyo ndidzamufulatira pamodzi ndi banja lake. Ndidzawachotsa pakati pa anthu anzawo onse amene anamutsatira, nadziyipitsa okha popembedza Moleki.”
6 And the soul that turneth unto the ghosts, and unto the familiar spirits, to go astray after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
“‘Ngati munthu adzapita kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa kapena kwa owombeza, nadziyipitsa powatsatira iwowo, Ine ndidzamufulatira ndi kumuchotsa pakati pa anthu anzake.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am the LORD your God.
“‘Chifukwa chake dzipatuleni ndi kukhala woyera popeza Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
8 And keep ye My statutes, and do them: I am the LORD who sanctify you.
Ndipo sungani malangizo anga ndi kuwatsata. Ine ndine Yehova amene ndimakuyeretsani.
9 For whatsoever man there be 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.
“‘Munthu aliyense amene atemberera abambo ake kapena amayi ake ayenera kuphedwa. Magazi ake adzakhala pamutu pake chifukwa iye watemberera abambo kapena amayi ake.
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
“‘Ngati munthu wachita chigololo ndi mkazi wa mnzake, mwamunayo pamodzi ndi mkaziyo ayenera kuphedwa.
11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife — he hath uncovered his father's nakedness — both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi mkazi wa abambo ake, wachititsa manyazi abambo ake. Munthuyo pamodzi ndi mkaziyo ayenera kuphedwa. Magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pake.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought corruption; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi mkazi wa mwana wake, awiriwo ayenera kuphedwa. Iwo achita chinthu chonyansa kwambiri. Magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pawo.
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.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi mwamuna mnzake ngati akugonana ndi mkazi, ndiye kuti onsewo achita chinthu cha manyazi. Choncho aphedwe. Magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pawo.
14 And if a man take with his wife also her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
“‘Ngati munthu akwatira mkazi, nakwatiranso amayi ake, chimenecho ndi chinthu choyipa kwambiri. Mwamunayo pamodzi ndi akaziwo ayenera kutenthedwa pa moto kuti chinthu choyipa chotere chisapezekenso pakati panu.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death; and ye shall slay the beast.
“‘Ngati mwamuna agonana ndi nyama, iye ayenera kuphedwa, ndipo muyeneranso kupha nyamayo.
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.
“‘Ngati mkazi agonana ndi nyama, aphedwe pamodzi ndi nyamayo. Mkaziyo ndi nyamayo ayenera kuphedwa, ndipo magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pawo.
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.
“‘Ngati munthu akakwatira mlongo wake, mwana wamkazi wa abambo ake, kapena mwana wamkazi wa amayi ake, ndipo iwo nʼkugonana, ndiye kuti achita chinthu chochititsa manyazi. Onse awiri ayenera kuchotsedwa pa gulu la abale awo. Tsono popeza munthuyo wachititsa manyazi mlongo wake, adzayenera kulandira chilango.
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 — both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi mkazi pa nthawi yake yosamba, ndiye kuti wavula msambo wake, ndipo mkaziyo wadzivulanso. Onse awiri achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzawo.
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.
“‘Musagonane ndi mchemwali wa amayi anu kapena abambo anu, pakuti kutero ndi kuchititsa manyazi mʼbale wanu. Nonse mudzalipira mlandu wanu.
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.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi azakhali ake, munthuyo wachititsa manyazi a malume ake. Onse adzalipira mlandu wawo. Onsewo adzafa wopanda 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.
“‘Munthu akakwatira mkazi wa mchimwene wake ndiye kuti wachita chinthu chonyansa. Wachititsa manyazi mʼbale wakeyo. Onse awiriwo adzakhala wopanda 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.
“‘Nʼchifukwa chake muzisunga malangizo anga onse ndi malamulo anga ndipo muwatsatire kuti ku dziko limene Ine ndikupita nanu kuti mukakhalemo lisakakusanzeni.
23 And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Musatsanzire miyambo ya mitundu ya anthu imene ndi kuyipirikitsa inu mukufika. Chifukwa iwo anachita zinthu zonsezi, ndipo Ine ndinanyansidwa nawo.
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 the LORD your God, who have set you apart from the peoples.
Koma Ine ndinakuwuzani kuti, ‘Mudzatenga dziko lawo. Ine ndidzakupatsani dzikolo kuti likhale cholowa chanu, dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi.’ Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndakupatulani pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
25 Ye shall therefore separate between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and ye shall not make your souls detestable by beast, or by fowl, or by any thing wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean.
“‘Chifukwa chake muzisiyanitsa pakati pa nyama zoyeretsedwa ndi nyama zodetsedwa ndiponso pakati pa mbalame zoyeretsedwa ndi mbalame zodetsedwa. Musadzidetse pakudya nyama iliyonse kapena mbalame, kapena chilichonse chimene chimakwawa pansi, chimene Ine ndachipatula kuti chikhale chodetsedwa kwa inu.
26 And ye shall be holy unto Me; for I the LORD am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be Mine.
Muzikhala woyera pamaso panga chifukwa Ine Yehova, ndine woyera ndipo ndakupatulani pakati pa anthu a mitundu yonse kuti mukhale anthu anga.
27 A man also or a woman that divineth by a ghost or a familiar spirit, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Mwamuna kapena mkazi woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa kapena wanyanga pakati panu ayenera kuphedwa. Muwagende ndi miyala, ndipo magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pawo.’”
