< Leviticus 18 >
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses
The LORD said to Moses,
2 elan fahkang nu sin mwet Israel, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and 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 do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
4 Akos ma sap luk, ac oru ma nga sapkin. Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos.
You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and 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.”
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, 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 anyone who are his close relatives, 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.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor 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 uncover the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your 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.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born 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 of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs 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, conceived by your father, since she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 Kom fah tiana orek kosro nu sin tamtael lun papa tomom, mweyen el ikwen pacna papa tomom.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's flesh.
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: for she is your mother's flesh
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, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.
15 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien wen nutum,
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 ku nu sin mutan kien tamulel lom.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your 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.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Nik kom payuk sin tamtael lun mutan kiom, ke lusenna pacl mutan kiom el srakna moul.
"'You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.
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 to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
20 Nik kom orek kosro nu sin mutan kien siena mwet. Ma se inge ac fah akfohkfokye kom.
"'You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.
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 any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane 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 have sexual relations with a male, as with a woman. That is detestable.
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 have sexual relations with any animal to become defiled with it, nor shall any woman give herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it. It is a perversion.
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 in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
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.
The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her 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.
You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner 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, that were before you, and the land became 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 not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was 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 whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do 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 you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am the LORD your God.'"
