Leviticus 20
1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Speke thou these thingis to the sones of Israel, If eny man of the sones of Israel, and of the comelyngis that dwellen in Israel, yyueth of his seed to the ydol Moloch, die he bi deeth; the puple of the lond schal stone him.
“Sema na wana wa Israeli: ‘Mwisraeli yeyote au mgeni anayeishi katika Israeli ambaye atamtoa yeyote miongoni mwa watoto wake kuwa sadaka kwa mungu Moleki, mtu huyo lazima auawe. Watu wa jumuiya hiyo watampiga kwa mawe.
3 And Y schal sette faste my face ayens hym, and Y schal kitte awei him fro the myddis of my puple, for he yaf of his seed to Moloch, and defoulide my seyntuarie, and defoulide myn hooli name.
Mimi nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo, nami nitamkatilia mbali na watu wake. Kwa maana kwa kumtoa mmoja wa watoto wake kwa mungu Moleki, amenajisi madhabahu yangu na kulinajisi Jina langu takatifu.
4 That if the puple of the lond is necgligent, and as litil chargynge myn heeste, and suffrith the man that yaf of his seed to Moloch, nether wole sle hym, Y schal sette my face on that man,
Ikiwa watu wa jumuiya watafumba macho wakati mtu huyo anapomtoa mmoja wa watoto wake kwa mungu Moleki, nao wakaacha kumuua,
5 and his kynrede, and Y schal kitte doun hym, and alle that consentiden to him, that thei schulden do fornycacioun with Moloch, fro the myddis of her puple.
mimi nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo pamoja na jamaa yake, nami nitawakatilia mbali yeye na watu wote waliofanya ukahaba na Moleki.
6 If a man bowith to astronomyers, and false dyuynours, and doith fornycacioun with hem, Y schal sette my face ayens hym, and Y schal sle hym fro the mydis of hys puple.
“‘Mimi nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu anayeenda kwa waaguzi na wenye pepo, na hivyo kujifanyia ukahaba kwa kuwafuata, nami nitamkatilia mbali na watu wake.
7 Be ye halewid, and be ye hooli, for Y am hooli, youre Lord God.
“‘Jitakaseni basi, nanyi kuweni watakatifu, kwa sababu mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
8 Kepe ye myn heestis, and do ye tho, for Y am the Lord that halewe you.
Shikeni amri zangu na kuzifuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana, niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu.
9 He that cursith his fadir, ether modir, die bi deeth; if a man cursith fadir and modir, his blood be on hym.
“‘Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamlaani baba yake au mama yake, lazima auawe. Amemlaani baba yake au mama yake, nayo damu yake itakuwa juu ya kichwa chake mwenyewe.
10 If a man doith leccherie with `the wijf of another man, and doith auowtrie with `the wijf of his neiybore, bothe auowter and auowtresse die bi deeth.
“‘Ikiwa mtu atazini na mke wa mtu mwingine, yaani mke wa jirani yake, wazinzi hao wawili lazima wauawe.
11 If a man slepith with hys stepdamme, and schewith `the schenschip of his fadir, bothe die bi deeth; her blood be on hem.
“‘Kama mtu atakutana kimwili na mke wa baba yake, hakumheshimu baba yake. Mwanaume huyo na mwanamke huyo wote wauawe; damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
12 If ony man slepith with `his sones wijf, euer either die, for thei han wrouyt greet synne; her blood be on hem.
“‘Ikiwa mtu atakutana kimwili na mke wa mwanawe, lazima wote wawili wauawe. Walichokifanya ni upotovu; damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
13 If a man slepith with a man, bi letcherie of a womman, euer either hath wrouyt vnleueful thing, die thei bi deeth; her blood be on hem.
“‘Kama mwanaume akikutana kimwili na mwanaume mwenzake kama vile mwanaume afanyavyo na mwanamke, wanaume hao wawili wamefanya lililo chukizo sana. Lazima wauawe; nayo damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
14 He that weddith ouer his wijf hir moder, hath wrouyt greet synne; he schal be brent quyk with hem, and so greet vnleueful doynge schal not dwelle in the myddis of you.
“‘Ikiwa mwanaume ataoa binti pamoja na mama yake, huo ni uovu. Wote watatu ni lazima wachomwe moto, ili kwamba pasiwepo na uovu katikati yenu.
15 He that doith letcherie with a greet beeste, ethir a litil beeste die bi deeth, also sle ye the beeste.
“‘Kama mwanaume akikutana kimwili na mnyama, ni lazima auawe, na pia ni lazima mnyama huyo auawe.
16 A womman that liggith vndur ony beeste, be slayn togidere with it; the blood `of hem be on hem.
“‘Kama mwanamke atamsogelea mnyama kukutana naye kimwili, muueni mwanamke huyo pamoja na mnyama pia. Lazima wauawe; damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
17 He that takith his sistir `the douytir of his fadir, ether the douyter of his modir, and seeth hir filthe, and sche seeth the schenschip of the brothir, thei han wrouyt an vnleueful thing, bothe schulen be slayn in the siyt of her puple; for thei schewiden togidere her filthe, and thei schulen bere her wickidnesse.
“‘Ikiwa mtu anamwoa dada yake, binti aliyezaliwa na baba yake au mama yake, nao wakakutana kimwili, ni aibu. Lazima wakatiliwe mbali machoni pa watu wao. Huyo mwanaume amemwaibisha dada yake, hivyo atawajibika kwa ajili ya uovu huo.
18 If a man doith fleischly knowyng with a womman in the flux of monethe, and schewith hir filthe, and sche openeth the welle of hir blood, bothe schulen be slayn fro the myddis of her puple.
“‘Ikiwa mwanaume atalala na mwanamke aliye katika hedhi yake na kukutana naye kimwili, amefunua mtiririko wa hedhi yake, naye huyo mwanamke amejifunua uchi wake. Wote wawili lazima wakatiliwe mbali na watu wao.
19 Thou schalt not diskyuere the filthe of thi modris sistir, and of thi fadris sistir; he, that doith this, schal `make nakid the schenschip of his fleisch, and bothe schulen bere her wickidnesse.
“‘Usikutane kimwili na dada wa mama yako wala wa baba yako, kwa maana hilo litamwaibisha jamaa wa karibu; ninyi wawili mtawajibika kwa ajili ya uovu huo.
20 He that doith fleischli knowyng with the wijf of `his fadris brother, ether of his modris brother, and schewith the filthe of his kyn, bothe schulen bere her synne, thei schulen die without fre children.
“‘Ikiwa mwanaume atakutana kimwili na shangazi yake, amemwaibisha mjomba wake. Nao watawajibika kwa ajili ya uovu huo; watakufa bila kuzaa mtoto.
21 He that weddith `the wijf of his brother, doith an vnleueful thing; he schewide `the filthe of his brother, he schal be without fre children.
“‘Ikiwa mwanaume ataoa mke wa ndugu yake, hili ni tendo chafu; amemwaibisha ndugu yake. Nao hawatazaa mtoto.
22 Kepe ye my lawis and my domes, and do ye tho, lest the lond, in to which ye schulen entre and dwelle, caste out viliche also you.
“‘Zishikeni amri na sheria zangu zote na kuzifuata, ili nchi ninayowaleta kuishi isiwatapike.
23 Nyle ye go in the lawful thingis of naciouns, whiche Y schal caste out bifor you, for thei diden alle these thingis, and Y hadde abhomynacioun of hem.
Kamwe msiishi kwa kufuata desturi za mataifa nitakayoyafukuza mbele yenu. Kwa sababu walifanya mambo haya yote, nami nikachukizwa sana nao.
24 Forsothe Y speke to you, Welde ye `the lond of hem, which Y schal yyue to you in to eritage, the lond flowynge with mylk and hony; Y am youre Lord God, that departide you fro othere puplis.
Lakini niliwaambia ninyi, “Mtaimiliki nchi yao; nitawapa ninyi kuwa urithi, nchi inayotiririka maziwa na asali.” Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, ambaye amewatenga kutoka mataifa.
25 Therfor also ye departe a cleene beeste fro vnclene, and a cleene brid fro vncleene, lest ye defoule youre soulis in a beeste, and in briddis, and in alle thingis that ben moued in erthe, and whiche thingis Y schewide to you to be defoulid.
“‘Kwa hiyo, ninyi lazima mweze kutofautisha kati ya wanyama walio safi na wasio safi, pia kati ya ndege wasio safi na walio safi. Msijitie unajisi kutokana na mnyama yeyote, au ndege, wala kitu chochote kitambaacho juu ya ardhi, vile ambavyo nimevitenga kuwa najisi kwa ajili yenu.
26 Ye schulen be hooli to me, for `Y am the hooli Lord, and Y departide you fro othere puplis, that ye schulen be myne.
Mtakuwa watakatifu kwangu, kwa sababu Mimi, Bwana, ni mtakatifu, nami nimewatenga kutoka mataifa kuwa wangu mwenyewe.
27 A man ethir a womman, in which is an vncleene spirit spekynge in the `wombe, ethir `a spirit of fals dyuynyng, die thei bi deeth; men schulen oppresse hem bi stoonus; her blood be on hem.
“‘Mwanaume au mwanamke ambaye ni mchawi, mwaguzi au mwenye kupunga pepo miongoni mwenu lazima auawe. Mtawapiga kwa mawe; nayo damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.’”
