Leviticus 20
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do stone him with stones;
“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 — I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute 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 of his seed to the Molech, 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 a-whoring after him, even going a-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 turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-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 ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] Jehovah your God;
“‘Chifukwa chake dzipatuleni ndi kukhala woyera popeza Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
8 and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying you.
Ndipo sungani malangizo anga ndi kuwatsata. Ine ndine Yehova amene ndimakuyeretsani.
9 'For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: 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 committeth adultery with a man's wife — who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour — 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 lieth with his father's wife — the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered — 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 lieth with his daughter-in-law — both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; 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 lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; 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 taketh the woman and her mother — it [is] wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, 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 giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.
“‘Ngati mwamuna agonana ndi nyama, iye ayenera kuphedwa, ndipo muyeneranso kupha nyamayo.
16 'And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it — thou hast 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 taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.
“‘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 lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath 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 the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.
“‘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 lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.
“‘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 taketh his brother's wife — it [is] impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.
“‘Munthu akakwatira mkazi wa mchimwene wake ndiye kuti wachita chinthu chonyansa. Wachititsa manyazi mʼbale wakeyo. Onse awiriwo adzakhala wopanda mwana.
22 'And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither 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 ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, 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, Ye — ye do possess their ground, and I — I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath 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 ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth [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 ye have been holy to Me; for holy [am] I, Jehovah; 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 in them a familiar spirit, or who [are] wizards — are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; 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.’”
