Leviticus 18

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am the Lord your God.

Israel kaminawk khaeah, Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

3 You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you, nor shall you walk in their ordinances.

Na oh o haih, Izip prae ah na sak o ih hmuen baktiah sah o hmah; kang hoih o ih, Kanaan prae kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuen baktiah doeh sah o hmah; nihcae ih tuinuen doeh awt o hmah.

4 You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.

Ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh loe, kang paek ih loknawk to pazui oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh.

5 Keep my laws and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. I am the Lord.

Kang paek o ih loknawk hoi ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh; pazui kami loe a pazuihaih rang hoiah hing tih; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.

6 No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.

Mi kawbaktih doeh athii kanghnai kami hoiah nongpa nongpata zaehaih to sah hmah; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.

7 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

Nam pa ih zu ah kaom, nam no hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam no ah oh pongah, nam no hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.

8 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife: for it is the nakedness of thy father.

Nam pa ih zu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam pa ih zu ah ni oh.

9 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy sister by father or by mother, whether born at home or abroad.

Na tanu hoiah zaehaih sah hmah; na imthung ah tapen maw, to tih ai boeh loe ahmuen kalah ah tapen maw, nam pa ih canu, nam no ih canu hoiah, zaehaih to sah hmah.

10 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or thy daughter’s daughter: because it is thy own nakedness.

Nam capa ih canu, na canu ih canu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nangmah ih athii angan ah ni oh.

11 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to thy father, and who is thy sister.

Nam pa hoi nam no mah sak ih canu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe na tanu ah ni oh.

12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: because she is the flesh of thy father.

Nam pa ih tanu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam pa hoi athii kanghnai kami ah ni oh.

13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: because she is thy mother’s flesh.

Nam no ih amnawk hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam no hoi athii kanghnai canawk ah oh.

14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother: neither shalt thou approach to his wife, who is joined to thee by affinity.

Nam pa amnawk ih zu hoiah zaehaih sak hanah anih to paang hmah; anih loe nam no ah ni oh.

15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: because she is thy son’s wife, neither shalt thou discover her shame.

Na langah hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe na capa ih zu ah ni oh; anih hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.

16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother.

Nam nawk zu hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; anih loe nam nawk ih zu ni.

17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest.

Nongpata maeto hoi a canu to nawnto zae haih hmaek hmah; to nongpata capa ih canu hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe to nongpata canu ih canu patoeng hoiah maw, zaehaih to sah hmah; nihcae loe athii kanghnai canawk ah ni oh o.

18 Thou shalt not take thy wife’s sister for a harlot, to rival her, neither shalt thou discover her nakedness, while she is yet living.

Na zu ih amnawk to zu ah la hmah; na zu to hing vop pongah, na zu ih amnawk hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.

19 Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers, neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness.

Nongpata loe athii hnuk moe, ciimcai ai ah oh nathuem ah iihaih hanah anih taengah caeh hmah.

20 Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour’s wife, nor be defiled with mingling of seed.

Nangmah hoi nangmah amhnong hanah, na imtaeng kami hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah.

21 Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

Angbawnhaih sak hanah kawbaktih na caa doeh Molek khaeah paek hmah; na Sithaw ahmin to panuet thok ah sah hmah; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh.

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination.

Nongpata hoi nawnto iih baktih toengah, nongpa hoi nawnto iip hmah; to loe panuet thok hmuen ah oh.

23 Thou shalt not copulate with any beast, neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime.

Nangmah hoi nangmah amhnong hanah, kahing moi hoiah zaehaih to sah hmah; nongpata mah zaehaih sak hanah kahing moi khaeah ang paek han om ai; to hmuen loe panuet thoh moe, katoeng loklam hoi amkhraenghaih ah ni oh.

24 Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,

Hae baktih hmuen sakhaih hoiah nangmah hoi nangmah to panuet thok ah om hmah; nangcae hmaa ah ka haek ih kaminawk loe to tiah khosak o.

25 And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.

Prae to panuet thok ah a sak o; a zae o haih pongah Ka thuitaek moe, prae mah a thungah kaom kaminawk to tasa bangah pathak prok.

26 Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.

To pongah nangcae loe kang paek ih lok hoi ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui oh; na prae thung tapen kami, to tih ai boeh loe nangcae salakah kaom angvinnawk mah doeh, to baktih panuet thok hmuen to saksak han om ai.

27 For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it.

(To baktih hmuen to nangcae hmaa ah kaom, prae kaminawk mah sak o pongah, prae to panuet thoh boeh; )

28 Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

nangcae hmaa ah kaom kaminawk to pakha thung hoi pathak baktih toengah, nangcae doeh pathak han ai ah, panuet thok hmuen to sah o hmah.

29 Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.

Mi kawbaktih doeh to baktih panuet thok hmuen sah kami loe, angmacae acaeng thung hoi pahnawt han oh.

30 Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.

To pongah nangcae hmaa ah a sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk pongah, nangmacae hoi nangmacae amhnong han ai ah, kang paek ih lok to pazui oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
