Leviticus 20
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
2 “Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Onye Izrel ọbụla maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla bi nʼetiti unu, nke weere nwa ya nye maka ịchụrụ Molek aja, aghaghị ime ka ọ nwụọ. Ndị mmadụ ga-ewere nkume tugbuo ya.
3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Mụ onwe m ga-emegide onye ahụ, bipụ ya site nʼetiti ndị ya, nʼihi na o merụọla ebe nsọ m, mee ka aha m gharakwa ịdị nsọ, site nʼiji ụmụ ya chụọrọ Molek aja.
4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,
Ọ bụrụ na ndị obodo elezie anya mee omume dịka a ga-asị na ha amaghị ihe onye ahụ mere, hapụkwa igbu ya, mgbe o were otu nʼime ụmụ ya nye Molek,
5 then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
mụ onwe m ga-emegide onye ahụ na ezinaụlọ ya bipụ ha site nʼetiti ndị ya. Otu a kwa ka m ga-eme ya na ndị niile so ya merụọ onwe ha site nʼife arụsị Molek.
6 “‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
“‘Aga m edo ihu m megide onye ọbụla gara jụọ ase site nʼaka mmụọ ọjọọ, maọbụ onye gara na dibịa afa gbaa afa, site nʼiso ha kwaa iko. Aga m ekewapụ onye ahụ site nʼetiti ndị ya.
7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God.
“‘Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, ma dịkwanụ nsọ nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
Debenụ ụkpụrụ m niile, ma gbasoonụ ha nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo unu nsọ.
9 “‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
“‘Onye ọbụla kọchara nne ya maọbụ nna ya ka a ga-egbu nʼihi na ọ kọchara nne na nna ya. Ọbara onye dị otu a ga-adịkwa ya nʼisi.
10 “‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla edinakwuru nwunye nwoke ọzọ, ya bụ nwunye onye agbataobi ya, nwoke ahụ na nwanyị kwara iko ka a ga-egbu.
11 “‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Nwoke ọbụla ya na nwunye nna ya dinakọrọ nwe mmekọ, emerụọla nna ya. A ga-egbu nwoke ahụ na nwanyị ahụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
12 “‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla edinakwuru nwunye nwa ya, wetara onwe ha ikpe ọmụma, a ga-egbu ha abụọ nʼihi na ọ bụ arụ ka ha mere.
13 “‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
“‘Ọ bụrụ nwoke na nwoke ibe ya edinakọọ nwee ụdị mmekọ edina nwoke na nwanyị, a ga-egbu ha abụọ nʼihi na ihe ha mere bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
14 “‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke alụọ nwanyị na nne mụrụ ya, ajọ ihe ka ọ bụ. Nwoke ahụ na ndị inyom ndị ahụ ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ, ka ihe ọjọọ dị otu a hapụ ịdị nʼetiti unu.
15 “‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke na anụmanụ enwee mmekọrịta, a ga-egbu nwoke ahụ gbukwaa anụmanụ ahụ.
16 “‘If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ọbụla abịaruo anụmanụ ọbụla nso dinakwuru ya inwe mmekọ, a ga-egbu nwanyị ahụ na anụmanụ ahụ, nʼihi na ha kwesiri ọnwụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
17 “‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.
“‘Nwoke ọbụla ya na nwanne ya nwanyị nwere mmekọ edina, maọbụ nwa afọ nne ya maọbụ nwa nwunye nna ya, a ga-ekpochapụ ha site nʼihu ọha mmadụ nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe ihere dị ukwuu ka ha mere. Ọ merụọla nwanne ya, nʼihi ya ikpe ọmụma dị ya nʼisi.
18 “‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
“‘Nwoke ọbụla nke ya na nwanyị nọ na nsọ nwanyị ya dinakọrọ nwee mmekọ ekpugheela adịghị ọcha nwanyị ahụ. Nwanyị ahụ nʼonwe ya ekpugheekwala adịghị ọcha nke ya. A ga-ebipụ ha abụọ site nʼetiti ndị ha.
19 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.
“‘Ị gaghị enwe mmekọ edina nʼetiti gị na nwanne nwanyị nne gị maọbụ nwanne nwanyị nna gị, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe nleda anya nye onye ọbara jịkọrọ gị na ya. Ikpe ọmụma ga-adịrị unu abụọ.
20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla na nwunye nwanne nna ya edinaa, ọ bụ omume ileda anya nye nwanne nna ya. Ha ga-ebu mmehie ha. Ha ga-anwụ na-amụtaghị nwa.
21 “‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke alụọ nwunye nwanne ya, ọ bụ omume rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe nleda anya nye nwanne ya. Ha ga-agba aka nwa.
22 “‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
“‘Debenụ iwu ndị a na ụkpụrụ ndị a, ma gbasoonụ ha ka ala ahụ m na-eduba unu nʼime ya hapụ imeghe ọnụ ya gbụpụ unu.
23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Unu agbasola omenaala ndị mba niile a m na-achụpụ site nʼala m na-enye unu, nʼihi na ha na-eme ihe ndị a niile m nyere unu nʼiwu emela. Ọ bụ nke a mere ihe banyere ha ji sọọ m oyi.
24 But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
Ma agwala m unu sị, “Unu ga-eketa ala ha. Aga m enye ya unu ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa unu. Ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.” Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu onye kewapụtara unu doo unu iche site na mba ndị ọzọ niile.
25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
“‘Unu aghaghị ịkpa oke nʼetiti anụmanụ ndị dị ọcha iri eri, na anụmanụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha, na nʼetiti anụ ufe dị ọcha iri eri na ndị rụrụ arụ. Unu emerụla onwe unu site nʼiri anụmanụ maọbụ anụ ufe, maọbụ ihe ọzọ na-akpụgharị nʼala, ndị ahụ m kewapụrụ iche dịka ihe rụrụ arụ.
26 You shall be holy to me, for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
Unu ga-adị nsọ nye m, nʼihi na mụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị, dị nsọ. Ekewapụtala m unu, doo unu iche, site nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ niile, ka unu bụrụ nke m.
27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”
“‘A ga-eji nkume tugbuo nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla nke na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase, maọbụ dibịa afa nọ nʼetiti unu ka ọ nwụọ. Ọbara ha ga-adịkwa ha nʼisi.’”
