Leviticus 20
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “And you say to the sons of Israel: Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who gives to the Molech from his seed, is certainly put to death; the people of the land stone him with stone;
“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 set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for he has given to the Molech from his seed, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to defile 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 really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving to the Molech from his seed, so as not to put him to death,
Ngati anthu a mʼderalo achita ngati sakumuona munthuyo pamene akupereka mwana wake kwa Moleki ndi kusamupha,
5 then I have set My face against that man and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going whoring after him, even going whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.
Ineyo ndidzamufulatira pamodzi ndi banja lake. Ndidzawachotsa pakati pa anthu anzawo onse amene anamutsatira, nadziyipitsa okha popembedza Moleki.”
6 And the person who turns to those having familiar spirits, and to the wizards, to go whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of 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 And you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] your God YHWH;
“‘Chifukwa chake dzipatuleni ndi kukhala woyera popeza Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
8 and you have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you.
Ndipo sungani malangizo anga ndi kuwatsata. Ine ndine Yehova amene ndimakuyeretsani.
9 For any man who reviles his father and his mother is certainly put to death; he has reviled his father and his mother: his blood [is] 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 a man who commits adultery with a man’s wife—who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor—the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.
“‘Ngati munthu wachita chigololo ndi mkazi wa mnzake, mwamunayo pamodzi ndi mkaziyo ayenera kuphedwa.
11 And a man who lies with his father’s wife—he has uncovered the nakedness of his father—both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] 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 a man who lies with his daughter-in-law—both of them are certainly put to death; they have done perversion; their blood [is] 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 And a man who lies with a male as one lies with a woman—both of them have done an abomination; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] 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 a man who takes the woman and her mother—it [is] wickedness; they burn him and them with fire, and there is no wickedness in your midst.
“‘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 a man who commits his intercourse with a beast is certainly put to death, and you slay the beast.
“‘Ngati mwamuna agonana ndi nyama, iye ayenera kuphedwa, ndipo muyeneranso kupha nyamayo.
16 And a woman who draws near to any beast to mate with it—you have even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] 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 a man who takes his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he has seen her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness—it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; he has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he bears 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 a man who lies with a sick woman and has uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he has made bare, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood—even both of them have been cut off from the midst of 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 do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister and your father’s sister, because his relation he has made bare; they 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 a man who lies with his aunt, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they bear their sin; they die childless.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi azakhali ake, munthuyo wachititsa manyazi a malume ake. Onse adzalipira mlandu wawo. Onsewo adzafa wopanda mwana.
21 And a man who takes his brother’s wife—it [is] impurity; he has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they are childless.
“‘Munthu akakwatira mkazi wa mchimwene wake ndiye kuti wachita chinthu chonyansa. Wachititsa manyazi mʼbale wakeyo. Onse awiriwo adzakhala wopanda mwana.
22 And you have kept all My statutes and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land does not vomit you out to where I am bringing you in to dwell in it;
“‘Nʼchifukwa chake muzisunga malangizo anga onse ndi malamulo anga ndipo muwatsatire kuti ku dziko limene Ine ndikupita nanu kuti mukakhalemo lisakakusanzeni.
23 and you do not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for they have done all these, and I am wearied with them.
Musatsanzire miyambo ya mitundu ya anthu imene ndi kuyipirikitsa inu mukufika. Chifukwa iwo anachita zinthu zonsezi, ndipo Ine ndinanyansidwa nawo.
24 And I say to you, You possess their ground, and I give it to you to possess it—a land flowing with milk and honey. I [am] your God YHWH, who has separated you 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 And you have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the pure, and you do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or by anything which creeps [on] the ground which I have separated to you for 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 have been holy to Me, for I, YHWH, [am] holy; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
Muzikhala woyera pamaso panga chifukwa Ine Yehova, ndine woyera ndipo ndakupatulani pakati pa anthu a mitundu yonse kuti mukhale anthu anga.
27 And a man or woman, when there is a familiar spirit in them, or who [are] wizards, are certainly put to death; they stone them with stone; their blood [is] 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.’”
