Leviticus 18

1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé:

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé: ‘Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.

Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.

3 Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe bí wọ́n ti ń ṣe ní Ejibiti níbi tí ẹ ti gbé rí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ ṣe bí wọ́n ti ń ṣe ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani níbi tí èmi ń mú yín lọ. Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé ìṣe wọn.

You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

4 Kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì máa ṣe òfin mi, kí ẹ̀yin sì máa pa ìlànà mi mọ́, láti máa rìn nínú wọn, Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.

But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.

5 Ẹ̀yin ó sì máa pa ìlànà mi mọ́ àti òfin mi; Ẹni tí ó ba ṣe, yóò yè nípa wọn. Èmi ni Olúwa.

So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.

6 “‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ìbátan rẹ̀ láti bá a lòpọ̀. Èmí ni Olúwa.

You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.

7 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tàbùkù baba rẹ nípa bíbá ìyá rẹ lòpọ̀, ìyá rẹ̀ ni, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá a lòpọ̀.

You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.

8 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tàbùkù baba rẹ nípa bíbá ìyàwó baba rẹ lòpọ̀, nítorí ìhòhò baba rẹ ni.

And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.

9 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá arábìnrin rẹ tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ ìyá rẹ lòpọ̀, yálà a bí i nílé yín tàbí lóde.

You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.

10 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá ọmọbìnrin, ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin lòpọ̀ tàbí ọmọbìnrin ọmọ rẹ obìnrin lòpọ̀ nítorí pé ìhòhò wọn, ìhòhò ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀ ni.

You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;

11 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá ọmọbìnrin aya baba rẹ lòpọ̀; èyí tí a bí fún baba rẹ nítorí pé arábìnrin rẹ ni.

Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.

12 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá arábìnrin baba rẹ lòpọ̀ nítorí pé ìbátan baba rẹ ni.

You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.

13 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá arábìnrin màmá rẹ lòpọ̀ nítorí pé ìbátan ìyá rẹ ni.

You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.

14 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tàbùkù arákùnrin baba rẹ nípa sísún mọ́ aya rẹ̀ láti bá a lòpọ̀ nítorí pé ìyàwó ẹ̀gbọ́n baba rẹ ni.

You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;

15 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá ọmọ àna obìnrin rẹ lòpọ̀ nítorí pé aya ọmọ rẹ ni. Má ṣe bá a lòpọ̀.

Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.

16 “‘Má ṣe bá aya ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ ọkùnrin lòpọ̀ nítorí pé yóò tàbùkù ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ.

You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.

17 “‘Má ṣe bá ìyá àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin lòpọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá ọmọbìnrin ọmọkùnrin rẹ tàbí ọmọbìnrin ọmọbìnrin rẹ lòpọ̀ nítorí pé ìbátan rẹ tímọ́tímọ́ ni: nítorí àbùkù ni.

You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.

18 “‘Má ṣe fẹ́ àbúrò ìyàwó rẹ obìnrin ní aya gẹ́gẹ́ bí orogún tàbí bá a lòpọ̀, nígbà tí ìyàwó rẹ sì wà láààyè.

And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.

19 “‘Má ṣe súnmọ́ obìnrin láti bá a lòpọ̀ nígbà tí ó bá ń ṣe nǹkan oṣù, nítorí àkókò àìmọ́ ni.

And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

20 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá aya aládùúgbò rẹ lòpọ̀, kí ìwọ má ba à ba ara rẹ jẹ́ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.

21 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fi èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ sí òrìṣà Moleki, kí o sì tipa bẹ́ẹ̀ ba orúkọ Ọlọ́run rẹ jẹ́. Èmi ni Olúwa.

And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

22 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá ọkùnrin lòpọ̀ bí ìgbà tí ènìyàn ń bá obìnrin lòpọ̀: ìríra ni èyí jẹ́.

You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

23 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá ẹranko lòpọ̀ kí ìwọ má ba à ba ara rẹ jẹ́. Obìnrin kò sì gbọdọ̀ jọ̀wọ́ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ fún ẹranko láti bá a lòpọ̀, ohun tó lòdì ni.

And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.

24 “‘Má ṣe fi àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ba ara rẹ jẹ́, torí pé nínú àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí mo lé kúrò níwájú yín ti ba ara wọn jẹ́.

Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

25 Nítorí pé ilẹ̀ náà di àìmọ́ nítorí náà mo fi ìyà jẹ ẹ́ nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀. Ilẹ̀ náà sì pọ àwọn olùgbé ibẹ̀ jáde.

And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

26 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ máa pa àṣẹ àti òfin mi mọ́. Onílé tàbí àjèjì tó ń gbé láàrín yín kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ohun ìríra wọ̀nyí.

So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:

27 Nítorí pé gbogbo ohun ìríra wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ti gbé ilẹ̀ náà ṣáájú yín ti ṣe tí ó sì mú kí ilẹ̀ náà di aláìmọ́.

(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them; )

28 Bí ẹ bá sọ ilẹ̀ náà di àìmọ́ yóò pọ̀ yín jáde bí ó ti pọ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó ti wá ṣáájú yín jáde.

So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.

29 “‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ṣe ohun ìríra wọ̀nyí, kí ẹ gé irú ẹni náà kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.

For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.

30 Nítorí náà ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe ohun tí mo fẹ́, kí ẹ má sì lọ́wọ́ nínú àṣà ìríra wọ̀nyí, tí wọn ń ṣe kí ẹ tó dé. Ẹ má ṣe fi wọ́n ba ara yín jẹ́. Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.’”

So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
