And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu ndị a sị ha, ‘Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.

Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.
4 Unu ga-edebe iwu m niile, gbasookwa ụkpụrụ m niile nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.

Neither shalt thou lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
24 “‘Unu emerụkwala onwe unu site na-ime ihe ndị a, nʼihi na ihe ndị a bụ ihe mba ndị ahụ na-eme. Ọ bụkwa nʼihi ya ka m ga-eji chụpụ ha site nʼala ahụ m ga-enye unu.
Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
25 Ọ bụladị ala ahụ niile ghọrọ ihe rụrụ arụ site nʼomume ndị a. Ọ bụ nke a mere m ji ata ndị bi nʼime ya ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha. Ala ahụ meghere ọnụ ya gbọpụta ndị bi nʼime ya.
and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
26 Unu ga-edebe iwu m na ụkpụrụ m ndị a niile. Unu emekwala ihe arụ ndị a, ma ndị amụrụ nʼala ma ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼetiti unu.
And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
27 Ala m na-aga inye unu rụrụ arụ nʼihi na ndị bi nʼime ya na-eme omume ndị a rụrụ arụ.
(for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )
28 Unu emekwala ihe arụ ndị a, nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na unu emee ha, ọ ga-emeghe ọnụ ya gbọpụta unu, dịka o si mee mba niile bụ ndị buru unu ụzọ biri nʼime ya.
and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
29 “‘Onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu mere ihe arụ ndị a, ka a ga-ekewapụ site nʼetiti ndị ya.
For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.
30 Nʼihi ya, lezienụ anya ka unu debe iwu m, ka unu ghara ime ihe arụ ndị a, nke ndị buru unu ụzọ biri nʼala ahụ mere. Ka unu gharakwa imerụ onwe unu site nʼomume arụ ndị a. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.’”
And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your God.
