Mambo ya Walawi 18
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, “Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.
3 Msitende mambo ambayo watu wa Misri huyatenda, mahali mlikokuwa mkiishi awali. Na ni lazima msitende mambo yale wanayoyatenda watu wa Kanaani, nchi ambayo ninawapeleka nyinyi. Msifuate desturi zao.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their customs.
4 Sheria zangu ndizo mtakazozitenda, na amri zangu ndizo mtakazozishika, kwa sababu Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Mine ordinances shall ye do and my statutes shall ye observe to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.
5 Kwa hiyo ni lazima mzitunze hukumu zangu na sheria zangu. Ikiwa mtu amezitii, ataishi kwa sababu ya hizo. Mimi Ndimi Yahweh.
And ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, by which the man that doeth them shall live: I am Jehovah.
6 Pasiwepo kwenu atakayelala na yeyote aliye na uhusiano wa karibu naye. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
No one shall approach to any that is his near relation, to uncover his nakedness: I am Jehovah.
7 Usimfedheheshe baba yako kwa kulala na mama yako. Yeye ni mama yako! Haikupasi kumfedhehesha yeye.
The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 Usilale na yeyote wa wake za baba yako; Usimfedheheshe namna hiyo baba yako.
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9 Usilale na yeyote aliye mmoja miongoni mwa dada zako, ama ni binti ya baba yako au ni binti ya mama yako, ama aliyelelewa nyumbani mwenu au mbali nawe. Usilale na dada zako.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home, or born abroad — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover.
10 Usilale na binti ya mwanao, au binti ya binti yako. Hiyo ingekuwa aibu yako mwenyewe.
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy nakedness.
11 Usilale na binti ya mke wa baba yako, aliyezaliwa kwa baba yako, yeye ni dada yako, na usilale naye.
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father: she is thy sister: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Usilale na dada ya baba yako. Yeye ni ndugu wa karibu kwa baba yako.
The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near relation.
13 Usilale na dada ya mama yako. Yeye ni ndugu wa mama yako.
The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near relation.
14 Usimfedheheshe ndug wa baba yako kwa kulala na mke wake. Usimkaribie kwa kusudi hilo; yeye ni shangazi yako.
The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Usilale na binti- mkwe wako, Yeye ni mke wa mwanao; usilale naye.
The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Usilale na mke wa kaka yako; usije ukamfedhesha yeye katika njia hii.
The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17 Usilale na mwanamke kisha na binti yake, au binti wa mwanawe au binti wa binti yake. Hao ni ndugu zake wa karibu, na kulala nao lingekuwa ni uovu.
The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, nor her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are her near relations: it is wickedness.
18 Usimwoe dada ya mke wako kuwa mke wako wa pili na kulala naye wakati bado mke wako wa kwanza angali hai.
And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness beside her, during her life.
19 Usilale na mwanamke wakati wake wa hedhi.
And thou shalt not approach a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.
20 Yeye ni najisi kwa wakati huo. Usilale na mke wa jilani yako na kujichafua mwenyewe kwake katika njia hii.
And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to become unclean with her.
21 Msiwatoe watoto wenu ili kuwapitisha kwenye moto, ili kwamba muwatoe sadaka kwa Moleki, kwa sababu msije mkalinajisi jina la Mungu wenu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
And thou shalt not give of thy seed to let them pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.
22 Usilale na mwanaume mwingine kama ulalavyo na mwanamke. Jambo hili lingekuwa uovu.
And thou shalt not lie with mankind as one lieth with a woman: it is an abomination.
23 Usilale na myama yeyote na kujitia unajisi kwake. Haimpasi mwanamke kufikiria kulala na mnyama ye yote. Huo ungekuwa upotovu.
And thou shalt lie with no beast to become unclean therewith; and a woman shall not stand before a beast to lie down with it: it is confusion.
24 Msijichafue wenyewe katika njia hizi, kwa kuwa katika njia hizi mataifa yamechafuliwa, mataifa ambayo Nitayafukuza yatoke kwa ajili yenu.
Make not yourselves unclean in any of these things; for in all these have the nations which I am casting out before you made themselves unclean.
25 Ni kwa sababu nchi imenajisiwa, hivyo niliiadhibu dhambi yao, nayo nchi ikawatapika wakazi wake
And the land hath become unclean; and I visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants.
26 Kwa hiyo, yawapasa kuzishika amri zangu na maagiza yangu, na msifanye aina yoyote ya mambo haya ya machukizo, wala Mwisraeli mzaliwa au Mgeni aishie miongoni mwenu.
But ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth among you;
27 Kwa kuwa ni uovu huu ambao watu wametenda, wale ambao waliishi hapa kabla yenu, na sasa nchi imenajisiwa.
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);
28 Kwa hiyo, muwe waangalifu ili kwamba nchi isiwatapike nyinyi baada ya kuwa mmeinajisi, kama ilivyowatapika wale watu waliokuwako kabla yenu.
that the land vomit you not out, when ye make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Yeyote anayefanya mambo haya ya kuchukiza, watu wafanyao mambo hayo ya kuchukiza lazima watakatiliwa mbali kutoka miongoni mwa watu wao.
For whoever committeth any of these abominations, ...the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Kw a hiyo inawapasa kuzishika amri zangu na sitende mojawapo ya desturi hizi zenyekuchukiza ambazo zilitendwa hapo kabla yenu, ili msijinajisi wenyewe kwa hizo. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
And ye shall observe my charge, that ye commit not [any] of the abominable customs which were committed before you; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean therein: I am Jehovah your God.
