Levitikosy 18
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo:
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: I [am] your God YHWH;
3 Aza manao araka ny fanaon’ ny tany Egypta, izay nonenanareo; ary aza manao araka ny fanaon’ ny tany Kanana, izay ampidirako anareo, ary aza manaraka ny fombany.
you do not do according to the work of the land of Egypt in which you have dwelt, and you do not do according to the work of the land of Canaan to where I am bringing you in, and you do not walk in their statutes.
4 Ny fitsipiko no harahinareo, ary ny didiko no hotandremanareo, hanarahanareo azy: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
You do My judgments and you keep My statutes, to walk in them; I [am] your God YHWH.
5 Ary tandremo ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko; fa raha mahatandrina izany ny olona, dia ho velona amin’ izany izy: Izaho no Jehovah.
And you have kept My statutes and My judgments which man does and lives in them; I [am] YHWH.
6 Aza misy mila izay havany akaiky handry aminy ianareo: Izaho no Jehovah.
None of you draws near to any relation of his flesh to uncover nakedness; I [am] YHWH.
7 Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rainao; fa reninao izy, ka aza mandry aminy.
You do not uncover the nakedness of your father and the nakedness of your mother, she [is] your mother; you do not uncover her nakedness.
8 Aza mandry amin’ ny renikelinao; fa nandrian’ ny rainao izy.
You do not uncover the nakedness of the wife of your father; it [is] the nakedness of your father.
9 Aza mandry amin’ ny anabavinao, zanaky ny rainao, na zanaky ny reninao, na teraka tao an-trano, na teraka tany ivelany; aza mandry aminy.
The nakedness of your sister, daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, born at home or born outside—you do not uncover their nakedness.
10 Aza mandry amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny zanakao-lahy, na ny zanakavavin’ ny zanakao-vavy; fa avy aminao no nihavian’ izy roa.
The nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter—you do not uncover their nakedness; for theirs [is] your nakedness.
11 Aza mandry amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny renikelinao, izay teraky ny rainao; fa anabavinao izy; aza mandry aminy.
The nakedness of a daughter of your father’s wife, begotten of your father, she [is] your sister—you do not uncover her nakedness.
12 Aza mandry amin’ ny anabavin-drainao; fa havan-drainao akaiky izy.
You do not uncover the nakedness of a sister of your father; she [is] a relation of your father.
13 Aza mandry amin’ ny rahavavin-dreninao; fa havan-dreninao akaiky izy.
You do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she [is] your mother’s relation.
14 Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rahalahin-drainao; aza mila ny vadiny fa vadin’ ny rahalahin-drainao izy.
You do not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother; you do not draw near to his wife; she [is] your aunt.
15 Aza mandry amin’ ny vinantovavinao; fa vadin’ ny zanakao-lahy izy, koa aza mandry aminy.
You do not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she [is] your son’s wife; you do not uncover her nakedness.
16 Aza mandry amin’ ny vadin-drahalahinao; fa nandrian’ ny rahalahinao izy.
You do not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it [is] your brother’s nakedness.
17 Aza mandry amin’ ny vehivavy sy ny zananivavy; aza maka ny zanakavavin’ ny zananilahy, na ny zanakavavin’ ny zananivavy, handry aminy; havany akaiky ireo, ka fahavetavetana izany.
You do not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor do you take her son’s daughter and her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her relations; it [is] wickedness.
18 Ary aza mampakatra vehivavy ho rafin’ ny rahavaviny izay mbola velona.
And you do not take a woman [in addition] to her sister, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.
19 Ary aza mila vehivavy mararin’ ny fadim-bolany handry aminy.
And you do not draw near to a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.
20 Ary aza mandry amin’ ny vadin’ ny namanao, handoto ny tenanao aminy.
And you do not give your seed [from] intercourse to the wife of your fellow, to become unclean with her.
21 Ary aza misy ampandehaninao hamaky ny afo ho an’ i Moloka ny zanakao; ary aza manamavo ny anaran’ Andriamanitrao: Izaho no Jehovah.
And you do not give from your seed to pass over to the Molech, nor do you defile the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH.
22 Aza mandry amin’ ny lehilahy tahaka ny fandry amin’ ny vehivavy; fa fahavetavetana izany.
And you do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it [is] an abomination.
23 Ary aza mandry amin’ ny biby handoto ny tenanao aminy; ary aoka tsy hisy vehivavy hety handrian’ ny biby; fa zavatra fady indrindra izany.
And you do not commit your intercourse with any beast, to become unclean with it; and a woman does not stand before a beast to mate with it; it [is] perversion.
24 Aza mandoto ny tenanareo amin’ izany zavatra izany akory; fa izany rehetra izany no nandotoan’ ny jentilisa ny tenany, izay efa horoahiko eo anoloanareo.
Do not defile yourselves with all these, for with all these the nations have been defiled which I am sending away from before you;
25 Ary efa maloto ny tany, ka dia hamaly azy Aho noho ny helony, ary haloan’ ny tany ny mponina eo.
and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity on it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
26 Fa mitandrema ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko ianareo, ka aza misy ataonareo izany fahavetavetana izany, na ny tompon-tany, na ny vahiny eo aminareo
And you have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not do [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,
27 (fa izany fahavetavetana rehetra izany no nataon’ ny tompon-tany izay talohanareo, ka dia naloto ny tany),
for the men of the land who [are] before you have done all these abominations and the land is defiled,
28 mba tsy handotoanareo ny tany ka tsy handoavany anareo, tahaka ny nandoavany ny firenena izay talohanareo.
and the land does not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it has vomited out the nation which [is] before you;
29 Fa izay rehetra manao izany fahavetavetana izany na dia iray aza dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny.
for anyone who does [any] of all these abominations—even the persons who are doing [so]—have been cut off from the midst of their people;
30 Koa dia tandremo izay asaiko tandremana, mba tsy hisy hataonareo akory izany fanao vetaveta izany, izay nataon’ ny olona talohanareo, ka aza mandoto ny tenanareo amin’ izany: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
and you have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and you do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] your God YHWH.”
