Levítico 18

1 Yahweh said to Moses, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am Yahweh your God. 3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes. 4 You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am Yahweh your God. 5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.

6 "‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.

7 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

8 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.

9 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.

10 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness; for theirs is your own nakedness.

11 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.

12 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.

13 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.

14 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.

15 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

16 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.

17 "‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.

18 "‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.

19 "‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

20 "‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.

21 "‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.

22 "‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.

23 "‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.

24 "‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled. 25 The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants. 26 You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you 27 (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled), 28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

29 "‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’"

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 2 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua. 3 Kei rite ā koutou mahi ki ngā mahi a te whenua o Īhipa, i noho nā koutou. Kei rite hoki ā koutou mahi ki ngā mahi a te whenua o Kanaana, e kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira. Kei haere i runga i ā rātou tikanga. 4 Me mahi āku whakaritenga, kia mau ki āku tikanga, me haere hoki i reira; ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua. 5 Inā, kia mau ki āku tikanga, ki āku whakaritenga; ki te mahia hoki ēnā e te tangata, mā reira e ora ai. Ko Ihowā ahau.

6 "Kaua tētahi o koutou e whakatata ki tētahi o ōna whanaunga tupu, hura ai i tō rātou kiri tahanga: Ko Ihowā ahau.

7 "Kei hurahia e koe tōu pāpā, tōu whaea rānei, kia takoto tahanga; ko tōu whaea ia; kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga.

8 "Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te wahine a tōu pāpā; ko te wāhi takoto tahanga ia o tōu pāpā.

9 "Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga tōu tuahine, te tamāhine a tōu pāpā, te tamāhine rānei a tōu whaea, ahakoa i whānau ki te kāinga, i whānau rānei ki tētahi atu wāhi; kei hurahia rāua e koe kia takoto tahanga.

10 "Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te tamāhine a tāu tama, te tamāhine rānei a tāu tamāhine, kei hurahia rāua e koe kia takoto tahanga; nōu hoki te wāhi o rāua i takoto tahanga nā.

11 "Kei takoto tahanga i a koe te tamāhine a te wahine a tōu pāpā, te whānau a tōu pāpā, he tuahine ia nōu, kei hurahia ia e koe kia takoto tahanga.

12 "Kei hurahia te tuahine o tōu pāpā kia takoto tahanga; he whanaunga tupu ia nō tōu pāpā.

13 "Kei hurahia e koe te tuakana, teina rānei, o tōu whaea kia takoto tahanga; he whanaunga tupu hoki ia nō tōu whaea.

14 "Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te teina, tuakana rānei, o tōu pāpā, kei whakatata koe ki tāna wahine; ko tōu whaea kēkē ia.

15 "Kei hurahia e koe tāu hunaonga kia takoto tahanga; ko te wahine ia a tāu tama, kei hurahia ia e koe kia takoto tahanga.

16 "Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te wahine a tōu tuakana, teina rānei; nō tōu tuakana, teina rānei, taua wāhi i takoto tahanga nā.

17 "Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te wahine rāua ko tāna tamāhine, kaua anō e tangohia te tamāhine a tāna tama, te tamāhine rānei a tāna tamāhine, hura ai i a ia kia takoto tahanga; he whanaunga pū hoki rātou ki a ia; he mea kino tēnā.

18 "Kaua anō hoki e tangohia he wahine ki te taha o tōna tuakana, teina rānei, hei whakatetetete ki a ia; kaua ia e hurahia kia takoto tahanga, me te ora anō hoki tērā.

19 "Kaua anō hoki e whakatata ki te wahine ki te hura i a ia kia takoto tahanga, i a ia e poke ana i te paheketanga.

20 "Kaua anō hoki e takoto pūremu ki te wahine a tōu hoa, whakapoke ai i a koe ki a ia.

21 "Kaua anō e tukua tētahi o ōu uri kia haere nā waenga ahi hei mea ki a Moreke, kaua anō e whakanoatia te ingoa o tōu Atua. Ko Ihowā ahau.

22 "Kei takotoria wahinetia te tāne; he mea whakarihariha tēnā.

23 "Kaua anō hoki e takoto ki tētahi kararehe, whakapoke ai i a koe ki taua mea. Kaua hoki tētahi wahine e tū ki te aroaro o tētahi kararehe, takoto tahi ai rāua; he mea anuanu tēnā.

24 "Kei poke koutou i tētahi o ēnei mea; e poke ana hoki i ēnei mea katoa ngā iwi ka peia nei e ahau i tō koutou aroaro. 25 Kua poke anō hoki te whenua; koia ahau i mea ai kia tau iho tōna kino ki runga ki a ia; ā, e whakaruaki ana te whenua i ōna tāngata. 26 Mō reira kia mau ki āku tikanga ki āku whakaritenga whakawā; kaua anō e mahia tētahi o ēnei mea whakarihariha e te tangata whenua, e te manene rānei i roto i a koutou 27 (nō te mea kua mahia ēnei mea whakarihariha katoa e ngā tāngata whenua ō mua i a koutou, ā, poke iho te whenua); 28 kei whakaruakina anō hoki koutou e te whenua, ina poke i a koutou, pērā me ngā iwi e whakaruakina nei i tō koutou aroaro.

29 "Ki te mahia hoki tētahi o ēnei mea whakarihariha e tētahi tangata, inā, ka hātepea atu ngā wairua e pēnā i roto i tō rātou iwi. 30 Nō reira kia mau ki āku i whakahau atu ai, kei mahia e koutou tētahi o ēnei ritenga whakarihariha i mahia nei i mua i a koutou, kei poke hoki koutou i aua mea. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua."
