Leviticus 18
1 The LORD said to Moses,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.
Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo:
3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.
Aza manao araka ny fanaon’ ny tany Egypta, izay nonenanareo; ary aza manao araka ny fanaon’ ny tany Kanana, izay ampidirako anareo, ary aza manaraka ny fombany.
4 You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.
Ny fitsipiko no harahinareo, ary ny didiko no hotandremanareo, hanarahanareo azy: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am the LORD.
Ary tandremo ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko; fa raha mahatandrina izany ny olona, dia ho velona amin’ izany izy: Izaho no Jehovah.
6 “‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
Aza misy mila izay havany akaiky handry aminy ianareo: Izaho no Jehovah.
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.
Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rainao; fa reninao izy, ka aza mandry aminy.
8 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
Aza mandry amin’ ny renikelinao; fa nandrian’ ny rainao izy.
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.
Aza mandry amin’ ny anabavinao, zanaky ny rainao, na zanaky ny reninao, na teraka tao an-trano, na teraka tany ivelany; aza mandry aminy.
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.
Aza mandry amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny zanakao-lahy, na ny zanakavavin’ ny zanakao-vavy; fa avy aminao no nihavian’ izy roa.
11 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
Aza mandry amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny renikelinao, izay teraky ny rainao; fa anabavinao izy; aza mandry aminy.
12 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.
Aza mandry amin’ ny anabavin-drainao; fa havan-drainao akaiky izy.
13 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
Aza mandry amin’ ny rahavavin-dreninao; fa havan-dreninao akaiky izy.
14 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.
Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rahalahin-drainao; aza mila ny vadiny fa vadin’ ny rahalahin-drainao izy.
15 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
Aza mandry amin’ ny vinantovavinao; fa vadin’ ny zanakao-lahy izy, koa aza mandry aminy.
16 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
Aza mandry amin’ ny vadin-drahalahinao; fa nandrian’ ny rahalahinao izy.
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.
Aza mandry amin’ ny vehivavy sy ny zananivavy; aza maka ny zanakavavin’ ny zananilahy, na ny zanakavavin’ ny zananivavy, handry aminy; havany akaiky ireo, ka fahavetavetana izany.
18 “‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.
Ary aza mampakatra vehivavy ho rafin’ ny rahavaviny izay mbola velona.
19 “‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
Ary aza mila vehivavy mararin’ ny fadim-bolany handry aminy.
20 “‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
Ary aza mandry amin’ ny vadin’ ny namanao, handoto ny tenanao aminy.
21 “‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
Ary aza misy ampandehaninao hamaky ny afo ho an’ i Moloka ny zanakao; ary aza manamavo ny anaran’ Andriamanitrao: Izaho no Jehovah.
22 “‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.
Aza mandry amin’ ny lehilahy tahaka ny fandry amin’ ny vehivavy; fa fahavetavetana izany.
23 “‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
Ary aza mandry amin’ ny biby handoto ny tenanao aminy; ary aoka tsy hisy vehivavy hety handrian’ ny biby; fa zavatra fady indrindra izany.
24 “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
Aza mandoto ny tenanareo amin’ izany zavatra izany akory; fa izany rehetra izany no nandotoan’ ny jentilisa ny tenany, izay efa horoahiko eo anoloanareo.
25 The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
Ary efa maloto ny tany, ka dia hamaly azy Aho noho ny helony, ary haloan’ ny tany ny mponina eo.
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
Fa mitandrema ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko ianareo, ka aza misy ataonareo izany fahavetavetana izany, na ny tompon-tany, na ny vahiny eo aminareo
27 (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),
(fa izany fahavetavetana rehetra izany no nataon’ ny tompon-tany izay talohanareo, ka dia naloto ny tany),
28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
mba tsy handotoanareo ny tany ka tsy handoavany anareo, tahaka ny nandoavany ny firenena izay talohanareo.
29 “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
Fa izay rehetra manao izany fahavetavetana izany na dia iray aza dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny.
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 the LORD your God.’”
Koa dia tandremo izay asaiko tandremana, mba tsy hisy hataonareo akory izany fanao vetaveta izany, izay nataon’ ny olona talohanareo, ka aza mandoto ny tenanareo amin’ izany: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
