Mambo ya Walawi 19
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akisema.
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 Zungumza na kusanyiko lote la watu wa Israeli na uwaambie, 'Ni lazima muwe watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi Yahweh Mungu wenu ni mtakatifu.
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: Ye shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy.
3 Kila mtu amstahi mama yake na baba yake. Na ni lazima muzishike Sabato zangu. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and ye shall keep My sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
4 Msizigeukie sanamu zisizo na thamani, wala kujitengenezea wenyewe miungu kutokana na chuma. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Turn ye not unto the idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5 Unapotoa dhabihu za sadaka ya ushirika kwa Yahweh, utatoa ili kupata kibali.
And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.
6 Ni sharti iliwe siku hiyo hiyo uliyoitoa, au siku inayofuata.
It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow; and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.
7 Kama kinabaki kitu cho chote hata siku ya tatu ni lazima kiteketezwe kwa moto. Kama kitaliwa katika siku ya tatu kitakuwa najisi. Hakitakubalika,
And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is a vile thing; it shall not be accepted.
8 lakini kila akilaye ni lazima atachukua hatia yake kwa sababu amekivunjia heshima kilicho kitakatifu kwa Yahweh. Mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.
But every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 Unapovuna mavuno ya ardhi yako, usivune hata pembezo mwa shamba lako kabisa, wala hutakusanya mabaki ya mavuno yako yote.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corner of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.
10 Usikusanye kila zabibu kutoka katika mizabibu yako, wala usiziokote dhabibu zilizoanguka chini katika shamba la mizabibu. Ni lazima uziache kwa ajili ya masikini na kwa ajili ya wageni. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11 Usiibe. Usiseme uongo. Msidanganyane.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.
12 Usiape kwa jina langu kwa uongo na kulinajisi jina la Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh
And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, so that thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13 Usimgandamize jirani yako wala kumwibia. Usishikilie malipo ya kibarua usiku kucha hata asubuhi.
Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, nor rob him; the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 Usimlaani kiziwi au kuweka kikwazo mbele ya kipofu. Badala yake, yakupasa umwogope Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
15 Usisababishe hukumu ikawa ya uongo. Usionyeshe upendeleo kwa mtu fulani eti kwa kuwa tu yeye ni masikini na usionyeshe upendeleo kwa mtu fulani eti kwa kuwa tu yeye ni mtu muhimu. Badala yake, amua juu ya jirani yako kwa haki.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor favour the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Usiende huku na huko ukisema habari za uchochezi miongoni mwa watu wako, bali tafuta kuyalinda maisha ya jirani yako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand idly by the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
17 Usimchukie ndugu yako moyoni mwako. Mkemee jirani yako kwa heshima ili kwamba usishiriki katika dhambi kwa sababu yake.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him.
18 Usijilipize kisasi au kuwa na chuki yoyote dhidi ya mtu yeyote wa watu wako, lakini badala yake mpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
19 Shika amri zangu. Usiwazalishe wanyama wako kwa kutumia wanyama wa aina nyingine tofauti. Usichanganye aina mbili tofauti za mbegu unapopanda shamba lako. Usivae vazi lililofumwa kwa kutumia nyuzi za rangi mbili tofauti zilizochanganywa pamoja.
Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind; thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed; neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
20 Yeyote anayelala na msichana mtumwa aliyeposwa na mume mwingine, lakini ambaye hajakombolewa au hajaachwa huru, lazima waadhibiwe. Hawatauawa kwa sababu yule msichana hakuwa huru.
And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, designated for a man, and not at all redeemed, nor was freedom given her; there shall be inquisition; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 Ni lazima mtu huyo alete sadaka yake ya hatia kwenye ingilio la hema la kukutania—kondoo dume iwe sadaka ya hatia.
And he shall bring his forfeit unto the LORD, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a guilt-offering.
22 Kisha kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake kwa huyo kandoo dume mbele za Yahweh kutokana na dhambi aliyoitenda. Nayo dhambi iliyotendwa itasamehewa.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath sinned.
23 Mtakapoingia katika nchi na kupanda aina zote za miti kwa chakula, kisha mtayahesabu matunda yatakayozaliwa kuwa yamekatazwa kuliwa. Tunda litakatazwa kwako kwa miaka mitatu. Halitaliwa.
And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as forbidden; three years shall it be as forbidden unto you; it shall not be eaten.
24 Lakini katika mwaka wa nne matunda yote yatakuwa matakatiifu, matoleo ya sifa kwa Yahweh.
And in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto the LORD.
25 Katika mwaka wa tano unaweza kula tunda, ambalo umelisubiri ili kwamba mti uweze kuzaa zaidi. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.
But in the fifth year may ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you more richly the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
26 Usile nyama yoyote amabayo damu ingalimo ndani yake. Usiulize kwa roho juu ya wakati ujao,
Ye shall not eat with the blood; neither shall ye practise divination nor soothsaying.
27 Usitafute kuwadhibiti wengine kwa njia ya nguvu za kichawi. Msifuate tabia za kipagani kama vile kunyoa denge au kunyoa pembe za ndevu zeu.
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28 Usiukate mwili wako kwa ajili ya wafu au kuchanja chale juu ya mwili wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor imprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
29 Usimwaibishe binti yako kwa kumfanya kahaba, la sivyo taifa litaangukia kwenye ukahaba na nchi itajawa na uovu.
Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of lewdness.
30 Utazitunza Sabato zangu na kupaheshimu mahali patakatifu pa hema langu la kukutania. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD.
31 Msiwageukie wale wanaoongea na wafu au roho wachafu. msiwatafute, la sivyo watawanajisi ninyi, Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Turn ye not unto the ghosts, nor unto familiar spirits; seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
32 Ni lazima usimame mbele za mtu mwenye mvi na uheshimu uwepo wa mzee. Yakupasa umwegope Mungu wako. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
33 Mgeni anapoishi miongoni mwenu katika nchi yanu, usimtendee lolote lililobaya.
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong.
34 Mgeni anayeishi pamoja nanyi ni lazima awe kama mwenyeji Mwisraeli mzaliwa anayeishi kwenu, na sharti umpende kama unavyojipenda wewe mwenyewe, ni kwa sababu wewe ulikuwa mgeni katika nchi ya Misri. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako.
The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
35 Unapopima urefu, uzito, au wingi usitumie vipimo vya udanganyifu.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36 Tumia mizani iliyo halali, mawe ya kupimia uzito yaliyo halali, efa halali, hini iliyo halali. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako, aliyekutoa katika nchi ya utumwa ya Misri.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Utayatii maagizo yangu na sheria zangu zote na kuzitenda. Mimi ndimi Yahweh.
And ye shall observe all My statutes, and all Mine ordinances, and do them: I am the LORD.
