Levitikosy 20
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
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 Israeli people, ‘[This is what Yahweh says]: Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to be an offering to the god Molech must be executed. The people of the town must kill him by throwing stones at him.
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 reject [IDM] such people and command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
4 Aa naho akipe’ ondati’ i taneio am’ indatiy ty fihaino’ iareo ie manolo-tiry amy Moleka, vaho tsy navetrake,
If the people of that man’s town ignore it when he kills one of his children to offer him as a sacrifice to Molech, and if they do not execute that person,
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 myself will punish that person and his family, and I will command that he no longer be able to associate with my people. And I will do the same thing to any others who do the same thing that he did to worship Molech.
6 Le hatreatrèn-tareheko ty mpitolik’ amo mpamorekeo naho amo jinio hañarapilo vatañe, hatreatrén-tareheko indatiy, vaho haitoako am’ondati’eo.
‘will reject [IDM] those who go to those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people and fortune-tellers to seek advice from them. I will command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
7 Miefera arè, naho miavaha, fa Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
‘Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
8 Mifahara amo fañèkoo vaho oriho: amy te Izaho i Iehovà mampiambak’ anahareo.
Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws. I am Yahweh, the one will cause you to be holy.
9 Tsy mahay tsy havetrake ze mamàtse rae ndra rene; ie nañozon-drae ndra rene, le ho ama’e ty lio’e.
‘If anyone curses his father or his mother, he must be executed. He himself will be responsible for his own death [MTY].
10 T’indaty miharo sarimbo ami’ty vali’ ondaty, ie miolotse amy tañanjomban-drañe’ey, le sindre havetrake i namonjey naho i vinonjey.
‘If a man commits adultery with some other man’s wife, both of them, the man and the woman, must be executed.
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.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP] one of his father’s wives, he has disgraced his father. So both that man and that woman must be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
12 Naho miharo sarimbo ami’ty vinanto’e ampela t’indaty le havetrake ie roe. Nanao hativàñe le am’ iereo ty lio’ iareo.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP] his daughter-in-law, both of them must be executed. What they have done is very perverse; and they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
13 Naho iharoa’ ty lahilahy ty lahilahy manahake ty fiolorañe ami’ty ampela, songa nanao hativàñe. Sindre havetrake, songa ama’e ty lio’e.
‘If two men have sex together, they have done something detestable. They must both be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
14 Naho valie’ ondaty ty ampela naho ty rene’ i ampelay, haloloañe izay, songa ho forototoeñ-añ’afo, ie naho iereo, tsy mone hanjilihan-katserehañe ama’ areo.
‘If a man marries both a woman and her mother, that is a wicked thing. All three of them must be burned to death, in order that such a wicked practice will not [continue to be done] among you.
15 Naho misahe hare t’indaty le toe hañohofan-doza, le ho lentañe i bibiy.
‘If a man has sex with an animal, he must be executed, and you must also kill that animal.
16 Naho miharine ami’ty hare ty ampela hisahe le ho vonoe’o i ampelay naho i bibiy. Tsy mete tsy havetrake; songa ho ama’e ty lio’e.
‘[Similarly], if a woman has sex with an animal, both the woman and that animal must be killed [DOU]; they are responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
17 Naho rambese’ondaty ty rahavave’e ke ty anak’ ampelan-drae’e he ty anan-drene’e vaho isa’e ty heña’e le mahaisake i heña’ey ka i ampelay, le haloloañe izay. Vonoeñe añatrefa’ o ana’ ondati’eo ie roe, amy te hinalo’e ty heñan-drahavave’e. Ho vavè’e i hakeo’ey.
‘If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his mother or his father, and they have sex together, that is disgraceful. They must not be allowed to continue to associate with my people. And because he has disgraced his sister, he must be punished.
18 Ie miharo sarimbo ami’ty ampela miambolañe t’indaty naho mampiboake ty heña’e—ie nampiboake i fioriha’ey, vaho niborahe’ i ampelay ty fiorihan-dio’e, le haitoañe am’ondati’eo i roroey.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP, DOU] a woman during her monthly menstrual period, they have both revealed why she was bleeding, so both of them must not be allowed to associate with my people any more.
19 Tsy haboa’o ty heñan-drahavaven-drene’o, ndra ty rahavaven-drae’o; ie mañalo longo marine. Songa hivave ty tahi’e.
‘Do not have sex with the sister of either your father or your mother, because that would be disgracing someone who is a close relative. And you and the woman must both be punished.
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.
‘If a man has sex [EUP] with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. I will punish both of them by causing them to die without having any children.
21 Naho tsindrohe’ ondaty ty valin-drahalahi’e, hativàñe izay. Fa nampikorendahe’e ty heñan-drahalahi’e; ho betsiterake iereo.
‘If a man marries his brother’s wife [while his brother is still living], that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother; and they both will die without having any children.
22 Aa le hene ambeno o fañèkoo, naho o fepèko iabio, vaho anò, tsy mone haboloa’ i tane aneseako anahareo himoneñañey.
‘Obey all my laws/decrees [DOU] carefully, in order that you will not be forced to leave [MET] the land to which I am bringing you.
23 Le tsy hañaveloa’ areo o sata’ i foko soiheko aolo’ areoio; amy te lili’ iareo irezay vaho mampangorìñ’ ahy.
Do not imitate/adopt the customs of the people of the land from which I will expel them as you advance. I hated them because they did all those 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 said to you, “You will take their land from them; I will give it to you to be yours, a land that is very fertile [IDM]. I am Yahweh your God, who has set you apart from the people of other nations.”
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 you must distinguish between birds and animals that are unacceptable to me and those that are acceptable to me. Do not defile yourselves by [eating] birds or animals, or anything that scurries across the ground, that I have said are unacceptable for you.
26 Aa le hiavake ho ahy nahareo, amy te masiñe Raho Iehovà vaho navaheko amo kilakila ondatio ho ahiko.
You must behave in ways that I consider to be holy, because I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have set you apart from the [ungodly people of other] nations to belong to me.
27 Tsy mete tsy havetrake ty jiny naho ty doany, ke t’ie lahilahy he rakemba, ho retsahem-bato, sindre ho ama’e ty lio’e.
‘You must execute any man or woman among you who (consults/talks with) the spirits of dead people or who is a fortune-teller. Kill them by [throwing] stones at them; but they will be responsible for their own deaths.’”
