Lewwota 20

1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;

And the Lord spoke unto 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.

And to the children of Israel shalt thou say, Whatsoever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

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 that man, and I will cut him off from among his people; because of his seed hath he given unto Molech, in order to defile my sanctuary, and to profane 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 should in any way hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, so as not to 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.

Then will I set my face against that man, and against his family, and I will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, to go astray after Molech, from among 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.

And the person that turneth unto such as have familiar spirits, and unto wizards, to go astray after them, —then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

7 “‘Of qulqulleessaa; qulqullootas taʼaa; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitii.

Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am the Lord your God.

8 Sirna koo eegaa; duukaa buʼaas. Ani Waaqayyo isa isin qulqulleessuu dha.

And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord who 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.

For every one whatever that curseth his father or his mother shall be put to death: his father or his mother hath he cursed, his blood shall be upon him.

10 “‘Yoo namni niitii nama biraa wajjin jechuunis niitii ollaa isaa wajjin sagaagale namichi sagaagalee fi niitiin sagaagalte sun haa ajjeefaman.

And if there be a man that committeth adultery with a man's wife, [whoever it be] that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife: then shall the adulterer be put to death, together with the adulteress.

11 “‘Namni yoo niitii abbaa isaa wajjin ciise inni abbaa isaa salphiseera. Namichis, dubartiin sunis haa ajjeefaman; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.

And a man that lieth with his father's wife, hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

12 “‘Yoo namni niitii ilma isaa wajjin ciise lamaan isaanii iyyuu haa ajjeefaman. Isaan haraamuu dha; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.

And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death: they have committed an unnatural deed; their blood shall 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.

And if a man lie with a male, as they lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall be put to death; their blood shall 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.

And if a man take a woman and her mother, it is incest: in fire shall they burn him and them; that there be no incest among you.

15 “‘Namni tokko yoo horii wajjin wal bira gaʼe haa ajjeefamu; horii sana illee ajjeesaa.

And a man that lieth with a beast shall be put to death: and the beast also shall ye slay.

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.

And if a woman approach unto any beast to lie down thereto, then shalt thou kill the woman, and the beast; they shall be put to death; their blood shall 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.

And if a man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and he see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness: it is a disgraceful deed; and they shall be cut off before the eyes of their people: the nakedness of his sister hath he uncovered; his iniquity shall he bear.

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.

And if a man lie with a woman suffering of her separation, and uncover her nakedness, and he lay open her fountain, and she uncover the fountain of her blood: then shall both of them be cut off from 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.

And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, or of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover; for his near of kin he uncovereth: their iniquity shall they bear.

20 “‘Namni tokko yoo niitii eessuma isaa wajjin wal bira gaʼe inni eessuma isaa salphiseera. Isaan itti gaafatamu; utuu ijoollee hin argatinis duʼu.

And the man that lieth with his uncle's wife, hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: their sin shall they bear; childless shall they die.

21 “‘Namni tokko yoo niitii obboleessa isaa fuudhe, wanni kun hojii xuraaʼummaa ti; innis obboleessa isaa salphiseera. Isaan ijoollee malee hafu.

And if a man do take his brother's wife, it is an abominable act: the nakedness of his brother hath he uncovered; childless shall they remain.

22 “‘Akka lafti ani akka isin keessa jiraattaniif itti isin fidu sun isin hin tufneef ajajaa fi seera koo hunda eegaa; duukaa buʼaas.

And keep ye all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, may not vomit you forth.

23 Isin bartee saboota ani fuula keessan duraa ariʼee baasuuf jiru kanneenii duukaa hin buʼinaa; sababii isaan wantoota kanneen hunda hojjetaniif ani isaan jibbeera.

And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I cast out before you; for all these things they committed, and therefore I felt loathing for 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.

And I said unto you, Ye shall possess their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Eternal your God, who have separated you from the nations.

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.

Ye shall therefore make a difference between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and ye shall not make your souls abominable by the beast, or by the fowl, or by any manner of thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

26 Sababii ani Waaqayyo qulqulluu taʼee fi akka isin kan koo taataniifis saboota kaan irraa addaan isin baaseef, isin qulqulloota naaf taʼaa.

And ye shall be holy unto me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have separated you from the nations, that ye should be mine.

27 “‘Dhiirri yookaan dubartiin ilaalan yookaan ekeraa dubbisan haa ajjeefaman. Isaan dhagaadhaan haa tumaman; dhiigni isaanii matuma isaaniitti deebiʼa.’”

And if there be among men or women one that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, they shall be put to death; with stones shall they stone them; their blood shall be upon them.
