Leviticus 18
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: I [am] your God YHWH;
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
3 you do not do according to the work of the land of Egypt in which you have dwelt, and you do not do according to the work of the land of Canaan to where I am bringing you in, and you do not walk in their statutes.
Musamachite zomwe amachita anthu a ku Igupto kumene munkakhala kuja, ndiponso musamachite zomwe amachita anthu a ku Kanaani kumene ndikukupititsani. Musatsatire miyambo yawo.
4 You do My judgments and you keep My statutes, to walk in them; I [am] your God YHWH.
Inu muzimvera malamulo anga ndipo muzisamalitsa kutsatira malangizo anga. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
5 And you have kept My statutes and My judgments which man does and lives in them; I [am] YHWH.
Choncho sungani malangizo ndi malamulo anga, popeza munthu amene amvera zimenezi adzakhala ndi moyo. Ine ndine Yehova.
6 None of you draws near to any relation of his flesh to uncover nakedness; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Munthu aliyense asagonane ndi wachibale wake. Ine ndine Yehova.
7 You do not uncover the nakedness of your father and the nakedness of your mother, she [is] your mother; you do not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usachititse manyazi abambo ako pogonana ndi amayi ako. Iwo ndi amayi ako. Usagonane nawo.
8 You do not uncover the nakedness of the wife of your father; it [is] the nakedness of your father.
“‘Usagonane ndi mkazi wa abambo ako (osakhala amayi okubala). Ukatero ukuchititsa manyazi abambo ako.
9 The nakedness of your sister, daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, born at home or born outside—you do not uncover their nakedness.
“‘Usagonane ndi mlongo wako, mwana wamkazi wa abambo ako, kapena mwana wamkazi wa amayi ako, kaya anabadwira mʼnyumba mwanu kapena kwina.
10 The nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter—you do not uncover their nakedness; for theirs [is] your nakedness.
“‘Usagonane ndi mdzukulu wako: mwana wa mwana wako wamwamuna kapena mwana wa mwana wako wamkazi. Kutero nʼkudzichotsa ulemu.
11 The nakedness of a daughter of your father’s wife, begotten of your father, she [is] your sister—you do not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usagonane ndi mwana wamkazi wa mkazi wa abambo ako, amene abambo akowo anabereka; popeza ameneyo ndi mlongo wako.
12 You do not uncover the nakedness of a sister of your father; she [is] a relation of your father.
“‘Usagonane ndi mlongo wa abambo ako; popeza ameneyo ndi thupi limodzi ndi abambo ako.
13 You do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she [is] your mother’s relation.
“‘Usagonane ndi mchemwali wa amayi ako chifukwa ameneyo ndi thupi limodzi ndi amayi ako.
14 You do not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother; you do not draw near to his wife; she [is] your aunt.
“‘Usachititse manyazi mchimwene wa abambo ako pogonana ndi mkazi wake popeza amenewo ndi azakhali ako.
15 You do not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she [is] your son’s wife; you do not uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usagonane ndi mpongozi wako popeza ameneyo ndi mkazi wa mwana wako. Choncho usamuchititse manyazi.
16 You do not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it [is] your brother’s nakedness.
“‘Usagonane ndi mkazi wa mchimwene wako popeza potero ukuchititsa manyazi mʼbale wakoyo.
17 You do not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor do you take her son’s daughter and her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her relations; it [is] wickedness.
“‘Usagonane ndi mkazi ndiponso mwana wake wamkazi. Usagonane ndi mwana wamkazi wa mwana wake wamwamuna, kapena mwana wamkazi wa mwana wake wamkazi. Amenewo ndi thupi limodzi ndi mkaziyo. Kutero ndikuchita chinthu choyipa kwambiri.
18 And you do not take a woman [in addition] to her sister, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.
“‘Usakwatire mchemwali wa mkazi wako ndi kumagonana naye mkazi wakoyo ali moyo ngati wopikisana naye.
19 And you do not draw near to a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.
“‘Usamuyandikire mkazi kuti ugonane naye pa nthawi yake yosamba.
20 And you do not give your seed [from] intercourse to the wife of your fellow, to become unclean with her.
“‘Usagonane ndi mkazi wa mnzako ndi kudziyipitsa naye.
21 And you do not give from your seed to pass over to the Molech, nor do you defile the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH.
“‘Usapereke mwana wako aliyense kuti akhale nsembe yamoto kwa Moleki ndi kuyipitsa dzina la Yehova. Ine ndine Yehova.
22 And you do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it [is] an abomination.
“‘Usagonane ndi mwamuna ngati mkazi; chimenecho ndi chinthu chonyansa.
23 And you do not commit your intercourse with any beast, to become unclean with it; and a woman does not stand before a beast to mate with it; it [is] perversion.
“‘Usagonane ndi nyama ndi kudziyipitsa nayo. Mkazi asadzipereke kwa nyama kuti agonane nayo. Chimenecho ndi chisokonezo.
24 Do not defile yourselves with all these, for with all these the nations have been defiled which I am sending away from before you;
“‘Musadzidetse ndi zinthu zimenezi chifukwa umo ndi mmene mitundu ina imene ndikuyithamangitsa pamaso panu inadzidetsera.
25 and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity on it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
Choncho dziko linayipa ndipo ndinalilanga chifukwa cha tchimo lake. Motero dzikolo linasanza anthu ake okhalamo.
26 And you have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not do [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,
Koma inu mukasunge malangizo ndi malamulo anga. Mbadwa ndiponso alendo amene akukhala pakati panu asakachite china chilichonse cha zinthu zonyansazi,
27 for the men of the land who [are] before you have done all these abominations and the land is defiled,
pakuti zinthu zonsezi ndi zomwe ankachita anthu amene ankakhala mʼdzikomo inu musanafike, ndipo dziko linayipitsidwa.
28 and the land does not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it has vomited out the nation which [is] before you;
Koma inu musachite zimenezi kuti dziko lingakusanzeni mutaliyipitsa monga linasanzira mitundu imene imakhalamo inu musanafike.
29 for anyone who does [any] of all these abominations—even the persons who are doing [so]—have been cut off from the midst of their people;
“‘Aliyense wochita zinthu zonyansa zimenezi achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzake.
30 and you have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and you do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] your God YHWH.”
Choncho mverani malangizo anga oletsa kuchita miyambo yonyansayi imene ankatsatira anthu amene analipo inu musanafike ndi kudziyipitsa nayo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
