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 you shall say to them, You 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 you shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
4 “‘Msiabudu sanamu, wala msijitengenezee miungu ya shaba. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
You shall not follow idols, and you 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 you will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, you 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 you 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 you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and you shall not gather that which falls from your 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 you shall not go over the gathering of your vineyard, neither shall you gather the remaining grapes of your vineyard: you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
11 “‘Usiibe. “‘Usiseme uongo. “‘Msidanganyane.
You shall not steal, you shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbor.
12 “‘Usiape kwa uongo kwa Jina langu, na hivyo kulinajisi jina la Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And you shall not swear unjustly by my name, and you 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.
You shall not injure your neighbor, neither do you rob [him], neither shall the wages of your hireling remain with you until the morning.
14 “‘Usimlaani kiziwi, wala usiweke kikwazo mbele ya kipofu, lakini umche Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
You shall not revile the deaf, neither shall you put a stumbling block in the way of the blind; and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.
15 “‘Usipotoshe haki; usionyeshe kumpendelea maskini, wala upendeleo kwa mwenye cheo, bali mwamulie jirani yako kwa haki.
You shall not act unjustly in judgment: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbor.
16 “‘Usieneze uchochezi miongoni mwa watu wako. “‘Usifanye kitu chochote kile kinachohatarisha maisha ya jirani yako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
You shall not walk deceitfully among your people; you shall not rise up against the blood of your neighbor: I am the Lord your God.
17 “‘Usimchukie ndugu yako moyoni mwako. Karipia jirani yako kwa uwazi ili usishiriki hatia yake.
You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbor, so you shall 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 your hand shall not avenge you; and you shall not be angry with the children of your people; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself; 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.
You shall observe my law: you shall not let your cattle gender with one of a different kind, and you shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed; and you shall not put upon yourself 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 you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit tree, then shall you 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 you 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 you employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
27 “‘Msikate nywele za kichwa denge, wala kunyoa pembe za ndevu zenu.
You 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 you shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and you 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.
You shall not profane your 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.
You 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.
You 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.
You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and shall fear your 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, you 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 you shall love him as yourself; for you 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.
You 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 you shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and you shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
