Leviticus 18

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.

Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

3 You shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which you lived: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, you shall not do; and you shall not walk in their ordinances.

‌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 You shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: 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 So you shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.

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 man shall draw near to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.

ʻOua naʻa ofi atu ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ki ha tokotaha ʻoku kāinga moʻoni mo ia ko hono fakatelefuaʻi: Ko au ko Sihova.

7 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, for she is your mother; you shall 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 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae mali ʻo hoʻo tamai; he ko e telefua ia ʻo hoʻo tamai.

9 The nakedness of your sister by your father or by your mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness you shall 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 your son's daughter, or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; because it is your 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 You shall not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of your father's wife; she is your sister by the same father: you shall 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 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, for she is near akin to your father.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tuofefine ʻo hoʻo tamai: he ko e kāinga fefine ofi ia ʻo hoʻo tamai.

13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is near akin to your mother.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tokoua ʻo hoʻo faʻē: he ko e kāinga fefine ofi ia ʻo hoʻo faʻē.

14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, and you shall not go in to his wife; for she is your relation.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tokoua ʻo hoʻo tamai; ʻoua naʻa ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ki hono mali; he ko ho mehikitanga ia,

15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, you shall 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 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your 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 shall you not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shall you not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are your kinswomen: it is impiety.

‌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 You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.

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 you shall not go in to a woman under separation for 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 you shall not lie with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her.

Pea ʻoua foki naʻa ke mohe angahala mo e uafi ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, ke fakaʻuliʻi koe mo ia.

21 And you shall not give of your seed to serve a ruler; and you shall not profane my holy name; 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 And you shall not lie with a man as with a woman, for 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 Neither shall you lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.

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 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,

‌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 is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.

‌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 And you shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with 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 the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )

(He ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ni kuo fai ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe fonua, pea kuo pani ʻuli fōfō ʻae fonua: )

28 and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with 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 For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed 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 you shall keep mine ordinances, that you may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and you shall not be polluted in them; for 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.
