Mambo ya Walawi 18
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 “Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, “Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord 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 ye doings of the land of Egypt, wherin ye dwelt, shall ye not doe: and after the maner of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, shall ye not do, neither walke in their ordinances,
4 Sheria zangu ndizo mtakazozitenda, na amri zangu ndizo mtakazozishika, kwa sababu Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
But do after my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.
5 Kwa hiyo ni lazima mzitunze hukumu zangu na sheria zangu. Ikiwa mtu amezitii, ataishi kwa sababu ya hizo. Mimi Ndimi Yahweh.
Ye shall keepe therefore my statutes, and my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall then liue in them: I am the Lord.
6 Pasiwepo kwenu atakayelala na yeyote aliye na uhusiano wa karibu naye. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
None shall come neere to any of ye kinred of his flesh to vncouer her shame: I am the Lord.
7 Usimfedheheshe baba yako kwa kulala na mama yako. Yeye ni mama yako! Haikupasi kumfedhehesha yeye.
Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy father, nor the shame of thy mother: for she is thy mother, thou shalt not discouer her shame.
8 Usilale na yeyote wa wake za baba yako; Usimfedheheshe namna hiyo baba yako.
The shame of thy fathers wife shalt thou not discouer: for it is thy fathers shame.
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.
Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy sister the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether shee bee borne at home, or borne without: thou shalt not discouer their shame.
10 Usilale na binti ya mwanao, au binti ya binti yako. Hiyo ingekuwa aibu yako mwenyewe.
The shame of thy sonnes daughter, or of thy daughters daughter, thou shalt not, I say, vncouer their shame: for it is thy shame.
11 Usilale na binti ya mke wa baba yako, aliyezaliwa kwa baba yako, yeye ni dada yako, na usilale naye.
The shame of thy fathers wiues daughter, begotten of thy father (for she is thy sister) thou shalt not, I say, discouer her shame.
12 Usilale na dada ya baba yako. Yeye ni ndugu wa karibu kwa baba yako.
Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy fathers sister: for she is thy fathers kinswoman.
13 Usilale na dada ya mama yako. Yeye ni ndugu wa mama yako.
Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy mothers sister: for she is thy mothers kinsewoman.
14 Usimfedheheshe ndug wa baba yako kwa kulala na mke wake. Usimkaribie kwa kusudi hilo; yeye ni shangazi yako.
Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy fathers brother: that is, thou shalt not goe in to his wife, for she is thine aunte.
15 Usilale na binti- mkwe wako, Yeye ni mke wa mwanao; usilale naye.
Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy daughter in lawe: for she is thy sonnes wife: therefore shalt thou not vncouer her shame.
16 Usilale na mke wa kaka yako; usije ukamfedhesha yeye katika njia hii.
Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy brothers wife. for it is thy brothers shame.
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.
Thou shalt not discouer the shame of the wife and of her daughter, neither shalt thou take her sonnes daughter, nor her daughters daughter, to vncouer her shame: for they are thy kinsfolkes, and it were wickednesse.
18 Usimwoe dada ya mke wako kuwa mke wako wa pili na kulala naye wakati bado mke wako wa kwanza angali hai.
Also thou shalt not take a wife with her sister, during her life, to vexe her, in vncouering her shame vpon her.
19 Usilale na mwanamke wakati wake wa hedhi.
Thou shalt not also go vnto a woman to vncouer her shame, as long as she is put apart for her disease.
20 Yeye ni najisi kwa wakati huo. Usilale na mke wa jilani yako na kujichafua mwenyewe kwake katika njia hii.
Moreouer, thou shalt not giue thy selfe to thy neighbours wife by carnall copulation, to be defiled 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.
Also thou shalt not giue thy children to offer them vnto Molech, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: for I am the Lord.
22 Usilale na mwanaume mwingine kama ulalavyo na mwanamke. Jambo hili lingekuwa uovu.
Thou shalt not lie with ye male as one lieth with a woman: for it is abomination.
23 Usilale na myama yeyote na kujitia unajisi kwake. Haimpasi mwanamke kufikiria kulala na mnyama ye yote. Huo ungekuwa upotovu.
Thou shalt not also lie with any beast to bee defiled therewith, neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie downe thereto: for it is abomination.
24 Msijichafue wenyewe katika njia hizi, kwa kuwa katika njia hizi mataifa yamechafuliwa, mataifa ambayo Nitayafukuza yatoke kwa ajili yenu.
Yee shall not defile your selues in any of these things: for in al these the nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you:
25 Ni kwa sababu nchi imenajisiwa, hivyo niliiadhibu dhambi yao, nayo nchi ikawatapika wakazi wake
And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her 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.
Ye shall keepe therefore mine ordinances, and my iudgements, and commit none of these abominations, aswell hee that is of the same countrey, as the straunger that soiourneth 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 haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:
28 Kwa hiyo, muwe waangalifu ili kwamba nchi isiwatapike nyinyi baada ya kuwa mmeinajisi, kama ilivyowatapika wale watu waliokuwako kabla yenu.
And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)
29 Yeyote anayefanya mambo haya ya kuchukiza, watu wafanyao mambo hayo ya kuchukiza lazima watakatiliwa mbali kutoka miongoni mwa watu wao.
For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee 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.
Therefore shall yee keepe mine ordinances that ye do not any of the abominable customes, which haue bene done before you, and that yee defile not your selues therein: for I am the Lord your God.
