Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.
“Akkana jedhii Israaʼelootatti himi; ‘Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
3 Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.
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 Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
Isin seera kootiif ajajamaa; ajaja koos sirriitti eegaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dha.
5 So ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
Ajaja koo fi seera koo eegaa; namni isaaniif ajajamu isaaniin jiraataatii; ani Waaqayyo.
6 No man shall draw nigh to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
“‘Namni kam iyyuu fira dhiigaa kam iyyuu wajjin wal bira gaʼuuf itti hin dhiʼaatin; ani Waaqayyo.
7 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, for she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Haadha kee wajjin wal bira gaʼuudhaan abbaa kee hin salphisin; isheen haadha kee ti; ishee wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin.
8 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife; it is thy father's nakedness.

10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or thy daughter's daughter, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; because it is thy nakedness.
“‘Intala ilma keetii yookaan intala intala keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; wanni kun si salphisa.
11 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of thy father's wife; she is thy sister by the same father: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Intala niitii abbaa keetii kan abbaa keetiif dhalatte wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; isheen obboleettii kee ti.

13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, for she is near akin to thy mother.

14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, and thou shalt not go in to his wife; for she is thy relation.
“‘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, for 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 The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shalt thou not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are thy kinswomen: it is impiety.
“‘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 Thou shalt not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.
“‘Utuu niitiin kee lubbuudhaan jirtuu obboleettii ishee masaanuu ishee gootee hin fuudhin; ishee wajjinis wal bira hin gaʼin.
19 And thou shalt not go in to a woman under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness.

“‘Ijoollee kee keessaa tokko illee akka Moolekiif aarsaa taʼaniif hin kennin; ati maqaa Waaqa keetii hin xureessin. Ani Waaqayyo.
22 And thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
“‘Akka namni dubartii wajjin ciisu ati dhiira wajjin hin ciisin; wanni kun hojii jibbisiisaa dha.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
“‘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 with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out 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 polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
Lafti iyyuu xuroofteerti; kanaafuu ani sababii cubbuu isheetiifan ishee adabe; laftis jiraattota ishee ni tufti.
26 And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with 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 the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )
Namoonni isiniin dura biyya sana keessa jiraatanis waan kana hunda hojjetanii akkasiin biyyattiin xuroofte.
28 and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations 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, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.
“‘Namni wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen keessaa tokko illee hojjetu kam iyyuu saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.
30 And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for 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.’”
