Levitiko 20

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 “Ko eni foki, ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Ko ia fulipē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he kau muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku ne foaki hono hako kia Moleki; ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia: ʻe tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua.

Unto the sons of Israel, therefore shalt thou say, What man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, he shall, surely be put to death, —the people of the land shall stone him with stones;

3 Pea te u fakahangatonu hoku fofonga ki he tangata ko ia, ke motuhi ia mei hono kakai: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene foaki ʻa hono hako kia Moleki, ke ʻuliʻi hoku faletapu, mo fakaongokoviʻi hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni.

I, also, will set my face against that man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people, —because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning my holy name.

4 Pea kapau ʻoku fufū honau mata ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua mei he tangata, ʻi heʻene foaki hono hako kia Moleki, pea ʻikai tāmateʻi ia;

But, if the people of the land, do even hide, their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, —so as not to put him to death,

5 Pea te u fakahanga hoku fofonga ki he tangata ko ia, pea ki hono fale, pea ko ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai hala ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, ke fai angahala mo Moleki, teu motuhi mei honau kakai.

then will I myself, set my face against that man, and against his family, —and will cut him off, and all that follow unchastely after him—in going unchastely after Molech—out of the midst of their people.

6 “Pea ko ia ʻoku tafoki kiate kinautolu ʻoku vaka ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻuli, mo e kau taulafakafaʻahikehe, ke ʻalu holi kovi kiate kinautolu, te u fakahanga moʻoni hoku fofonga ki he tangata ko ia, pea teu motuhi ia mei hono kakai.

The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people.

7 “Ko ia mou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou māʻoniʻoni: he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy, —Because I—Yahweh, am your God.

8 Pea ke mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻo fai ki ai: Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu.”

Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and do them, —I—Yahweh, am he that is hallowing you.

9 He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia kuo ne kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē pea ʻe ʻiate ia pe hono toto.

When, any man whatsoever, curseth his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death, —his father or his mother, hath he cursed, his blood, shall be upon himself.

10 Pea ko e tangata ʻoku tonoʻi ʻae uafi ʻoe tangata ʻe tokotaha, ʻio, ko ia ʻoku tonoʻi ʻae uafi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, ko e tangata tono fefine mo e fefine tono tangata, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ʻakinaua.

And, any man, who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man, he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to death—the adulterer, and the adulteress.

11 Ko e tangata ʻoku mohe mo e mali ʻo ʻene tamai kuo fakatelefua ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tamai: ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinaua fakatouʻosi pe; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.

And any man who lieth with his father’s wife, the shame of his father, hath uncovered, —they both shall, surely be put to death—their blood shall be upon themselves.

12 Pea kapau ʻe mohe ʻae tangata mo hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinaua fakatouʻosi pe: kuo na fai fakamaveuveu; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.

And any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law, they both shall, surely be put to death, confusion, have they wrought—their blood shall be upon themselves.

13 Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo e tangata, ʻo hangē ko ʻene mohe mo e fefine, kuo na fai fakalielia fakatouʻosi pe; ke tāmateʻi moʻoni ʻakinaua; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.

And any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind, an abomination, have both of them wrought, —they shall, surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

14 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻomi ʻe ha tangata mo hono mali ʻae faʻē ʻa hono mali kena mali, ko e meʻa kovi ia: ʻe tutu ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae afi, ʻaia mo kinaua; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha kovi ʻiate kimoutolu.

And, any man, who taketh a woman and her mother, wickedness, it is, —in fire, shall both he and they be consumed, that wickedness be not in your midst.

15 Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo e manu, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia: pea ke mou tāmateʻi ʻae manu.

And, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, —and, the beast, shall ye slay.

16 Pea kapau ʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ha fefine ki ha manu, pea tokoto ki ai ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fefine, mo e manu: ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ʻakinaua; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.

And, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, —they shall surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

17 Pea kapau ʻe ʻave ʻe ha tangata hono tuofefine, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻene tamai, pe ko e tama ʻa ʻene faʻē, ʻo mamata ki heʻene telefua, pea mamata ia ki heʻene telefua ʻaʻana; ko e meʻa kovi ia: pea ʻe motuhi ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻao ʻo hona kakai: kuo tatala ʻo fakatelefua ʻa hono tuofefine; ʻe fua ʻe ia ʻene hia.

And, any man, who taketh his sister—his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and vieweth her shame, and, she, vieweth his shame, a disgrace, it is, —they shall therefore be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people, —the shame of his sister, hath he uncovered—his iniquity, shall he bear.

18 Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo e fefine ʻoku ʻiate ia hono mahaki, pea tatala hono mahaki; kuo ne fakatelefua hono mahaki, pea kuo tatala ʻe ia ʻae mata ʻo hono toto: pea ʻe motuhi ʻakinaua fakatouʻosi mei hona kakai.

And, any man, who lieth with a woman having her sickness, and uncovereth her shame, her fountain, hath he exposed, she, also hath uncovered her fountain of blood, —they shall therefore both be cut off out of the midst of their people.

19 Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakatelefua ʻae tokoua ʻo hoʻo faʻē, pe ko e tuofefine ʻo hoʻo tamai: he ko ia ʻoku ne [fai pehē ]ʻoku fakatelefua hono kāinga ofi: te na fua ʻena hia.

And the shame of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover, —for his near of kin, hath he exposed—their iniquity, shall they bear.

20 Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo e uaifi ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻene tamai, kuo fakatelefua ʻe ia ʻa hono tuʻasina: te na fua ʻena angahala: te na mate taʻehafānau.

And, any man, who lieth with his uncle’s wife, the shame of his uncle, hath he uncovered, —their sin, shall they bear—childless, shall they die.

21 Pea kapau ʻe maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻae uaifi ʻa hono tokoua, ko e meʻa taʻemaʻa ia: kuo fakatelefua ʻa hono tokoua; te na mate taʻehafānau.

And, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is, —the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.

22 “Ko ia ke mou tauhi ai ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo fai ki ai: telia naʻa lua ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻe he fonua ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki ai.

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, —So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;

23 Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai ki he ngaahi anga ʻoe puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ou kapusi mei homou ʻao: he kuo nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ko ia kuo u fehiʻa ai kiate kinautolu.

So shall ye not walk in the—statutes of the nations, which I am casting out from before you, —For all these things, had they done, Therefore I abhorred them;

24 Ka kuo u lea kiate kimoutolu, Te mou maʻu honau fonua, pea te u ʻatu ia kiate kimoutolu ke mou maʻu ia, ko e fonua ʻoku mahu tāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo u vaheʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai kehe.

And said unto you—Ye, shall possess their soil, Yea, I myself, will give it you to possess it, A land flowing with milk and honey, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who have distinguished you from the peoples;

25 Ko ia ke mou vaheʻi ʻae fanga manu maʻa mo e taʻemaʻa, pea lau kehe ʻae fanga manu taʻemaʻa ʻoku kapakau mo e maʻa: pea ʻoua naʻa mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he manu, pe ha manu kapakau, pe ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku totolo ʻi he kelekele, ʻaia kuo vaheʻi ia ʻiate kimoutolu ko e taʻemaʻa.

Therefore shall ye make a distinction—Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, —And between the unclean birds and the clean, —So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as unclean.

26 Pea te mou māʻoniʻoni kiate au: he ko au Sihova ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni, pea kuo u fakamavahe ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai kehe, koeʻuhi ke ʻoʻoku ʻakimoutolu.

Therefore shall ye be unto me, holy persons, for, holy, am, I—Yahweh, —Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples, that ye may be mine.

27 “Ko e tangata foki, pe ko e fefine ʻoku vaka ai ʻae laumālie ʻuli, pea ko e taulafakafaʻahikehe, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia: ʻe tolongaki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae maka: ʻe ʻiate kinautolu honau toto.

And as touching man or woman, when there shall be in them a familiar spirit, or the spirit of an oracle, they shall, surely be put to death, —with stones, shall they be stoned—their blood, shall be upon themselves.
