Lewwota 20
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Namni Israaʼel yookaan alagaan Israaʼel keessa jiraatu kan ilmaan isaa keessaa Moolekiif kennu kam iyyuu haa ajjeefamu; sabni biyya sanaa dhagaadhaan isa haa tumu.
Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers, that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die: the people of the land shall stone him.
3 Sababii namichi sun ilmaan isaa Moolekiif kennuudhaan iddoo qulqulluu koo xureessee maqaa koo qulqulluu sana salphiseef, ani fuula itti hammaadhee saba isaa keessaa isa nan balleessa.
And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.
4 Sabni biyya sanaa yeroo namichi sun ilmaan isaa keessaa tokko Moolekiif kennutti yoo fuula irraa deebifatee isa ajjeesuu dhiise,
And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:
5 ani namicha sanaa fi maatii isaatti fuula hammaadhee isaa fi warra isa faana buʼanii sagaagaluudhaan Moolekitti of kennan hunda saba isaanii keessaa nan balleessa.
I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with Moloch, out of the midst of their people.
6 “‘Nama isaan duukaa buʼuudhaan sagaagaluuf jedhee gara ilaaltotaatii fi warra ekeraa dubbisaniitti deebiʼutti ani fuula ittan hammaadha; saba isaa keessaa isa nan balleessa.
The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them, I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
7 “‘Of qulqulleessaa; qulqullootas taʼaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitii.
Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy because I am the Lord your God.
8 Sirna koo eegaa; duukaa buʼaas. Ani Waaqayyo isa isin qulqulleessuu dha.
Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you.
9 “‘Namni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa abaare kam iyyuu haa ajjeefamu. Inni abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa abaareeraatii dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa.
He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die: he hath cursed his father, and mother, let his blood be upon him.
10 “‘Yoo namni niitii nama biraa wajjin jechuunis niitii ollaa isaa wajjin sagaagale namichi sagaagalee fi niitiin sagaagalte sun haa ajjeefaman.
If any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile his neighbour’s wife, let them be put to death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 “‘Namni yoo niitii abbaa isaa wajjin ciise inni abbaa isaa salphiseera. Namichis, dubartiin sunis haa ajjeefaman; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.
If a man lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of his father, let them both be put to death: their blood be upon them.
12 “‘Yoo namni niitii ilma isaa wajjin ciise lamaan isaanii iyyuu haa ajjeefaman. Isaan haraamuu dha; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.
If any man lie with his daughter in law, let both die, because they have done a heinous crime: their blood be upon them.
13 “‘Yoo namni akkuma dubartii wajjin ciisutti dhiira wajjin ciise lamaan isaanii iyyuu waan jibbisiisaa hojjetaniiru. Isaan haa ajjeefaman; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.
If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death: their blood be upon them.
14 “‘Namni tokko yoo intalaa fi haadha ishee fuudhe, wanni kun xuraaʼummaa dha. Akka isin gidduutti xuraaʼummaan akkasii hin argamneef namichii fi dubartoonni lamaan ibiddaan haa gubaman.
If any man after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath done a heinous crime: he shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall so great an abomination remain in the midst of you.
15 “‘Namni tokko yoo horii wajjin wal bira gaʼe haa ajjeefamu; horii sana illee ajjeesaa.
He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him die, the beast also ye shall kill.
16 “‘Yoo dubartiin horii kamitti iyyuu dhiʼaattee horii sana wajjin wal bira geesse, dubartiin sunii fi horiin sun haa ajjeefaman; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.
The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed together with the same: their blood be upon them.
17 “‘Namni tokko yoo obboleettii isaa jechuunis intala abbaa isaa yookaan intala haadha isaa fuudhee wal bira gaʼan wanni kun salphina. Isaan utuma sabni isaanii arguu saba isaanii keessaa haa balleeffaman; namichi kun obboleettii isaa salphiseera; itti gaafatamas.
If any man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her brother’s shame: they have committed a crime: they shall be slain, in the sight of their people, because they have discovered one another’s nakedness, and they shall bear their iniquity.
18 “‘Namni tokko yoo yeroo dubartiin tokko xurii jiʼaa of irraa qabdutti ishee bira gaʼe, inni madda dhangalaʼaa ishee ifatti baaseera; isheenis madda dhangalaʼa ishee mulʼifteerti. Lamaan isaanii iyyuu saba isaanii keessaa haa balleeffaman.
If any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed out of the midst of their people.
19 “‘Obboleettii haadha keetii yookaan abbaa keetii wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin; wanni sun fira dhiigaa salphisaatii; isin lamaanuus itti gaafatamtu.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, and of thy aunt by thy father: he that doth this, hath uncovered the shame of his own flesh, both shall bear their iniquity.

If any mall lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, both shall bear their sin: they shall die without children.

22 “‘Akka lafti ani akka isin keessa jiraattaniif itti isin fidu sun isin hin tufneef ajajaa fi seera koo hunda eegaa; duukaa buʼaas.
Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also out.
23 Isin bartee saboota ani fuula keessan duraa ariʼee baasuuf jiru kanneenii duukaa hin buʼinaa; sababii isaan wantoota kanneen hunda hojjetaniif ani isaan jibbeera.
Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out before you. For they have done all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 Ani garuu, “Isin lafa isaanii ni dhaaltu; anis lafa aannanii fi damma baasu dhaala godhee isiniifin kenna” jedheera. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan saboota kaan irraa addaan isin baasee dha.
But to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.
25 “‘Kanaafuu isin bineensa qulqullaaʼaa fi xuraaʼaa, simbirroo xuraaʼaa fi qulqullaaʼaa addaan baasaa. Bineensa yookaan simbirroo yookaan waan lafa irra munyuuqu kanneen ani isiniif xuraaʼota jedhee addaan baase kamiin iyyuu of hin xureessinaa.
Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean: defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn you to be unclean.
26 Sababii ani Waaqayyo qulqulluu taʼee fi akka isin kan koo taataniifis saboota kaan irraa addaan isin baaseef, isin qulqulloota naaf taʼaa.
You shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from other people, that you should be mine.
27 “‘Dhiirri yookaan dubartiin ilaalan yookaan ekeraa dubbisan haa ajjeefaman. Isaan dhagaadhaan haa tumaman; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.’”
A man, or woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining spirit, dying let them die: they shall stone them: their blood be upon them.
