利未記 18
1 上主訓示梅瑟說：」
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 你告訴以色列子民說：我是上主你們的天主。
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.
3 你們不要仿效你們註過的埃及地的習慣，也不要仿效我正要領你們去的客納罕地的習慣，不要隨從他們的風俗；
You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.
4 應執行我的規定，遵守我的法令，依照遵行：我，上主是你們的天主。
You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.

24 你們不可以任何這樣的事玷污自己，因為這些民足以這一些事玷污了自己，我正要由你們面前將他們驅逐；
Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.
25 甚至連這地也玷汙了，所以我必追究這地上的罪惡，使這地吐棄地上的居民。
Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
26 至於你們，應遵守我的法令和規定；不論是本地人，或是寄居在你們中間的外方人，這樣醜惡的事，一件也不許做，
But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.
27 因為在你們以前住在這地上的人，做過這一切醜惡的事，玷污了這地方。
For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.
28 希望這地不要因你們而再受到玷汙，將你們吐棄，如同吐棄了你們之前的民族。
So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
29 因為，凡做任何一件這樣醜惡的事，這樣的人，都應由民間剷除。
Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.
30 所以你們應遵守我的禁令，不可仿效你們以前的人所有的醜惡風俗，免得因此受到玷汙：我，上主是你們的天主。
You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”
