Mambo ya Walawi 18
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Zungumza na watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, “Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to 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.
You shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which you lived: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, you shall not do; and you shall not walk in their ordinances.
4 Sheria zangu ndizo mtakazozitenda, na amri zangu ndizo mtakazozishika, kwa sababu Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
You shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: 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.
So you shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
6 Pasiwepo kwenu atakayelala na yeyote aliye na uhusiano wa karibu naye. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
No man shall draw near to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
7 Usimfedheheshe baba yako kwa kulala na mama yako. Yeye ni mama yako! Haikupasi kumfedhehesha yeye.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, for she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 Usilale na yeyote wa wake za baba yako; Usimfedheheshe namna hiyo baba yako.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your 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 your sister by your father or by your mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10 Usilale na binti ya mwanao, au binti ya binti yako. Hiyo ingekuwa aibu yako mwenyewe.
The nakedness of your son's daughter, or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; because it is your nakedness.
11 Usilale na binti ya mke wa baba yako, aliyezaliwa kwa baba yako, yeye ni dada yako, na usilale naye.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of your father's wife; she is your sister by the same father: you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 Usilale na dada ya baba yako. Yeye ni ndugu wa karibu kwa baba yako.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, for she is near akin to your father.
13 Usilale na dada ya mama yako. Yeye ni ndugu wa mama yako.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is near akin to your mother.
14 Usimfedheheshe ndug wa baba yako kwa kulala na mke wake. Usimkaribie kwa kusudi hilo; yeye ni shangazi yako.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, and you shall not go in to his wife; for she is your relation.
15 Usilale na binti- mkwe wako, Yeye ni mke wa mwanao; usilale naye.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 Usilale na mke wa kaka yako; usije ukamfedhesha yeye katika njia hii.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your 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 shall you not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shall you not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are your kinswomen: it is impiety.
18 Usimwoe dada ya mke wako kuwa mke wako wa pili na kulala naye wakati bado mke wako wa kwanza angali hai.
You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.
19 Usilale na mwanamke wakati wake wa hedhi.
And you shall not go in to a woman under separation for 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 you shall not lie with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself 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 you shall not give of your seed to serve a ruler; and you shall not profane my holy name; I [am] the Lord.
22 Usilale na mwanaume mwingine kama ulalavyo na mwanamke. Jambo hili lingekuwa uovu.
And you shall not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
23 Usilale na myama yeyote na kujitia unajisi kwake. Haimpasi mwanamke kufikiria kulala na mnyama ye yote. Huo ungekuwa upotovu.
Neither shall you lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
24 Msijichafue wenyewe katika njia hizi, kwa kuwa katika njia hizi mataifa yamechafuliwa, mataifa ambayo Nitayafukuza yatoke kwa ajili yenu.
Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
25 Ni kwa sababu nchi imenajisiwa, hivyo niliiadhibu dhambi yao, nayo nchi ikawatapika wakazi wake
and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
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.
And you shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
27 Kwa kuwa ni uovu huu ambao watu wametenda, wale ambao waliishi hapa kabla yenu, na sasa nchi imenajisiwa.
(for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )
28 Kwa hiyo, muwe waangalifu ili kwamba nchi isiwatapike nyinyi baada ya kuwa mmeinajisi, kama ilivyowatapika wale watu waliokuwako kabla yenu.
and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations 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 shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed 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 you shall keep mine ordinances, that you may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and you shall not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your God.
