Torati 22

1 Hautakiwi kumtazama ng’ombe au kondoo wa Muisraeli mwenzako akikosea njia na ukajificha kwao; hakika unapaswa kuwarejesha kwake.

You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely bring them again to your 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.

If your brother isn't near to you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall 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.

So you shall do with his donkey; and so you shall do with his garment; and so you shall do with every lost thing of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found: you may not hide yourself.

4 Haupaswi kumwona punda wa Muisraeli mwenzako au ng’ombe wake kaanguka chini barabarani na kujificha dhidi yao; hakika unapaswa kumsaidia kumwinua tena.

You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall 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 men's clothing, neither shall a man put on women's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah your 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 you in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen 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.

you shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your 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 you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you do not bring blood on your house, if any man fall from there.

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.

You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

10 Haupaswi kulimia ng’ombe na punda kwa pamoja.

You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11 Haupaswi kuvaa kitambaa kilichotengenezwa kwa sufu na kitani kwa pamoja.

You shall not wear a mixed stuff, wool and linen together.

12 Unapaswa kutengeneza pindo katika pembe nne za nguo unayoivaa.

You shall make yourselves fringes on the four borders of your cloak, with which you cover yourself.

13 Iwapo mwanamume kachukua mke, kisha kalala naye, na baadae kumchukia,

If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates 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 accuses her of shameful things, and brings up an evil name on her, and says, "I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find 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 young woman, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the young woman's virginity to 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 young woman's father shall tell the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates 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 look, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, 'I did not find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;' and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity." They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

18 Wazee wa mji wanapaswa kumchukua mwanamume huyo na kumuadhibu;

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 one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought up an evil name on 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 young woman;

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 young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father's house: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

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 who lay with the woman, and the woman: so you shall 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 is a young woman who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, 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 you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the woman, because she did not cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

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 woman who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only who 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 to the woman you shall do nothing; there is in the woman no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills 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 pledged to be married woman 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 woman who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, 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 who lay with her shall give to the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has 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.
