Leviticus 18
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah your God;
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
3 according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.
Musamachite zomwe amachita anthu a ku Igupto kumene munkakhala kuja, ndiponso musamachite zomwe amachita anthu a ku Kanaani kumene ndikukupititsani. Musatsatire miyambo yawo.
4 'My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God;
Inu muzimvera malamulo anga ndipo muzisamalitsa kutsatira malangizo anga. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
5 and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah.
Choncho sungani malangizo ndi malamulo anga, popeza munthu amene amvera zimenezi adzakhala ndi moyo. Ine ndine Yehova.
6 'None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I [am] Jehovah.

8 'The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover; it [is] the nakedness of thy father.

10 'The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter: thou dost not uncover their nakedness; for theirs [is] thy nakedness.

14 'The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; she [is] thine aunt.
“‘Usachititse manyazi mchimwene wa abambo ako pogonana ndi mkazi wake popeza amenewo ndi azakhali ako.
15 'The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not uncover; she [is] thy son's wife; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

17 'The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take 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 a woman unto another thou dost not take, 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.

“‘Usapereke mwana wako aliyense kuti akhale nsembe yamoto kwa Moleki ndi kuyipitsa dzina la Yehova. Ine ndine Yehova.
22 'And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it [is].
“‘Usagonane ndi mwamuna ngati mkazi; chimenecho ndi chinthu chonyansa.
23 'And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for uncleanness with it; and a woman doth not stand before a beast to lie down with it; confusion it [is].
“‘Usagonane ndi nyama ndi kudziyipitsa nayo. Mkazi asadzipereke kwa nyama kuti agonane nayo. Chimenecho ndi chisokonezo.
24 'Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations 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 upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:
Choncho dziko linayipa ndipo ndinalilanga chifukwa cha tchimo lake. Motero dzikolo linasanza anthu ake okhalamo.
26 and ye — ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not [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 all these abominations have the men of the land done who [are] before you, and the land is defiled),
pakuti zinthu zonsezi ndi zomwe ankachita anthu amene ankakhala mʼdzikomo inu musanafike, ndipo dziko linayipitsidwa.
28 and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath 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 any one who doth [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 ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah your God.'
Choncho mverani malangizo anga oletsa kuchita miyambo yonyansayi imene ankatsatira anthu amene analipo inu musanafike ndi kudziyipitsa nayo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
