Deuteronomy 22
1 If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.
Hautakiwi kumtazama ng’ombe au kondoo wa Muisraeli mwenzako akikosea njia na ukajificha kwao; hakika unapaswa kuwarejesha kwake.
2 If your brother does not live near you, or if you do not know who he is, you are to take the animal home to remain with you until your brother comes seeking it; then you can return it to him.
Iwapo Muisraeli mwenzako hayupo karibu nawe, au kama haumfahamu, basi unapaswa kumleta mnyama huyo nyumbani kwako, na lazima uwe naye mpaka pale mwenyewe atakapomtafuta, na kisha lazima umrejeshee mwenyewe.
3 And you shall do the same for his donkey, his cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.
Unapaswa kufanya vivyo hivyo kwa punda wake; unapaswa kufanya vivyo hivyo na vazi lake; unapaswa kufanya vivyo hivyo kwa kila kitu alichopoteza Muisraeli mwenzako, kitu chochote alichopoteza na ukakipata; hautakiwi kujificha.
4 If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not ignore it; you must help him lift it up.
Haupaswi kumwona punda wa Muisraeli mwenzako au ng’ombe wake kaanguka chini barabarani na kujificha dhidi yao; hakika unapaswa kumsaidia kumwinua tena.
5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
Mwanamke hatakiwi kuvaa kinachokusudiwa kwa mwanamume, vilevile mwanamume hapaswi kuvaa mavazi ya mwanamke; kwa maana yeyote afanyaye vitu hivi ni chukizo kwa Yahwe Mungu wako.
6 If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young.
Iwapo kiota cha ndege kikaonekana barabarani mbele yako, kwenye mti wowote au juu ya ardhi, kikiwa na makinda ya ndege au mayai ndani mwake, na mama yao akiwa juu yao au juu ya mayai, haupaswi kumchukua mama pamoja na makinda au mayai yake.
7 You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.
Hakika unapaswa kumuacha mama aende zake, ila makinda yake unaweza kuyachukua. Tii amri hii ili uenende vyema, na siku zako ziweze kurefushwa.
8 If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.
Ujengapo nyumba mpya, basi unapaswa kujenga kitalu kwa ajili ya paa yako ili usilete damu juu ya nyumba yako mtu akianguka kutoka pale.
9 Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; if you do, the entire harvest will be defiled —both the crop you plant and the fruit of your vineyard.
Haupaswi kupanda shamba lako la mizabibu kwa mbegu mbili, ili kwamba mavuno yote yasichukuliwe na sehemu takatifu, mbegu uliyoipanda pamoja na matunda ya mzabibu.
10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
Haupaswi kulimia ng’ombe na punda kwa pamoja.
11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
Haupaswi kuvaa kitambaa kilichotengenezwa kwa sufu na kitani kwa pamoja.
12 You are to make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
Unapaswa kutengeneza pindo katika pembe nne za nguo unayoivaa.
13 Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,
Iwapo mwanamume kachukua mke, kisha kalala naye, na baadae kumchukia,
14 and he then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin.”
na kisha kumtuhumu kwa vitu vya aibu na kumharibia sifa yake kwa kusema, “Nilimchukua huyu mwanamke, lakini nilipomkaribia sikukuta ushahidi waubikra kwake”.
15 Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate
Kisha baba na mama mzazi wa binti wanatakiwa kupeleka ushahidi wa ubikra wake kwa wazee mlangoni mwa mji.
16 and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.
Baba wa binti anapaswa kuwaambia wazee, “nilimpatia binti yangu kwa mwanamume huyu awe mkewe, naye anamchukia.
17 And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
Tazama, amemtuhumu na vitu vya aibu na kusema, “Sikukuta ushahidi wa ubikra kwa binti yako”. Lakini ushahidi huu hapa wa ubikra wa binti yangu”. Kisha watatandaza shuka mbele ya wazee wa mji.
18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
Wazee wa mji wanapaswa kumchukua mwanamume huyo na kumuadhibu;
19 They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
nao wanapaswa kumtoza faini ya shekeli mia moja ya fedha, na kumpatia baba wa binti, kwa sababu mwanamume kasababisha sifa mbaya kwa bikra wa Israeli. Binti huyu anapaswa kuwa mke wake; mwanamume huyu hatakiwi kumfukuza katika siku zake zote.
20 If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,
Ila kama jambo hili ni la kweli, kwamba ushahidi wa bikra ya binti haukupatikana,
21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.
basi wanapaswa kumpeleka binti mlangoni kwa baba yake, na kisha wanamume wa mji wake wanatakiwa kumpiga kwa mawe hadi afe, kwa sababu amefanya jambo la aibu katika Israeli, kwa kutenda kama kahaba chini ya nyumba ya baba yake, nanyi mtakuwa mmeondoa uovu miongoni mwenu.
22 If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
Iwapo mwanamume kakutwa analala na mwanamke ambaye ni mke wa mtu, basi wote wanapaswa kufa, mwanamume aliyelala na mwanamke pamoja na mwanamke mwenyewe; nanyi mtakuwa mmeondoa uovu miongoni mwenu.
23 If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,
Iwapo kuna msichana bikra, ambaye amechumbiwa na mwanamume, kisha mwanamume mwingine kamkuta mjini na kulala naye,
24 you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.
wachukueni wote wawili malangoni mwa mji, na kuwapiga mawe. Unapaswa kumpiga msichana mawe, kwa sababu hakupaza sauti kuomba msaada, ingawa alikuwa ndani ya mji. Unapaswa kumpiga mwanamume mawe, kwa sababu amemwingilia mke wa jirani yake; nanyi mtakuwa mmeondoa uovu miongoni mwenu
25 But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die.
Lakini kama mwanamume amemkuta msichana aliyechumbiwa shambani, na kama akamkamata na kulala naye, basi mwanamume pekee aliyelala naye ndiye lazima afe.
26 Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.
Lakini kwake msichana msifanye chochote; hakuna dhambi inayostahili kifo kwake msichana. Kwa maana suala hili ni kama mwanamume amshambuliapo jirani yake na kumuua.
27 When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.
Kwa maana alimkuta shambani; msichana huyu aliyechumbiwa alipaza sauti, lakini hapakuwa na mtu wa kumuokoa.
28 If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
Iwapo mwanamume amemkuta msichana ambaye ni bikra lakini hajachumbiwa, na kama akamkamata na kulala naye, na kama wakagundulika,
29 then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.
basi mwanamume aliyelala naye lazima atoe shekeli hamsini za fedha kwa baba wa msichana, naye lazima awe mke wake, kwa sababu amemdhalilisha. Hatakiwi kumfukuza katika siku zake zote.
30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
Mwanamume hapaswi kumchukua mke wa baba yake kama wake; hatakiwi kuchukua haki za ndoa za baba yake.
