Mambo ya Walawi 20
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akasema,
The Lord told Moses,
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.
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
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.
I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
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,
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
5 Nami nitamkatilia mbali pamoja na yeyote anayejifanya kahaba ili kufanya umalaya na Moleki.
I will disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
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.
I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
7 Kwa hiyo jitakaseni wenyewe na muwe watakatifu, kwa sababu Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
8 Mtazitunza amari zangu na kuzifuta. Mimi ndimi Yahweh anayewatenga ninyi muwe watakatifu.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
