Levitikosy 18
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
The LORD said to Moses,
2 Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo, taroño ty hoe: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘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 shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.
4 Hanoe’ areo o fepèkoo vaho hambena’ areo o fañèkoo, hañaveloa’ areo: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in 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.
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am the LORD.
6 Tsy ama’ areo ty hitotoke an-dongo’e marine, hañafa-tsaron-kameñarañe: Izaho Iehovà.
“‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: 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 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 Ko aboa’o ty heñam-balin-drae’o, fa heñan-drae’o.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
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 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 Ty heñan’ anak’ ampelan’ anadahi’o ke anak’ ampelan’ anak’ ampela’o, le tsy haboa’o amy te heña’o ty a’ iareo.
“‘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 Ty heñan’ anak’ ampelam-balin-drae’o, i nasaman-drae’oy, tsy haboa’o fa rahavave’o.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
12 Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahavaven-drae’o, amy t’ie longon-drae’o.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.
13 Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahavaven-drene’o, amy te longon-drene’o.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
14 Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahalahin-drae’o. Ko vonje’o i vali’ey, fa rahavaven-drae’o.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.
15 Tsy haboa’o ty heñam-binanto’o, fa valin’ana-dahi’o; tsy haboa’o ty heña’e.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 Tsy haboa’o ty heñam-balin-drahalahi’o, fa heñan-drahalahi’o.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
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 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 Tsy halae’o ka ty ampela hampirafese’o aman-drahavave’e, hampiboake ty heña’e naho mbe veloñe i rahavave’ey.
“‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.
19 Tsy hiharinea’o ka ty ampela hañafaha’o ty heña’e amy faleoram-piambola’ey;
“‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
20 vaho tsy rantove’o ty vali’ ondaty, hanivà’o vatañe.
“‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
21 Ko mañenga ho soroheñe amy Moleka o tarira’oo, hanivà’o ty tahinan’ Añahare’o: Izaho Iehovà.
“‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
22 Tsy hiolotse ami’ty lahilahy irehe, manahake te aman’ ampela. Tiva izay.
“‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.
23 Tsy hisahe biby irehe hanivà’o vatañe. Le tsy hijohañe añatrefa’ ty biby ty ampela hisahe ama’e; fa ota-faly.
“‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
24 Ko maniva-vatañe an-dra’ inoñ’ inoñe amy rezay, fa ie ty nahativa o hene foko roàheko aolo’ areoo.
“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 Izay ty nahaveta i taney; aa le nametsahako fandilovañe, vaho naboloa’ i taney o mpimoneñe ama’eo.
The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
26 Inahareo arè, tambozoro o fañèkoo naho o fepèkoo, ko manao i hativàñe rezay, ndra t’ie foko ndra renetane mañialo ama’ areo ao,
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 (amy te ni-fanoe’ ondati’ i taneio, o taolo’ areoo, i hativàñe rezay: vaho nihaveta i taney)
(for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),
28 tsy mone haboloa’ i taney ka nahareo naho itivà’ areo, manahake ty nampiboloaña’e i foko limbeze’ areoy?
that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Aa ndra ia’ ia manao ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy raha tiva rezay, le haitoañe am’ondati’eo indaty manao izay.
“‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall 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.
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.’”
