Mambo ya Walawi 20
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akasema,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Waambie watu wa Waisraeli, 'mtu yeyote miongoni mwa watu Israeli, au Mgeni yeyote anayeishi miongoni mwa Waisraeli atakayemtoa mtoto wake yeyote kwa Moleki, hakika atauawa. Ni lazima watu wa nchi wamponde kwa mawe.
Thou shalt say also to the children of Israel, Every one of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, shall certainly be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
3 Pia nitaukaza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo na kumkatilia mbali kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake kwa sababu amemtoa mtoto wake kwa Moleki, ili kupatia unajisi mahali pangu patakatifu na kulinajisi jina langu takatifu.
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, so as to make my sanctuary unclean, and to profane my holy name.
4 Na kama watu wa nchi watayafumba macho yao kwa mtu huyo anapomtoa mmoja wa watoto wake kwa Moleki, kama hawatamwua mtu huyo, ndipo Mimi mwenyewe nitaukaza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo na ukoo wake,
And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, that they kill him not,
5 Nami nitamkatilia mbali pamoja na yeyote anayejifanya kahaba ili kufanya umalaya na Moleki.
then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
6 Mtu yule anayewageukia wanaozungumza na wafu, au na wale wanaozungumza na roho ili kufanya ukahaba nao, Nitakaza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo; Nami nitamkatilia mbali atoke miongoni mwa watu wake.
— And the soul that turneth unto necromancers and unto soothsayers, to go a whoring after them, I will set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Kwa hiyo jitakaseni wenyewe na muwe watakatifu, kwa sababu Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Hallow yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Jehovah your God.
8 Mtazitunza amari zangu na kuzifuta. Mimi ndimi Yahweh anayewatenga ninyi muwe watakatifu.
And ye shall observe my statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who hallow you.
9 Yeyote amlaaniye baba yake au mama yake hakika mtu huyo atauawa. Amemlaani baba yake au mama yake, kwa hiyo ana hatia na anastahili kufa.
Whatever man revileth his father and his mother shall certainly be put to death: he hath reviled his father and his mother; his blood is upon him.
10 Mwanaume yeyote afanyaye uzinzi na mke wa mwanaume mwingine, yaani, yeyote anayezini na mke wa jirani yake—yule mwanaume mzinzi na mwanamke mzinzi ni lazima wote wawili wauawe.
And a man that committeth adultery with a man's wife, who committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, — the adulterer and the adulteress shall certainly be put to death.
11 Mwanaume yeyote anayelala na mke wa baba yake ili kukutana naye kimwili amemfedhehesha baba yake mwenye. Wote wawili; mwana huyo na mke huyo wa baba yake kwa hakika watauawa. wanahatia na wanastahili kufa.
And a man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall certainly be put to death; their blood is upon them.
12 Kama mwanaume atalala na mke wa mwanawe, wote wawili; mwanaume huyo na mke huyo wa mwanawe hakika watauawa. Wametenda upotovu. Wana hatia na wanastahili kufa.
And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall certainly be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood is upon them.
13 Kama mwanaume analala na mwanaume mwingine kama alalavyo na mwanamke, wote wawili watakuwa wamefanya jambo lililo ovu. Hakika watauawa. Wana hatia na wanastahili kufa.
And if a man lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall certainly be put to death; their blood is upon them.
14 Ikiwa mwanaume atamwoa mwanamke na pia akamwoa mama wa mwanamke huyo, huu ni uovu. Ni lazima wachomwe kwa moto, wote wawili, mwanaume huyo na manamke huyo, ili kwamba hapatakuwepo na uovu miongoni mwenu.
And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is infamy: they shall burn him and them with fire, that there be no infamy among you.
15 Ikiwa mwanaume analala na mnyama, hakika atauawa, ni lazima mumuue na mnyama huyo pia.
And if a man lie with a beast for copulation, he shall certainly be put to death; and ye shall kill the beast.
16 Ikiwa mwanamke anamkaribia mnyama ili kulala naye, ni lazima mmuuwe mwanamke huyo pamoja na mnyama. Kwa hakika ni lazima wauawe. wana hatia na wanastahili kufa.
And if a woman approach unto any beast to gender therewith, thou shalt kill the woman and the beast: they shall certainly be put to death; their blood is upon them.
17 Ikiwa mwanaume analala na dada yake, ama ni binti ya baba yake au binti ya mama yake—ikiwa wamelala pamoja, hilo ni jambo la aibu. Ni lazima wakatiliwe mbali watoke machoni pa watu wao, kwa sababu amelala na dada yake. Ni lazima aibebe hatia yake.
And if a man take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, that is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off before the eyes of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 Kama mwanaume analala na mwanamke katika kipindi cha hedhi yake, na amekutana naye kimwili, atakuwa amefunua mtiririko wa damu yake, chanzo cha damu yake. Ni lizima wote wawili wakatiliwe mbali kutoka mingoni mwa watu wao.
And if a man shall lie with a woman in her infirmity, and uncover her nakedness, her flux doth he lay bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19 Usilale na dada ya mama yako, au dada ya baba yako, kwa sababu ungeweza kumwaibisha jamaa yako wa karibu. Ni lazima utabeba hatia yako mwenyewe.
And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover; for he hath laid naked his near relation: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 Ikiwa mwanaume analala na shangazi yake, atakuwa amemfedhehesha mjomba wake. Wanapokufa, nitawaadhibu wote wawili, na wanapokufa nitauondolea mbali urithi wa watoto wao ambao wangeliupokea kutoka kwa wazazi wao.

21 Ikiwa mwanaume anamwoa mke wa kaka yake wakati ambapo kaka yake angali hai, hilo ni jambo la aibu. Amemfedhehesha kaka yake, na nitaondolea mbali mali yoyote amabayo watoto wao wangerithi kutoka kwa wazazi wao.
And if a man take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness: they shall be childless.
22 Kwa hiyo imewapasa kuzishika amri na sheria zangu zote; ni lazima mzitii ili kwamba ile nchi ambayo ninawaleta kuishi isiwatapike nyinyi.
And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them, that the land whither I bring you to dwell therein vomit you not out.
23 Msienende katika desturi za mataifa ambayo nitayafukuza mbele yenu, ni kwa sababu wamefanya mambo haya yote, nami mimewachukia wao.
And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for all these things have they done, and they became an abomination to me.
24 Nami nikawaambia ninyi, “Mtaimiliki nchi yao, nitaitoa kwenu ili muimiliki, nchi itiririkayo amaziwa na asali. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu, aliyewatenga nyinyi kutoka kwa watu wengine.
And I have said unto you, Ye shall possess their land, and I will give it unto you for a possession; a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah your God, who have separated you from the peoples.
25 Ni lazima pia mtofautishe kati ya wanya najisi na wale walio safi, na kati ya ndege walio najisi na walio safi. Msijichafue wenyewe kwa wanyama au ndege au kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya nchi kilicho najisi, ambacho nimekitenga kuwa najisi.
And ye shall make a separation between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean, and ye shall not make yourselves an abomination by beast, or by fowl, or by anything that creepeth on the ground which I have separated for you, declaring [it] as unclean.
26 Mtakuwa watakatifu, kwa kuwa Mimi, Yahweh, ni mtakakatifu, nami nimewatenga nyinyi kutoka kwa watu wengine, kwa kuwa nyinyi ni wangu.
And ye shall be holy unto me; for I Jehovah am holy, and have separated you from the peoples to be mine.
27 Mwanaume au mwanamke anayeongea na wafu au anayeongea na roho hakika atauawa. Watu watawaponda kwa mawe. Wanayo hatia na wanastahili kufa.
And if there be a man or a woman in whom is a spirit of Python or of divination, they shall certainly be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood is upon them.
