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 all the congregation of the children of Israel, and 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.
Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God.
4 “‘Msiabudu sanamu, wala msijitengenezee miungu ya shaba. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
Turn ye not to idols, nor 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 offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
6 Sadaka hiyo italiwa siku iyo hiyo mnayoitoa, au kesho yake; chochote kitakachobaki hadi siku ya tatu lazima kiteketezwe kwa moto.
It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught shall remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
7 Kama sehemu yoyote ya sadaka hiyo italiwa siku ya tatu, itakuwa si safi, nayo haitakubaliwa.
And if it shall be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; 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.
Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his 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, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
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 glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
11 “‘Usiibe. “‘Usiseme uongo. “‘Msidanganyane.
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 “‘Usiape kwa uongo kwa Jina langu, na hivyo kulinajisi jina la Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
13 “‘Usimdhulumu wala kumwibia jirani yako. “‘Usishikilie mshahara wa kibarua usiku kucha hadi asubuhi.
Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob [him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 “‘Usimlaani kiziwi, wala usiweke kikwazo mbele ya kipofu, lakini umche Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
15 “‘Usipotoshe haki; usionyeshe kumpendelea maskini, wala upendeleo kwa mwenye cheo, bali mwamulie jirani yako kwa haki.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
16 “‘Usieneze uchochezi miongoni mwa watu wako. “‘Usifanye kitu chochote kile kinachohatarisha maisha ya jirani yako. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a tale-bearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I [am] the LORD.
17 “‘Usimchukie ndugu yako moyoni mwako. Karipia jirani yako kwa uwazi ili usishiriki hatia yake.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 “‘Usijilipizie kisasi wala kuwa na kinyongo dhidi ya mmoja wa jamaa yako, lakini mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor 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 keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle engender with a diverse kind: Thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.
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 whoever lieth carnally with a woman that [is] a bond-maid betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged: they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
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 his trespass-offering to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] 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 an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done 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 when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food; then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of.
24 Katika mwaka wa nne matunda yote ya mti huo yatakuwa matakatifu, sadaka ya sifa kwa Bwana.
But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy to praise the LORD [with].
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 shall ye eat of its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I [am] the LORD your God.
26 “‘Msile nyama yoyote yenye damu ndani yake. “‘Msifanye uaguzi wala uchawi.
Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 “‘Msikate nywele za kichwa denge, wala kunyoa pembe za ndevu zenu.
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28 “‘Msichanje chale miili yenu kwa ajili ya mfu, wala msijichore alama juu ya miili yenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.
29 “‘Usimdhalilishe binti yako kwa kumfanya kahaba, la sivyo nchi itageukia ukahaba na kujaa uovu.
Do not prostitute thy daughter to cause her to be a harlot: lest the land should fall to lewdness, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 “‘Shika Sabato zangu na kuheshimu mahali pangu patakatifu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.
31 “‘Msiende kwa waaguzi, wala msitafute wapunga pepo, kwa maana watawanajisi. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wako.
Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by 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 honor the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
33 “‘Wakati mgeni anaishi pamoja nawe katika nchi yako, usimnyanyase.
And if a stranger shall sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not oppress 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.
[But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be to you as one born among you, 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment, in weight, in measure of length or of capacity.
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.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin shall ye have: 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.’”
Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.
