Leviticus 18
1 The Lord told Moses,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 “Tell the Israelites: I am the Lord your God.
Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
3 Don't follow the ways of Egypt where you used to live, and don't follow the ways of Canaan where I'm going to take you. Don't adopt their practices.
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 Do what I tell you and keep my rules. I am the Lord 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 If you keep my rules and do what I tell you, you will live. I am the Lord.
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 Don't have sex with a close relative.
ʻOua naʻa ofi atu ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ki ha tokotaha ʻoku kāinga moʻoni mo ia ko hono fakatelefuaʻi: Ko au ko Sihova.
7 Don't shame your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother; don't have sex with her.
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 Don't have sex with any of your father's wives and shame your father.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae mali ʻo hoʻo tamai; he ko e telefua ia ʻo hoʻo tamai.
9 Don't have sex with your sister, whether she's your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, or whether she was born in the same house as you or somewhere else.
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 Don't have sex with your granddaughter, your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, because that would be shameful thing for you.
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 Don't have sex with the daughter of any of your father's wives and your father, she is your sister.
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 Don't have sex with your father's sister. She is a close relative of your father.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tuofefine ʻo hoʻo tamai: he ko e kāinga fefine ofi ia ʻo hoʻo tamai.
13 Don't have sex with your mother's sister. She is a close relative of your mother.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tokoua ʻo hoʻo faʻē: he ko e kāinga fefine ofi ia ʻo hoʻo faʻē.
14 Don't bring shame on your uncle by having sex with his wife. She is your 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 Don't have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife. Don't have sex with her.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻa ho ʻofefine ʻi he fono: he ko e mali ia ʻo ho foha; ʻoua naʻa ke fakatelefua ia.
16 Don't have sex with your brother's wife and bring shame on your brother.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae mali ʻo ho tokoua: he ko e telefua ʻo ho tokoua ia.
17 Don't have sex with both a woman and her daughter. Don't have sex with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are her close relatives. That is something I loathe.
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 Don't marry your wife's sister and have sex with her while your wife is still alive. They will be hostile wives to one other.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke mali mo e tokoua ʻo ho mali ke fakamamahi ʻaki ia, mo fakatelefua ia ʻi heʻene kei moʻui ʻaʻana.
19 Don't have sex with a woman during the time she is unclean because of her period.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ki ha fefine ke fakatelefua ia, lolotonga kuo vaheʻi ia ʻi heʻene taʻemaʻa.
20 Don't commit any sex act with any other man's wife. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
Pea ʻoua foki naʻa ke mohe angahala mo e uafi ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, ke fakaʻuliʻi koe mo ia.
21 Don't give any of your children as a human sacrifice to Molech, for you must not disgrace the character of your God. I am the Lord.
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 Don't have sex with a man as with a woman. That is something disgusting.
ʻOua naʻa ke mohe mo ha tangata ʻo hangē ko e mohe mo e fefine: ko e meʻa fakalielia ia.
23 Don't have sex with any animal. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
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 A woman must not give herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is something disgusting. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean by doing anything like this. That's the reason I'm expelling these nations from the land—they polluted themselves because of all these practices.
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 Even the land has become polluted, so I am punishing it for the sins committed by the people who live there, and the land will vomit them out.
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 You, however, must do what I tell you and keep my rules. You must not do any of these disgusting acts, whether an Israelite or a foreigner living 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 The people who lived in the land before you practiced all these disgusting things, and the land became polluted.
(He ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ni kuo fai ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe fonua, pea kuo pani ʻuli fōfō ʻae fonua: )
28 If you pollute the land, it will vomit you out just like it did the nations 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 Consequently anyone who does any of these disgusting things must be expelled from 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 You must accept my demand that you don't follow any of these disgusting practices done before you arrived. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean. I am the Lord 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.
