Levitikosy 20
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Saontsio ty hoe ka o ana’ Israeleo: Ndra iaia amo ana’ Israeleo ke amo renetane mimoneñe e Israeleo ze manolotse ty raik’ amo tarira’eo amy Moleka ro havetrake; le ondati’ i taneio ro handretsa-bato ama’e.
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
3 Hatreatrèn-tareheko indatiy le haitoako am’ ondati’eo, amy nanolora’e anake amy Molekay, hanivà’e i toeko miavakey vaho hanimbo ty añarako miavake.
I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
4 Aa naho akipe’ ondati’ i taneio am’ indatiy ty fihaino’ iareo ie manolo-tiry amy Moleka, vaho tsy navetrake,
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
5 le hatreatrén-tareheko indatiy naho i hasavereña’ey, le haitoako am’ ondati’eo rekets’ o nindre nañarapilo ama’e vaho nitsinginiotse amy Molekao.
I will disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 Le hatreatrèn-tareheko ty mpitolik’ amo mpamorekeo naho amo jinio hañarapilo vatañe, hatreatrén-tareheko indatiy, vaho haitoako am’ondati’eo.
I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
7 Miefera arè, naho miavaha, fa Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
8 Mifahara amo fañèkoo vaho oriho: amy te Izaho i Iehovà mampiambak’ anahareo.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
9 Tsy mahay tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene; ie nañozon-drae ndra rene, le ho ama’e ty lio’e.
Anyone who curses their father or mother must be executed. They have cursed their father or mother; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
10 T’indaty miharo sarimbo ami’ty vali’ ondaty, ie miolotse amy tañanjomban-drañe’ey, le sindre havetrake i namonjey naho i vinonjey.
Any man who commits adultery with someone else's wife must be executed, as well as the woman.
11 Ze lahilahy mifandia-tihy ami’ty tañanjomban-drae’e le fa nañàlo ty heñan-drae’e; songa havetrake iereon-droroe; am’ iereo ty lio’ iareo.
A man who has sex with his father's wife has brought shame on his father. Both the man and the woman must be executed. Both must surely be put to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.

A man who marries both a woman and her mother has acted perversely. They must all be burned to death so that there will be no such wickedness among you.

A man who has sex with an animal must be executed, and the animal must be killed too.

A man who marries his sister, whether she's his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and they have sex, has done something shameful. They must be expelled from their people in front of everybody. He has brought shame on his sister; he bears the responsibility for his punishment.

A man who has sex with a woman having her period he has exposed where her blood flow comes from, and she has too. They must both be expelled from their people.

Don't have sex with your aunt, whether on your father or your mother's side, because it brings shame on your own family. Both will bear responsibility for their sin.
20 Naho mifandia-tihy ami’ty valin-drahalahin-drae’e t’indaty, le fa nafaha’e ty heñan-drahalahin-drae’e; sindre hivave ty hakeo’e, songa hikoromake betsiterake.

22 Aa le hene ambeno o fañèkoo, naho o fepèko iabio, vaho anò, tsy mone haboloa’ i tane aneseako anahareo himoneñañey.
So keep all my rules and regulations, so that the land where I'm taking you to live won't vomit you out.
23 Le tsy hañaveloa’ areo o sata’ i foko soiheko aolo’ areoio; amy te lili’ iareo irezay vaho mampangorìñ’ ahy.
Don't follow the practices of the nations I'm expelling for you. I detested them because they did all these evil things.
24 Toe nitaroñeko ama’ areo te ho lovae’ areo ty tane’ iareo, le hatoloko ho tavane’ areo i tane orikorihen-dronono naho tanteley. Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty nañavak’ anahareo amo kilakila ondatio.
But I have promised you that you will take over their land. I'm going to give it to you to own, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has made you a distinctive people different from all others.
25 Aa le ampiavaho ami’ty biby faly ty malio naho ty vorom-paly ami’ty malio, vaho ko maniva vatañe amo bibio ke amo voroñeo he amy ze karazan-draha veloñe misitsitse an-tane atoy, ie nambahako ama’ areo hambena’ areo ho faly.
So make sure you observe the difference between clean and unclean animals and birds. Don't make yourselves unclean because of any animal or bird, or by anything that runs along the ground. I have made the difference clear: they are unclean for you.
26 Aa le hiavake ho ahy nahareo, amy te masiñe Raho Iehovà vaho navaheko amo kilakila ondatio ho ahiko.
You shall be holy to me because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I have made you a distinctive people different from all other nations. You belong to me.

Anyone, man or a woman, who is a medium or a spiritist must be executed. They are to be stoned to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.”
