Leviticus 18
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 elan fahkang nu sin mwet Israel, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto 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.
After the doings of the Land of Egypt, wherein ye have dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you, shall ye not do; and in their customs shall ye not walk.
4 Akos ma sap luk, ac oru ma nga sapkin. Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos.
My ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: 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.”
And ye shall keep my statutes, and my ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord.
6 Nikmet orek kosro nu sin kutena mwet in sou lowos.
None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their 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.
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 Nikmet akmwekinye papa tomom ke kom orek kosro nu sin kutena sin mutan kial saya.
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
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.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, —even the nakedness of any of these shalt thou not uncover.
10 Nikmet orek kosro nu sin acn nutin wen nutum ku acn nutin acn nutum — ma inge ac fah sie mwe akmwekin nu sum.
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, —even the nakedness of any of these, shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy own nakedness.
11 Nikmet orek kosro nu sin acn nutin mutan kien papa tomom — el ma pacna wiom.
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, —thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Kom fah tiana orek kosro nu sin tamtael lun papa tomom, mweyen el ikwen pacna papa tomom.
The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13 Kom fah tiana orek kosro nu sin tamtael lun nina kiom, mweyen el ikwen pacna nina kiom.
The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien tamulel lun papa tomom — el oapana nina se kiom.
The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover: his wife shalt thou not approach, she is thy aunt.
15 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien wen nutum,
The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 ku nu sin mutan kien tamulel lom.
The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.
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.
The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover: her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter shalt thou not take, to uncover her nakedness; for they are near kinswomen; it is incest.
18 Nik kom payuk sin tamtael lun mutan kiom, ke lusenna pacl mutan kiom el srakna moul.
And a woman together with her sister shalt thou not take, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other, in her lifetime.
19 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin kutena mutan su oasr ke musen malem lal, mweyen el tia nasnas.
And a woman in the separation of her uncleanness shalt thou not approach, to uncover her nakedness.
20 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien siena mwet. Ma se inge ac fah akfohkfokye kom.
And with thy neighbor's wife shalt thou not lie carnally, to defile thyself with her.
21 Nikmet sang kutena sin tulik nutum in kisakinyuk nu sin god Molech, mweyen ouiya sacn ac aklusrongtenye Inen LEUM GOD.
And any of thy seed shalt thou not let pass through [the fire] to Molech, and thou shalt not profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
22 Wangin sie mukul ac fah oru inkanek in kosro nu sin siepah mukul — God El kwase ouiya sacn.
And with a man shalt thou not lie, as with a woman: it 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.
And with any beast shalt thou not lie to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
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 defile yourselves through any of these things.; for through all these have become defiled the nations which I cast out before you:
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 the land became defiled; wherefore I have visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited 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.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, and ye shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor the stranger that sojourneth 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 abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath become defiled; )
28 Fin ouinge, acn uh ac fah tia siskowosla, oana ke el tuh sisla mwet pegan su muta we meet liki kowos.
That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it hath vomited out the nations that 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.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, — even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their 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.”
Therefore shall ye keep my charge, so that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye do not defile yourselves therewith: I am the Lord your God.
