< Leviticus 18 >

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Moses te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah thui pah. Kai tah BOEIPA na Pathen ni.
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 ordinances.
Egypt kho ah na om uh vaengkah bibi bangla saii uh boeh. Te phoeiah kai loh nangmih kam pha sak Kanaan kho kah khoboe bangla om uh boel lamtah amih kah khosing te awt uh boeh.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I [am] the LORD your God.
Kai kah laitloeknah he ngai uh lamtah ka khosing te vai ham ngaithuen uh. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen Yahweh ni.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the LORD.
Te dongah kai kah khosing aka ngaithuen tih ka laitloeknah aka ngai hlang te tah tekah khosing dongah hing van ni. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I [am] the LORD.
Hlang la aka om hlang long tah amah kah a pum a saa boeih te ayah hliphen ham paan boel saeh. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she [is] thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Na pa kah a yah khaw, na nu kah a yah khaw, na manu khaw hliphen boeh. A yah khaw hliphen pah boeh.
8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy father’s nakedness.
Na pa yuu kah a yah, na pa kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, [whether she be] born at home, or born abroad, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
Na ngannu, na pa kah a ngannu, na nu kah a tanu kah a yah khaw, im kah pacaboeina neh kholong kah pacaboeina yah khaw hliphen boeh.
10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs [is] thine own nakedness.
Na capa canu neh na canu canu kah a yah khaw namah kah a yah la a om boeiloeih dongah amih kah a yah te hliphen boeh.
11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she [is] thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Na pa yuu canu kah a yah khaw, na pa kah pacaboeina, na ngannu kah a yah khaw hliphen boeh.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she [is] thy father’s near kinswoman.
Na pa ngannu kah, na pa huiko kah a yah khaw hliphen pah boeh.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she [is] thy mother’s near kinswoman.
Na nu kah a tanu, na nu huiko kah a yah khaw hliphen pah boeh.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she [is] thine aunt.
Na pa manuca kah a yah khaw hliphen boeh. Anih yuu neh na pi khaw paan pah boeh.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she [is] thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Na langa kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh. Na ca yuu kah a yah khaw hliphen pah boeh.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it [is] thy brother’s nakedness.
Na manuca yuu kah a yah, na manuca kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.
Na yuu neh a canu, a capa canu neh a canu canu kah a yah te hliphen pah boeh. Na thii na saa kah a yah hliphen pah ham lo boeh. Te bang te khonuen rhamtat ni.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex [her], to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life [time].
Na yuu amah a hing lalah a yah hliphen pah ham neh daengdaeh ham a tanu te lo boeh.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Te phoeiah huta te a ti a hnai neh pumom tue vaengah a yah hliphen pah ham paan boeh.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
Na imben kah a yuu aka poeih ham khaw na tamtah tii te khueh boeh.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
Na tiingan te Molek taengah khumpael sak ham pae boeh. Te dongah na Pathen ming te poeih boeh. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
tongpa puei khaw huta thingkong bangla yalh puei boeh. Te ta tueilaehkoi ni.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.
Rhamsa khat khat neh aka poeih uh ham khaw na tamtah khueh boeh. Huta long khaw rhamsa neh pitpom tih, anih kui hamla duen boel saeh.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
He boeih nen he poeih uh boeh. Namtom rhoek khaw he boeih nen he a poeih uh dongah ni nangmih mikhmuh ah ka haek.
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Khohmuen pataeng a poeih uh dongah amah kathaesainah te ka cawh pah tih, khohmuen kah khosa rhoek khaw a lok thil.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Tedae nangmih loh ka khosing neh ka laitloeknah he ngaithuen uh. Te dongah te bang tueilaehkoi boeih te tolrhum mupoe long khaw, nangmih taengah aka bakuep yinlai long khaw saii boel saeh.
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which [were] before you, and the land is defiled; )
Nangmih mikhmuh kah tolrhum hlang rhoek loh he rhoek kah tueilaehkoi boeih he a saii uh dongah khohmuen khaw a poeih uh.
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that [were] before you.
Te dongah nangmih mikhmuh kah namtom a tha bangla na khohmuen na poeih uh van tih nangmih khaw khohmuen loh n'tha boel saeh.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit [them] shall be cut off from among their people.
U hlang khaw he rhoek kah tueilaehkoi hno khat khat a saii atah aka saii hlanghing boeih te pilnam lamkah hnawt saeh.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD your God.
Te dongah nangmih mikhmuh kah tueilaehkoi khosing aka saii rhoek te vai pawt ham kamah loh ka kuek te ngaithuen uh. Te daengah ni amih taengah pum te na poeih uh pawt eh. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA ni,” a ti nah.
