Mambo ya Walawi 20
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Sema na wana wa Israeli: ‘Mwisraeli yeyote au mgeni anayeishi katika Israeli ambaye atamtoa yeyote miongoni mwa watoto wake kuwa sadaka kwa mungu Moleki, mtu huyo lazima auawe. Watu wa jumuiya hiyo watampiga kwa mawe.
Again, you shall say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that gives any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
3 Mimi nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo, nami nitamkatilia mbali na watu wake. Kwa maana kwa kumtoa mmoja wa watoto wake kwa mungu Moleki, amenajisi madhabahu yangu na kulinajisi Jina langu takatifu.
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 Ikiwa watu wa jumuiya watafumba macho wakati mtu huyo anapomtoa mmoja wa watoto wake kwa mungu Moleki, nao wakaacha kumuua,
And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
5 mimi nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo pamoja na jamaa yake, nami nitawakatilia mbali yeye na watu wote waliofanya ukahaba na Moleki.
Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
6 “‘Mimi nitauelekeza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu anayeenda kwa waaguzi na wenye pepo, na hivyo kujifanyia ukahaba kwa kuwafuata, nami nitamkatilia mbali na watu wake.
And the soul that turns after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 “‘Jitakaseni basi, nanyi kuweni watakatifu, kwa sababu mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be all of you holy: for I am the LORD your God.
8 Shikeni amri zangu na kuzifuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana, niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu.
And all of you shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
9 “‘Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamlaani baba yake au mama yake, lazima auawe. Amemlaani baba yake au mama yake, nayo damu yake itakuwa juu ya kichwa chake mwenyewe.
For every one that curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 “‘Ikiwa mtu atazini na mke wa mtu mwingine, yaani mke wa jirani yake, wazinzi hao wawili lazima wauawe.
And the man that commits adultery with another man's wife, even he that commits adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 “‘Kama mtu atakutana kimwili na mke wa baba yake, hakumheshimu baba yake. Mwanaume huyo na mwanamke huyo wote wauawe; damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
And the man that lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
12 “‘Ikiwa mtu atakutana kimwili na mke wa mwanawe, lazima wote wawili wauawe. Walichokifanya ni upotovu; damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
13 “‘Kama mwanaume akikutana kimwili na mwanaume mwenzake kama vile mwanaume afanyavyo na mwanamke, wanaume hao wawili wamefanya lililo chukizo sana. Lazima wauawe; nayo damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
14 “‘Ikiwa mwanaume ataoa binti pamoja na mama yake, huo ni uovu. Wote watatu ni lazima wachomwe moto, ili kwamba pasiwepo na uovu katikati yenu.
And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
15 “‘Kama mwanaume akikutana kimwili na mnyama, ni lazima auawe, na pia ni lazima mnyama huyo auawe.
And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and all of you shall slay the beast.
16 “‘Kama mwanamke atamsogelea mnyama kukutana naye kimwili, muueni mwanamke huyo pamoja na mnyama pia. Lazima wauawe; damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.
And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, you shall kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
17 “‘Ikiwa mtu anamwoa dada yake, binti aliyezaliwa na baba yake au mama yake, nao wakakutana kimwili, ni aibu. Lazima wakatiliwe mbali machoni pa watu wao. Huyo mwanaume amemwaibisha dada yake, hivyo atawajibika kwa ajili ya uovu huo.
And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 “‘Ikiwa mwanaume atalala na mwanamke aliye katika hedhi yake na kukutana naye kimwili, amefunua mtiririko wa hedhi yake, naye huyo mwanamke amejifunua uchi wake. Wote wawili lazima wakatiliwe mbali na watu wao.
And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he has discovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19 “‘Usikutane kimwili na dada wa mama yako wala wa baba yako, kwa maana hilo litamwaibisha jamaa wa karibu; ninyi wawili mtawajibika kwa ajili ya uovu huo.
And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister: for he uncovers his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 “‘Ikiwa mwanaume atakutana kimwili na shangazi yake, amemwaibisha mjomba wake. Nao watawajibika kwa ajili ya uovu huo; watakufa bila kuzaa mtoto.
And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 “‘Ikiwa mwanaume ataoa mke wa ndugu yake, hili ni tendo chafu; amemwaibisha ndugu yake. Nao hawatazaa mtoto.
And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 “‘Zishikeni amri na sheria zangu zote na kuzifuata, ili nchi ninayowaleta kuishi isiwatapike.
All of you shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, where I bring you to dwell therein, spew you not out.
23 Kamwe msiishi kwa kufuata desturi za mataifa nitakayoyafukuza mbele yenu. Kwa sababu walifanya mambo haya yote, nami nikachukizwa sana nao.
And all of you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 Lakini niliwaambia ninyi, “Mtaimiliki nchi yao; nitawapa ninyi kuwa urithi, nchi inayotiririka maziwa na asali.” Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, ambaye amewatenga kutoka mataifa.
But I have said unto you, All of you shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
25 “‘Kwa hiyo, ninyi lazima mweze kutofautisha kati ya wanyama walio safi na wasio safi, pia kati ya ndege wasio safi na walio safi. Msijitie unajisi kutokana na mnyama yeyote, au ndege, wala kitu chochote kitambaacho juu ya ardhi, vile ambavyo nimevitenga kuwa najisi kwa ajili yenu.
All of you shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and all of you shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
26 Mtakuwa watakatifu kwangu, kwa sababu Mimi, Bwana, ni mtakatifu, nami nimewatenga kutoka mataifa kuwa wangu mwenyewe.
And all of you shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that all of you should be mine.
27 “‘Mwanaume au mwanamke ambaye ni mchawi, mwaguzi au mwenye kupunga pepo miongoni mwenu lazima auawe. Mtawapiga kwa mawe; nayo damu yao itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao wenyewe.’”
A man also or woman that has a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
