Levitikosy 18
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
After the doings of the land of Egypt in which ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
4 Ny fitsipiko no harahinareo, ary ny didiko no hotandremanareo, hanarahanareo azy: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
Ye shall perform my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to 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.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments: which if a man doeth, 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 to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rainao; fa reninao izy, ka aza mandry aminy.
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 Aza mandry amin’ ny renikelinao; fa nandrian’ ny rainao izy.
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy 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.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, [whether] born at home, or born abroad, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
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 thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs [is] thy own nakedness.
11 Aza mandry amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny renikelinao, izay teraky ny rainao; fa anabavinao izy; aza mandry aminy.
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten by thy father, (she [is] thy sister) thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Aza mandry amin’ ny anabavin-drainao; fa havan-drainao akaiky izy.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she [is] thy father's near kinswoman.
13 Aza mandry amin’ ny rahavavin-dreninao; fa havan-dreninao akaiky izy.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she [is] thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Aza mandry amin’ izay nandrian’ ny rahalahin-drainao; aza mila ny vadiny fa vadin’ ny rahalahin-drainao izy.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she [is] thy aunt.
15 Aza mandry amin’ ny vinantovavinao; fa vadin’ ny zanakao-lahy izy, koa aza mandry aminy.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she [is] thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Aza mandry amin’ ny vadin-drahalahinao; fa nandrian’ ny rahalahinao izy.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it [is] thy 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.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.
18 Ary aza mampakatra vehivavy ho rafin’ ny rahavaviny izay mbola velona.
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex [her], to uncover her nakedness besides the other in her life -[time].
19 Ary aza mila vehivavy mararin’ ny fadim-bolany handry aminy.
Also thou shalt not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Ary aza mandry amin’ ny vadin’ ny namanao, handoto ny tenanao aminy.
Moreover, thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself 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 thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
22 Aza mandry amin’ ny lehilahy tahaka ny fandry amin’ ny vehivavy; fa fahavetavetana izany.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] 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.
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.
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.
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out 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: therefore I do visit its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomiteth 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
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth 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, who [were] before you, and the land is defiled; )
28 mba tsy handotoanareo ny tany ka tsy handoavany anareo, tahaka ny nandoavany ny firenena izay talohanareo.
That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nations that [were] before you.
29 Fa izay rehetra manao izany fahavetavetana izany na dia iray aza dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny.
For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit [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 shall ye keep my ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves in them; I [am] the LORD your God.
