Mambo ya Walawi 19

1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema.

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 Zungumza na kusanyiko lote la watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Ni lazima muwe watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi Yahweh Mungu wenu ni mtakatifu.

Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Eternal your God am holy.

3 Kila mtu amstahi mama yake na baba yake. Na ni lazima muzishike Sabato zangu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.

Ye shall fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am the Lord your God.

4 Msizigeukie sanamu zisizo na thamani, wala kujitengenezea wenyewe miungu kutokana na chuma. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.

Ye shall not turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

5 Unapotoa dhabihu za sadaka ya ushirika kwa Yahweh, utatoa ili kupata kibali.

And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.

6 Ni sharti iliwe siku hiyo hiyo uliyoitoa, au siku inayofuata.

On the same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be burnt with fire.

7 Kama kinabaki kitu cho chote hata siku ya tatu ni lazima kiteketezwe kwa moto. Kama kitaliwa katika siku ya tatu kitakuwa najisi. Hakitakubalika,

And if the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.

8 lakini kila akilaye ni lazima atachukua hatia yake kwa sababu amekivunjia heshima kilicho kitakatifu kwa Yahweh. Mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.

And whoever eateth it shall bear his iniquity; because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

9 Unapovuna mavuno ya ardhi yako, usivune hata pembezo mwa shamba lako kabisa, wala hutakusanya mabaki ya mavuno yako yote.

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather up the gleanings of thy harvest.

10 Usikusanye kila zabibu kutoka katika mizabibu yako, wala usiziokote dhabibu zilizoanguka chini katika shamba la mizabibu. Ni lazima uziache kwa ajili ya masikini na kwa ajili ya wageni. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.

And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, and the single grapes that drop in thy vineyard shalt thou not gather up; for the poor and the stranger shalt thou leave them: I am the Lord your God.

11 Usiibe. Usiseme uongo. Msidanganyane.

Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor lie one to another.

12 Usiape kwa jina langu kwa uongo na kulinajisi jina la Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and thou shalt not thus profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

13 Usimgandamize jirani yako wala kumwibia. Usishikilie malipo ya kibarua usiku kucha hata asubuhi.

Thou shalt not withhold any thing from thy neighbor, nor rob him: there shall not abide with thee the wages of him that is hired, through the night until morning.

14 Usimlaani kiziwi au kuweka kikwazo mbele ya kipofu. Badala yake, yakupasa umwogope Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.

15 Usisababishe hukumu ikawa ya uongo. Usionyeshe upendeleo kwa mtu fulani eti kwa kuwa tu yeye ni masikini na usionyeshe upendeleo kwa mtu fulani eti kwa kuwa tu yeye ni mtu muhimu. Badala yake, amua juu ya jirani yako kwa haki.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

16 Usiende huku na huko ukisema habari za uchochezi miongoni mwa watu wako, bali tafuta kuyalinda maisha ya jirani yako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand [idly] by the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord.

17 Usimchukie ndugu yako moyoni mwako. Mkemee jirani yako kwa heshima ili kwamba usishiriki katika dhambi kwa sababu yake.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin on account of him.

18 Usijilipize kisasi au kuwa na chuki yoyote dhidi ya mtu yeyote wa watu wako, lakini badala yake mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord.

19 Shika amri zangu. Usiwazalishe wanyama wako kwa kutumia wanyama wa aina nyingine tofauti. Usichanganye aina mbili tofauti za mbegu unapopanda shamba lako. Usivae vazi lililofumwa kwa kutumia nyuzi za rangi mbili tofauti zilizochanganywa pamoja.

My statutes shall ye keep; thy cattle shalt thou not let gender with a diverse kind; thy field shalt thou not sow with mingled seeds; and a garment of mingled kinds, of linen and woollen, shall not come upon thee.

20 Yeyote anayelala na msichana mtumwa aliyeposwa na mume mwingine, lakini ambaye hajakombolewa au hajaachwa huru, lazima waadhibiwe. Hawatauawa kwa sababu yule msichana hakuwa huru.

And if a man lie carnally with a woman, that is a bond-maid, betrothed to a man, but who hath neither been redeemed, nor hath her freedom been given her: there shall a scourging be decreed; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

21 Ni lazima mtu huyo alete sadaka yake ya hatia kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania—kondoo dume iwe sadaka ya hatia.

And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: a ram for a trespass-offering.

22 Kisha kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa huyo kandoo dume mbele za Yahweh kutokana na dhambi aliyoitenda. Nayo dhambi iliyotendwa itasamehewa.

And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath committed.

23 Mtakapoingia katika nchi na kupanda aina zote za miti kwa chakula, kisha mtayahesabu matunda yatakayozaliwa kuwa yamekatazwa kuliwa. Tunda litakatazwa kwako kwa miaka mitatu. Halitaliwa.

And when ye come into the land, and plant any kind of tree bearing edible fruit, then shall ye count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you, it shall not be eaten.

24 Lakini katika mwaka wa nne matunda yote yatakuwa matakatiifu, matoleo ya sifa kwa Yahweh.

But in the fourth year shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto the Lord.

25 Katika mwaka wa tano unaweza kula tunda, ambalo umelisubiri ili kwamba mti uweze kuzaa zaidi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.

And in the fifth year shall ye eat of its fruit, in order that it may increase unto you its productiveness: I am the Lord your God.

26 Usile nyama yoyote amabayo damu ingalimo ndani yake. Usiulize kwa roho juu ya wakati ujao,

Ye shall not eat upon the blood; nor shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

27 Usitafute kuwadhibiti wengine kwa njia ya nguvu za kichawi. Msifuate tabia za kipagani kama vile kunyoa denge au kunyoa pembe za ndevu zeu.

Ye shall not cut round the corners [of the hair] of your head, neither shalt thou destroy the corners of thy beard.

28 Usiukate mwili wako kwa ajili ya wafu au kuchanja chale juu ya mwili wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

And for the dead shall ye not make any incision in your flesh; and any etched-in writing shall you not fix on yourselves: I am the Lord.

29 Usimwaibishe binti yako kwa kumfanya kahaba, la sivyo taifa litaangukia kwenye ukahaba na nchi itajawa na uovu.

Do not profane thy daughter, to cause her to be a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of incest.

30 Utazitunza Sabato zangu na kupaheshimu mahali patakatifu pa hema langu la kukutania. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

31 Msiwageukie wale wanaoongea na wafu au roho wachafu. msiwatafute, la sivyo watawanajisi ninyi, Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.

Turn not unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards; seek [them] not, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

32 Ni lazima usimame mbele za mtu mwenye mvi na uheshimu uwepo wa mzee. Yakupasa umwegope Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

Before the hoary head shalt thou rise up, and honor the face of the old man; and thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.

33 Mgeni anapoishi miongoni mwenu katika nchi yanu, usimtendee lolote lililobaya.

And if a stranger sojourn with thee, in your land, ye shall not vex him.

34 Mgeni anayeishi pamoja nanyi ni lazima awe kama mwenyeji Mwisraeli mzaliwa anayeishi kwenu, na sharti umpende kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe, ni kwa sababu wewe ulikuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Misri. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.

As one born in the land among you, shall be unto you the stranger that sojourneth with you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

35 Unapopima urefu, uzito, au wingi usitumie vipimo vya udanganyifu.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

36 Tumia mizani iliyo halali, mawe ya kupimia uzito yaliyo halali, efa halali, hini iliyo halali. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako, aliyekutoa katika nchi ya utumwa ya Misri.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.

37 Utayatii maagizo yangu na sheria zangu zote na kuzitenda. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.

Ye shall therefore observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord.
