Levitikosy 20
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Na iza na iza amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminy, no manolotra ny zanany ho an’ i Moloka, dia hatao maty tokoa: ny vahoaka no hitora-bato azy.
“Say to the people of Israel, 'Anyone among the people of Israel, or any foreigner who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech, must certainly be put to death. The people in the land must stone him with stones.
3 Ary ny Tavako hanandrina izany olona izany, ka hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy, satria nisy natolony ho an’ i Moloka ny zanany, handotoany ny fitoerako masìna sy hanamavoany ny anarako masìna.
I also will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given his child to Molech, so as to defile my holy place and profane my holy name.
4 Ary raha mody tsy mahita izany olona izany ny vahoaka mba tsy hahafaty azy, raha anolorany ho an’ i Moloka ny zanany,
If the people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they do not put him to death,
5 dia hanandrina izany olona izany sy ny ankohonany ny Tavako, ka haringako tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy mbamin’ izay rehetra mijangajanga manaraka azy hijangajanga amin’ i Moloka.
then I myself will set my face against that man and his clan, and I will cut him off and everyone else who prostitutes himself in order to play the harlot with Molech.
6 Ary ny olona izay mivily hanaraka izay manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra na izay mpanao hatsarana, hijangajanga hanaraka azy, dia hanandrina izany olona izany ny Tavako, ka hofongorako tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy.
The person who turns to those who talk with the dead, or to those who talk with spirits so as to prostitute themselves with them, I will set my face against that person; I will cut him off from among his people.
7 Dia manamasìna ny tenanareo ianareo, ka aoka ho masìna ianareo; fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
8 Ary tandremo ny didiko, ka araho izany: Izaho no Jehovah, Izay manamasìna anareo.
You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as holy.
9 Fa na iza na iza no manozona ny rainy na ny reniny dia hatao maty tokoa: efa nanozona ny rainy na ny reniny izy; ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
Everyone who curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, so he is guilty and deserves to die.
10 Ary ny lehilahy mijangajanga amin’ ny vadin’ olona, dia izay mijangajanga amin’ ny vadin’ ny namany, hatao maty tokoa, na ny mila, na ny ilainy.
The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, that is, anyone who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife—the adulterer and the adulteress must both certainly be put to death.
11 Ary ny olona izay mandry amin’ ny vadin-drainy dia efa nandry tamin’ izay nandrian-drainy; hatao maty tokoa izy roroa; ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
If a man lies with his father's wife, he uncovers his father's nakedness. Both the son and his father's wife must certainly be put to death. Their blood is upon them.
12 Ary raha misy lehilahy mandry amin’ ny vinantovaviny, dia hatao maty tokoa izy roroa; efa nanao zavatra izay fady indrindra izy; ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must certainly be put to death. They have committed perversion. They are guilty and deserve to die.
13 Ary raha misy lehilahy mandry amin’ ny lehilahy, tahaka ny fandry amin’ ny vehivavy, dia efa nanao fahavetavetana izy roa lahy; hatao maty tokoa izy; ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
If a man sleeps with another man, as with a woman, both of them have done something detestable. They must surely be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
14 Ary raha misy lehilahy nampirafy vehivavy mianaka, dia fahavetavetana izany; hodorana amin’ ny afo izy telo, mba tsy hisy fahavetavetana eo aminareo.
If a man marries a woman and also marries her mother, this is wickedness. They must be burned, both he and the women, so that there will be no wickedness among you.
15 Ary raha misy lehilahy mandry amin’ ny biby, dia hatao maty tokoa izy; ary ilay biby dia hovonoinareo koa.
If a man sleeps with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
16 Ary raha misy vehivavy manatona handry amin’ ny biby, dia, hovonoina izy sy ny biby; hatao maty tokoa izy roroa; ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
If a woman approaches any animal to sleep with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must certainly be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
17 Ary raha misy lehilahy manambady ny anabaviny, na zanakavavin’ ny rainy, na zanakavavin’ ny reniny, ka mahita ny fitanjahany, ary ravehivavy mahita ny fitanjahany kosa, dia zava-dratsy izany, ka hofongorana eo imason’ ny fireneny izy roroa; fa nandry tamin’ ny anabaviny ralehilahy ka meloka.
If a man sleeps with his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and he uncovers her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They must be cut off from the presence of their people, because he has slept with his sister. He must carry his guilt.
18 Ary raha misy lehilahy mandry amin’ ny vehivavy izay mararin’ ny fadim-bolany, dia nampisokatra ny fandehanan’ ny ràny izy, ary ravehivavy koa nanokatra ny fandehanan’ ny ràny, dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny izy roroa.
If a man sleeps with a woman during her menstrual period and has slept with her, he has uncovered the flow of her blood, the source of her blood. Both the man and woman must be cut off from among their people.
19 Ary aza mandry amin’ ny rahavavin-dreninao, na amin’ ny anabavin-drainao; fa mandry amin’ ny havany akaiky izay manao izany ka ho meloka.
You must not sleep with your mother's sister, or with your father's sister, because you would disgrace your close relative. You must carry your own guilt.
20 Ary raha misy lehilahy mandry amin’ ny vadin’ ny rahalahin-drainy, dia efa nandry tamin’ izay nandrian’ ny rahalahin-drainy izy ho meloka izy roroa ka ho faty momba.
If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin, and they will die without children.
21 Ary raha misy lehilahy maka ny vadin-drahalahiny, dia fahalotoana izany; nandry tamin’ izay nandrian’ ny rahalahiny izy, ka ho momba izy roroa.
If a man marries his brother's wife while his brother is still living, that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother, and I will take away from their children any property they may have inherited from their parents.
22 Ary tandremo ny didiko rehetra sy ny fitsipiko rehetra, ka araho izy, mba tsy handoa anareo ny tany izay itondrako anareo honenana.
You must therefore keep all my statutes and all my decrees; you must obey them so that the land into which I am bringing you to live will not vomit you up.
23 Ary aza manaraka ny fanaon’ ny firenena izay efa horoahiko eo anoloanareo; fa nanao izany rehetra izany izy, ka dia halako.
You must not walk in the customs of the nations that I will drive out before you, for they have done all these things, and I detest them.
24 Fa efa nolazaiko taminareo hoe: Hianareo handova ny taniny, fa Izaho no hanome azy ho lovanareo, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay nanavaka anareo tamin’ ny firenena samy hafa.
I said to you, “You will inherit their land; I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
25 Ary avaho ny biby madio sy ny maloto, ary ny vorona maloto sy ny madio; ary aza mametaveta ny fanahinareo amin’ ny biby, na amin’ ny vorona, na amin’ izay rehetra mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, izay navahako ka nolazaiko taminareo fa maloto.
You must therefore distinguish between the clean animals and the unclean, and between the unclean birds and the clean. You must not defile yourselves with unclean animals or birds or with any creature that crawls along the ground, which I have separated as unclean from you.
26 Ary aoka ho masìna ho Ahy ianareo, satria masìna Aho Jehovah; ary efa navahako tamin’ ny firenena samy hafa ianareo mba ho Ahy.
You must be holy, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, for you belong to me.
27 Ary na lehilahy na vehivavy izay manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra na izay mpanao hatsarana dia hatao maty tokoa: hitora-bato azy ny olona; ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
A man or a woman who talks with the dead or who talks with spirits must certainly be put to death. The people must stone them with stones. They are guilty and deserve to die.'”
