Revhitiko 18
1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari, ‘Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
3 Hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuIjipiti, kwamaigara uye hamufaniri kuita sezvavanoita kuKenani, kwandiri kukuendesai. Musatevera zviito zvavo.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein all of you dwelt, shall all of you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall all of you not do: neither shall all of you walk in their ordinances.
4 Munofanira kutevera mitemo yangu uye mugochenjerera kuti mutevere mirayiro yangu. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
All of you shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5 Chengetai mirayiro nemitemo yangu nokuti munhu anoiteerera achararama nayo. Ndini Jehovha.
All of you shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 “‘Hapana anofanira kuswedera kuhama yepedyo kuti avate naye. Ndini Jehovha.
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 “‘Usazvidza baba vako nokusangana namai vako. Ndimai vako usasangana navo.
The nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, shall you not uncover: she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 “‘Usasangana nomukadzi wababa vako, izvi zvingazvidza baba vako.
The nakedness of your father's wife shall you not uncover: it is your father's nakedness.

The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10 “‘Usasangana nomwanasikana womwanakomana wako kana mwanasikana womwanasikana wako; izvi zvingauyisa kuzvidzwa kwauri.
The nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness you shall not uncover: for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 “‘Usasangana nomwanasikana womukadzi wababa vako akaberekwa nababa vako, ihanzvadzi yako.
The nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten of your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 “‘Usasangana nehanzvadzi yababa vako, ihama yababa vako yepedyo.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's near kinswoman.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's near kinswoman.
14 “‘Usazvidza mununʼuna kana mukoma wababa vako nokuswedera kumukadzi wavo kuti uvate naye; nokuti ndimaiguru kana mainini.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach to his wife: she is your aunt.
15 “‘Usasangana nomuroora wako, mukadzi womwanakomana wako; usasangana naye.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law: she is your son's wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 “‘Usasangana nomukadzi womukoma kana mununʼuna wako; izvi zvingauyisa kuzvidzwa kwomukoma kana mununʼuna wako.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shall you take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 “‘Usatora mununʼuna womukadzi wako kuti ave mukadzinyina, varwisane, ugosangana naye mukadzi wako achiri mupenyu.
Neither shall you take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 “‘Usaswedera kumukadzi kuti usangane naye panguva yokusachena kwokuenda kumwedzi kwake.
Also you shall not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 “‘Usasangana nomukadzi womuvakidzani wako ugozvisvibisa naye.
Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbour's wife, to defile yourself with her.

And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
22 “‘Usavata nomurume somurume anovata nomukadzi; zvinonyangadza.
You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 “‘Usasangana nemhuka uye ugozvisvibisa nayo. Mukadzi haafaniri kuzvipa kumhuka kuti asangane nayo; uku kunyangadza kukuru.
Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 “‘Musazvisvibisa neimwe yenzira idzi nokuti ndudzi dzandichadzinga pamberi penyu dzakazvisvibisa naizvozvo.
Defile not all of you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 Kunyange nyika yakasvibiswa; naizvozvo ndakairanga nokuda kwezvakaipa zvayo uye nyika yakarutsa vagari vayo.
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants.
26 Asi imi munofanira kuchengeta mirayiro yangu nemitemo yangu. Zvizvarwa zvenyu navatorwa vagere pakati penyu havafaniri kuita kana chimwe chezvinhu zvinonyangadza izvi,
All of you shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourns among you:
27 nokuti zvinhu zvose izvi zvakaitwa navanhu vaigara munyika iyoyo musati mavamo, uye nyika ikasvibiswa.
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled; )
28 Uye kana mukasvibisa nyika, ichakurutsirai kunze sokurutsa kwayakaita ndudzi dzaigaramo imi musati mavamo.
That the land spew not you out also, when all of you defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.
29 “‘Ani naani anoita zvinonyangadza izvi, vanhu vakadaro vanofanira kubviswa kubva pavanhu vokwavo.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Chengetai zvandakakurayirai uye musatevedzera kana imwe yetsika dzinonyangadza dzaiitwa musati mauya, uye musazvisvibisa nadzo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.’”
Therefore shall all of you keep mine ordinance, that all of you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that all of you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
