Mambo ya Walawi 19
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Sema na kusanyiko lote la Israeli na uwaambie: ‘Kuweni watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi, Bwana Mungu wenu, ni mtakatifu.
Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
3 “‘Kila mmoja wenu ni lazima amheshimu mama yake na baba yake, na pia ni lazima kuzishika Sabato zangu. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
4 “‘Msiabudu sanamu, wala msijitengenezee miungu ya shaba. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
Ye shall not follow idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.
5 “‘Mnapotoa dhabihu ya sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana, toeni kwa namna ambayo itakubaliwa kwa niaba yenu.
And if ye will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, ye shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.
6 Sadaka hiyo italiwa siku iyo hiyo mnayoitoa, au kesho yake; chochote kitakachobaki hadi siku ya tatu lazima kiteketezwe kwa moto.
In what day soever ye shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.
7 Kama sehemu yoyote ya sadaka hiyo italiwa siku ya tatu, itakuwa si safi, nayo haitakubaliwa.
And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.
8 Yeyote atakayekula atawajibishwa, kwa sababu amenajisi kitu kilicho kitakatifu kwa Bwana; mtu huyo lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people.
9 “‘Wakati uvunapo mavuno ya nchi yako, usivune hadi kwenye mipaka ya shamba lako, wala usikusanye mabaki ya mavuno yako.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, ye shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and thou shalt not gather that which falls from thy reaping.
10 Usirudi mara ya pili katika shamba lako la mizabibu, wala usiokote zabibu zilizoanguka chini. Ziache kwa ajili ya maskini na mgeni. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako.
And thou shalt not go over the gathering of thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the remaining grapes of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
11 “‘Usiibe. “‘Usiseme uongo. “‘Msidanganyane.
Ye shall not steal, ye shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.
12 “‘Usiape kwa uongo kwa Jina langu, na hivyo kulinajisi jina la Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And ye shall not swear unjustly by my name, and ye shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God.
13 “‘Usimdhulumu wala kumwibia jirani yako. “‘Usishikilie mshahara wa kibarua usiku kucha hadi asubuhi.
Thou shalt not injure thy neighbour, neither do thou rob [him], neither shall the wages of thy hireling remain with thee until the morning.
14 “‘Usimlaani kiziwi, wala usiweke kikwazo mbele ya kipofu, lakini umche Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Thou shalt not revile the deaf, neither shalt thou put a stumbling-block in the way of the blind; and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord your God.
15 “‘Usipotoshe haki; usionyeshe kumpendelea maskini, wala upendeleo kwa mwenye cheo, bali mwamulie jirani yako kwa haki.
Thou shalt not act unjustly in judgment: thou shalt not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 “‘Usieneze uchochezi miongoni mwa watu wako. “‘Usifanye kitu chochote kile kinachohatarisha maisha ya jirani yako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Thou shalt not walk deceitfully among thy people; thou shalt not rise up against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord your God.
17 “‘Usimchukie ndugu yako moyoni mwako. Karipia jirani yako kwa uwazi ili usishiriki hatia yake.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, so thou shalt not bear sin on his account.
18 “‘Usijilipizie kisasi wala kuwa na kinyongo dhidi ya mmoja wa jamaa yako, lakini mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And thy hand shall not avenge thee; and thou shalt not be angry with the children of thy people; and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; I am the Lord.
19 “‘Mtazishika amri zangu. “‘Usiwaache wanyama wako wa kufugwa wakazaana na wengine wa aina tofauti. “‘Usipande mbegu za aina mbili katika shamba lako. “‘Usivae nguo iliyofumwa kwa nyuzi za aina mbili tofauti.
Ye shall observe my law: thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with one of a different kind, and thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diverse seed; and thou shalt not put upon thyself a mingled garment woven of two [materials].
20 “‘Kama mwanaume anakutana kimwili na mwanamke ambaye ni msichana mtumwa aliyeposwa na mwanaume mwingine, lakini ambaye hajakombolewa wala hajapewa uhuru, lazima iwepo adhabu inayofaa. Hata hivyo hawatauawa, kwa sababu msichana alikuwa bado hajaachwa huru.
And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, [and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited [with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.
21 Lakini huyo mtu lazima alete kondoo dume kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania kwa ajili ya sadaka ya hatia kwa Bwana.
And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.
22 Kupitia kwa huyo kondoo dume wa sadaka ya hatia, kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya dhambi aliyotenda, naye atasamehewa dhambi yake.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him.
23 “‘Mtakapoingia katika hiyo nchi na kupanda aina yoyote ya mti wa matunda, hesabuni matunda yake kama yaliyokatazwa. Kwa miaka mitatu mtayahesabu kwamba yamekatazwa; hayaruhusiwi kuliwa.
And whenever ye shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit-tree, then shall ye purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten.
24 Katika mwaka wa nne matunda yote ya mti huo yatakuwa matakatifu, sadaka ya sifa kwa Bwana.
And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.
25 Bali katika mwaka wa tano mnaweza kula matunda ya mti huo. Kwa njia hii mavuno yenu yataongezewa. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako.
And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
26 “‘Msile nyama yoyote yenye damu ndani yake. “‘Msifanye uaguzi wala uchawi.
Eat not on the mountains, nor shall ye employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
27 “‘Msikate nywele za kichwa denge, wala kunyoa pembe za ndevu zenu.
Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.
28 “‘Msichanje chale miili yenu kwa ajili ya mfu, wala msijichore alama juu ya miili yenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And ye shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and ye shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.
29 “‘Usimdhalilishe binti yako kwa kumfanya kahaba, la sivyo nchi itageukia ukahaba na kujaa uovu.
Thou shalt not profane thy daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.
30 “‘Shika Sabato zangu na kuheshimu mahali pangu patakatifu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
31 “‘Msiende kwa waaguzi, wala msitafute wapunga pepo, kwa maana watawanajisi. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako.
Ye shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.
32 “‘Uwapo mbele ya mzee, simama ili kuonyesha heshima kwa wazee, nawe umche Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord your God.
33 “‘Wakati mgeni anaishi pamoja nawe katika nchi yako, usimnyanyase.
And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, ye shall not afflict him.
34 Mgeni anayeishi pamoja nawe ni lazima umtendee kama mmoja wa wazawa wa nchi yako. Mpende kama unavyojipenda mwenyewe, kwa maana ulikuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Misri. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako.
The stranger that comes to you shall be among you as the native, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 “‘Usitumie vipimo vya udanganyifu unapopima urefu, kupima uzito, wala kupima wingi.
Ye shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.
36 Tumia mizani halali, mawe ya kupimia uzito halali, efa halali, na hini halali. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako, ambaye alikutoa katika nchi ya Misri.
There shall be among you just balances and just weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 “‘Shika amri zangu zote na sheria zangu zote, nawe uzifuate. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
And ye shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and ye shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
