Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God.
“Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari, ‘Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
3 After the doings of the Land of Egypt, wherein ye have dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you, shall ye not do; and in their customs shall ye not walk.
Hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuIjipiti, kwamaigara uye hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuKenani, kwandiri kukuendesai. Musatevera zviito zvavo.
4 My ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.
Munofanira kutevera mitemo yangu uye mugochenjerera kuti mutevere mirayiro yangu. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
5 And ye shall keep my statutes, and my ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord.
Chengetai mirayiro nemitemo yangu nokuti munhu anoiteerera achararama nayo. Ndini Jehovha.
6 None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.
“‘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 the daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, —even the nakedness of any of these shalt thou 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 the nakedness of any of these, shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy 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 The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
“‘Usasangana nehanzvadzi yababa vako, ihama yababa vako yepedyo.
13 The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
“‘Usasangana nomukoma kana mununʼuna wamai vako nokuti ihama yamai vako yepedyo.
14 The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover: his wife shalt thou not approach, she is thy aunt.
“‘Usazvidza mununʼuna kana mukoma wababa vako nokuswedera kumukadzi wavo kuti uvate naye; nokuti ndimaiguru kana mainini.
15 The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomuroora wako, mukadzi womwanakomana wako; usasangana naye.
16 The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi womukoma kana mununʼuna wako; izvi zvingauyisa kuzvidzwa kwomukoma kana mununʼuna wako.
17 The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover: her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter shalt thou not take, to uncover her nakedness; for they are near kinswomen; it is incest.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi pamwe chete nomwanasikana wake. Usasangana nomwanasikana womwanakomana wake kana mwanasikana womwanasikana wake; ihama dzake dzepedyo. Zvakaipa izvozvo.
18 And a woman together with her sister shalt thou not take, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other, in her lifetime.
“‘Usatora mununʼuna womukadzi wako kuti ave mukadzinyina, varwisane, ugosangana naye mukadzi wako achiri mupenyu.
19 And a woman in the separation of her uncleanness shalt thou not approach, to uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usaswedera kumukadzi kuti usangane naye panguva yokusachena kwokuenda kumwedzi kwake.
20 And with thy neighbor's wife shalt thou not lie carnally, to defile thyself with her.
“‘Usasangana nomukadzi womuvakidzani wako ugozvisvibisa naye.
21 And any of thy seed shalt thou not let pass through [the fire] to Molech, and thou shalt not profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
“‘Usapa ani zvake pakati pavana vako kuti vabayirwe kuna Moreki nokuti haufaniri kumhura zita raJehovha. Ndini Jehovha.
22 And with a man shalt thou not lie, as with a woman: it is an abomination.
“‘Usavata nomurume somurume anovata nomukadzi; zvinonyangadza.
23 And with any beast shalt thou not lie 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 Do not defile yourselves through any of these things.; for through all these have become defiled the nations which I cast out before you:
“‘Musazvisvibisa neimwe yenzira idzi nokuti ndudzi dzandichadzinga pamberi penyu dzakazvisvibisa naizvozvo.
25 And the land became defiled; wherefore I have visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited out its inhabitants.
Kunyange nyika yakasvibiswa; naizvozvo ndakairanga nokuda kwezvakaipa zvayo uye nyika yakarutsa vagari vayo.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, and ye shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor the 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, who were before you, and the land hath become defiled; )
nokuti zvinhu zvose izvi zvakaitwa navanhu vaigara munyika iyoyo musati mavamo, uye nyika ikasvibiswa.
28 That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it hath vomited 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 my charge, so that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye do not defile yourselves therewith: I am the Lord your God.
Chengetai zvandakakurayirai uye musatevedzera kana imwe yetsika dzinonyangadza dzaiitwa musati mauya, uye musazvisvibisa nadzo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.’”
