Levitikọs 20
1 Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Onye Izrel ọbụla maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla bi nʼetiti unu, nke weere nwa ya nye maka ịchụrụ Molek aja, aghaghị ime ka ọ nwụọ. Ndị mmadụ ga-ewere nkume tugbuo ya.
Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers, that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die: the people of the land shall stone him.
3 Mụ onwe m ga-emegide onye ahụ, bipụ ya site nʼetiti ndị ya, nʼihi na o merụọla ebe nsọ m, mee ka aha m gharakwa ịdị nsọ, site nʼiji ụmụ ya chụọrọ Molek aja.
And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.
4 Ọ bụrụ na ndị obodo elezie anya mee omume dịka a ga-asị na ha amaghị ihe onye ahụ mere, hapụkwa igbu ya, mgbe o were otu nʼime ụmụ ya nye Molek,
And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:
5 mụ onwe m ga-emegide onye ahụ na ezinaụlọ ya bipụ ha site nʼetiti ndị ya. Otu a kwa ka m ga-eme ya na ndị niile so ya merụọ onwe ha site nʼife arụsị Molek.
I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with Moloch, out of the midst of their people.
6 “‘Aga m edo ihu m megide onye ọbụla gara jụọ ase site nʼaka mmụọ ọjọọ, maọbụ onye gara na dibịa afa gbaa afa, site nʼiso ha kwaa iko. Aga m ekewapụ onye ahụ site nʼetiti ndị ya.
The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them, I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
7 “‘Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, ma dịkwanụ nsọ nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy because I am the Lord your God.
8 Debenụ ụkpụrụ m niile, ma gbasoonụ ha nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo unu nsọ.
Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you.
9 “‘Onye ọbụla kọchara nne ya maọbụ nna ya ka a ga-egbu nʼihi na ọ kọchara nne na nna ya. Ọbara onye dị otu a ga-adịkwa ya nʼisi.
He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die: he hath cursed his father, and mother, let his blood be upon him.
10 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla edinakwuru nwunye nwoke ọzọ, ya bụ nwunye onye agbataobi ya, nwoke ahụ na nwanyị kwara iko ka a ga-egbu.
If any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile his neighbour’s wife, let them be put to death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 “‘Nwoke ọbụla ya na nwunye nna ya dinakọrọ nwe mmekọ, emerụọla nna ya. A ga-egbu nwoke ahụ na nwanyị ahụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
If a man lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of his father, let them both be put to death: their blood be upon them.
12 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla edinakwuru nwunye nwa ya, wetara onwe ha ikpe ọmụma, a ga-egbu ha abụọ nʼihi na ọ bụ arụ ka ha mere.
If any man lie with his daughter in law, let both die, because they have done a heinous crime: their blood be upon them.
13 “‘Ọ bụrụ nwoke na nwoke ibe ya edinakọọ nwee ụdị mmekọ edina nwoke na nwanyị, a ga-egbu ha abụọ nʼihi na ihe ha mere bụ ihe rụrụ arụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death: their blood be upon them.
14 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke alụọ nwanyị na nne mụrụ ya, ajọ ihe ka ọ bụ. Nwoke ahụ na ndị inyom ndị ahụ ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ, ka ihe ọjọọ dị otu a hapụ ịdị nʼetiti unu.
If any man after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath done a heinous crime: he shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall so great an abomination remain in the midst of you.
15 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke na anụmanụ enwee mmekọrịta, a ga-egbu nwoke ahụ gbukwaa anụmanụ ahụ.
He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him die, the beast also ye shall kill.
16 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ọbụla abịaruo anụmanụ ọbụla nso dinakwuru ya inwe mmekọ, a ga-egbu nwanyị ahụ na anụmanụ ahụ, nʼihi na ha kwesiri ọnwụ. Ọbara ha ga-adị ha nʼisi.
The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed together with the same: their blood be upon them.
17 “‘Nwoke ọbụla ya na nwanne ya nwanyị nwere mmekọ edina, maọbụ nwa afọ nne ya maọbụ nwa nwunye nna ya, a ga-ekpochapụ ha site nʼihu ọha mmadụ nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe ihere dị ukwuu ka ha mere. Ọ merụọla nwanne ya, nʼihi ya ikpe ọmụma dị ya nʼisi.
If any man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her brother’s shame: they have committed a crime: they shall be slain, in the sight of their people, because they have discovered one another’s nakedness, and they shall bear their iniquity.
18 “‘Nwoke ọbụla nke ya na nwanyị nọ na nsọ nwanyị ya dinakọrọ nwee mmekọ ekpugheela adịghị ọcha nwanyị ahụ. Nwanyị ahụ nʼonwe ya ekpugheekwala adịghị ọcha nke ya. A ga-ebipụ ha abụọ site nʼetiti ndị ha.
If any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed out of the midst of their people.
19 “‘Ị gaghị enwe mmekọ edina nʼetiti gị na nwanne nwanyị nne gị maọbụ nwanne nwanyị nna gị, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe nleda anya nye onye ọbara jịkọrọ gị na ya. Ikpe ọmụma ga-adịrị unu abụọ.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, and of thy aunt by thy father: he that doth this, hath uncovered the shame of his own flesh, both shall bear their iniquity.
20 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla na nwunye nwanne nna ya edinaa, ọ bụ omume ileda anya nye nwanne nna ya. Ha ga-ebu mmehie ha. Ha ga-anwụ na-amụtaghị nwa.
If any mall lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, both shall bear their sin: they shall die without children.
21 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke alụọ nwunye nwanne ya, ọ bụ omume rụrụ arụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe nleda anya nye nwanne ya. Ha ga-agba aka nwa.
He that marrieth his brother’s wife, doth an unlawful thing, he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness: they shall be without children.
22 “‘Debenụ iwu ndị a na ụkpụrụ ndị a, ma gbasoonụ ha ka ala ahụ m na-eduba unu nʼime ya hapụ imeghe ọnụ ya gbụpụ unu.
Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also out.
23 Unu agbasola omenaala ndị mba niile a m na-achụpụ site nʼala m na-enye unu, nʼihi na ha na-eme ihe ndị a niile m nyere unu nʼiwu emela. Ọ bụ nke a mere ihe banyere ha ji sọọ m oyi.
Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out before you. For they have done all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 Ma agwala m unu sị, “Unu ga-eketa ala ha. Aga m enye ya unu ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa unu. Ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.” Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu onye kewapụtara unu doo unu iche site na mba ndị ọzọ niile.
But to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.
25 “‘Unu aghaghị ịkpa oke nʼetiti anụmanụ ndị dị ọcha iri eri, na anụmanụ ndị na-adịghị ọcha, na nʼetiti anụ ufe dị ọcha iri eri na ndị rụrụ arụ. Unu emerụla onwe unu site nʼiri anụmanụ maọbụ anụ ufe, maọbụ ihe ọzọ na-akpụgharị nʼala, ndị ahụ m kewapụrụ iche dịka ihe rụrụ arụ.
Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean: defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn you to be unclean.
26 Unu ga-adị nsọ nye m, nʼihi na mụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị, dị nsọ. Ekewapụtala m unu, doo unu iche, site nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ niile, ka unu bụrụ nke m.
You shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from other people, that you should be mine.
27 “‘A ga-eji nkume tugbuo nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ọbụla nke na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase, maọbụ dibịa afa nọ nʼetiti unu ka ọ nwụọ. Ọbara ha ga-adịkwa ha nʼisi.’”
A man, or woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining spirit, dying let them die: they shall stone them: their blood be upon them.
