1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Aliyejeruhika konde, au aliyekatika tupu yake, asiingie mtu huyo katika mkutano wa Bwana.
2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Mwana wa haramu asiingie katika mkutano wa Bwana; hata kizazi cha kumi asiingie aliye wake katika mkutano wa Bwana.
3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
Mwamoni wala Mmoabi wasiingie katika mkutano wa Bwana; wala hata kizazi cha kumi mtu wao asiingie katika mkutano wa Bwana milele;
4 because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
kwa sababu hapo mlipotoka Misri hawakuwalaki na chakula wala maji njiani; na kwa kuwa walimwajiri juu yako Balaamu mwana wa Beori kutoka Pethori iliyo Mesopotamia, aje akuapize.
5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
Lakini Bwana, Mungu wako, hakukubali kumsikiza huyo Balaamu; Bwana, Mungu wako, aliyageuza yale maapizo kuwa ni baraka, kwa vile alivyokupenda Bwana, Mungu wako.
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
Usitafute amani yao wala heri yao siku zako zote, milele.
7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
Usimchukie Mwedomi; kwa kuwa ni ndugu yako; usimchukie Mmisri, kwa kuwa ulikuwa mgeni katika nchi yake.
8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
Wana wao watakaozaliwa kizazi cha tatu na waingie katika mkutano wa Bwana.
9 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
Utakapotoka kwenda juu ya adui zako nawe u katika marago, jilinde na kila neno baya.
10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
Akiwa kwenu mtu awaye yote asiyekuwa ni tohara kwa ajili ya yaliyomtukia usiku, na atoke nje ya kituo, wala asiingie ndani ya kituo;
11 but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again .
lakini na iwe ikaribiapo jioni, yeye ataoga maji; na jua likiisha kuchwa ataingia ndani ya kituo.
12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
Tena uwe na mahali nje ya kituo, kwa kutokea nje;
13 and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
nawe uwe na jembe dogo katika silaha zako; napo uotamapo nje uchimbe kwa lile jembe, na kugeuka na kukifunika kikutokacho;
14 for the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
kwa kuwa Bwana. Mungu wako, yuatembea katika kituo akuokoe, na kukutolea adui zako mbele yako; kwa hiyo na kiwe kitakatifu kituo chako; asije akaona kitu kwako kisichokuwa safi, akageuka na kukuacha.
15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
Usimrudishe kwa bwana wake mtumwa aliyejiponya kutoka kwa bwana wake kuja kwako;
16 he shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
na akae nawe, katikati yako, ndani ya malango yako mojawapo, mahali atakapochagua palipo pema machoni pake; usimwonee.
17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Pasiwe na kahaba katika binti za Israeli, wala pasiwe na hanithi katika wana wa Israeli wanaume.
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Usilete ujira wa kahaba, wala mshahara wa mbwa, katika nyumba ya Bwana, Mungu wako, kwa ajili ya nadhiri yo yote; kwani haya ni machukizo kwa Bwana, Mungu wako, yote mawili.
19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
Usimkopeshe ndugu yako kwa riba; riba ya fedha, riba ya vyakula, riba ya kitu cho chote kikopeshwacho kwa riba;
20 unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
mgeni waweza kumkopesha kwa riba, ila usimkopeshe ndugu yako kwa riba; ili Bwana, Mungu wako, apate kukubarikia katika yote utiayo mkono wako, katika nchi uingiayo kuimiliki.
21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
Utakapoweka nadhiri kwa Bwana, Mungu wako, usiwe mlegevu katika kuiondoa; kwa kuwa Bwana, Mungu wako, hataacha kuitaka kwako; nayo hivi itakuwa dhambi kwako.
22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
Lakini ukijizuia usiweke nadhiri, haitakuwa dhambi kwako.
23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
Yaliyotoka midomoni mwako yashike kuyafanya; kwa mfano wa ulivyomwekea nadhiri Bwana, Mungu wako, ni sadaka ya hiari uliyoahidi kwa kinywa chako.
24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
Uingiapo katika shamba la mizabibu la jirani yako, utaweza kula zabibu za kukushibisha, kama upendavyo; ila usitie katika chombo chako.
25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
Uingiapo katika mmea wa jirani yako waweza kuyapurura masuke kwa mkono wako; ila usisongeze mundu katika mmea wa jirani yako.
