Marriage
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
Nena wewe na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
Nanyi msifanye matendo kama yale ya nchi ya Misri mliyokaa; wala msifanye matendo kama yale ya nchi ya Kanaani, nitakayowapeleka; wala msiende katika amri zao hao.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
Mtazifanya hukumu zangu, nanyi mtazishika amri zangu, ili mwenende katika hizo; mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
Kwa ajili ya hayo mtazishika amri zangu na hukumu zangu; ambazo mtu akizitumia ataishi kwa hizo; mimi ndimi Bwana.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
Mtu ye yote aliye wa kwenu asimkaribie mwenziwe aliye wa jamaa yake ya karibu ili kumfunua utupu; mimi ndimi Bwana.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Utupu wa baba yako, wala utupu wa mama yako, usifunue, maana ndiye mama yako; usifunue utupu wake.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
Utupu wa mke wa baba yako, usifunue; maana, ni utupu wa baba yako.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
Utupu wa umbu lako, binti ya baba yako, au binti ya mama yako, kwamba alizaliwa nyumbani mwenu au kwamba alizaliwa kwengine, utupu wa hao usifunue.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for their's is thine own nakedness.
Utupu wa binti ya mwanao mume, au wa binti ya binti yako, utupu wao hao usifunue; kwa kuwa ndio utupu wako mwenyewe.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Utupu wa binti ya mkewe baba yako, aliyezaliwa na baba yako, yeye ni umbu lako, usifunue utupu wake.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
Usifunue utupu wa umbu lake baba yako; maana, yeye ni jamaa aliye karibu.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
Usifunue utupu wa umbu la mama yako; maana, yeye ni jamaa ya mama yako ya karibu.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
Usifunue utupu wa ndugu ya baba yako, usimkaribie mkewe huyo; yeye ni shangazi lako.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Usifunue utupu wa mkweo mwanamke; yeye ni mke wa mwanao; usifunue utupu wake huyo.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
Usifunue utupu wa mke wa nduguyo; maana, ni utupu wa nduguyo.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
Usifunue utupu wa mwanamke na binti yake; usimtwae binti ya mwanawe mume, au binti ya binti yake, ili kufunua utupu wake; hao ni jamaa ya karibu; ni uovu mkuu.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her , to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time .
Wala usitwae mwanamke pamoja na nduguye, awe mtesi wake, na kufunua utupu wake, huyo wa pili atakapokuwa yu hai.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Nawe usimkaribie mwanamke kufunua utupu wake wakati wa kutengwa kwa ajili ya unajisi wake.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
Usilale na mke wa mwenzio, ukajitia unajisi naye.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Nawe usitoe kizazi chako cho chote na kuwapisha kwa Moleki, wala usilinajisi jina la Mungu wako; mimi ndimi Bwana.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Usilale na mwanamume mfano wa kulala na mwanamke; ni machukizo.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Wala usilale na mnyama ye yote, ili kujitia unajisi kwake; wala mwanamke asisimame mbele ya mnyama ili kulala naye; ni uchafuko.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Msijitie unajisi katika mambo hayo hata mojawapo; kwa maana hizo taifa nitakazozitoa mbele zenu zimekuwa najisi kwa mambo hayo yote;
25 and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
na hiyo nchi imekuwa najisi; kwa ajili ya hayo naipatiliza uovu wake juu yake, na hiyo nchi yatapika wenyeji wake na kuwatoa.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Kwa hiyo mtazishika amri zangu na hukumu zangu, wala msifanye machukizo hayo mojawapo; yeye aliye mzalia, wala mgeni aketiye kati yenu;
27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
(kwa kuwa hao watu wa nchi wameyafanya machukizo haya yote, hao waliotangulia mbele zenu, na hiyo nchi imekuwa najisi;)
28 that the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
ili kwamba hiyo nchi isiwatapike na ninyi pia, hapo mtakapoitia unajisi, kama ilivyoitapika hiyo taifa iliyotangulia mbele yenu.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
Kwani mtu awaye yote atakayefanya machukizo hayo mojawapo, nafsi hizo zitakazoyafanya zitakatiliwa mbali na watu wao.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
Kwa ajili ya hayo yashikeni mausia yangu, ili kwamba msifanye kabisa desturi hizi zichukizazo mojawapo, zilizotangulia kufanywa mbele zenu, wala msijitie unajisi katika mambo hayo; mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.
