Leviticus 18

1 The LORD said to Moses,

Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and 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 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.

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 ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and 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 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, 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 “‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their 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 “‘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.

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

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

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.

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 “‘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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 “‘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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

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 The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her 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 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 amongst 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 the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),

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

28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, 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 “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from amongst their people.

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

30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practise any of these abominable customs which were practised before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. 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.
