Alawii 20
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Mũisiraeli o wothe kana mũgeni o wothe ũrĩa ũtũũraga bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũkaaheana ũmwe wa ciana ciake kũrĩ ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Moleku, no nginya akooragwo. Mũingĩ wothe nĩ ũkaamũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto.
You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.
3 Nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio, na nĩngamũingata kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao; tondũ wa kũheana ciana ciake kũrĩ Moleku, nĩathaahĩtie handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre na agathaahia rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru.
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
4 Mũingĩ ũcio wa andũ ũngĩkaaga kũherithia mũndũ ũcio ũheanĩte ũmwe wa ciana ciake kũrĩ Moleku, mage kũmũũraga-rĩ,
And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
5 nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio, hamwe na andũ a nyũmba yake, na ndĩmaingate kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao, we mwene na arĩa othe mamũrũmagĩrĩra na kũhũũra ũmaraya na Moleku.
then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
6 “‘Nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũrĩa ũtuĩragia maũndũ kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩ na maroho ma kũragũra na kuuma kũrĩ arogi, nĩguo ahũũre ũmaraya na ũndũ wa kũmarũmĩrĩra, na nĩngamũingata kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.
7 “‘Mwĩyamũrei mũtuĩke atheru tondũ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
8 Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa cia watho na mũcirũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, ũrĩa ũmũtheragia.
And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.
9 “‘Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩruma ithe kana arume nyina, no nginya ooragwo. Nĩarumĩte ithe kana akaruma nyina, na thakame yake nĩĩkamũcookerera.
Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
10 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩtharia na mũtumia wa mũndũ ũngĩ, atharie na mũtumia wa mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake, itharia icio cierĩ, mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na mũtumia, no nginya mooragwo.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũtumia wa ithe, nĩaconorithĩtie ithe. Mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na mũtumia ũcio eerĩ no nginya mooragwo; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
12 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũtumia wa mũriũ, eerĩ no nginya mooragwo. Ũndũ ũcio mekĩte nĩ waganu ũkĩrĩte njano; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
13 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũndũ mũrũme ũngĩ ta ũrĩa mũndũ akomaga na mũndũ-wa-nja-rĩ, andũ acio eerĩ nĩmekĩte ũndũ ũrĩ magigi. No nginya mooragwo; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
14 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩhikia mũndũ-wa-nja na ahikie nyina, ũcio nĩ waganu. Mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na andũ-a-nja acio eerĩ no nginya macinwo na mwaki, nĩgeetha gũtikanakorwo na waganu thĩinĩ wanyu.
Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.
15 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na nyamũ-rĩ, no nginya mũndũ ũcio ooragwo, na no nginya mũũrage nyamũ ĩyo.
And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.
16 “‘Mũndũ-wa-nja angĩĩtwarĩrĩra harĩ nyamũ nĩguo akome nayo-rĩ, nĩmũkooraga mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio hamwe na nyamũ ĩyo. No nginya mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ooragwo na nyamũ ĩyo yũragwo; thakame yake nĩĩkamũcookerera, na thakame ya nyamũ ĩyo ĩmĩcookerere.
And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.
17 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩhikia mwarĩ wa ithe, arĩ mwarĩ wa ithe kana wa nyina, na makomanie, icio nĩ njono. No nginya maingatwo mehere kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao. Nĩaconorithĩtie mwarĩ wa ithe. Na nĩagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio ekĩte.
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
18 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũndũ-wa-nja hĩndĩ yake ya mweri, nĩaguũria riurĩro rĩake, o nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agakĩguũria riurĩro rĩa thakame yake. Andũ acio eerĩ nĩmakaingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.
19 “‘Ndũkanakome na tataguo kana mwarĩ wa nyina na thoguo, nĩ ũndũ gwĩka ũguo nĩ gũconorithia mũndũ ũrĩa mũrĩ rũrĩra; inyuĩ eerĩ nĩmũgacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio mwĩkĩte.
And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 “‘Mũndũ angĩkoma na tatawe-rĩ, nĩaconorithĩtie mamawe. Nĩmagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio mekĩte; magaakua matarĩ magĩa mwana.
Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.
21 “‘Mũndũ angĩhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina ũcio nĩ thaahu, nĩaconorithĩtie mũrũ wa nyina. Megũtũũra matarĩ magĩa mwana.
Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.
22 “‘Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa ciothe cia watho, na mawatho makwa mũmarũmagĩrĩre, nĩguo mũtũũre bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩramũtwara, na nĩgeetha ndũkanamũtahĩke.
And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgments; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.
23 Mũtikanatũũre kũringana na mĩtugo ya ndũrĩrĩ iria ngũingata imweherere. Ndacimenire nĩ tondũ nĩciekire maũndũ macio mothe.
And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:
24 No niĩ ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkegwatĩra bũrũri wao; nĩngamũhe guo ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.” Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa wamwamũrire kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ.
and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.
25 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio no nginya mũkũũranage nyamũ iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu, na nyoni iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu. Mũtikanethaahie na nyamũ kana nyoni o na ĩrĩkũ, kana kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩthiiagĩra thĩ, iria ciothe ndaamũranirie tondũ irĩ thaahu harĩ inyuĩ.
And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
26 No nginya mũtuĩke atheru harĩ niĩ, tondũ niĩ, Jehova, ndĩ mũtheru, na nĩndĩmwamũranĩtie na ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ mũtuĩke akwa kĩũmbe.
And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.
27 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩ maroho marĩa maragũraga kana mũrogi thĩinĩ wanyu, no nginya makooragwo. Mũmahũũre na mahiga nyuguto. Thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.’”
And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
