Leviticus 18
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.
“Akkana jedhii Israaʼelootatti himi; ‘Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
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.
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 You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.
Isin seera kootiif ajajamaa; ajaja koos sirriitti eegaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dha.
5 Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.
Ajaja koo fi seera koo eegaa; namni isaaniif ajajamu isaaniin jiraataatii; ani Waaqayyo.
6 None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.
“‘Namni kam iyyuu fira dhiigaa kam iyyuu wajjin wal bira gaʼuuf itti hin dhiʼaatin; ani Waaqayyo.
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.
“‘Haadha kee wajjin wal bira gaʼuudhaan abbaa kee hin salphisin; isheen haadha kee ti; ishee wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin.
8 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.
“‘Niitii abbaa keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; wanni kun abbaa kee salphisa.
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.
“‘Isheen manuma keettis taʼu yookaan alatti dhalattu illee obboleettii kee, intala abbaa keetii yookaan haadha keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin.
10 You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.
“‘Intala ilma keetii yookaan intala intala keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; wanni kun si salphisa.
11 You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
“‘Intala niitii abbaa keetii kan abbaa keetiif dhalatte wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; isheen obboleettii kee ti.
12 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.
“‘Obboleettii abbaa keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; isheen abbaa keetiif fira dhiigaa ti.
13 You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.
“‘Obboleettii haadha keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; isheen haadha keetiif fira dhiigaa ti.
14 You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.
“‘Wal bira gaʼuuf jettee niitii obboleessa abbaa keetiitti dhiʼaattee isa hin salphisin; isheen niitii obboleessa abbaa keetii ti.
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.
“‘Niitii ilma keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin. Isheen niitii ilma keetii ti; ishee wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin.
16 You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.
“‘Niitii obboleessa keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; wanni sun obboleessa kee salphisa.
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.
“‘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 You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.
“‘Utuu niitiin kee lubbuudhaan jirtuu obboleettii ishee masaanuu ishee gootee hin fuudhin; ishee wajjinis wal bira hin gaʼin.
19 You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.
“‘Yeroo dubartiin tokko xuraaʼummaa xurii jiʼaa of irraa qabdutti, bira gaʼuudhaaf jettee isheetti hin dhiʼaatin.
20 You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.
“‘Niitii namaa wajjin wal bira geessee isheedhaan of hin xureessin.
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.
“‘Ijoollee kee keessaa tokko illee akka Moolekiif aarsaa taʼaniif hin kennin; ati maqaa Waaqa keetii hin xureessin. Ani Waaqayyo.
22 You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.
“‘Akka namni dubartii wajjin ciisu ati dhiira wajjin hin ciisin; wanni kun hojii jibbisiisaa dha.
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.
“‘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 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.
“‘Sababii namoonni ani ariʼee isin duraa baasuuf jiru kunneen haala kanaan xuraaʼaniif isin karaa kanneen keessaa kamiin iyyuu of hin xureessinaa.
25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
Lafti iyyuu xuroofteerti; kanaafuu ani sababii cubbuu isheetiifan ishee adabe; laftis jiraattota ishee ni tufti.
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.
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 the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.
Namoonni isiniin dura biyya sana keessa jiraatanis waan kana hunda hojjetanii akkasiin biyyattiin xuroofte.
28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
Isinis lafa kana yoo xureessitan, lafti akkuma saboota isin dura turan tufte sana isiniin illee ni tufti.
29 Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.
“‘Namni wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen keessaa tokko illee hojjetu kam iyyuu saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.
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.”
Ajaja koo eegaa; barteewwan jibbisiisoo isin dura hojjetamaa turan sana keessaa tokko illee duukaa buutanii ittiin of hin xureessinaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.’”
