Leviticus 18
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 elan fahkang nu sin mwet Israel, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I am the Lord your God.
3 Nik kowos oru ouiya lun mwet Egypt, yen ma kowos tuh muta we meet, ku ouiya lun mwet in acn Canaan, yen su nga ac us kowos nu we.
You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
4 Akos ma sap luk, ac oru ma nga sapkin. Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos.
You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
5 Fahsr tukun oakwuk ac ma sap su nga sot nu suwos. Kowos fin oru ouinge, kowos ac fah moul. Nga pa LEUM GOD.”
Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.
6 Nikmet orek kosro nu sin kutena mwet in sou lowos.
No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
7 Nikmet akmwekinye papa tomom ke kom orek kosro nu sin nina kiom. Kom fah tiana akmwekinye nina kiom sifacna.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 Nikmet akmwekinye papa tomom ke kom orek kosro nu sin kutena sin mutan kial saya.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your father.
9 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin tamtael lom, ku nu sin acn nutin papa tomom ku nina kiom saya — el finne wi kom matula in lohm sum, ku tia.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether from father or from mother, whether she was born at home or abroad.
10 Nikmet orek kosro nu sin acn nutin wen nutum ku acn nutin acn nutum — ma inge ac fah sie mwe akmwekin nu sum.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or your daughter’s daughter; for it is your own nakedness.
11 Nikmet orek kosro nu sin acn nutin mutan kien papa tomom — el ma pacna wiom.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to your father, and who is your sister.
12 Kom fah tiana orek kosro nu sin tamtael lun papa tomom, mweyen el ikwen pacna papa tomom.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; for she is the flesh of your father.
13 Kom fah tiana orek kosro nu sin tamtael lun nina kiom, mweyen el ikwen pacna nina kiom.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is the flesh of your mother.
14 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien tamulel lun papa tomom — el oapana nina se kiom.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, nor shall you approach his wife, who is joined to you by affinity.
15 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien wen nutum,
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife; neither shall you expose her dishonor.
16 ku nu sin mutan kien tamulel lom.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your brother.
17 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin sie mutan nutin sie mutan su kom orek kosro nu se meet, ku nu sin tulik nutin natu. Sahp elos ac sou lom — ac tuh pwanang kom orek pukasr.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your wife and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, so as to uncover her dishonor; for they are her flesh, and such sexual intercourse is incest.
18 Nik kom payuk sin tamtael lun mutan kiom, ke lusenna pacl mutan kiom el srakna moul.
You shall not take your wife’s sister as a rival mistress; nor shall you uncover her nakedness, while your wife is still living.
19 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin kutena mutan su oasr ke musen malem lal, mweyen el tia nasnas.
You shall not approach a woman who is undergoing menstruation, nor shall you uncover her foulness.
20 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien siena mwet. Ma se inge ac fah akfohkfokye kom.
You shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, nor shall you be defiled by the mingling of seed.
21 Nikmet sang kutena sin tulik nutum in kisakinyuk nu sin god Molech, mweyen ouiya sacn ac aklusrongtenye Inen LEUM GOD.
You shall not give some of your seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor to pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.
22 Wangin sie mukul ac fah oru inkanek in kosro nu sin siepah mukul — God El kwase ouiya sacn.
You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.
23 Wangin mukul ku mutan ac fah orek kosro nu sin kutena ma orakrak. Kain in elah fohkfok inge ac fah akfohkfokye kom.
You shall not commit sexual acts with any animal, nor shall you be defiled by it. A woman shall not lie down with a beast, nor commit sexual acts with it; for this is wickedness.
24 Nik kowos akfohkfokye kowos sifacna ke kain in ouiya inge, tuh pa inge ouiya ma akfohkfokye mwet pegan su muta in acn inge meet liki kowos, su LEUM GOD El ac lusak tuh kowos in ku in utyak nu in acn selos.
Do not pollute yourselves with any of these things, by which all of the nations, which I will cast out in your sight, have been contaminated
25 Orekma lalos akfohkfokyela acn uh, ouinge LEUM GOD El kalyei acn uh, ac oru tuh acn uh in wotela mwet su tuh muta we.
and by which the land has been polluted. I will visit the wickedness of the land, so that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
26 Tusruktu kowos, mwet Israel oayapa mwetsac nukewa su muta inmasrlowos, fah liyaung ma nga sapkin ac oakwuk luk, ac tia oru kutena sin ouiya koluk inge.
Keep my ordinances and judgments, and do not do any of these abominations: the native born, as well as the settler, who sojourns among you.
27 (Mweyen mwet ma tuh muta fin acn se inge meet liki kowos, elos tuh oru ouiya koluk inge, pwanang kolukla acn se inge.)
For all these detestable things were done by the inhabitants of the land who were here before you, and they have polluted it.
28 Fin ouinge, acn uh ac fah tia siskowosla, oana ke el tuh sisla mwet pegan su muta we meet liki kowos.
Therefore, beware, lest in a similar manner, it may vomit you out as well, if you do these same things, just as it vomited out the people who were before you.
29 Kowos etu lah kutena mwet su oru kutena sin ouiya koluk inge ac fah tia sifil pangpang sie sin mwet lun God.
Every soul who shall commit any of these abominations shall perish from the midst of his people.
30 Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Akos oakwuk ma nga sot, ac tia fahsr tukun ouiya lun mwet su tuh muta fin acn se inge meet liki kowos, ac nikmet oru kutena sin ma inge in akfohkfokye kowos sifacna. Nga LEUM GOD lowos.”
Keep my commandments. Do not be willing to do the things which have been done by those who were before you, and do not be polluted by these things. I am the Lord your God.
