Torati 22
1 Hautakiwi kumtazama ng’ombe au kondoo wa Muisraeli mwenzako akikosea njia na ukajificha kwao; hakika unapaswa kuwarejesha kwake.
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep driven away, and hide thyself from them; thou shalt surely bring them back unto thy brother.
2 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.
And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, and thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it home to thy house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother require it, and thou shalt restore it to him.
3 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.
And so shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his garment; and so shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found; thou mayest not hide thyself.
4 Haupaswi kumwona punda wa Muisraeli mwenzako au ng’ombe wake kaanguka chini barabarani na kujificha dhidi yao; hakika unapaswa kumsaidia kumwinua tena.
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them; thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
5 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.
A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
6 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.
If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young;
7 Hakika unapaswa kumuacha mama aende zake, ila makinda yake unaweza kuyachukua. Tii amri hii ili uenende vyema, na siku zako ziweze kurefushwa.
thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, but the young thou mayest take unto thyself; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
8 Ujengapo nyumba mpya, basi unapaswa kujenga kitalu kwa ajili ya paa yako ili usilete damu juu ya nyumba yako mtu akianguka kutoka pale.
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any man fall from thence.
9 Haupaswi kupanda shamba lako la mizabibu kwa mbegu mbili, ili kwamba mavuno yote yasichukuliwe na sehemu takatifu, mbegu uliyoipanda pamoja na matunda ya mzabibu.
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed; lest the fulness of the seed which thou hast sown be forfeited together with the increase of the vineyard.
10 Haupaswi kulimia ng’ombe na punda kwa pamoja.
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11 Haupaswi kuvaa kitambaa kilichotengenezwa kwa sufu na kitani kwa pamoja.
Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together.
12 Unapaswa kutengeneza pindo katika pembe nne za nguo unayoivaa.
Thou shalt make thee twisted cords upon the four corners of thy covering, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
13 Iwapo mwanamume kachukua mke, kisha kalala naye, na baadae kumchukia,
If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 na kisha kumtuhumu kwa vitu vya aibu na kumharibia sifa yake kwa kusema, “Nilimchukua huyu mwanamke, lakini nilipomkaribia sikukuta ushahidi waubikra kwake”.
and lay wanton charges against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say: 'I took this woman, and when I came nigh to her, I found not in her the tokens of virginity';
15 Kisha baba na mama mzazi wa binti wanatakiwa kupeleka ushahidi wa ubikra wake kwa wazee mlangoni mwa mji.
then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate.
16 Baba wa binti anapaswa kuwaambia wazee, “nilimpatia binti yangu kwa mwanamume huyu awe mkewe, naye anamchukia.
And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders: 'I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17 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.
and, lo, he hath laid wanton charges, saying: I found not in thy daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.' And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
18 Wazee wa mji wanapaswa kumchukua mwanamume huyo na kumuadhibu;
And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.
19 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.
And they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 Ila kama jambo hili ni la kweli, kwamba ushahidi wa bikra ya binti haukupatikana,
But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel;
21 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.
then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die; because she hath wrought a wanton deed in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house; so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
22 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.
If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so shalt thou put away the evil from Israel.
23 Iwapo kuna msichana bikra, ambaye amechumbiwa na mwanamume, kisha mwanamume mwingine kamkuta mjini na kulala naye,
If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto a man, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24 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
then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die: the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; so thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
25 Lakini kama mwanamume amemkuta msichana aliyechumbiwa shambani, na kama akamkamata na kulala naye, basi mwanamume pekee aliyelala naye ndiye lazima afe.
But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man take hold of her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die.
26 Lakini kwake msichana msifanye chochote; hakuna dhambi inayostahili kifo kwake msichana. Kwa maana suala hili ni kama mwanamume amshambuliapo jirani yake na kumuua.
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter.
27 Kwa maana alimkuta shambani; msichana huyu aliyechumbiwa alipaza sauti, lakini hapakuwa na mtu wa kumuokoa.
For he found her in the field; the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28 Iwapo mwanamume amemkuta msichana ambaye ni bikra lakini hajachumbiwa, na kama akamkamata na kulala naye, na kama wakagundulika,
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 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.
then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.
30 Mwanamume hapaswi kumchukua mke wa baba yake kama wake; hatakiwi kuchukua haki za ndoa za baba yake.
A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
