Leviticus 18
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.
Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
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 customs.
ʻOua naʻa mou fai ʻo hangē ko e faianga ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa mou nofo ai: pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai ʻo hangē ko e faianga ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki ai; pea ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fekau.
4 Mine ordinances shall ye do and my statutes shall ye observe to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.
Ka mou fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ke fai ki ai; Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
5 And ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, by which the man that doeth them shall live: I am Jehovah.
Ko ia ke mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau; ʻaia kapau ʻe fai ia ʻe ha tangata, ʻe moʻui ai ia: Ko au ko Sihova.”
6 No one shall approach to any that is his near relation, to uncover his nakedness: I am Jehovah.
ʻOua naʻa ofi atu ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ki ha tokotaha ʻoku kāinga moʻoni mo ia ko hono fakatelefuaʻi: Ko au ko Sihova.
7 The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Ko e telefua ʻo hoʻo tamai pe ko e telefua ʻo hoʻo faʻē ʻoua naʻa ke tatala: he ko hoʻo faʻē ia; ʻe ʻikai te ke fakatelefuaʻi ia.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae mali ʻo hoʻo tamai; he ko e telefua ia ʻo hoʻo tamai.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home, or born abroad — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻa ho tuofefine ko e ʻofefine ʻo hoʻo tamai, pe ko e tama ʻo hoʻo faʻē, pe kuo ne tupu ʻi ʻapi, pe tupu ʻi he mamaʻo, ʻoua naʻa ke tatala honau telefua.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy nakedness.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae ʻofefine ʻo ho foha, pe ko e tama ʻa ho ʻofefine; he ko honau telefua ko ho telefua ʻoʻou ia.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father: she is thy sister: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Pea ko e telefua ʻoe tama ʻae mali ʻo hoʻo tamai, kuo tupu ʻi hoʻo tamai, ko hoʻo tuofefine ia, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatelefua ia.
12 The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near relation.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tuofefine ʻo hoʻo tamai: he ko e kāinga fefine ofi ia ʻo hoʻo tamai.
13 The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near relation.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tokoua ʻo hoʻo faʻē: he ko e kāinga fefine ofi ia ʻo hoʻo faʻē.
14 The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tokoua ʻo hoʻo tamai; ʻoua naʻa ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ki hono mali; he ko ho mehikitanga ia,
15 The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻa ho ʻofefine ʻi he fono: he ko e mali ia ʻo ho foha; ʻoua naʻa ke fakatelefua ia.
16 The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae mali ʻo ho tokoua: he ko e telefua ʻo ho tokoua ia.
17 The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, nor her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are her near relations: it is wickedness.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ha fefine mo ʻene tama, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻave ʻae ʻofefine ʻo ʻene tama, pe ko e tama ʻa ʻene tama, ke fakatelefua ia; he ko hono kāinga fefine ofi ʻakinautolu; ko e meʻa kovi ia.
18 And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness beside her, during her life.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke mali mo e tokoua ʻo ho mali ke fakamamahi ʻaki ia, mo fakatelefua ia ʻi heʻene kei moʻui ʻaʻana.
19 And thou shalt not approach a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ki ha fefine ke fakatelefua ia, lolotonga kuo vaheʻi ia ʻi heʻene taʻemaʻa.
20 And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to become unclean with her.
Pea ʻoua foki naʻa ke mohe angahala mo e uafi ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, ke fakaʻuliʻi koe mo ia.
21 And thou shalt not give of thy seed to let them pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ho hako ʻi he afi kia Moleki, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaongokovi ʻae huafa ʻo ho ʻOtua; Ko au ko Sihova.
22 And thou shalt not lie with mankind as one lieth with a woman: it is an abomination.
ʻOua naʻa ke mohe mo ha tangata ʻo hangē ko e mohe mo e fefine: ko e meʻa fakalielia ia.
23 And thou shalt lie with no beast to become unclean therewith; and a woman shall not stand before a beast to lie down with it: it is confusion.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke mohe mo ha manu ke fakaʻuliʻi koe ʻi ai: pea ʻoua naʻa tuʻu ha fefine ʻi he ʻao ʻoe manu ke tokoto ki ai: ko e meʻa kovi fakaʻulia ia.
24 Make not yourselves unclean in any of these things; for in all these have the nations which I am casting out before you made themselves unclean.
ʻOua naʻa mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa pehē: he ʻoku ʻuliʻi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia ʻoku ou kapusi mei homou ʻao:
25 And the land hath become unclean; and I visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants.
ʻOku fakalieliaʻi ʻae fonua: ko ia ʻoku ou totongi ki ai ʻene hia, pea ʻoku lua ʻaki foki ʻe he fonua ko ia ʻa hono kakai.
26 But ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth among you;
Ko ia te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ni, ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi homou puleʻanga, pe ha muli, ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.
27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);
(He ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ni kuo fai ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe fonua, pea kuo pani ʻuli fōfō ʻae fonua: )
28 that the land vomit you not out, when ye make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
Telia naʻa lua ʻaki ʻakimoutolu foki ʻe he fonua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene lua ʻaki kituʻa ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu.
29 For whoever committeth any of these abominations, ...the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
He ko ia ʻe fai ha meʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ni, ʻio, ko e laumālie ʻe fai ia ʻe motuhi ia mei hono kakai.
30 And ye shall observe my charge, that ye commit not [any] of the abominable customs which were committed before you; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean therein: I am Jehovah your God.
Ko ia te mou tauhi ai ʻeku ngaahi fekau, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi anga fakalielia ni, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻi muʻa ʻi homou ʻao, pea ke ʻoua naʻa mou ʻuliʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi ai: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
