ULevi 20
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 Tshono futhi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Ngulowo lalowo wabantwana bakoIsrayeli, loba owabezizweni abahlala njengabezizwe koIsrayeli, onikela okwenzalo yakhe kuMoleki, uzabulawa lokubulawa, abantu belizwe bazamkhanda ngamatshe.
Thou shalt say also to the children of Israel, Whosoeuer he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that dwell in Israel, that giueth his children vnto Molech, he shall die the death, ye people of ye land shall stone him to death.
3 Mina-ke ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lalowomuntu, ngimqume asuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo, ngoba enikele okwenzalo yakhe kuMoleki, ukuze angcolise indlu yami engcwele, eyise ibizo lami elingcwele.
And I will set my face against that man and cut him off from among his people, because he hath giuen his children vnto Molech, for to defile my Sanctuarie, and to pollute mine holy Name.
4 Uba-ke abantu belizwe befihla lokufihla amehlo abo kulowomuntu nxa enikela okwenzalo yakhe kuMoleki, ukuze bangambulali,
And if the people of the lande hide their eyes, and winke at that man when he giueth his children vnto Molech, and kill him not,
5 mina ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lalowomuntu njalo bumelane losapho lwakhe, ngimqume labo bonke abaphinga emva kwakhe, ukuthi baphinge belandela uMoleki, basuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
Then will I set my face against that man, and against his familie, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him to comit whoredome with Molech, from among their people.
6 Umphefumulo, ophendukela-ke kulabo abalamadlozi lakwabalumbayo ukuphinga ubalandela, ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lalowomphefumulo, ngiwuqume usuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
If any turne after such as worke with spirits, and after soothsayers, to go a whoring after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Ngakho zingcweliseni libe ngcwele, ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
Sanctifie your selues therefore, and be holie, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Njalo gcinani izimiso zami, lizenze. NgiyiNkosi elingcwelisayo.
Keepe ye therefore mine ordinances, and doe them. I am the Lord which doeth sanctifie you.
9 Ngoba ngulowo lalowo othuka uyise kumbe unina uzabulawa lokubulawa; uthukile uyise kumbe unina; igazi lakhe liphezu kwakhe.
If there be any that curseth his father or his mother, he shall die the death: seeing hee hath cursed his father and his mother, his blood shalbe vpon him.
10 Lendoda efeba lomfazi womuntu, efeba lomkamakhelwane wayo, izabulawa lokubulawa, isifebe lesifebekazi.
And the man that committeth adulterie with another mans wife, because he hath comitted adulterie with his neighbours wife, the adulterer and the adulteresse shall die the death.
11 Lendoda elala lomkayise yembule ubunqunu bukayise; bobabili bazabulawa lokubulawa; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
And the man that lyeth with his fathers wife, because hee hath vncouered his fathers shame, they shall both dye: their blood shalbe vpon them.
12 Lendoda elala lomalokazana wayo, bobabili bazabulawa lokubulawa; benze ingxube; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
Also the man that lyeth with his daughter in lawe, they both shall dye the death, they haue wrought abomination, their blood shalbe vpon them.
13 Lendoda elala lowesilisa njengokulala lowesifazana, bobabili benze isinengiso; bazabulawa lokubulawa; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
The man also that lyeth with the male, as one lyeth with a woman, they haue both committed abomination: they shall dye the death, their blood shalbe vpon them.
14 Lendoda ethatha umfazi kanye lonina, kuyinkohlakalo. Bazatshiswa ngomlilo, yena labo, ukuze kungabi khona inkohlakalo phakathi kwenu.
Likewise he that taketh a wife and her mother, committeth wickednesse: they shall burne him and them with fire, that there be no wickednes among you.
15 Lendoda elala lenyamazana, izabulawa lokubulawa, futhi lizayibulala inyamazana.
Also the man that lyeth with a beast, shall dye the death, and ye shall slay the beast.
16 Lowesifazana osondela lakuyiphi inyamazana ukulala layo, uzabulala owesifazana lenyamazana; bazabulawa lokubulawa; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
And if a woman come to any beast, and lye therewith, then thou shalt kill the woman and the beast: they shall die the death, their blood shalbe vpon them.
17 Lendoda ethatha udadewabo, indodakazi kayise loba indodakazi kanina, ibone ubunqunu bakhe, laye abone ubunqunu bayo, kulihlazo; njalo bazaqunywa emehlweni abantwana babantu bakibo; yembule ubunqunu bukadadewabo; izathwala ububi bayo.
Also the man that taketh his sister, his fathers daughter, or his mothers daughter, and seeth her shame and she seeth his shame, it is villenie: therefore they shall be cut off in the sight of their people, because he hath vncouered his sisters shame, he shall beare his iniquitie.
18 Lendoda elala lowesifazana ogulayo, yembule ubunqunu bakhe, inqunule umthombo wakhe, laye wembule umthombo wegazi lakhe, bobabili bazaqunywa basuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
The man also that lyeth with a woman hauing her disease, and vncouereth her shame, and openeth her fountaine, and she open the foutaine of her blood, they shall bee euen both cut off from among their people.
19 Njalo ungembuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko, loba obukadadewabo kayihlo; ngoba wembule isihlobo sakhe; bazathwala ububi babo.
Moreouer thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy mothers sister, nor of thy fathers sister: because he hath vncouered his kin, they shall beare their iniquitie.
20 Lendoda elala lomkamfowabo kayise, yembule ubunqunu bomfowabo kayise; bazathwala isono sabo; bafe bengelabantwana.
Likewise the man that lyeth with his fathers brothers wife, and vncouereth his vncles shame: they shall beare their iniquitie, and shall die childlesse.
21 Lendoda ethatha umkamfowabo, kuyikungcola; yembule ubunqunu bukamfowabo; bazakuba ngabangelabantwana.
So the man that taketh his brothers wife, committeth filthines, because he hath vncouered his brothers shame: they shalbe childles.
22 Ngakho gcinani zonke izimiso zami lezahlulelo zonke zami, lizenze, ukuze ilizwe engililetha kulo ukuhlala kulo lingalihlanzi.
Ye shall keepe therefore all mine ordinances and all my iudgements, and doe them, that the land, whither I bring you to dwel therein, spue you not out.
23 Njalo lingahambi ngezimiso zesizwe engisixotshayo phambi kwenu; ngoba benze zonke lezizinto; ngakho nganengwa yibo.
Wherefore ye shall not walke in the maners of this nation which I cast out before you: for they haue committed all these things, therefore I abhorred them.
24 Kodwa ngathi kini: Lizakudla ilifa lelizwe labo; mina ngizalinika ukuthi lidle ilifa lalo, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, olehlukanise labezizwe.
But I haue saide vnto you, ye shall inherite their land, and I will giue it vnto you to possesse it, euen a land that floweth with milke and honie: I am the Lord your God, which haue separated you from other people.
25 Ngakho yehlukanisani phakathi kwenyamazana ezihlambulukileyo lezingahlambulukanga, laphakathi kwezinyoni ezingahlambulukanga lezihlambulukileyo; lingenzi imiphefumulo yenu inengeke ngezinyamazana loba ngezinyoni loba ngakuphi okuhuquzelayo emhlabathini, engikwehlukanise lani njengokungcolileyo.
Therefore shall ye put difference betweene cleane beastes and vncleane, and betweene vncleane foules and cleane: neither shall ye defile your selues with beastes and foules, nor with any creeping thing, that ye ground bringeth forth, which I haue separated from you as vncleane.
26 Njalo lizakuba ngcwele kimi, ngoba mina Nkosi ngingcwele; ngilehlukanisile labezizwe ukuze libe ngabami.
Therefore shall ye be holie vnto me: for I the Lord am holy, and I haue separated you from other people, that ye shoulde be mine.
27 Njalo owesilisa loba owesifazana, abalamadlozi loba abalumbayo, bazabulawa lokubulawa, bazabakhanda ngamatshe; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
And if a man or woman haue a spirite of diuination, or soothsaying in them, they shall die the death: they shall stone them to death, their blood shalbe vpon them.
