Levitikọs 20

1 Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,

And Jehovah speaketh unto 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.

'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do stone him with stones;

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 — I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute 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 really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,

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.

then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from 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.

'And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.

7 “‘Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, ma dịkwanụ nsọ nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.

'And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] Jehovah your God;

8 Debenụ ụkpụrụ m niile, ma gbasoonụ ha nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị onye na-edo unu nsọ.

and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying 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.

'For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood [is] on 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.

'And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife — who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour — the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.

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.

'And a man who lieth with his father's wife — the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered — both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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.

'And a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law — both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood [is] on 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.

'And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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.

'And a man who taketh the woman and her mother — it [is] wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.

15 “‘Ọ bụrụ na nwoke na anụmanụ enwee mmekọrịta, a ga-egbu nwoke ahụ gbukwaa anụmanụ ahụ.

'And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.

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.

'And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it — thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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.

'And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.

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.

'And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, — even both of them have been cut off from 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.

'And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.

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.

'And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.

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.

'And a man who taketh his brother's wife — it [is] impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.

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.

'And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it;

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.

and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with 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.

and I say to you, Ye — ye do possess their ground, and I — I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples.

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.

'And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth [on] the ground which I have separated to you for 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.

and ye have been holy to Me; for holy [am] I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become 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.’”

'And a man or woman — when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who [are] wizards — are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood [is] on them.'
