Leviticus 19
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema.
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be 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 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: 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 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves 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 if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
Unapotoa dhabihu za sadaka ya ushirika kwa Yahweh, utatoa ili kupata kibali.
6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
Ni sharti iliwe siku hiyo hiyo uliyoitoa, au siku inayofuata.
7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; 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 [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among 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 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
Unapovuna mavuno ya ardhi yako, usivune hata pembezo mwa shamba lako kabisa, wala hutakusanya mabaki ya mavuno yako yote.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: 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 steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
Usiibe. Usiseme uongo. Msidanganyane.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane 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 defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him: ] the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
Usimgandamize jirani yako wala kumwibia. Usishikilie malipo ya kibarua usiku kucha hata asubuhi.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
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 go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou 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: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
Usimchukie ndugu yako moyoni mwako. Mkemee jirani yako kwa heshima ili kwamba usishiriki katika dhambi kwa sababu yake.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: 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 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon 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 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that [is] a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not 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 his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering.
Ni lazima mtu huyo alete sadaka yake ya hatia kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania—kondoo dume iwe sadaka ya hatia.
22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
Kisha kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa huyo kandoo dume mbele za Yahweh kutokana na dhambi aliyoitenda. Nayo dhambi iliyotendwa itasamehewa.
23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
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 year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD [withal].
Lakini katika mwaka wa nne matunda yote yatakuwa matakatiifu, matoleo ya sifa kwa Yahweh.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase 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 [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
Usile nyama yoyote amabayo damu ingalimo ndani yake. Usiulize kwa roho juu ya wakati ujao,
27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
Usitafute kuwadhibiti wengine kwa njia ya nguvu za kichawi. Msifuate tabia za kipagani kama vile kunyoa denge au kunyoa pembe za ndevu zeu.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.
Usiukate mwili wako kwa ajili ya wafu au kuchanja chale juu ya mwili wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
Usimwaibishe binti yako kwa kumfanya kahaba, la sivyo taifa litaangukia kwenye ukahaba na nchi itajawa na uovu.
30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.
Utazitunza Sabato zangu na kupaheshimu mahali patakatifu pa hema langu la kukutania. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.
Msiwageukie wale wanaoongea na wafu au roho wachafu. msiwatafute, la sivyo watawanajisi ninyi, Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
Ni lazima usimame mbele za mtu mwenye mvi na uheshimu uwepo wa mzee. Yakupasa umwegope Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
Mgeni anapoishi miongoni mwenu katika nchi yanu, usimtendee lolote lililobaya.
34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
Unapopima urefu, uzito, au wingi usitumie vipimo vya udanganyifu.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land 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 observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.
Utayatii maagizo yangu na sheria zangu zote na kuzitenda. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
