1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa, na kumwambia,
2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Tena uwaambie wana wa Israeli, Mtu awaye yote miongoni mwa wana wa Israeli, au miongoni mwa wageni waketio katika Israeli, atakayetoa katika kizazi chake na kumpa Moleki, sharti atauawa; wenyeji wa nchi watampiga kwa mawe.
3 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, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Mimi nami nitamkazia uso wangu mtu huyo, nami nitamkatilia mbali na watu wake; kwa kuwa ametoa katika kizazi chake na kumpa Moleki, ili kupatia unajisi patakatifu pangu, na kulinajisi jina langu takatifu.
4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
Tena kama wenyeji wa nchi wakimfumbia macho mtu huyo kwa njia yo yote, hapo atoapo katika kizazi chake na kumpa Moleki, wasimwue;
5 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.
ndipo mimi nitamkazia uso wangu mtu huyo, na jamaa zake, nami nitamkatilia mbali, na hao wote wamwandamao katika uzinifu, ili kufanya uzinifu pamoja na Moleki, watengwe mbali na watu wao.
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
Na mtu yule atakayewaendea wenye pepo, na wachawi, ili kuzini pamoja nao, nitakaza uso wangu juu ya mtu yule, nitamtenga na watu wake.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
Jitakaseni basi, iweni watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu.
8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
Nanyi zishikeni sheria zangu, na kuzitenda; Mimi ndimi Bwana niwatakasaye ninyi.
9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
Kwa maana kila mtu amlaaniye baba yake au mama yake hakika atauawa, amemlaani baba yake na mama yake; damu yake itakuwa juu yake.
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
Na mtu aziniye na mke wa mtu mwingine, naam, yeye aziniye na mke wa jirani yake, mtu mume aziniye, na mwanamke aziniye, hakika watauawa.
11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Na mtu mume atakayelala pamoja na mke wa baba yake amefunua utupu wa baba yake; wote wawili hakika watauawa; damu yao itakuwa juu yao.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
Na mtu mume akilala na mkwewe mwanamke wote wawili hakika watauawa; wamefanya yaliyo uchafuko; damu yao itakuwa juu yao.
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Tena mtu mume akilala pamoja na mtu mume, kama alalavyo na mtu mke, wote wawili wamefanya machukizo; hakika watauawa; damu yao itakuwa juu yao.
14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
Tena mtu mume akimwoa mke pamoja na mama yake, ni uovu mkuu; watachomwa moto, yeye mume na hao wanawake pia; ili kwamba usiwe uovu kati yenu.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
Tena mtu mume akilala na mnyama, hakika atauawa; nanyi mtamwua huyo mnyama.
16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Tena mwanamke akimkaribia mnyama ye yote, na kulala pamoja naye, mtamwua huyo mwanamke, na mnyama pia; hakika watauawa; damu yao itakuwa ni juu yao.
17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
Tena mtu mume akimwoa umbu lake, binti ya baba yake, au binti ya mama yake, na kuuona utupu wake, na huyo mwanamke kauona utupu wake huyo mume; ni jambo la aibu; watakatiliwa mbali mbele ya macho ya wana wa watu wao; amefunua utupu wa umbu lake; naye atauchukua uovu wake.
18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
Tena mtu mume akilala na mwanamke aliye na ugonjwa wake, na kufunua utupu wake; amelifunua jito la damu yake, naye mwanamke amefunua jito la damu yake; wote wawili watakatiliwa mbali na watu wao.
19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
Usifunue utupu wa umbu la mama yako, wala umbu la baba yako; kwa kuwa huyo amefunua utupu wa jamaa yake ya karibu; watauchukua uovu wao.
20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
Tena mtu mume akilala na mke wa mjomba wake, ameufunua utupu wa mjomba wake; watauchukua uovu wao; watakufa bila kuzaa mwana.
21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
Tena mtu mume akimtwaa mke wa nduguye, ni uchafu; ameufunua utupu wa nduguye; hao watakuwa hawana wana.
22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
Basi zishikeni amri zangu zote, na hukumu zangu zote, na kuzifanya; ili kwamba hiyo nchi, ambayo nawapeleka ninyi kukaa, isiwatapike.
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Nanyi msiende kwa kuziandama desturi za taifa, niitoayo mbele yenu; kwa kuwa wao waliyafanya mambo hayo yote, na kwa ajili ya hayo niliwachukia.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
Lakini mimi nimewaambia ninyi, Mtairithi nchi yao, nami nitawapa ninyi kuimiliki; nchi iliyojaa maziwa na asali; mimi ni Bwana, Mungu wenu, niliyewatenga ninyi na mataifa.
25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
Kwa ajili ya hayo mtapambanua kati ya mnyama aliye safi na mnyama aliye najisi, na kati ya ndege aliye tohara na ndege aliye najisi; nanyi msizifanye nafsi zenu kuwa machukizo kwa njia ya mnyama, au kwa njia ya ndege, au kwa njia ya kitu cho chote ambacho nchi imejaa nacho, niliowatenga nanyi kuwa ni najisi.
26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
Nanyi mtakuwa watakatifu kwangu mimi; kwa kuwa mimi Bwana ni mtakatifu nami nimewatenga ninyi na mataifa, ili kwamba mwe wangu.
27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
Tena mtu mume au mtu mke aliye na pepo, au aliye mchawi, hakika atauawa; watawapiga kwa mawe; damu yao itakuwa juu yao.
