Levitikosy 18
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo, taroño ty hoe: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
3 Ko anoe’ areo o satan-tane Mitsraime nimoneña’ areoo; le tsy hanoe’ areo ka o satan-tane Kanàne aneseako anahareoo, tsy hañaveloa’ areo o fañè’ iareoo.
You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
4 Hanoe’ areo o fepèkoo vaho hambena’ areo o fañèkoo, hañaveloa’ areo: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
5 Aa le ambeno o fañèkoo naho o fepèkoo, kanao mahaveloñe ondaty t’ie anoe’e: Izaho Iehovà.
So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
6 Tsy ama’ areo ty hitotoke an-dongo’e marine, hañafa-tsaron-kameñarañe: Izaho Iehovà.
You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.
7 Tsy hafaha’o ty heñan-drae’o ndra ty heñan-drene’o. Rene’o re, tsy haboa’o ty heña’e.
You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
8 Ko aboa’o ty heñam-balin-drae’o, fa heñan-drae’o.
And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
9 Le ty heñan-drahavave’o, he anak’ ampelan-drae’o ke anak’ ampelan-drene’o, he t’ie terak’ añ’ anjomba ke te terak’ amontoñe, tsy haboa’o ty heña’e.
You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
10 Ty heñan’ anak’ ampelan’ anadahi’o ke anak’ ampelan’ anak’ ampela’o, le tsy haboa’o amy te heña’o ty a’ iareo.
You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
11 Ty heñan’ anak’ ampelam-balin-drae’o, i nasaman-drae’oy, tsy haboa’o fa rahavave’o.
Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.
12 Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahavaven-drae’o, amy t’ie longon-drae’o.
You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.
13 Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahavaven-drene’o, amy te longon-drene’o.
You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.
14 Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahalahin-drae’o. Ko vonje’o i vali’ey, fa rahavaven-drae’o.
You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;
15 Tsy haboa’o ty heñam-binanto’o, fa valin’ana-dahi’o; tsy haboa’o ty heña’e.
Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
16 Tsy haboa’o ty heñam-balin-drahalahi’o, fa heñan-drahalahi’o.
You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
17 Tsy songa haboa’o ty fimeñaran-drakemba naho ty anak’ ampela’e, tsy ho rambese’o ty anak’ ampelan’ anadahi’e ndra ty anak’ ampelan’ anak’ ampela’e hañafahañe ty heña’e; longo’o iereo, hativàñe izay.
You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
18 Tsy halae’o ka ty ampela hampirafese’o aman-drahavave’e, hampiboake ty heña’e naho mbe veloñe i rahavave’ey.
And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
19 Tsy hiharinea’o ka ty ampela hañafaha’o ty heña’e amy faleoram-piambola’ey;
And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.
20 vaho tsy rantove’o ty vali’ ondaty, hanivà’o vatañe.
And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.
21 Ko mañenga ho soroheñe amy Moleka o tarira’oo, hanivà’o ty tahinan’ Añahare’o: Izaho Iehovà.
And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
22 Tsy hiolotse ami’ty lahilahy irehe, manahake te aman’ ampela. Tiva izay.
You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.
23 Tsy hisahe biby irehe hanivà’o vatañe. Le tsy hijohañe añatrefa’ ty biby ty ampela hisahe ama’e; fa ota-faly.
And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.
24 Ko maniva-vatañe an-dra’ inoñ’ inoñe amy rezay, fa ie ty nahativa o hene foko roàheko aolo’ areoo.
Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
25 Izay ty nahaveta i taney; aa le nametsahako fandilovañe, vaho naboloa’ i taney o mpimoneñe ama’eo.
And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.
26 Inahareo arè, tambozoro o fañèkoo naho o fepèkoo, ko manao i hativàñe rezay, ndra t’ie foko ndra renetane mañialo ama’ areo ao,
So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
27 (amy te ni-fanoe’ ondati’ i taneio, o taolo’ areoo, i hativàñe rezay: vaho nihaveta i taney)
(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them; )
28 tsy mone haboloa’ i taney ka nahareo naho itivà’ areo, manahake ty nampiboloaña’e i foko limbeze’ areoy?
So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.
29 Aa ndra ia’ ia manao ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy raha tiva rezay, le haitoañe am’ondati’eo indaty manao izay.
For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.
30 Aa le ambeno o fañèkoo, tsy mone hanoe’ areo o sata’ tiva nanoeñe aolo’ areoo, tsy hanivà’ areo vatañe; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
