Leviticus 18
1 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Yhwh your God.
“Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari, ‘Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
Hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuIjipiti, kwamaigara uye hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuKenani, kwandiri kukuendesai. Musatevera zviito zvavo.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am Yhwh your God.
Munofanira kutevera mitemo yangu uye mugochenjerera kuti mutevere mirayiro yangu. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Yhwh.
Chengetai mirayiro nemitemo yangu nokuti munhu anoiteerera achararama nayo. Ndini Jehovha.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yhwh.
“‘Hapana anofanira kuswedera kuhama yepedyo kuti avate naye. Ndini Jehovha.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usazvidza baba vako nokusangana namai vako. Ndimai vako usasangana navo.
8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi wababa vako, izvi zvingazvidza baba vako.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even 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 of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomwanasikana womwanakomana wako kana mwanasikana womwanasikana wako; izvi zvingauyisa kuzvidzwa kwauri.
11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, 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: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.
“‘Usasangana nehanzvadzi yababa vako, ihama yababa vako yepedyo.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.
“‘Usasangana nomukoma kana mununʼuna wamai vako nokuti ihama yamai vako yepedyo.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
“‘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: 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 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi pamwe chete nomwanasikana wake. Usasangana nomwanasikana womwanakomana wake kana mwanasikana womwanasikana wake; ihama dzake dzepedyo. Zvakaipa izvozvo.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
“‘Usatora mununʼuna womukadzi wako kuti ave mukadzinyina, varwisane, ugosangana naye mukadzi wako achiri mupenyu.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
“‘Usaswedera kumukadzi kuti usangane naye panguva yokusachena kwokuenda kumwedzi kwake.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi womuvakidzani wako ugozvisvibisa naye.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Yhwh.
“‘Usapa ani zvake pakati pavana vako kuti vabayirwe kuna Moreki nokuti haufaniri kumhura zita raJehovha. Ndini Jehovha.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
“‘Usavata nomurume somurume anovata nomukadzi; zvinonyangadza.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
“‘Usasangana nemhuka uye ugozvisvibisa nayo. Mukadzi haafaniri kuzvipa kumhuka kuti asangane nayo; uku kunyangadza kukuru.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
“‘Musazvisvibisa neimwe yenzira idzi nokuti ndudzi dzandichadzinga pamberi penyu dzakazvisvibisa naizvozvo.
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Kunyange nyika yakasvibiswa; naizvozvo ndakairanga nokuda kwezvakaipa zvayo uye nyika yakarutsa vagari vayo.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among 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 have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled; )
nokuti zvinhu zvose izvi zvakaitwa navanhu vaigara munyika iyoyo musati mavamo, uye nyika ikasvibiswa.
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
Uye kana mukasvibisa nyika, ichakurutsirai kunze sokurutsa kwayakaita ndudzi dzaigaramo imi musati mavamo.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
“‘Ani naani anoita zvinonyangadza izvi, vanhu vakadaro vanofanira kubviswa kubva pavanhu vokwavo.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Yhwh your God.
Chengetai zvandakakurayirai uye musatevedzera kana imwe yetsika dzinonyangadza dzaiitwa musati mauya, uye musazvisvibisa nadzo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.’”
