< Leviticus 18 >
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé: ‘Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: 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 shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
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.
You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in 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.
Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.
6 “‘Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ìbátan rẹ̀ láti bá a lòpọ̀. Èmí ni Olúwa.
No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. 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 shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tàbùkù baba rẹ nípa bíbá ìyàwó baba rẹ lòpọ̀, nítorí ìhòhò baba rẹ ni.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your father.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or your daughter’s daughter; for it is your own nakedness.
11 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá ọmọbìnrin aya baba rẹ lòpọ̀; èyí tí a bí fún baba rẹ nítorí pé arábìnrin rẹ ni.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to your father, and who is your sister.
12 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá arábìnrin baba rẹ lòpọ̀ nítorí pé ìbátan baba rẹ ni.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; for she is the flesh of your father.
13 “‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá arábìnrin màmá rẹ lòpọ̀ nítorí pé ìbátan ìyá rẹ ni.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is the flesh of your mother.
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 shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, nor shall you approach his wife, who is joined to you by affinity.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your brother.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your wife and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, so as to uncover her dishonor; for they are her flesh, and such sexual intercourse is incest.
18 “‘Má ṣe fẹ́ àbúrò ìyàwó rẹ obìnrin ní aya gẹ́gẹ́ bí orogún tàbí bá a lòpọ̀, nígbà tí ìyàwó rẹ sì wà láààyè.

You shall not give some of your seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor to pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.

You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.
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.
You shall not commit sexual acts with any animal, nor shall you be defiled by it. A woman shall not lie down with a beast, nor commit sexual acts with it; for this is wickedness.
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 pollute yourselves with any of these things, by which all of the nations, which I will cast out in your sight, have been contaminated
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 by which the land has been polluted. I will visit the wickedness of the land, so that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
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.
Keep my ordinances and judgments, and do not do any of these abominations: the native born, as well as the settler, who sojourns among 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 detestable things were done by the inhabitants of the land who were here before you, and they have polluted it.
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.
Therefore, beware, lest in a similar manner, it may vomit you out as well, if you do these same things, just as it vomited out the people who were before you.
29 “‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ṣe ohun ìríra wọ̀nyí, kí ẹ gé irú ẹni náà kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
Every soul who shall commit any of these abominations shall perish from the midst of his 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.’”
Keep my commandments. Do not be willing to do the things which have been done by those who were before you, and do not be polluted by these things. I am the Lord your God.
