Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord your God.
“Akkana jedhii Israaʼelootatti himi; ‘Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
3 After ye doings of the land of Egypt, wherin ye dwelt, shall ye not doe: and after the maner of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, shall ye not do, neither walke 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 But do after my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.
Isin seera kootiif ajajamaa; ajaja koos sirriitti eegaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dha.
5 Ye shall keepe therefore my statutes, and my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall then liue in them: I am the Lord.
Ajaja koo fi seera koo eegaa; namni isaaniif ajajamu isaaniin jiraataatii; ani Waaqayyo.
6 None shall come neere to any of ye kinred of his flesh to vncouer her shame: I am the Lord.

25 And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her inhabitants.
