Levitiko 20
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Yahweh spoke to 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.
“Say to the people of Israel, 'Anyone among the people of Israel, or any foreigner who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech, must certainly be put to death. The people in the land must 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 from among his people because he has given his child to Molech, so as to defile my holy place and profane 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;
If the people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they do not 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 I myself will set my face against that man and his clan, and I will cut him off and everyone else who prostitutes himself in order to play the harlot with Molech.
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 who turns to those who talk with the dead, or to those who talk with spirits so as to prostitute themselves with them, I will set my face against that person; I will cut him off from among his people.
7 “Ko ia mou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou māʻoniʻoni: he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
8 Pea ke mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻo fai ki ai: Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu.”
You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as holy.
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.
Everyone who curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, so he is guilty and deserves to die.
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.
The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, that is, anyone who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife—the adulterer and the adulteress must both certainly be put to death.
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.
If a man lies with his father's wife, he uncovers his father's nakedness. Both the son and his father's wife must certainly be put to death. Their blood is upon them.
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.
If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must certainly be put to death. They have committed perversion. They are guilty and deserve to die.
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.
If a man sleeps with another man, as with a woman, both of them have done something detestable. They must surely be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
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.
If a man marries a woman and also marries her mother, this is wickedness. They must be burned, both he and the women, so that there will be no wickedness among you.
15 Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo e manu, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia: pea ke mou tāmateʻi ʻae manu.
If a man sleeps with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
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.
If a woman approaches any animal to sleep with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must certainly be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
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.
If a man sleeps with his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and he uncovers her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They must be cut off from the presence of their people, because he has slept with his sister. He must carry his guilt.
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.
If a man sleeps with a woman during her menstrual period and has slept with her, he has uncovered the flow of her blood, the source of her blood. Both the man and woman must be cut off from among 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.
You must not sleep with your mother's sister, or with your father's sister, because you would disgrace your close relative. You must carry your own guilt.
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.
If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin, and they will die without children.
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.
If a man marries his brother's wife while his brother is still living, that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother, and I will take away from their children any property they may have inherited from their parents.
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.
You must therefore keep all my statutes and all my decrees; you must obey them so that the land into which I am bringing you to live will not vomit you up.
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.
You must not walk in the customs of the nations that I will drive out before you, for they have done all these things, and I detest 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.
I said to you, “You will inherit their land; I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the other 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.
You must therefore distinguish between the clean animals and the unclean, and between the unclean birds and the clean. You must not defile yourselves with unclean animals or birds or with any creature that crawls along the ground, which I have separated as unclean from you.
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.
You must be holy, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, for you belong to me.
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.
A man or a woman who talks with the dead or who talks with spirits must certainly be put to death. The people must stone them with stones. They are guilty and deserve to die.'”
