Leviticus 18
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
2 “Speak to the Israeli people and tell them [that I, Yahweh, say this] this: I am Yahweh, your God.
Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo, taroño ty hoe: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
3 [So you must do what I want you to do]; you must not do the things that the people in Egypt, where you lived previously, do; and you must not do what is done by the people in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not imitate their behavior.
Ko anoe’ areo o satan-tane Mitsraime nimoneña’ areoo; le tsy hanoe’ areo ka o satan-tane Kanàne aneseako anahareoo, tsy hañaveloa’ areo o fañè’ iareoo.
4 You must obey all of my laws [DOU], because it is I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those laws].
Hanoe’ areo o fepèkoo vaho hambena’ areo o fañèkoo, hañaveloa’ areo: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
5 If you obey all my laws and decrees, you will continue to remain alive [for a long time]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who is promising that to you]. [These are some of my laws]:
Aa le ambeno o fañèkoo naho o fepèkoo, kanao mahaveloñe ondaty t’ie anoe’e: Izaho Iehovà.
6 “Do not have sex with any of your close relatives. It is I, Yahweh, [who am commanding that].
Tsy ama’ areo ty hitotoke an-dongo’e marine, hañafa-tsaron-kameñarañe: Izaho Iehovà.
7 “Do not disgrace your father by having sex with your mother [DOU].
Tsy hafaha’o ty heñan-drae’o ndra ty heñan-drene’o. Rene’o re, tsy haboa’o ty heña’e.
8 “Do not have sex with any of your father’s [other] wives, because that would disgrace your father.
Ko aboa’o ty heñam-balin-drae’o, fa heñan-drae’o.
9 “Do not have sex with your sister or your stepsister; it does not matter whether she was born in your house or somewhere else.
Le ty heñan-drahavave’o, he anak’ ampelan-drae’o ke anak’ ampelan-drene’o, he t’ie terak’ añ’ anjomba ke te terak’ amontoñe, tsy haboa’o ty heña’e.
10 “Do not have sex with your granddaughter, because that would disgrace you.
Ty heñan’ anak’ ampelan’ anadahi’o ke anak’ ampelan’ anak’ ampela’o, le tsy haboa’o amy te heña’o ty a’ iareo.
11 “Do not have sex with your half-sister, because she is your sister.
Ty heñan’ anak’ ampelam-balin-drae’o, i nasaman-drae’oy, tsy haboa’o fa rahavave’o.
12 “Do not have sex with your father’s sister, because she is your father’s close relative.
Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahavaven-drae’o, amy t’ie longon-drae’o.
13 “Do not have sex with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.
Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahavaven-drene’o, amy te longon-drene’o.
14 “Do not disgrace your (uncle/father’s brother) by having sex with his wife, because she is your aunt.
Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahalahin-drae’o. Ko vonje’o i vali’ey, fa rahavaven-drae’o.
15 “Do not have sex with [DOU] your daughter-in-law, because she is your son’s wife.
Tsy haboa’o ty heñam-binanto’o, fa valin’ana-dahi’o; tsy haboa’o ty heña’e.
16 “Do not have sex with your brother’s wife, because that would disgrace your brother.
Tsy haboa’o ty heñam-balin-drahalahi’o, fa heñan-drahalahi’o.
17 “Do not have sex with the daughter or granddaughter of any woman whom you have previously had sex with; they are [her] (OR, [your]) close relatives. Having sex with any of them would be a wicked thing to do.
Tsy songa haboa’o ty fimeñaran-drakemba naho ty anak’ ampela’e, tsy ho rambese’o ty anak’ ampelan’ anadahi’e ndra ty anak’ ampelan’ anak’ ampela’e hañafahañe ty heña’e; longo’o iereo, hativàñe izay.
18 “While your wife is still living, do not marry your wife’s sister and have sex with her.
Tsy halae’o ka ty ampela hampirafese’o aman-drahavave’e, hampiboake ty heña’e naho mbe veloñe i rahavave’ey.
19 “Do not have sex with any woman while she is having her monthly menstrual period.
Tsy hiharinea’o ka ty ampela hañafaha’o ty heña’e amy faleoram-piambola’ey;
20 “Do not (defile yourself/make yourself unacceptable to me) by having sex with someone else’s wife.
vaho tsy rantove’o ty vali’ ondaty, hanivà’o vatañe.
21 “Do not give any of your children to be burned to be a sacrifice to the god Molech, because that would show that you do not revere me [MTY], Yahweh, your God.
Ko mañenga ho soroheñe amy Moleka o tarira’oo, hanivà’o ty tahinan’ Añahare’o: Izaho Iehovà.
22 “No man should have sex with another man; that is detestable.
Tsy hiolotse ami’ty lahilahy irehe, manahake te aman’ ampela. Tiva izay.
23 “No one, man or woman, should (defile himself/cause himself to become unacceptable to me) by having sex with an animal; that is a perverse act.
Tsy hisahe biby irehe hanivà’o vatañe. Le tsy hijohañe añatrefa’ ty biby ty ampela hisahe ama’e; fa ota-faly.
24 “Do not (defile yourselves/cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me) in any of those ways, because doing those things is how the people of the nations that I expelled as you advanced became (unacceptable to me/defiled).
Ko maniva-vatañe an-dra’ inoñ’ inoñe amy rezay, fa ie ty nahativa o hene foko roàheko aolo’ areoo.
25 They even caused the land to become defiled, so I punished them for their sins, and [it was as though] the land vomited out the people who lived there.
Izay ty nahaveta i taney; aa le nametsahako fandilovañe, vaho naboloa’ i taney o mpimoneñe ama’eo.
26 You must all obey my laws and decrees. That includes you people who were born here and the foreigners who live among you.
Inahareo arè, tambozoro o fañèkoo naho o fepèkoo, ko manao i hativàñe rezay, ndra t’ie foko ndra renetane mañialo ama’ areo ao,
27 All those detestable things were done by the people who lived in this land before you came here, and they caused the land to become defiled.
(amy te ni-fanoe’ ondati’ i taneio, o taolo’ areoo, i hativàñe rezay: vaho nihaveta i taney)
28 So if you defile the land, I will get rid of [MET] you like I got rid of the people of those nations that were here before you came.
tsy mone haboloa’ i taney ka nahareo naho itivà’ areo, manahake ty nampiboloaña’e i foko limbeze’ areoy?
29 “You must not allow people who do any of those detestable things to associate with you who are my people.
Aa ndra ia’ ia manao ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy raha tiva rezay, le haitoañe am’ondati’eo indaty manao izay.
30 Obey everything that I command you to do, and do not defile yourselves by practicing any of the detestable customs that were practiced [by the people who were there] before you came. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding these things].”
Aa le ambeno o fañèkoo, tsy mone hanoe’ areo o sata’ tiva nanoeñe aolo’ areoo, tsy hanivà’ areo vatañe; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
