Mambo ya Walawi 20
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akasema,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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.
'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do 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 — I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute 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 really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,
5 Nami nitamkatilia mbali pamoja na yeyote anayejifanya kahaba ili kufanya umalaya na Moleki.
then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of 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 person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.
7 Kwa hiyo jitakaseni wenyewe na muwe watakatifu, kwa sababu Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
'And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] Jehovah your God;
8 Mtazitunza amari zangu na kuzifuta. Mimi ndimi Yahweh anayewatenga ninyi muwe watakatifu.
and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying 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.
'For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood [is] on 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 who committeth adultery with a man's wife — who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour — the adulterer and the adulteress are surely 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 who lieth with his father's wife — the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered — both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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 a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law — both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood [is] on 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 a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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 a man who taketh the woman and her mother — it [is] wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.
15 Ikiwa mwanaume analala na mnyama, hakika atauawa, ni lazima mumuue na mnyama huyo pia.
'And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.

'And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it — thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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 a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.
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 a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, — even both of them have been cut off from the midst of 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, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.
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.
'And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.
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 a man who taketh his brother's wife — it [is] impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.
22 Kwa hiyo imewapasa kuzishika amri na sheria zangu zote; ni lazima mzitii ili kwamba ile nchi ambayo ninawaleta kuishi isiwatapike nyinyi.
'And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it;
23 Msienende katika desturi za mataifa ambayo nitayafukuza mbele yenu, ni kwa sababu wamefanya mambo haya yote, nami mimewachukia wao.
and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;
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 say to you, Ye — ye do possess their ground, and I — I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath 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 have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth [on] the ground which I have separated to you for unclean;
26 Mtakuwa watakatifu, kwa kuwa Mimi, Yahweh, ni mtakakatifu, nami nimewatenga nyinyi kutoka kwa watu wengine, kwa kuwa nyinyi ni wangu.
and ye have been holy to Me; for holy [am] I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
27 Mwanaume au mwanamke anayeongea na wafu au anayeongea na roho hakika atauawa. Watu watawaponda kwa mawe. Wanayo hatia na wanastahili kufa.
'And a man or woman — when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who [are] wizards — are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood [is] on them.'
