Laawiyiintii 18
1 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
“Speak to the Israeli people and tell them [that I, Yahweh, say this] this: I am Yahweh, your God.
3 Falimaha dalka Masar ee aad degganaan jirteen waa inaydaan samayn, oo falimaha dalka Kancaan oo aan idiin geeynayana waa inaydaan samayn, oo qaynuunnadoodana waa inaydaan ku socon.
[So you must do what I want you to do]; you must not do the things that the people in Egypt, where you lived previously, do; and you must not do what is done by the people in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not imitate their behavior.
4 Waxaad samaysaan xukummadayda, oo waxaad dhawrtaan qaynuunnadayda si aad iyaga ugu dhex socotaan, waayo, aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
You must obey all of my laws [DOU], because it is I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those laws].
5 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinku waa inaad dhawrtaan qaynuunnadayda iyo xukummadayda, oo ninkii sameeyaana iyaguu ku noolaan doonaa, waayo, aniga ayaa Rabbiga ah.
If you obey all my laws and decrees, you will continue to remain alive [for a long time]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who is promising that to you]. [These are some of my laws]:
6 Waa inaan midkiinna u dhowaan qof ka mid ah xigaalkiisa u dhow inuu cawradiisa qaawiyo, waayo, aniga ayaa Rabbiga ah.
“Do not have sex with any of your close relatives. It is I, Yahweh, [who am commanding that].
7 Cawrada aabbahaa taasoo ah cawrada hooyadaa waa inaadan qaawin, iyadu waa hooyadaa, ee waa inaadan cawradeeda qaawin.
“Do not disgrace your father by having sex with your mother [DOU].
8 Oo waa inaadan qaawin cawrada naagta aabbahaa, ee waa cawradii aabbahaa.
“Do not have sex with any of your father’s [other] wives, because that would disgrace your father.
9 Waa inaadan qaawin cawrada walaashaa oo ah aabbahaa gabadhiisa ama hooyadaa gabadheeda, hadday guriga ku dhalatay iyo hadday meel kale ku dhalatayba.
“Do not have sex with your sister or your stepsister; it does not matter whether she was born in your house or somewhere else.
10 Waa inaadan qaawin cawrada gabadha wiilkaaga, ama cawrada gabadha gabadhaada, waayo, toodu waa cawradaadii.
“Do not have sex with your granddaughter, because that would disgrace you.
11 Waa inaadan qaawin cawrada naagta aabbahaa gabadheeda ay aabbahaa u dhashay, waayo, iyadu waa walaashaa, ee waa inaadan cawradeeda qaawin.
“Do not have sex with your half-sister, because she is your sister.
12 Waa inaadan qaawin cawrada eeddadaa, waayo, iyadu waa aabbahaa qaraabadiis u dhow.
“Do not have sex with your father’s sister, because she is your father’s close relative.
13 Waa inaadan qaawin cawrada habaryartaa, waayo, iyadu waa hooyadaa qaraabadeed u dhow.
“Do not have sex with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.
14 Waa inaadan adeerkaa cawradiisa qaawin. Waa inaadan naagtiisa u dhowaan, waayo, iyadu waa aayadaa.
“Do not disgrace your (uncle/father’s brother) by having sex with his wife, because she is your aunt.
15 Waa inaadan qaawin cawrada gabadha aad soddogga u tahay, waayo, iyadu waa naagtii wiilkaaga, ee waa inaadan cawradeeda qaawin.
“Do not have sex with [DOU] your daughter-in-law, because she is your son’s wife.
16 Waa inaadan qaawin cawrada naagta walaalkaa, waayo, taasu waa cawradii walaalkaa.
“Do not have sex with your brother’s wife, because that would disgrace your brother.
17 Waa inaadan naag iyo gabadheedaba cawradooda wada qaawin, oo waa inaadan kaxaysan gabadha wiilkeeda ama gabadha gabadheeda si aad cawradeeda u qaawisid; waayo, iyagu waa naago qaraabo kuu dhow ah, oo taasu waa shar.
“Do not have sex with the daughter or granddaughter of any woman whom you have previously had sex with; they are [her] (OR, [your]) close relatives. Having sex with any of them would be a wicked thing to do.
18 Waa inaadan naagtaada walaasheed la guursan oo aadan cawradeeda qaawin intay naagtaadu nooshahay.
“While your wife is still living, do not marry your wife’s sister and have sex with her.
19 Waa inaadan naag u dhowaan si aad cawradeeda u qaawisid, in alla intay xaylka ku nijaasaysan tahay.
“Do not have sex with any woman while she is having her monthly menstrual period.
20 Waa inaadan la jiifsan naagta deriskaaga, si aadan iyada ugu nijaasoobin.
“Do not (defile yourself/make yourself unacceptable to me) by having sex with someone else’s wife.
21 Waa inaadan carruurtaada Moleg siin oo aadan iyaga innaba dab u dhex marsiin, oo weliba waa inaadan magaca Ilaahaaga hadal nijaas ah ka sheegin, waayo, aniga ayaa Rabbiga ah.
“Do not give any of your children to be burned to be a sacrifice to the god Molech, because that would show that you do not revere me [MTY], Yahweh, your God.
22 Waa inaadan ragga ula seexan sida dumarka loola seexdo oo kale, waayo, taasu waa karaahiyo.
“No man should have sex with another man; that is detestable.
23 Waa inaadan neef xayawaan ah kudin si aadan ugu nijaasoobin, oo naaguna waa inayan neef xayawaan ah is-hor taagin si ay isaga ugu jiifsato, waayo, taasu waa qasnaan.
“No one, man or woman, should (defile himself/cause himself to become unacceptable to me) by having sex with an animal; that is a perverse act.
24 Idinku waxyaalahaas midkoodna nafsaddiinna ha ku nijaasaynina, waayo, quruumihii aan hortiinna ka eryay oo dhammu waxyaalahaas bay ku nijaasoobeen,
“Do not (defile yourselves/cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me) in any of those ways, because doing those things is how the people of the nations that I expelled as you advanced became (unacceptable to me/defiled).
25 oo dalkii wuu nijaasoobay, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ayaan xumaantiisii soo gaadhsiinayaa, oo dalku waa mantagayaa dadka deggan.
They even caused the land to become defiled, so I punished them for their sins, and [it was as though] the land vomited out the people who lived there.
26 Haddaba idinku waa inaad dhawrtaan qaynuunnadayda iyo xukummadayda, oo waa inaydaan waxyaalahaas karaahiyada ah innaba samayn, kiinnii waddani ah, iyo kii shisheeye ah oo idin dhex degganuba,
You must all obey my laws and decrees. That includes you people who were born here and the foreigners who live among you.
27 (waayo, dadkii dalka degganaan jiray oo idinka horreeyey waxyaalahaas karaahiyada ah oo dhan ayay wada samayn jireen, oo dalkuna wuu nijaasoobay; )
All those detestable things were done by the people who lived in this land before you came here, and they caused the land to become defiled.
28 si markaad nijaasaysaan dalku uusan idinkana idiin mantagin, siduu quruuntii idinka horraysay u mantagay oo kale.
So if you defile the land, I will get rid of [MET] you like I got rid of the people of those nations that were here before you came.
29 Waayo, ku alla kii sameeya waxyaalahaas karaahiyada ah, xataa nafihii waxyaalahaas sameeya dadkooda waa laga gooyn doonaa.
“You must not allow people who do any of those detestable things to associate with you who are my people.
30 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waa inaad amarkayga xajisaan si aydaan u samayn oo aydaan ugu nijaasoobin caadooyinkaas karaahiyada ah oo dadkii idinka horreeyey ay samayn jireen, waayo, aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
Obey everything that I command you to do, and do not defile yourselves by practicing any of the detestable customs that were practiced [by the people who were there] before you came. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding these things].”
