Leviticus 18 – NIRV & TCB

New International Reader’s Version

Leviticus 18:1-30

Do Not Commit Sexual Sins

1The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 2“Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘I am the Lord your God. 3Do not do what the people of Egypt do. You used to live there. And do not do what the people of Canaan do. I am bringing you into their land. Do not follow their practices. 4Obey my laws. Be careful to follow my rules. I am the Lord your God. 5Keep my rules and laws. The one who obeys them will benefit from living by them. I am the Lord.

6“ ‘Do not have sex with any of your close relatives. I am the Lord.

7“ ‘Do not bring shame on your father by having sex with your mother. Do not have sex with her. She is your mother.

8“ ‘Do not have sex with any other wife of your father. That would bring shame on your father.

9“ ‘Do not have sex with your sister. It does not matter whether she is your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter. It does not matter whether she was born in the same home as you were or somewhere else.

10“ ‘Do not have sex with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter. That would bring shame on you.

11“ ‘Do not have sex with the daughter of your father’s wife. She was born to your father. She is your sister.

12“ ‘Do not have sex with your father’s sister. She is a close relative on your father’s side.

13“ ‘Do not have sex with your mother’s sister. She is a close relative on your mother’s side.

14“ ‘Do not bring shame on your father’s brother by having sex with his wife. She is your aunt.

15“ ‘Do not have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. Do not have sex with her.

16“ ‘Do not have sex with your brother’s wife. That would bring shame on your brother.

17“ ‘Do not have sex with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sex with either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter. They are close relatives on her side. Having sex with them is an evil thing.

18“ ‘Do not take your wife’s sister as another wife and have sex with her. Do not do it while your wife is still living.

19“ ‘Do not have sex with a woman during her monthly period. She is “unclean” at that time.

20“ ‘Do not have sex with your neighbor’s wife. That would make you “unclean.”

21“ ‘Do not hand over any of your children to be sacrificed to the god Molek. That would be treating my name as if it were not holy. I am the Lord your God.

22“ ‘Do not have sex with a man as you would have sex with a woman. I hate that.

23“ ‘Do not have sex with an animal. Do not make yourself “unclean” by doing that. A woman must not offer herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is a wrong use of sex.

24“ ‘Do not make yourselves “unclean” in any of these ways. That is how other nations became “unclean.” So I am going to drive those nations out of the land to make room for you. 25Even their land was not “clean.” So I punished it because of its sin. The land itself threw out the people who lived there. 26But you must keep my rules and my laws. You must not do any of the things I hate. It does not matter whether you are Israelites or outsiders. 27All these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you. That is how the land became “unclean.” 28If you make the land “unclean,” it will throw you out. It will get rid of you just as it got rid of the nations there before you.

29“ ‘Suppose you do any of the things I hate. Then you must be separated from your people. 30Do exactly what I require. When you arrive in Canaan, do not follow any of the practices of its people. I hate the things they do. Do not make yourselves “unclean” by doing them. I am the Lord your God.’ ”

Leviticus 18:1-30

Ang mga Ipinagbabawal na Gawaing Mahahalay

1Inutusan ng Panginoon si Moises 2na sabihin ito sa mga taga-Israel:

Ako ang Panginoon na inyong Dios. 3Huwag nʼyong gawin ang mga ginagawa ng mga taga-Egipto, kung saan kayo tumira noon. Huwag din ninyong gayahin ang mga ginagawa ng mga taga-Canaan na pagdadalhan ko sa inyo. 4-5Dapat ninyong sundin ang aking mga utos at mga tuntunin dahil ang mga susunod dito ay mabubuhay. Ako ang Panginoon na inyong Dios.

6Huwag kayong sumiping sa malapit ninyong kamag-anak. Ako ang Panginoon.

7-8Huwag mong ilagay sa kahihiyan ang iyong ama sa pamamagitan ng pagsiping sa iyong ina o sa iba pa niyang asawa.

9Huwag kang sumiping sa iyong kapatid na babae, kahit na kapatid mo siya sa ama o sa ina, kahit na lumaki siya sa inyo o hindi.

10Huwag kang sumiping sa iyong apong babae dahil magbibigay ito sa iyo ng kahihiyan.

11Huwag kang sumiping sa anak na babae ng iyong ama sa iba niyang asawa, dahil kapatid mo rin siya.

12-13Huwag kang sumiping sa iyong tiyahin na kapatid ng iyong ama o ina.

14Huwag mong ilalagay sa kahihiyan ang iyong tiyuhin sa pamamagitan ng pagsiping sa kanyang asawa, dahil tiyahin mo rin siya.

15Huwag kang sumiping sa iyong manugang na babae dahil asawa siya ng iyong anak.

16Huwag kang sumiping sa iyong hipag na babae dahil itoʼy magbibigay ng kahihiyan sa iyong kapatid.

17Huwag kang sumiping sa anak o apo ng babaeng sinipingan mo noon, dahil baka anak o apo mo iyon at itoʼy nakakahiya.

18Huwag kang mag-asawa ng kapatid na babae ng iyong asawa habang buhay pa ang iyong asawa.

19Huwag kang sumiping sa babaeng may buwanang dalaw dahil itinuturing siyang marumi.

20Huwag kang sumiping sa asawa ng iba dahil kapag ginawa mo ito, ituturing kang marumi.

21Huwag mong ibibigay ang iyong anak para ihandog sa dios na si Molec, dahil iyan ay paglapastangan sa aking pangalan na iyong Dios. Ako ang Panginoon.

22Huwag kang sumiping sa kapwa mo lalaki o kapwa mo babae dahil kasuklam-suklam ito.

23Huwag kang sumiping sa hayop dahil ito ay napakasama at ikaw ay ituturing na marumi kapag ginawa mo iyon.

24Huwag ninyong dumihan ang inyong sarili sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng ganitong mga gawain dahil ito ang nagparumi sa mga taong pinaalis ko sa lupaing ibinigay ko sa inyo. 25-28At kahit ang lupain ay nadungisan dahil sa ginawa nilang iyon. Pinadalhan ko ng mga salot ang lupaing iyon para silaʼy magsialis doon. Pero kayong mga katutubong Israelita at mga dayuhang naninirahang kasama ninyo, huwag ninyong gawin ang kasuklam-suklam na gawaing iyon, kundi sundin ninyo ang mga tuntunin at mga kautusan ko. Sapagkat kung dudungisan din ninyo ang lupaing iyon, sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng mga gawaing iyon, paaalisin ko rin kayo sa lupaing iyon katulad ng mga taong unang tumira roon. 29Ang sinumang gumawa ng mga kasuklam-suklam na gawaing ito ay huwag na ninyong ituring na kababayan. 30Kaya sundin ninyo ang iniuutos ko sa inyo at huwag ninyong susundin ang mga kasuklam-suklam na ginawa ng mga taong nauna sa inyo, para hindi ninyo madungisan ang inyong sarili katulad nila. Ako ang Panginoon na inyong Dios.
