< 利未記 20 >
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 你對以色列子民說:以色列子民和僑居以色列的外方人中,若有人將子女獻給摩肋客,應處死刑;當地的人應用石頭砸死他。
Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers, that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die: the people of the land shall stone him.
3 我必板起臉來與此人作對,將他由民間剷除,因為他將兒女獻給了摩肋客,玷汙了我的聖所,褻瀆了我的聖名。
And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.
4 當地的人,若在這人奉獻自己的女兒給摩肋客時,竟閉目不看,而不將他處死,
And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:
5 我自己要板起臉來與這人和他的家族作對,將他和一切隨著他敬拜摩肋客的人,由他們的人民中間一律剷除。
I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with Moloch, out of the midst of their people.
6 若有人去求問亡魂和占普者,跟隨他們行邪法,我必板起臉來與這人作對,將他由民間剷除。
The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them, I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
7 你們應成聖自己,成為聖的,因為我上主是你們的天主。
Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy because I am the Lord your God.
8 你們應遵守我的法令,一一依照執行,我是要你們成聖的上主。
Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you.
