Leviticus 20
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Again, you shall say to the children of Israel, Whoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that gives any of his seed to 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 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed to 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 any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and kill him not:
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 a whoring after him, to commit prostitution with 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 turns after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring 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 you holy: for I am the LORD your God.
“‘Chifukwa chake dzipatuleni ndi kukhala woyera popeza Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
8 And you shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
Ndipo sungani malangizo anga ndi kuwatsata. Ine ndine Yehova amene ndimakuyeretsani.
9 For every one that curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be on 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 commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he that commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, 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 lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on 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 worked confusion; their blood shall be on them.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi mkazi wa mwana wake, awiriwo ayenera kuphedwa. Iwo achita chinthu chonyansa kwambiri. Magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pawo.
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on 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 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.
“‘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 you shall slay the beast.
“‘Ngati mwamuna agonana ndi nyama, iye ayenera kuphedwa, ndipo muyeneranso kupha nyamayo.
16 And if a woman approach to any beast, and lie down thereto, you shall kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on 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 wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he has 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 has discovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and 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 you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister: for he uncovers 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 has 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 an unclean thing: he has 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 You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, where I bring you to dwell therein, spew 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 you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed 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 to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
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 You shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and you shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as 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 you shall be holy to me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that you 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 woman that has a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be on 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.’”
