Levitiko 15
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
2 Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOka mahaki ʻae tangata ʻi he ʻau ʻa hono sino, ko ʻene ʻau ko ia ʻoku taʻemaʻa ai ia.
“Tell this to the Israelis: When an infected discharge comes out of a man’s sexual organs [EUP], that fluid should not be touched.
3 Pea ko hono taʻemaʻa eni ʻo ʻene ʻau; pe kuo ʻau hono sino ʻi heʻene mahaki, pē kuo matuʻu mei hono sino; ko ʻene taʻemaʻa ia.
Whether that fluid is blocked or continues to drip, it causes him to be someone who should not be touched.
4 Ko e mohenga kotoa pē ʻoku mohe ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau, ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia; pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai ia, ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia.
“And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
5 Pea ko ia ʻe ala ki hono mohenga ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Anyone who touches that person’s bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
6 Pea ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi ha meʻa naʻe nofo ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia, ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Anyone who sits on something that man has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
7 Pea ko ia ʻoku lave ki he sino ʻo ia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
“Anyone who touches such a man must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
8 Pea kapau ʻe ʻaʻanu ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau kiate ia ʻoku maʻa; pea ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
“If such a man spits on someone else, that person who is spit upon should not be touched. He must wash his clothes, and no one should touch him until that evening.
9 Pea ʻilonga ha meʻa hekaʻanga ʻoku heka ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
“Everything that a man who has such a discharge of fluid sits on while he is riding [a horse or a donkey] should not be touched,
10 Pea ko ia ʻe ala ki ha meʻa naʻe ʻi lalo ʻiate ia, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi: pea ko ia ʻoku ne fua ʻae meʻa ko ia, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu, pea kaukau hono sino ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
and anyone who touches the seat or saddle that he was sitting on also should not be touched until that evening. And anyone who picks up the seat or saddle must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
11 Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku ala ki ai ʻaia ʻoku moʻua ʻi he mahaki ko e ʻau, pea naʻe ʻikai fanofano hono nima, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau ia ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Anyone whom the man with such a discharge of fluid from his body touches without first rinsing his hands in water must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
12 Pea ko e ipu ʻumea ʻoku ala ki ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau, ʻe foa ia: pea ko e ipu ʻakau kotoa pē ʻe fufulu ia ʻi he vai.
“If such a man touches a clay pot, that pot must be broken into pieces. Anything made from wood that he touches must be rinsed in water.
13 Pea ka fakamaʻa ia mei heʻene ʻau, ʻaia naʻe mahaki ai: ʻe toki lau kiate ia ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu moʻono fakamaʻa, pea ʻe fō hono ngaahi kofu, pea kaukau hono sino ʻi he vai ʻoku tafe, pea maʻa ai.
“If such a man is healed from his flow of fluid, he must wait for seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water from a spring. Then he will be able to be with others.
14 Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho ʻe toʻo ʻe ia kiate ia ʻae kulukulu ʻe ua, pē ko e lupe mui ʻe ua, pea ʻe haʻu ia ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo ʻatu ia ki he taulaʻeiki:
On the eighth/next day, he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come in front of Yahweh at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and give them to the priest.
15 Pea ʻe ʻatu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki, ko e taha ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, ko e taha kehe ko e feilaulau tutu; pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻau ʻe fai ʻae fakalelei ʻe he taulaʻeiki maʻana ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
The priest will sacrifice them. One will be an offering for the man to become acceptable to God, and the other one will be completely burned [on the altar]. As a result of the priest doing that, the man will be forgiven for having sinned.
16 Pea kapau ʻe ʻau noa mei he tangata hono huhuʻa fakatangata pea ʻe kaukau ʻe ia hono sino kotoa, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
“Then semen accidentally flows from a man’s sexual organs [EUP], he must bathe his whole body, and no one should touch him until that evening.
17 Pea ko e kofu kotoa pē, mo e kili kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae meʻa, ʻe fō ia ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed, and no one should touch it until that evening.
18 Pea ko e fefine foki ʻaia ʻe mohe ki ai ʻae tangata, kena kaukau fakatouʻosi pe ʻi he vai, pea kena taʻemaʻa ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
When a man has sex with a woman and some semen spills, both of them must bathe, and no one should touch them until that evening.
19 Pea kapau ʻoku mahaki ʻae fefine ʻi he ʻau, pea ko e mahaki ʻi hono sino ko e ʻau toto, ʻe tuku tokotaha ia ke ʻaho fitu: pea ko ia ʻe lave kiate ia ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
“Then a woman has her monthly menstrual period, no one should touch her for seven days. If anyone touches her [during that time], no one should touch the person who touched her until that evening.
20 Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tokoto ki ai ia ʻi heʻene vaheʻi ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ki ai ia ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
21 Pea ko ia ʻe ala ki hono mohenga, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu, pea kaukau ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
22 Pea ko ia ʻoku ala ki ha meʻa naʻe nofo ki ai ia, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Anyone who touches something that she has been sitting on, a bed or anything else, must wash his clothes, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
23 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻi hono mohenga ʻae meʻa, pe ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku nofo ia ki ai, ʻi heʻene ala ki ai, ʻe taʻemaʻa ai ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
24 Pea kapau ʻoku mohe ha tangata kiate ia, pea hoko hono mahaki kiate ia, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea mo e mohenga kotoa pē ʻoku mohe ai ia ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
“If a man has sex with a woman [during that time] and some of the menstrual blood touches him, no one should touch him for seven days, and no one should touch the bed that he lies on.
25 Pea kapau ʻoku mahaki ʻae fefine ʻi he ʻau ʻoe toto ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono vaheʻi, pea kapau ʻoku fai ai pe ia hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe vaheʻi: ko e ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene mahaki taʻemaʻa ʻe tatau pe ia mo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono vaheʻi: ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
“Then a woman has a vaginal discharge of blood for (many days/a long time), which is not her monthly flow of blood, or if her flow of blood continues after her monthly flow ends, no one should touch her until it stops.
26 Ko e mohenga kotoa pē ʻoku ne mohe ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene mahaki ʻe tatau ia kiate ia mo e mohenga ʻo hono vaheʻi: pea ko ia ʻe nofo ki ai ia ʻe taʻemaʻa, ʻo hangē ko e taʻemaʻa ʻo hono vaheʻi.
And no one should touch the bed that she lies on or anything that she sits on while that flow of blood continues, just like during her monthly menstrual period.
27 Pea ko ia ʻe ala ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia, pea ʻe fō hono kofu, pea kaukau ia ʻi he vai, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
Anyone who touches those things should not touch anyone else; he must wash his clothes and bathe, and he should not touch anyone else until that evening.
28 Pea kapau kuo fakamaʻa ia mei hono mahaki, ʻe toki lau ʻe ia kiate ia ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea hili ia, ʻe toki maʻa ia.
“After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
29 Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho te ne toʻo ʻe ia ʻae kulukulu ʻe ua, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua, ʻo ʻomi ia ki he taulaʻeiki, ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
On the eighth/next day, she must take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
30 Pea ʻe ʻatu ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae taha ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo e taha ko e feilaulau tutu; pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova koeʻuhi ko e mahaki ʻo ʻene taʻemaʻa.
The priest will sacrifice one of them to be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again, and completely burn the other one [on the altar]. By doing that he will cause me, Yahweh, to forgive her for having sinned [DOU].
31 Te mou vaheʻi pehē pe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei heʻenau taʻemaʻa; telia naʻa nau mate ʻi heʻenau taʻemaʻa, ʻi heʻenau ʻuliʻi hoku fale fehikitaki ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu.
“You must warn the Israeli people not to do things that (defile them/cause them to be unacceptable to me). If they become (unacceptable to me/defiled), they will cause my Sacred Tent which is among them to become an unacceptable place to worship me, and as a result they will die.”
32 Ko eni ʻae fono ʻo ia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau, mo ia ʻoku ʻau noa meiate ia hono huhuʻa, pea ne taʻemaʻa ai.
“Those are the regulations for a man who has a fluid that flows from his sexual organs or who should not be touched because some of his semen spills out while having sex [with a woman],
33 Pea mo e[fefine ]ʻoku mahaki ʻi hono mahaki, mo ia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau noa, pe ko e tangata, pe ko e fefine, pea mo ia ʻoku mohe kiate ia ʻoku taʻemaʻa.
and for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
