Alawii 20
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And YHWH speaks 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.
“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;
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 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.
4 Mũingĩ ũcio wa andũ ũngĩkaaga kũherithia mũndũ ũcio ũheanĩte ũmwe wa ciana ciake kũrĩ Moleku, mage kũmũũraga-rĩ,
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,
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 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.
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 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.
7 “‘Mwĩyamũrei mũtuĩke atheru tondũ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.
And you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] your God YHWH;
8 Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa cia watho na mũcirũmagĩrĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, ũrĩa ũmũtheragia.
and you have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you.
9 “‘Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩruma ithe kana arume nyina, no nginya ooragwo. Nĩarumĩte ithe kana akaruma nyina, na thakame yake nĩĩkamũcookerera.
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.
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.
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.
11 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũtumia wa ithe, nĩaconorithĩtie ithe. Mũndũ mũrũme ũcio na mũtumia ũcio eerĩ no nginya mooragwo; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
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.
12 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na mũtumia wa mũriũ, eerĩ no nginya mooragwo. Ũndũ ũcio mekĩte nĩ waganu ũkĩrĩte njano; thakame yao nĩĩkamacookerera.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
15 “‘Mũndũ mũrũme angĩkoma na nyamũ-rĩ, no nginya mũndũ ũcio ooragwo, na no nginya mũũrage nyamũ ĩyo.
And a man who commits his intercourse with a beast is certainly put to death, and you slay 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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
20 “‘Mũndũ angĩkoma na tatawe-rĩ, nĩaconorithĩtie mamawe. Nĩmagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio mekĩte; magaakua matarĩ magĩa mwana.
And a man who lies with his aunt, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they bear their sin; they die childless.
21 “‘Mũndũ angĩhikia mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina ũcio nĩ thaahu, nĩaconorithĩtie mũrũ wa nyina. Megũtũũra matarĩ magĩa mwana.
And a man who takes his brother’s wife—it [is] impurity; he has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they are childless.
22 “‘Rũmagiai irĩra ciakwa ciothe cia watho, na mawatho makwa mũmarũmagĩrĩre, nĩguo mũtũũre bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩramũtwara, na nĩgeetha ndũkanamũtahĩke.
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;
23 Mũtikanatũũre kũringana na mĩtugo ya ndũrĩrĩ iria ngũingata imweherere. Ndacimenire nĩ tondũ nĩciekire maũndũ macio mothe.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
26 No nginya mũtuĩke atheru harĩ niĩ, tondũ niĩ, Jehova, ndĩ mũtheru, na nĩndĩmwamũranĩtie na ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ mũtuĩke akwa kĩũmbe.
And you have been holy to Me, for I, YHWH, [am] holy; and I separate you from the peoples to become 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 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.”
