Deuteronomy 22
1 If you see your brother's ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother.
Hautakiwi kumtazama ng’ombe au kondoo wa Muisraeli mwenzako akikosea njia na ukajificha kwao; hakika unapaswa kuwarejesha kwake.
2 If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its owner comes in search of it, and then you are to give it back 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 Do the same with his ass or his robe or anything which has gone from your brother's keeping and which you have come across: do not keep it to yourself.
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 ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.
Haupaswi kumwona punda wa Muisraeli mwenzako au ng’ombe wake kaanguka chini barabarani na kujificha dhidi yao; hakika unapaswa kumsaidia kumwinua tena.
5 It is not right for a woman to be dressed in man's clothing, or for a man to put on a woman's robe: whoever does such things is disgusting 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 by chance you see a place which a bird has made for itself in a tree or on the earth, with young ones or eggs, and the mother bird seated on the young ones or on the eggs, do not take the mother bird 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 See that you let the mother bird go, but the young ones you may take; so it will be well for you and your life will be long.
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 are building a house, make a railing for the roof, so that the blood of any man falling from it will not come on your house.
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 have your vine-garden planted with two sorts of seed: or all of it may become a loss, the seed you have put in as well as the increase.
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 do your ploughing with an ox and an ass yoked together.
Haupaswi kulimia ng’ombe na punda kwa pamoja.
11 Do not have clothing made of two sorts of thread, wool and linen together.
Haupaswi kuvaa kitambaa kilichotengenezwa kwa sufu na kitani kwa pamoja.
12 On the four edges of your robe, with which your body is covered, put ornaments of twisted threads.
Unapaswa kutengeneza pindo katika pembe nne za nguo unayoivaa.
13 If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her,
Iwapo mwanamume kachukua mke, kisha kalala naye, na baadae kumchukia,
14 And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that 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 let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:
Kisha baba na mama mzazi wa binti wanatakiwa kupeleka ushahidi wa ubikra wake kwa wazee mlangoni mwa mji.
16 And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;
Baba wa binti anapaswa kuwaambia wazee, “nilimpatia binti yangu kwa mwanamume huyu awe mkewe, naye anamchukia.
17 And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town.
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 responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;
Wazee wa mji wanapaswa kumchukua mwanamume huyo na kumuadhibu;
19 They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.
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 But if what he has said is true, and she is seen to be not a virgin,
Ila kama jambo hili ni la kweli, kwamba ushahidi wa bikra ya binti haukupatikana,
21 Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away 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 taken in the act of going in to a married woman, the two of them, the man as well as the woman, are to be put to death: so you are to put away 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 a young virgin has given her word to be married to a man, and another man meeting her in the town, has connection with her;
Iwapo kuna msichana bikra, ambaye amechumbiwa na mwanamume, kisha mwanamume mwingine kamkuta mjini na kulala naye,
24 Then you are to take the two of them to the doorway of the town, and have them stoned to death; the young virgin, because she gave no cry for help, though it was in the town, and the man, because he has put shame on his neighbour's wife: so you are to put away 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, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;
Lakini kama mwanamume amemkuta msichana aliyechumbiwa shambani, na kama akamkamata na kulala naye, basi mwanamume pekee aliyelala naye ndiye lazima afe.
26 Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:
Lakini kwake msichana msifanye chochote; hakuna dhambi inayostahili kifo kwake msichana. Kwa maana suala hili ni kama mwanamume amshambuliapo jirani yake na kumuua.
27 For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.
Kwa maana alimkuta shambani; msichana huyu aliyechumbiwa alipaza sauti, lakini hapakuwa na mtu wa kumuokoa.
28 If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;
Iwapo mwanamume amemkuta msichana ambaye ni bikra lakini hajachumbiwa, na kama akamkamata na kulala naye, na kama wakagundulika,
29 Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.
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 may not take his father's wife or have sex relations with a woman who is his father's.
Mwanamume hapaswi kumchukua mke wa baba yake kama wake; hatakiwi kuchukua haki za ndoa za baba yake.
