Levitikosy 18
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
The LORD said to Moses,
2 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo:
"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am the LORD your God.
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 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 Ny fitsipiko no harahinareo, ary ny didiko no hotandremanareo, hanarahanareo azy: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am the LORD your God.
5 Ary tandremo ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko; fa raha mahatandrina izany ny olona, dia ho velona amin’ izany izy: Izaho no Jehovah.
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 Aza misy mila izay havany akaiky handry aminy ianareo: Izaho no Jehovah.
"'None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rainao; fa reninao izy, ka aza mandry aminy.
"'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 Aza mandry amin’ ny renikelinao; fa nandrian’ ny rainao izy.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your father's nakedness.
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.
"'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 Aza mandry amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny zanakao-lahy, na ny zanakavavin’ ny zanakao-vavy; fa avy aminao no nihavian’ izy roa.
"'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 Aza mandry amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny renikelinao, izay teraky ny rainao; fa anabavinao izy; aza mandry aminy.
"'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 Aza mandry amin’ ny anabavin-drainao; fa havan-drainao akaiky izy.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's flesh.
13 Aza mandry amin’ ny rahavavin-dreninao; fa havan-dreninao akaiky izy.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's flesh
14 Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rahalahin-drainao; aza mila ny vadiny fa vadin’ ny rahalahin-drainao izy.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.
15 Aza mandry amin’ ny vinantovavinao; fa vadin’ ny zanakao-lahy izy, koa aza mandry aminy.
"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 Aza mandry amin’ ny vadin-drahalahinao; fa nandrian’ ny rahalahinao izy.
"'You shall 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 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 Ary aza mampakatra vehivavy ho rafin’ ny rahavaviny izay mbola velona.
"'You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.
19 Ary aza mila vehivavy mararin’ ny fadim-bolany handry aminy.
"'You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
20 Ary aza mandry amin’ ny vadin’ ny namanao, handoto ny tenanao aminy.
"'You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself 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.
"'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 Aza mandry amin’ ny lehilahy tahaka ny fandry amin’ ny vehivavy; fa fahavetavetana izany.
"'You shall not have sexual relations with a male, as with a woman. That is detestable.
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.
"'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 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 in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 Ary efa maloto ny tany, ka dia hamaly azy Aho noho ny helony, ary haloan’ ny tany ny mponina eo.
The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her 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
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 (fa izany fahavetavetana rehetra izany no nataon’ ny tompon-tany izay talohanareo, ka dia naloto ny tany),
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);
28 mba tsy handotoanareo ny tany ka tsy handoavany anareo, tahaka ny nandoavany ny firenena izay talohanareo.
that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Fa izay rehetra manao izany fahavetavetana izany na dia iray aza dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny.
"'For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among 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.
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.'"
