Lewwota 20
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh 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.
“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person 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.
I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, 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,
If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death,
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 I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with 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.
“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even 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 holy; for I am Yahweh your God.
8 Sirna koo eegaa; duukaa buʼaas. Ani Waaqayyo isa isin qulqulleessuu dha.
You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies 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 everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
10 “‘Yoo namni niitii nama biraa wajjin jechuunis niitii ollaa isaa wajjin sagaagale namichi sagaagalee fi niitiin sagaagalte sun haa ajjeefaman.
“‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

“‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

“‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

“‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his 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.

“‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you 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.
You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did 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 I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
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.
“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
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 to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

“‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”
