Leviticus 18
1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.
“Akkana jedhii Israaʼelootatti himi; ‘Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
Isin waan isaan biyya Gibxi, biyya isin keessa jiraachaa turtan sana keessatti hojjetan hin hojjetinaa; waan biyya Kanaʼaan, biyya ani itti isin galchuuf jiru keessatti hojjetamus hin hojjetinaa. Seera isaanii duukaa hin buʼinaa.
4 Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.
Isin seera kootiif ajajamaa; ajaja koos sirriitti eegaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dha.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.
Ajaja koo fi seera koo eegaa; namni isaaniif ajajamu isaaniin jiraataatii; ani Waaqayyo.
6 None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am Jehovah.
“‘Namni kam iyyuu fira dhiigaa kam iyyuu wajjin wal bira gaʼuuf itti hin dhiʼaatin; ani Waaqayyo.
7 The nakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover; it is thy father’s nakedness.

9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
“‘Isheen manuma keettis taʼu yookaan alatti dhalattu illee obboleettii kee, intala abbaa keetii yookaan haadha keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin.
10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.

11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Intala niitii abbaa keetii kan abbaa keetiif dhalatte wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; isheen obboleettii kee ti.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.

13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.

14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
“‘Wal bira gaʼuuf jettee niitii obboleessa abbaa keetiitti dhiʼaattee isa hin salphisin; isheen niitii obboleessa abbaa keetii ti.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.
“‘Niitii obboleessa keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; wanni sun obboleessa kee salphisa.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
“‘Dubartii tokkoo fi intala ishee wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin. Intala ilma dubartii sanaa yookaan intala intala ishee wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; isaan isheedhaaf fira dhiigaa ti; wanni kun jalʼina.
18 And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival [to her], to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her life-time.
“‘Utuu niitiin kee lubbuudhaan jirtuu obboleettii ishee masaanuu ishee gootee hin fuudhin; ishee wajjinis wal bira hin gaʼin.
19 And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

21 And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to make them pass through [the fire] to Molech; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.
“‘Ijoollee kee keessaa tokko illee akka Moolekiif aarsaa taʼaniif hin kennin; ati maqaa Waaqa keetii hin xureessin. Ani Waaqayyo.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
“‘Akka namni dubartii wajjin ciisu ati dhiira wajjin hin ciisin; wanni kun hojii jibbisiisaa dha.
23 And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
“‘Horii kam iyyuu wajjin wal bira geessee of hin xureessin; dubartiin horii wajjin wal bira gaʼuuf ofii ishee itti hin kennin; kun waan karaa irraa goree dha.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;
“‘Sababii namoonni ani ariʼee isin duraa baasuuf jiru kunneen haala kanaan xuraaʼaniif isin karaa kanneen keessaa kamiin iyyuu of hin xureessinaa.
25 and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Lafti iyyuu xuroofteerti; kanaafuu ani sababii cubbuu isheetiifan ishee adabe; laftis jiraattota ishee ni tufti.
26 Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you
Isin garuu ajaja koo fi seera koo eegaa. Dhalataan biyyaatii fi alagoonni isin gidduu jiraatanis waan jibbisiisaa kana keessaa kam iyyuu hin hojjetin.
27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);
Namoonni isiniin dura biyya sana keessa jiraatanis waan kana hunda hojjetanii akkasiin biyyattiin xuroofte.
28 that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
Isinis lafa kana yoo xureessitan, lafti akkuma saboota isin dura turan tufte sana isiniin illee ni tufti.
29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
“‘Namni wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen keessaa tokko illee hojjetu kam iyyuu saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.
30 Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God.
Ajaja koo eegaa; barteewwan jibbisiisoo isin dura hojjetamaa turan sana keessaa tokko illee duukaa buutanii ittiin of hin xureessinaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.’”
