JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2“Ko eni foki, ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Ko ia fulipē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he kau muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku ne foaki hono hako kia Moleki; ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia: ʻe tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua.
2Moreover, thou shalt say to the children of Israel: Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
3Pea te u fakahangatonu hoku fofonga ki he tangata ko ia, ke motuhi ia mei hono kakai: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene foaki ʻa hono hako kia Moleki, ke ʻuliʻi hoku faletapu, mo fakaongokoviʻi hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni.
3I also will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people, because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile My sanctuary, and to profane My holy name.
4Pea kapau ʻoku fufū honau mata ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua mei he tangata, ʻi heʻene foaki hono hako kia Moleki, pea ʻikai tāmateʻi ia;
4And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death;
5Pea te u fakahanga hoku fofonga ki he tangata ko ia, pea ki hono fale, pea ko ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai hala ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, ke fai angahala mo Moleki, teu motuhi mei honau kakai.
5then I will set My face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, to go astray after Molech, from among their people.
6¶ “Pea ko ia ʻoku tafoki kiate kinautolu ʻoku vaka ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻuli, mo e kau taulafakafaʻahikehe, ke ʻalu holi kovi kiate kinautolu, te u fakahanga moʻoni hoku fofonga ki he tangata ko ia, pea teu motuhi ia mei hono kakai.
6And the soul that turneth unto the ghosts, and unto the familiar spirits, to go astray after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7¶ “Ko ia mou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou māʻoniʻoni: he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
7Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am the LORD your God.
8Pea ke mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻo fai ki ai: Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu.”
8And keep ye My statutes, and do them: I am the LORD who sanctify you.
9¶ He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia kuo ne kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē pea ʻe ʻiate ia pe hono toto.
9For whatsoever man there be that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10¶ Pea ko e tangata ʻoku tonoʻi ʻae uafi ʻoe tangata ʻe tokotaha, ʻio, ko ia ʻoku tonoʻi ʻae uafi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, ko e tangata tono fefine mo e fefine tono tangata, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ʻakinaua.
10And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11Ko e tangata ʻoku mohe mo e mali ʻo ʻene tamai kuo fakatelefua ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tamai: ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinaua fakatouʻosi pe; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.
11And the man that lieth with his father's wife — he hath uncovered his father's nakedness — both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
12Pea kapau ʻe mohe ʻae tangata mo hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinaua fakatouʻosi pe: kuo na fai fakamaveuveu; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.
12And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought corruption; their blood shall be upon them.
13Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo e tangata, ʻo hangē ko ʻene mohe mo e fefine, kuo na fai fakalielia fakatouʻosi pe; ke tāmateʻi moʻoni ʻakinaua; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.
13And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

14And if a man take with his wife also her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

15And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death; and ye shall slay the beast.
16Pea kapau ʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ha fefine ki ha manu, pea tokoto ki ai ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fefine, mo e manu: ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ʻakinaua; ʻe ʻiate kinaua hona toto.
16And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
17Pea kapau ʻe ʻave ʻe ha tangata hono tuofefine, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻene tamai, pe ko e tama ʻa ʻene faʻē, ʻo mamata ki heʻene telefua, pea mamata ia ki heʻene telefua ʻaʻana; ko e meʻa kovi ia: pea ʻe motuhi ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻao ʻo hona kakai: kuo tatala ʻo fakatelefua ʻa hono tuofefine; ʻe fua ʻe ia ʻene hia.
17And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness: it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18Pea kapau ʻe mohe ha tangata mo e fefine ʻoku ʻiate ia hono mahaki, pea tatala hono mahaki; kuo ne fakatelefua hono mahaki, pea kuo tatala ʻe ia ʻae mata ʻo hono toto: pea ʻe motuhi ʻakinaua fakatouʻosi mei hona kakai.

22Ye shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all Mine ordinances, and do them, that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, vomit you not out.
23Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai ki he ngaahi anga ʻoe puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ou kapusi mei homou ʻao: he kuo nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ko ia kuo u fehiʻa ai kiate kinautolu.
23And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24Ka kuo u lea kiate kimoutolu, Te mou maʻu honau fonua, pea te u ʻatu ia kiate kimoutolu ke mou maʻu ia, ko e fonua ʻoku mahu tāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo u vaheʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai kehe.
24But I have said unto you: 'Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.' I am the LORD your God, who have set you apart from the peoples.
25Ko ia ke mou vaheʻi ʻae fanga manu maʻa mo e taʻemaʻa, pea lau kehe ʻae fanga manu taʻemaʻa ʻoku kapakau mo e maʻa: pea ʻoua naʻa mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he manu, pe ha manu kapakau, pe ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku totolo ʻi he kelekele, ʻaia kuo vaheʻi ia ʻiate kimoutolu ko e taʻemaʻa.
25Ye shall therefore separate between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and ye shall not make your souls detestable by beast, or by fowl, or by any thing wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean.
26Pea te mou māʻoniʻoni kiate au: he ko au Sihova ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni, pea kuo u fakamavahe ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai kehe, koeʻuhi ke ʻoʻoku ʻakimoutolu.
26And ye shall be holy unto Me; for I the LORD am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be Mine.
27¶ “Ko e tangata foki, pe ko e fefine ʻoku vaka ai ʻae laumālie ʻuli, pea ko e taulafakafaʻahikehe, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia: ʻe tolongaki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae maka: ʻe ʻiate kinautolu honau toto.
