Mambo ya Walawi 20
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to 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.
You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon 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 his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
4 Ikiwa watu wa jumuiya watafumba macho wakati mtu huyo anapomtoa mmoja wa watoto wake kwa mungu Moleki, nao wakaacha kumuua,
And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
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 will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from 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 shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.
7 “‘Jitakaseni basi, nanyi kuweni watakatifu, kwa sababu mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.
And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
8 Shikeni amri zangu na kuzifuata. Mimi ndimi Bwana, niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu.
And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies 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.
Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
10 “‘Ikiwa mtu atazini na mke wa mtu mwingine, yaani mke wa jirani yake, wazinzi hao wawili lazima wauawe.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
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 if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
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 any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
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.
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
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.
Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.
15 “‘Kama mwanaume akikutana kimwili na mnyama, ni lazima auawe, na pia ni lazima mnyama huyo auawe.
And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill 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 whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.
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.
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
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 whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.
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 father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: 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.
Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.
21 “‘Ikiwa mwanaume ataoa mke wa ndugu yake, hili ni tendo chafu; amemwaibisha ndugu yake. Nao hawatazaa mtoto.
Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.
22 “‘Zishikeni amri na sheria zangu zote na kuzifuata, ili nchi ninayowaleta kuishi isiwatapike.
And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgments; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.
23 Kamwe msiishi kwa kufuata desturi za mataifa nitakayoyafukuza mbele yenu. Kwa sababu walifanya mambo haya yote, nami nikachukizwa sana nao.
And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have 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.
and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all 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.
And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
26 Mtakuwa watakatifu kwangu, kwa sababu Mimi, Bwana, ni mtakatifu, nami nimewatenga kutoka mataifa kuwa wangu mwenyewe.
And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to 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.’”
And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
