लेवीहरू 18

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

The LORD said to Moses,

2 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.

3 तिमीहरू पहिले बसोबास गर्ने मिश्रका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ जे गर्थे ती तिमीहरूले नगर्नू । मैले तिमीहरूलाई लैजान लागेको देश अर्थात् कनानका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ जे गर्थे ती तिमीहरूले नगर्नू । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका रीतिरिवाजहरू नपछ्‍याउनू ।

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 मेरो व्यवस्था तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नू, र मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्‍नू, र तीअनुसार तिमीहरू हिँड्नू, किनभने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.

5 यसैकारण तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्‍नू र मेरा व्यवस्था पालन गर्नू । ती पालन गर्ने मानिस तीद्वारा नै बाँच्‍दछ । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am the LORD.

6 आफ्नो नजिकको नातेदारसँग सुतेर कसैले पनि आफ्नो नग्‍नता नदेखाओस् । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

“‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.

7 आफ्नी आमासँग सुतेर आफ्ना बुबाको अनादार नगर्नू । त्यो तेरी आमा हो! तैँले त्यसलाई अनादर नगर् ।

“‘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 आफ्ना बुबाकी कुनै पत्‍नीसँग पनि नसुत् । त्यस्तो काम गरेर आफ्ना बुबाको अनादर नगर् ।

9 आफ्नी कुनै दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत्, चाहे त्यो तेरो बुबाकी छोरी वा आमाकी छोरी होस्, चाहे त्यो तेरो घरमा वा घरबाट टाढा हुर्काइएकी होस् । आफ्नी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत् ।

“‘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 आफ्नो छोरा वा छोरीको छोरीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो निम्ति शर्मको कुरा हो ।

14 आफ्ना बुबाको दाजु वा भाइकी पत्‍नीसँग सुतेर त्यसको अनादर नगर् । त्यस्तो कामको निम्ति त्यसको नजिक नजा, त्यो तेरी काकी हो ।

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.

15 आफ्नी बुहारीसँग नसुत् । त्यो तेरो छोरोकी पत्‍नी हो, त्योसँग नसुत् ।

17 कुनै स्‍त्री र त्यसकी छोरी दुवैसँग नसुत्, वा त्यसको छोराकी छोरीसँग वा त्यसकी छोरीकी छोरीसँग नसुत् । तिनीहरू त्यस स्‍त्रीका नजिकका नातेदार हुन् र तिनीहरूसँग सुत्‍नु दुष्‍टता हो ।

“‘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.

21 आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई मोलोखको निम्ति बलि गर्नलाई तिनीहरूलाई आगोमा नहाल्नू, किनभने तिमीहरूले यसो गरेर आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको नाउँलाई अपवित्र नबनाउनू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

“‘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.

23 कुनै पशुसँग सहवास गरेर आफैलाई अशुद्ध नबनाउनू । कुनै पनि स्‍त्री कुनै पशुसँग नसुत्‍नू । यो अस्वाभाविक दुराचरण हो ।

“‘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 यस्ता कामहरू गरेर आफैलाई अपवित्र नबनाउनू, किनभने जुन जातिहरूलाई मैले तिमीहरूका सामुबाट निकाल्दै छु ती यी सबै कारणले अपवित्र भएका छन् ।

“‘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 तिनीहरूको भूमि अपवित्र भयो, र यसैकारण मैले तिनीहरूका पापको दण्ड दिएँ, र त्यस भूमिले त्यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई उकेलेर निकालिदियो ।

The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

26 यसैकारण, तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू र विधिहरू पालन गर्नू, र इस्राएलका स्वदेशी वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा बसोबास गर्ने परदेशी जोकोहीले कुनै पनि यस्ता घृणास्‍पद काम नगर्नू ।

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 amongst you

27 तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि यस भूमिमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूले यस्तै दुष्‍ट काम गरे, र यसैकारण सारा देश नै अपवित्र भयो ।

(for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),

28 तिमीहरूका अपवित्रताका कारण तिमीहरूभन्दा अगिका मानिसहरूलाई झैँ त्यस भूमिले तिमीहरूलाई पनि उकेलेर बाहिर ननिकालोस् ।

that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

29 तिमीहरूमध्ये जो कोहीले यस्ता घृणास्पद कामहरू गर्दछन् भने, तिनीहरू आफ्ना मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्‍कृत हुने छन् ।

“‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from amongst their people.

30 तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि यहाँ अभ्यास हुने गरेका कुनै यस्ता घृणास्‍पद रीतिरिवाजहरूलाई तिमीहरूले अभ्यास नगरेर मेरो आज्ञा पालन गर्नू अनि यसरी तिमीहरूले यस्ता कामले आफैलाई अपवित्र बनाउने छैनौ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ’ ।”

Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practise any of these abominable customs which were practised before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.’”
