Leviticus 18
1 Jehovah said to Moses,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am Jehovah your God.
“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ ।
3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
तिमीहरू पहिले बसोबास गर्ने मिश्रका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ जे गर्थे ती तिमीहरूले नगर्नू । मैले तिमीहरूलाई लैजान लागेको देश अर्थात् कनानका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ जे गर्थे ती तिमीहरूले नगर्नू । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका रीतिरिवाजहरू नपछ्याउनू ।
4 You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am Jehovah your God.
मेरो व्यवस्था तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नू, र मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्नू, र तीअनुसार तिमीहरू हिँड्नू, किनभने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ ।
5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.
यसैकारण तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्नू र मेरा व्यवस्था पालन गर्नू । ती पालन गर्ने मानिस तीद्वारा नै बाँच्दछ । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
6 "'None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah.
आफ्नो नजिकको नातेदारसँग सुतेर कसैले पनि आफ्नो नग्नता नदेखाओस् । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
7 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
आफ्नी आमासँग सुतेर आफ्ना बुबाको अनादार नगर्नू । त्यो तेरी आमा हो! तैँले त्यसलाई अनादर नगर् ।
8 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your father's nakedness.
आफ्ना बुबाकी कुनै पत्नीसँग पनि नसुत् । त्यस्तो काम गरेर आफ्ना बुबाको अनादर नगर् ।
9 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.
आफ्नी कुनै दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत्, चाहे त्यो तेरो बुबाकी छोरी वा आमाकी छोरी होस्, चाहे त्यो तेरो घरमा वा घरबाट टाढा हुर्काइएकी होस् । आफ्नी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत् ।
10 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness.
आफ्नो छोरा वा छोरीको छोरीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो निम्ति शर्मको कुरा हो ।
11 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
आफ्ना बुबाकी पत्नीकी छोरीसँग नसुत्, जो तेरो बुबाबाट जन्मेकी थिई । त्यो तेरो बहिनी हो, र तँ त्योसँग नसुत् ।
12 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's flesh.
आफ्ना बुबाकी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो बुबाको नजिकको नातेदार हो ।
13 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's flesh
आफ्नी आमाकी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरी आमाको नजिकको नातेदार हो ।
14 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.
आफ्ना बुबाको दाजु वा भाइकी पत्नीसँग सुतेर त्यसको अनादर नगर् । त्यस्तो कामको निम्ति त्यसको नजिक नजा, त्यो तेरी काकी हो ।
15 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
आफ्नी बुहारीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो छोरोकी पत्नी हो, त्योसँग नसुत् ।
16 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
आफ्नो दाजु वा भाइकी पत्नीसँग नसुत् । यस्तो काम गरेर त्यसको अनादर नगर् ।
17 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
कुनै स्त्री र त्यसकी छोरी दुवैसँग नसुत्, वा त्यसको छोराकी छोरीसँग वा त्यसकी छोरीकी छोरीसँग नसुत् । तिनीहरू त्यस स्त्रीका नजिकका नातेदार हुन् र तिनीहरूसँग सुत्नु दुष्टता हो ।
18 "'You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.
आफ्नी पत्नीकी दिदी वा बहिनीलाई विवाह नगर् र आफ्नो पहिलेकी पत्नी जीवितै हुँदासम्म त्यसकी दिदी वा बहिनीसँग नसुत् ।
19 "'You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

20 "'You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.
आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीसँग नसुत् र यसरी आफैलाई अशुद्ध नबना ।
21 "'You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am Jehovah.
आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई मोलोखको निम्ति बलि गर्नलाई तिनीहरूलाई आगोमा नहाल्नू, किनभने तिमीहरूले यसो गरेर आफ्ना परमेश्वरको नाउँलाई अपवित्र नबनाउनू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
22 "'You shall not have sexual relations with a male, as with a woman. That is detestable.
स्त्रीसँगझैँ गरी अरू पुरुषहरूसँग नसुत्नू । यो दुष्टता हो ।

कुनै पशुसँग सहवास गरेर आफैलाई अशुद्ध नबनाउनू । कुनै पनि स्त्री कुनै पशुसँग नसुत्नू । यो अस्वाभाविक दुराचरण हो ।
24 "'Do not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
यस्ता कामहरू गरेर आफैलाई अपवित्र नबनाउनू, किनभने जुन जातिहरूलाई मैले तिमीहरूका सामुबाट निकाल्दै छु ती यी सबै कारणले अपवित्र भएका छन् ।
25 The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
तिनीहरूको भूमि अपवित्र भयो, र यसैकारण मैले तिनीहरूका पापको दण्ड दिएँ, र त्यस भूमिले त्यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई उकेलेर निकालिदियो ।
26 You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;
यसैकारण, तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू र विधिहरू पालन गर्नू, र इस्राएलका स्वदेशी वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा बसोबास गर्ने परदेशी जोकोहीले कुनै पनि यस्ता घृणास्पद काम नगर्नू ।
27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);
तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि यस भूमिमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूले यस्तै दुष्ट काम गरे, र यसैकारण सारा देश नै अपवित्र भयो ।
28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
तिमीहरूका अपवित्रताका कारण तिमीहरूभन्दा अगिका मानिसहरूलाई झैँ त्यस भूमिले तिमीहरूलाई पनि उकेलेर बाहिर ननिकालोस् ।
29 "'For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
तिमीहरूमध्ये जो कोहीले यस्ता घृणास्पद कामहरू गर्दछन् भने, तिनीहरू आफ्ना मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्कृत हुने छन् ।
30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am Jehovah your God.'"
तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि यहाँ अभ्यास हुने गरेका कुनै यस्ता घृणास्पद रीतिरिवाजहरूलाई तिमीहरूले अभ्यास नगरेर मेरो आज्ञा पालन गर्नू अनि यसरी तिमीहरूले यस्ता कामले आफैलाई अपवित्र बनाउने छैनौ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ’ ।”
