Torati 21

1 Iwapo mtu amekutwa kauwawa ndani ya nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia kumiliki, kalala shambani, na haijulikani aliyemshambulia;

for to find slain: killed in/on/with land: soil which LORD God your to give: give to/for you to/for to possess: take her to fall: kill in/on/with land: country not to know who? to smite him

2 basi wazee wenu pamoja na waamuzi wenu wanapaswa kutoka nje, na kupima katika miji ambayo inamzunguka yule aliyeuawa.

and to come out: come old: elder your and to judge you and to measure to(wards) [the] city which around [the] slain: killed

3 Kisha wazee wa mji ulio karibu na mwili wa marehemu wanapaswa kuchukua mtamba kutoka kwenye kundi la mifugo, ambaye hajawahi kutumikishwa, wala kubebeshwa nira.

and to be [the] city [the] near to(wards) [the] slain: killed and to take: take old: elder [the] city [the] he/she/it heifer cattle which not to serve: labour in/on/with her which not to draw in/on/with yoke

4 Kisha wanapaswa kumuongoza mtamba huyo mpaka chini ya bonde litiririkalo maji, bonde ambalo halijawahi kulimwa wala kupandwa, na mle bondeni wanapaswa kuvunja shingo ya mtamba huyo.

and to go down old: elder [the] city [the] he/she/it [obj] [the] heifer to(wards) torrent: valley strong which not to serve: labour in/on/with him and not to sow and to break the neck there [obj] [the] heifer in/on/with torrent: valley

5 Makuhani, uzao wa Lawi, wanapaswa kuja mbele, kwa maana Yahwe Mungu wako amewachagua wamtumikie yeye na kutoa baraka katika jina la Yahwe na kuamua kila mtafaruku na ugomvi kwa neno lao.

and to approach: approach [the] priest son: child Levi for in/on/with them to choose LORD God your to/for to minister him and to/for to bless in/on/with name LORD and upon lip: word their to be all strife and all plague

6 Wazee wote wa mji ulio karibu na mtu aliyeuawa wanapaswa kunawa mikono yao juu ya mtamba aliyevunjwa shingo bondeni;

and all old: elder [the] city [the] he/she/it [the] near to(wards) [the] slain: killed to wash: wash [obj] hand their upon [the] heifer [the] to break the neck in/on/with torrent: valley

7 na wanapaswa kutoa suhulisho juu ya jambo hilo na kusema, ‘Mikono yetu haijamwaga damu hii, wala macho yetu hayajaona suala hili.

and to answer and to say hand our not (to pour: kill *Q(K)*) [obj] [the] blood [the] this and eye our not to see: see

8 Tusamehe watu wako Israeli, Yahwe, ambao umewakomboa, na usiweke hatia juu ya umwagaji damu usio na kosa miongoni mwa watu wako Israeli.’ Kisha umwagaji damu utasamehewa kwao.

to atone to/for people your Israel which to ransom LORD and not to give: put blood innocent in/on/with entrails: among people your Israel and to atone to/for them [the] blood

9 Kwa njia hii utaweka mbali umwagaji damu usio na hatia miongoni mwenu, mtakapofanya yaliyo mema machoni pa YAHWE.

and you(m. s.) to burn: purge [the] blood [the] innocent from entrails: among your for to make: do [the] upright in/on/with eye: seeing LORD

10 Utakapokwenda kupigana vita dhidi ya maadui zako na Yahwe Mungu wako atakapokupa ushindi na kuwaweka chini ya mamlaka yako, na ukawachukua mbali kuwa mateka,

for to come out: come to/for battle upon enemy your and to give: give him LORD God your in/on/with hand: power your and to take captive captivity his

11 kama kati ya mateka ukamwona mwanamke mzuri, nawe ukamtamani na kutaka kujitwalia awe mke wako,

and to see: see in/on/with captive woman beautiful appearance and to desire in/on/with her and to take: take to/for you to/for woman: wife

12 basi utamleta nyumbani kwako; atanyoa nywele zake na kukata kucha zake.

and to come (in): bring her to(wards) midst house: home your and to shave [obj] head her and to make: do [obj] fingernail her

13 Kisha atazivua nguo alizokuwa amezivaa wakati alipochukuliwa mateka na atabaki nyumbani kwako na kuwaomboleza baba yake na mama yake kwa mwezi mzima. Baada ya hapo unaweza kulala naye na kuwa mume wake, naye atakuwa mke wako.

and to turn aside: remove [obj] mantle captivity her from upon her and to dwell in/on/with house: home your and to weep [obj] father her and [obj] mother her month day and after so to come (in): come to(wards) her and master: husband her and to be to/for you to/for woman: wife

14 Lakini usipofurahishwa naye, basi unatakiwa kumruhusu aondoke apendaye yeye. Lakini haupaswi kamwe kumuuza kwa fedha, pia haupaswi kumfanya kama mtumwa, kwa sababu umemdhalilisha.

and to be if not to delight in in/on/with her and to send: let go her to/for soul: appetite her and to sell not to sell her in/on/with silver: money not to tyranise in/on/with her underneath: because of which to afflict her

15 Iwapo mwanamume ana wake wawili na mmoja wao ampenda na mwingine kumchukia, na wote wamekwisha mzalia watoto –wote mwanamke mpendwa na mwanamke achukiwae –

for to be to/for man two woman: wife [the] one to love: lover and [the] one to hate and to beget to/for him son: child [the] to love: lover and [the] to hate and to be [the] son: child [the] firstborn to/for hated

16 basi katika siku ambayo mwanamume atakapowarithisha mali zake wanawe, hapaswi kumfanya mwana wa mke ampendaye kuwa mzawa wa kwanza kabla ya mwana wa mke amchukiaye, ambaye ndiye mwana wa kwanza.

and to be in/on/with day to inherit he [obj] son: child his [obj] which to be to/for him not be able to/for to be/bear firstborn [obj] son: child [the] to love: lover upon face son: child [the] to hate [the] firstborn

17 Badala yake, anapaswa kumtambua mwana wa kwanza, mwana wa mke asiyempenda, kwa kumpatia mara mbili ya mali zake; kwa maana huyo mwana ni mwanzo wa nguvu zake; haki za mzawa wa kwanza ni zake.

for [obj] [the] firstborn son: child [the] to hate to recognize to/for to give: give to/for him lip: according two in/on/with all which to find to/for him for he/she/it first: beginning strength his to/for him justice [the] birthright

18 Iwapo mwanamume ana mwana mkaidi na muasi ambaye hatatii sauti ya baba yake au sauti ya mama yake, ambaye, hata baada ya kurekebishwa, hatawasikia;

for to be to/for man: anyone son: child to rebel and to rebel nothing he to hear: obey in/on/with voice father his and in/on/with voice mother his (and to discipline *L(abh)*) [obj] him and not to hear: hear to(wards) them

19 basi baba yake na mama yake wanapaswa kumshika na kumleta mbele ya wazee wa mji na kwenye malango ya mji.

and to capture in/on/with him father his and mother his and to come out: send [obj] him to(wards) old: elder city his and to(wards) gate place his

20 Wanapaswa kuwaambia wazee wa mji, “Huyu mwanetu ni mkaidi na muasi; hataki kusikia sauti zetu; ni mwasherati na pia ni mlevi’.

and to say to(wards) old: elder city his son: child our this to rebel and to rebel nothing he to hear: obey in/on/with voice our be vile and be drunk

21 Kisha wanaume wote wa mji wanapaswa kumpiga kwa mawe hadi kufa; nanyi mtaondoa uovu miongoni mwenu. Israeli yote itasikia juu ya hili na kuogopa.

and to stone him all human city his in/on/with stone and to die and to burn: purge [the] bad: evil from entrails: among your and all Israel to hear: hear and to fear

22 Iwapo mwanamume kafanya dhambi inayostahili kifo na kisha akauwawa, kwa kunyongwa juu ya mti,

and for to be in/on/with man: anyone sin justice: judgement death and to die and to hang [obj] him upon tree

23 basi mwili wake haupaswi kubaki usiku kucha juu ya mti. Badala yake, unapaswa kuhakikisha unamzika siku hiyo; kwa maana yeyote anyongwaye amekwisha laaniwa na Mungu. Tii amri hii ili kwamba usitie najisi nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako anawapatia kama urithi.

not to lodge carcass his upon [the] tree for to bury to bury him in/on/with day [the] he/she/it for curse God to hang and not to defile [obj] land: soil your which LORD God your to give: give to/for you inheritance
