Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
2 Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ ।
3 You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
तिमीहरू पहिले बसोबास गर्ने मिश्रका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ जे गर्थे ती तिमीहरूले नगर्नू । मैले तिमीहरूलाई लैजान लागेको देश अर्थात् कनानका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ जे गर्थे ती तिमीहरूले नगर्नू । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका रीतिरिवाजहरू नपछ्याउनू ।
4 But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
मेरो व्यवस्था तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नू, र मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्नू, र तीअनुसार तिमीहरू हिँड्नू, किनभने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ ।
5 So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
यसैकारण तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्नू र मेरा व्यवस्था पालन गर्नू । ती पालन गर्ने मानिस तीद्वारा नै बाँच्दछ । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
6 You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.
आफ्नो नजिकको नातेदारसँग सुतेर कसैले पनि आफ्नो नग्नता नदेखाओस् । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
7 You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
आफ्नी आमासँग सुतेर आफ्ना बुबाको अनादार नगर्नू । त्यो तेरी आमा हो! तैँले त्यसलाई अनादर नगर् ।
8 And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
आफ्ना बुबाकी कुनै पत्नीसँग पनि नसुत् । त्यस्तो काम गरेर आफ्ना बुबाको अनादर नगर् ।
9 You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
आफ्नी कुनै दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत्, चाहे त्यो तेरो बुबाकी छोरी वा आमाकी छोरी होस्, चाहे त्यो तेरो घरमा वा घरबाट टाढा हुर्काइएकी होस् । आफ्नी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत् ।
10 You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
आफ्नो छोरा वा छोरीको छोरीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो निम्ति शर्मको कुरा हो ।
11 Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.
आफ्ना बुबाकी पत्नीकी छोरीसँग नसुत्, जो तेरो बुबाबाट जन्मेकी थिई । त्यो तेरो बहिनी हो, र तँ त्योसँग नसुत् ।
12 You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.
आफ्ना बुबाकी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो बुबाको नजिकको नातेदार हो ।
13 You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.
आफ्नी आमाकी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरी आमाको नजिकको नातेदार हो ।
14 You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;
आफ्ना बुबाको दाजु वा भाइकी पत्नीसँग सुतेर त्यसको अनादर नगर् । त्यस्तो कामको निम्ति त्यसको नजिक नजा, त्यो तेरी काकी हो ।
15 Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
आफ्नी बुहारीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो छोरोकी पत्नी हो, त्योसँग नसुत् ।
16 You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
आफ्नो दाजु वा भाइकी पत्नीसँग नसुत् । यस्तो काम गरेर त्यसको अनादर नगर् ।
17 You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
कुनै स्त्री र त्यसकी छोरी दुवैसँग नसुत्, वा त्यसको छोराकी छोरीसँग वा त्यसकी छोरीकी छोरीसँग नसुत् । तिनीहरू त्यस स्त्रीका नजिकका नातेदार हुन् र तिनीहरूसँग सुत्नु दुष्टता हो ।
18 And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
आफ्नी पत्नीकी दिदी वा बहिनीलाई विवाह नगर् र आफ्नो पहिलेकी पत्नी जीवितै हुँदासम्म त्यसकी दिदी वा बहिनीसँग नसुत् ।
19 And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.
कुनै स्त्रीको रजस्वलाको समयमा त्योसँग सहवास नगर् । त्यो समयमा त्यो अशुद्ध हुन्छे ।
20 And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.
आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीसँग नसुत् र यसरी आफैलाई अशुद्ध नबना ।
21 And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई मोलोखको निम्ति बलि गर्नलाई तिनीहरूलाई आगोमा नहाल्नू, किनभने तिमीहरूले यसो गरेर आफ्ना परमेश्वरको नाउँलाई अपवित्र नबनाउनू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
22 You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.
स्त्रीसँगझैँ गरी अरू पुरुषहरूसँग नसुत्नू । यो दुष्टता हो ।
23 And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.
कुनै पशुसँग सहवास गरेर आफैलाई अशुद्ध नबनाउनू । कुनै पनि स्त्री कुनै पशुसँग नसुत्नू । यो अस्वाभाविक दुराचरण हो ।
24 Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
यस्ता कामहरू गरेर आफैलाई अपवित्र नबनाउनू, किनभने जुन जातिहरूलाई मैले तिमीहरूका सामुबाट निकाल्दै छु ती यी सबै कारणले अपवित्र भएका छन् ।
25 And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.
तिनीहरूको भूमि अपवित्र भयो, र यसैकारण मैले तिनीहरूका पापको दण्ड दिएँ, र त्यस भूमिले त्यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई उकेलेर निकालिदियो ।
26 So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
यसैकारण, तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू र विधिहरू पालन गर्नू, र इस्राएलका स्वदेशी वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा बसोबास गर्ने परदेशी जोकोहीले कुनै पनि यस्ता घृणास्पद काम नगर्नू ।
27 (For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them; )
तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि यस भूमिमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूले यस्तै दुष्ट काम गरे, र यसैकारण सारा देश नै अपवित्र भयो ।
28 So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.
तिमीहरूका अपवित्रताका कारण तिमीहरूभन्दा अगिका मानिसहरूलाई झैँ त्यस भूमिले तिमीहरूलाई पनि उकेलेर बाहिर ननिकालोस् ।
29 For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.
तिमीहरूमध्ये जो कोहीले यस्ता घृणास्पद कामहरू गर्दछन् भने, तिनीहरू आफ्ना मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्कृत हुने छन् ।
30 So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि यहाँ अभ्यास हुने गरेका कुनै यस्ता घृणास्पद रीतिरिवाजहरूलाई तिमीहरूले अभ्यास नगरेर मेरो आज्ञा पालन गर्नू अनि यसरी तिमीहरूले यस्ता कामले आफैलाई अपवित्र बनाउने छैनौ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ’ ।”
