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.
“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person 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 person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to 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 all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t 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 will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
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 that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Dia manamasìna ny tenanareo ianareo, ka aoka ho masìna ianareo; fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.
8 Ary tandremo ny didiko, ka araho izany: Izaho no Jehovah, Izay manamasìna anareo.
You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.
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.
“‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
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, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely 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.
“‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
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 lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
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 lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
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 takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may 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 lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall 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 and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
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 takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.
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 lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall 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 shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.
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 lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.
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 takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.
22 Ary tandremo ny didiko rehetra sy ny fitsipiko rehetra, ka araho izy, mba tsy handoa anareo ny tany izay itondrako anareo honenana.
“‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
23 Ary aza manaraka ny fanaon’ ny firenena izay efa horoahiko eo anoloanareo; fa nanao izany rehetra izany izy, ka dia halako.
You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred 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.
But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the 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 shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for 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 shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
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 that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”
