Leviticus 18
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.
Israel kaminawk khaeah, Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
3 You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.
Na oh o haih, Izip prae ah na sak o ih hmuen baktiah sah o hmah; kang hoih o ih, Kanaan prae kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuen baktiah doeh sah o hmah; nihcae ih tuinuen doeh awt o hmah.
4 You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.
Ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh loe, kang paek ih loknawk to pazui oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh.
5 Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.
Kang paek o ih loknawk hoi ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh; pazui kami loe a pazuihaih rang hoiah hing tih; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
6 None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.
Mi kawbaktih doeh athii kanghnai kami hoiah nongpa nongpata zaehaih to sah hmah; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
7 You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.
Nam pa ih zu ah kaom, nam no hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam no ah oh pongah, nam no hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.
8 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.
Nam pa ih zu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam pa ih zu ah ni oh.
9 You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
Na tanu hoiah zaehaih sah hmah; na imthung ah tapen maw, to tih ai boeh loe ahmuen kalah ah tapen maw, nam pa ih canu, nam no ih canu hoiah, zaehaih to sah hmah.
10 You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.
Nam capa ih canu, na canu ih canu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nangmah ih athii angan ah ni oh.
11 You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
Nam pa hoi nam no mah sak ih canu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe na tanu ah ni oh.
12 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.
Nam pa ih tanu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam pa hoi athii kanghnai kami ah ni oh.
13 You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.
Nam no ih amnawk hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam no hoi athii kanghnai canawk ah oh.
14 You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.
Nam pa amnawk ih zu hoiah zaehaih sak hanah anih to paang hmah; anih loe nam no ah ni oh.
15 You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sexual relations with her.
Na langah hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe na capa ih zu ah ni oh; anih hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.
16 You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.
Nam nawk zu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam nawk ih zu ni.
17 You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.
Nongpata maeto hoi a canu to nawnto zae haih hmaek hmah; to nongpata capa ih canu hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe to nongpata canu ih canu patoeng hoiah maw, zaehaih to sah hmah; nihcae loe athii kanghnai canawk ah ni oh o.
18 You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.
Na zu ih amnawk to zu ah la hmah; na zu to hing vop pongah, na zu ih amnawk hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.
19 You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.
Nongpata loe athii hnuk moe, ciimcai ai ah oh nathuem ah iihaih hanah anih taengah caeh hmah.
20 You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.
Nangmah hoi nangmah amhnong hanah, na imtaeng kami hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.
21 You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
Angbawnhaih sak hanah kawbaktih na caa doeh Molek khaeah paek hmah; na Sithaw ahmin to panuet thok ah sah hmah; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.
22 You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.
Nongpata hoi nawnto iih baktih toengah, nongpa hoi nawnto iip hmah; to loe panuet thok hmuen ah oh.
23 You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.
Nangmah hoi nangmah amhnong hanah, kahing moi hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; nongpata mah zaehaih sak hanah kahing moi khaeah ang paek han om ai; to hmuen loe panuet thoh moe, katoeng loklam hoi amkhraenghaih ah ni oh.
24 Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.
Hae baktih hmuen sakhaih hoiah nangmah hoi nangmah to panuet thok ah om hmah; nangcae hmaa ah ka haek ih kaminawk loe to tiah khosak o.
25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
Prae to panuet thok ah a sak o; a zae o haih pongah Ka thuitaek moe, prae mah a thungah kaom kaminawk to tasa bangah pathak prok.
26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.
To pongah nangcae loe kang paek ih lok hoi ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh; na prae thung tapen kami, to tih ai boeh loe nangcae salakah kaom angvinnawk mah doeh, to baktih panuet thok hmuen to saksak han om ai.
27 For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.
(To baktih hmuen to nangcae hmaa ah kaom, prae kaminawk mah sak o pongah, prae to panuet thoh boeh; )
28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
nangcae hmaa ah kaom kaminawk to pakha thung hoi pathak baktih toengah, nangcae doeh pathak han ai ah, panuet thok hmuen to sah o hmah.
29 Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.
Mi kawbaktih doeh to baktih panuet thok hmuen sah kami loe, angmacae acaeng thung hoi pahnawt han oh.
30 You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”
To pongah nangcae hmaa ah a sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk pongah, nangmacae hoi nangmacae amhnong han ai ah, kang paek ih lok to pazui oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
