< Leviticus 20 >

1 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Onye Izrel ọbụla maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla bi nʼetiti unu, nke weere nwa ya nye maka ịchụrụ Molek aja, aghaghị ime ka ọ nwụọ. Ndị mmadụ ga-ewere nkume tugbuo ya.
3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Mụ onwe m ga-emegide onye ahụ, bipụ ya site nʼetiti ndị ya, nʼihi na o merụọla ebe nsọ m, mee ka aha m gharakwa ịdị nsọ, site nʼiji ụmụ ya chụọrọ Molek aja.
4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
Ọ bụrụ na ndị obodo elezie anya mee omume dịka a ga-asị na ha amaghị ihe onye ahụ mere, hapụkwa igbu ya, mgbe o were otu nʼime ụmụ ya nye Molek,
5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
mụ onwe m ga-emegide onye ahụ na ezinaụlọ ya bipụ ha site nʼetiti ndị ya. Otu a kwa ka m ga-eme ya na ndị niile so ya merụọ onwe ha site nʼife arụsị Molek.
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
“‘Aga m edo ihu m megide onye ọbụla gara jụọ ase site nʼaka mmụọ ọjọọ, maọbụ onye gara na dibịa afa gbaa afa, site nʼiso ha kwaa iko. Aga m ekewapụ onye ahụ site nʼetiti ndị ya.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am YHWH your Elohim.
“‘Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, ma dịkwanụ nsọ nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am YHWH which sanctify you.
Debenụ ụkpụrụ m niile, ma gbasoonụ ha nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo unu nsọ.
9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
“‘Onye ọbụla kọchara nne ya maọbụ nna ya ka a ga-egbu nʼihi na ọ kọchara nne na nna ya. Ọbara onye dị otu a ga-adịkwa ya nʼisi.
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla edinakwuru nwunye nwoke ọzọ, ya bụ nwunye onye agbataobi ya, nwoke ahụ na nwanyị kwara iko ka a ga-egbu.
11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Nwoke ọbụla ya na nwunye nna ya dinakọrọ nwe mmekọ, emerụọla nna ya. A ga-egbu nwoke ahụ na nwanyị ahụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla edinakwuru nwunye nwa ya, wetara onwe ha ikpe ọmụma, a ga-egbu ha abụọ nʼihi na ọ bụ arụ ka ha mere.
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Ọ bụrụ nwoke na nwoke ibe ya edinakọọ nwee ụdị mmekọ edina nwoke na nwanyị, a ga-egbu ha abụọ nʼihi na ihe ha mere bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke alụọ nwanyị na nne mụrụ ya, ajọ ihe ka ọ bụ. Nwoke ahụ na ndị inyom ndị ahụ ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ, ka ihe ọjọọ dị otu a hapụ ịdị nʼetiti unu.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke na anụmanụ enwee mmekọrịta, a ga-egbu nwoke ahụ gbukwaa anụmanụ ahụ.
16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ọbụla abịaruo anụmanụ ọbụla nso dinakwuru ya inwe mmekọ, a ga-egbu nwanyị ahụ na anụmanụ ahụ, nʼihi na ha kwesiri ọnwụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
“‘Nwoke ọbụla ya na nwanne ya nwanyị nwere mmekọ edina, maọbụ nwa afọ nne ya maọbụ nwa nwunye nna ya, a ga-ekpochapụ ha site nʼihu ọha mmadụ nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe ihere dị ukwuu ka ha mere. Ọ merụọla nwanne ya, nʼihi ya ikpe ọmụma dị ya nʼisi.
18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
“‘Nwoke ọbụla nke ya na nwanyị nọ na nsọ nwanyị ya dinakọrọ nwee mmekọ ekpugheela adịghị ọcha nwanyị ahụ. Nwanyị ahụ nʼonwe ya ekpugheekwala adịghị ọcha nke ya. A ga-ebipụ ha abụọ site nʼetiti ndị ha.
19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
“‘Ị gaghị enwe mmekọ edina nʼetiti gị na nwanne nwanyị nne gị maọbụ nwanne nwanyị nna gị, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe nleda anya nye onye ọbara jịkọrọ gị na ya. Ikpe ọmụma ga-adịrị unu abụọ.
20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla na nwunye nwanne nna ya edinaa, ọ bụ omume ileda anya nye nwanne nna ya. Ha ga-ebu mmehie ha. Ha ga-anwụ na-amụtaghị nwa.
21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
“‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke alụọ nwunye nwanne ya, ọ bụ omume rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe nleda anya nye nwanne ya. Ha ga-agba aka nwa.
22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
“‘Debenụ iwu ndị a na ụkpụrụ ndị a, ma gbasoonụ ha ka ala ahụ m na-eduba unu nʼime ya hapụ imeghe ọnụ ya gbụpụ unu.
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Unu agbasola omenaala ndị mba niile a m na-achụpụ site nʼala m na-enye unu, nʼihi na ha na-eme ihe ndị a niile m nyere unu nʼiwu emela. Ọ bụ nke a mere ihe banyere ha ji sọọ m oyi.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am YHWH your Elohim, which have separated you from other people.
Ma agwala m unu sị, “Unu ga-eketa ala ha. Aga m enye ya unu ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa unu. Ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.” Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu onye kewapụtara unu doo unu iche site na mba ndị ọzọ niile.
25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
“‘Unu aghaghị ịkpa oke nʼetiti anụmanụ ndị dị ọcha iri eri, na anụmanụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha, na nʼetiti anụ ufe dị ọcha iri eri na ndị rụrụ arụ. Unu emerụla onwe unu site nʼiri anụmanụ maọbụ anụ ufe, maọbụ ihe ọzọ na-akpụgharị nʼala, ndị ahụ m kewapụrụ iche dịka ihe rụrụ arụ.
26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I YHWH am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
Unu ga-adị nsọ nye m, nʼihi na mụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị, dị nsọ. Ekewapụtala m unu, doo unu iche, site nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ niile, ka unu bụrụ nke m.
27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
“‘A ga-eji nkume tugbuo nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla nke na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase, maọbụ dibịa afa nọ nʼetiti unu ka ọ nwụọ. Ọbara ha ga-adịkwa ha nʼisi.’”
