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.
“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 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 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 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 all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t 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 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 “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 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 “Ko ia mou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou māʻoniʻoni: he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for 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 shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies 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.
“‘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 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, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely 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.
“‘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.
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 lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. 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.
“‘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.
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 takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may 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 lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall 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 and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
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 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 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 lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall 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 shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.
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 lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.
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 takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.
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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should 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.
“‘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.’”
