Deuteronomy 22
1 You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again to your brother.
Kama ukimwona ngʼombe au kondoo wa ndugu yako anapotea, usipuuze, bali uhakikishe unamrudisha kwa mwenyewe.
2 If your brother isn’t near to you, or if you don’t know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother comes looking for it, and you shall restore it to him.
Ikiwa huyo ndugu haishi karibu nawe au kama hufahamu yeye ni nani, mchukue nyumbani kwako huyo mnyama umweke mpaka mwenyewe aje kumtafuta. Ndipo umrudishie.
3 So you shall do with his donkey. So you shall do with his garment. So you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found. You may not hide yourself.
Fanya vivyo hivyo ukimkuta punda wa nduguyo au joho lake au chochote alichopoteza. Usipuuze jambo hilo.
4 You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them up again.
Kama ukimwona punda wa nduguyo au ngʼombe wake ameanguka barabarani, usipuuze jambo hilo. Msaidie asimame kwa miguu yake.
5 A woman shall not wear men’s clothing, neither shall a man put on women’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
Haimpasi mwanamke kuvaa nguo za kiume wala mwanaume kuvaa nguo za kike, kwa maana Bwana Mungu wenu anachukia yeyote ambaye hufanya hivi.
6 If you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young.
Kama ukikuta kiota cha ndege kando ya barabara, iwe juu ya mti au chini, naye ndege amelala juu ya makinda au mayai, usimchukue huyo ndege pamoja na makinda yake.
7 You shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
Waweza kuchukua makinda, lakini uwe na hakika ya kumwacha huyo ndege, ili upate kufanikiwa na uweze kuishi maisha marefu.
8 When you build a new house, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.
Wakati unapojenga nyumba mpya, fanya ukuta wa kuzuia kandokando ya dari ili usijiletee hatia ya kumwaga damu juu ya nyumba yako ikiwa yeyote ataanguka kutoka humo.
9 You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
Usipande aina mbili za mbegu katika shamba lako la mizabibu; ikiwa utafanya hivyo, si mazao utakayopanda tu yatakuwa najisi, bali nayo matunda ya shamba la mizabibu pia.
10 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
Usilime kwa maksai aliyefungwa nira pamoja na punda.
11 You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
Usivae nguo za sufu na kitani zilizofumwa pamoja.
12 You shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.
Fanya vishada kwenye pembe nne za joho unalovaa.
13 If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, hates her,
Ikiwa mtu atamwoa mke na, baada ya kufanya naye tendo la ndoa, akamchukia,
14 accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;”
akimsingizia na kumwita jina baya, akisema, “Nilimwoa mwanamke huyu, lakini nilipomkaribia sikupata uthibitisho wa ubikira wake”
15 then the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
ndipo baba na mama wa msichana wataleta uthibitisho kwamba alikuwa bikira kwa wazee wa mji kwenye lango.
16 The young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates her.
Baba wa msichana atawaambia wazee, “Nilimwoza binti yangu kwa huyu mwanaume, lakini hampendi.
17 Behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
Sasa amemsingizia na kusema, ‘Sikumkuta huyu binti akiwa bikira.’ Lakini hapa kuna uthibitisho wa ubikira wa binti yangu.” Kisha wazazi wake wataonyesha nguo zake kwa wazee wa mji,
18 The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.
nao wazee watamchukua huyo mwanaume na kumwadhibu.
19 They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
Watamtoza shekeli mia moja za fedha na kupewa wazazi wa msichana, kwa sababu mwanaume huyu amempa bikira wa Kiisraeli jina baya. Ataendelea kuwa mke wake; kamwe hawezi kumpa talaka siku zote za maisha yake.
20 But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady,
Hata hivyo, kama shtaka ni la kweli na hakuna uthibitisho juu ya ubikira wa huyo msichana ulioweza kupatikana,
21 then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
huyo msichana ataletwa kwenye mlango wa nyumba ya baba yake, na hapo watu wa mji wake watampiga kwa mawe hadi afe. Amefanya kitu cha aibu katika Israeli kwa kufanya ukahaba akiwa nyumbani kwa babaye. Lazima mwondoe uovu katikati yenu.
22 If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.
Ikiwa mwanaume atakutwa akizini na mke wa mtu mwingine, wote wawili, mwanaume na mwanamke aliyezini naye, lazima wauawe. Lazima mwondoe uovu katika Israeli.
23 If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,
Ikiwa mwanaume atakutana na bikira mjini ambaye ameposwa na mtu akazini naye,
24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
utawachukua wote wawili kwenye lango la mji na kuwapiga kwa mawe mpaka wafe; yule msichana kwa kuwa alikuwa mjini na hakupiga kelele kuomba msaada, na yule mwanaume kwa sababu amemtenda jeuri mke wa mtu mwingine. Lazima mwondoe uovu katikati yenu.
25 But if the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die;
Lakini ikiwa itatokea mwanaume akakutana na msichana aliyeposwa huko mashambani, akambaka, mwanaume aliyefanya hivi peke yake ndiye atakayeuawa.
26 but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter;
Usimtendee msichana yule jambo lolote; hajafanya dhambi inayostahili kifo. Shauri hili ni kama lile la yeyote ambaye anamshambulia na kumuua kwa makusudi jirani yake,
27 for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.
kwa maana mwanaume huyo alimkuta msichana huko mashambani, na ingawa msichana aliyeposwa alipiga kelele, hapakuwa na mtu wa kumwokoa.
28 If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found,
Ikiwa itatokea mwanaume akutane na bikira ambaye hajaposwa na kumbaka nao wakakutwa,
29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
mwanaume atamlipa baba wa msichana shekeli hamsini za fedha. Ni lazima amwoe huyo msichana, kwa maana amemfanyia jeuri. Kamwe hawezi kumpa talaka siku zote za maisha yake.
30 A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
Mwanaume asimwoe mke wa baba yake; kamwe asidhalilishe kitanda cha baba yake.
