Torati 17
1 Msimtolee Bwana Mungu wenu dhabihu ya maksai au kondoo ambaye ana dosari yoyote au hitilafu ndani yake, kwa kuwa hilo litakuwa chukizo kwake.
Thou schalt not offre to thi Lord God an oxe and a scheep in which is a wem, ether ony thing of vice, for it is abhominacioun to thi Lord God.
2 Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke anayeishi kati ya mojawapo ya miji akupayo Bwana, anakutwa anafanya uovu mbele za Bwana Mungu wenu, kwa kuvunja Agano lake,
And whanne a man ether a womman, that doon yuel in the siyte of thi Lord God, ben foundun at thee, with ynne oon of thi yatis whiche thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, and thei breken the couenaunt of God,
3 naye amekwenda kinyume na agizo langu kuabudu miungu mingine na kuisujudia, kama vile jua, mwezi au nyota za angani,
that thei go and serue alien goddis, and worschipe hem, the sunne, and moone, and al the knyythod of heuene, whiche thingis Y comaundide not;
4 hili likiwa limeletwa mbele yenu, ni lazima kulichunguza kikamilifu. Ikiwa ni kweli na kuwa limehakikishwa kwamba hili ni chukizo lililofanyika katika Israeli,
and this is teld to thee, and thou herist, and `enquerist diligentli, and fyndist that it is soth, and abhomynacioun is doon in Israel;
5 mchukueni huyo mwanaume au mwanamke ambaye amelifanya tendo hili ovu kwenye lango la mji wenu na kumpiga mawe mtu huyo mpaka afe.
thou schalt lede out the man and the womman, that diden a moost cursid thing, to the yatis of thy citee, and thei schulen be oppressid with stoonus.
6 Kwa ushuhuda wa mashahidi wawili au watatu mtu huyo atauawa, bali hakuna mtu atakayeuawa kwa ushuhuda wa shahidi mmoja tu.
He that schal be slayn, schal perische in the mouth of tweyne, ethir of thre witnessis; no man be slayn, for o man seith witnessyng ayens hym.
7 Ni lazima kwanza mikono ya mashahidi itangulie kumuua huyo mtu, kisha mikono ya watu wote. Ni lazima mwondoe uovu miongoni mwenu.
The hond of witnessis schal first sle hym, and the last hond of the tothir puple schal be sent, that thou do awei yuel fro the myddis of thee.
8 Kama mashauri yanaletwa katika mahakama zenu ambayo ni magumu zaidi kwenu kuyaamua, ikiwa ni umwagaji wa damu, madai au mashambulio, yapelekeni mahali ambapo Bwana Mungu wenu atapachagua.
If thou perseyuest, that hard and douteful doom is at thee, bitwixe blood and blood, cause and cause, lepre and not lepre, and thou seest that the wordis of iugis with ynne thi yatis ben dyuerse; rise thou, and stie to the place which thi Lord God hath choose;
9 Nendeni kwa makuhani, ambao ni Walawi, na kwa mwamuzi ambaye atakuwa kazini wakati huo. Ulizeni kwao nao watawapa maamuzi.
and thou schalt come to the preestis of the kyn of Leuy, and to the iuge which is in that tyme, and thou schalt axe of hem, whiche schulen schewe to thee the treuthe of doom.
10 Ni lazima mtende sawasawa na maamuzi watakayowapa mahali Bwana atakapopachagua. Kuweni waangalifu kufanya kila kitu watakachowaongoza kufanya.
And thou schalt do, what euer thing thei seien, that ben souereyns in the place which the Lord chees, and techen thee bi the lawe of the Lord;
11 Fanyeni sawasawa na sheria wanayowafundisha na maamuzi wanayowapa. Msigeuke mkono wa kuume au kushoto kuacha kufanya yale wanayowaambia.
thou schalt sue the sentence of hem; thou schalt not bowe to the riyt side, ether to the lefte.
12 Mwanaume atakayeonyesha dharau kwa mwamuzi au kwa kuhani ambaye amewekwa kumtumikia Bwana Mungu wenu lazima auawe. Lazima mwondoe uovu katika Israeli.
Forsothe that man schal die, which is proud, and nyle obeie to the comaundement of the preest, `that mynystrith in that tyme to thi Lord God, and to the sentence of iuge, and thou schalt do awei yuel fro the myddis of Israel;
13 Watu wote watasikia na kuogopa, nao hawatakuwa wenye kudharau tena.
and al the puple schal here, and drede, that no man fro thennus forth bolne with pride.
14 Wakati utakapoingia katika nchi anayowapa Bwana Mungu wenu kuimiliki na kukaa humo, nanyi mkasema, “Na tumweke mfalme juu yetu kama mataifa yanayotuzunguka,”
Whanne thou hast entrid in to the lond, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, and weldist it, and dwellist therynne, and seist, Y schal ordeyne a kyng on me, as alle naciouns `bi cumpas han;
15 kuweni na uhakika wa kumweka mfalme juu yenu ambaye Bwana Mungu wenu atamchagua. Ni lazima atoke miongoni mwa ndugu zenu wenyewe. Msimweke mgeni juu yenu ambaye si ndugu wa Kiisraeli.
thou schalt ordeyne hym, whom thi Lord God chesith of the noumbre of thi brethren. Thou schalt not mow make king a man of anothir folk, which man is not thi brother.
16 Hata hivyo, kamwe mfalme asijipatie hesabu kubwa ya farasi kwa ajili yake mwenyewe, au kuwafanya watu warudi Misri ili kupata farasi zaidi, kwa maana Bwana amekuambia, “Hamtairudia njia ile tena.”
And whanne the king is ordeyned, he schal not multiplie horsis to hym, nethir he schal lede ayen the puple in to Egipt, nethir he schal be reisid bi the noumbre of knyytis, moost sithen the Lord comaundide to you, that ye turne no more ayen bi the same weie.
17 Kamwe asioe wake wengi, la sivyo moyo wake utapotoka. Kamwe asijilimbikizie kiasi kikubwa cha fedha na dhahabu.
The kyng schal not haue ful many wyues, that drawen his soule `to ouer myche fleischlynesse, nether `he schal haue grete burthuns of siluer and of gold.
18 Atakapokuwa amekalia kiti cha ufalme wake, ajiandikie kwenye kitabu nakala ya sheria kwa ajili yake mwenyewe kutoka zile sheria za makuhani ambao ni Walawi.
Forsothe after that he hath sete in the trone of his rewme, he schal write to himsilf the deuteronomy of this lawe in a `volym ether book, and he schal take `a saumpler at preestis of `the kyn of Leuy;
19 Atakuwa na nakala hiyo, naye ataisoma siku zote za maisha yake ili kwamba ajifunze kumheshimu Bwana Mungu wake na kufuata kwa uangalifu maneno yote ya sheria hii na amri hizi,
and he schal haue it with hym, and he schal rede it in alle the daies of his lijf, that he lerne to drede his Lord God, and to kepe hise wordis and cerymonyes, that ben comaundid in the lawe;
20 naye asijifikirie kuwa ni bora kuliko ndugu zake na kuipotosha sheria. Ndipo yeye na wazao wake watatawala katika ufalme wake kwa muda mrefu katika Israeli.
nether his herte be reisid in to pride on hise brithren, nether bowe he in to the riyt side, ether left side, that he regne long tyme, he and hise sones on Israel.
