利未記 18
1 耶和華對摩西說：
The Lord told Moses,
2 「你曉諭以色列人說：我是耶和華－你們的上帝。
“Tell the Israelites: I am the Lord your God.
3 你們從前住的埃及地，那裏人的行為，你們不可效法，我要領你們到的迦南地，那裏人的行為也不可效法，也不可照他們的惡俗行。
Don't follow the ways of Egypt where you used to live, and don't follow the ways of Canaan where I'm going to take you. Don't adopt their practices.
4 你們要遵我的典章，守我的律例，按此而行。我是耶和華－你們的上帝。
Do what I tell you and keep my rules. I am the Lord your God.
5 所以，你們要守我的律例典章；人若遵行，就必因此活着。我是耶和華。
If you keep my rules and do what I tell you, you will live. I am the Lord.
6 「你們都不可露骨肉之親的下體，親近他們。我是耶和華。
Don't have sex with a close relative.
7 不可露你母親的下體，羞辱了你父親。她是你的母親，不可露她的下體。
Don't shame your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother; don't have sex with her.
8 不可露你繼母的下體；這本是你父親的下體。
Don't have sex with any of your father's wives and shame your father.
9 你的姊妹，不拘是異母同父的，是異父同母的，無論是生在家生在外的，都不可露她們的下體。
Don't have sex with your sister, whether she's your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, or whether she was born in the same house as you or somewhere else.
10 不可露你孫女或是外孫女的下體，露了她們的下體就是露了自己的下體。
Don't have sex with your granddaughter, your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, because that would be shameful thing for you.
11 你繼母從你父親生的女兒本是你的妹妹，不可露她的下體。
Don't have sex with the daughter of any of your father's wives and your father, she is your sister.
12 不可露你姑母的下體；她是你父親的骨肉之親。
Don't have sex with your father's sister. She is a close relative of your father.
13 不可露你姨母的下體；她是你母親的骨肉之親。
Don't have sex with your mother's sister. She is a close relative of your mother.
14 不可親近你伯叔之妻，羞辱了你伯叔；她是你的伯叔母。
Don't bring shame on your uncle by having sex with his wife. She is your aunt.
15 不可露你兒婦的下體；她是你兒子的妻，不可露她的下體。
Don't have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife. Don't have sex with her.
16 不可露你弟兄妻子的下體；這本是你弟兄的下體。
Don't have sex with your brother's wife and bring shame on your brother.
17 不可露了婦人的下體，又露她女兒的下體，也不可娶她孫女或是外孫女，露她們的下體；她們是骨肉之親，這本是大惡。
Don't have sex with both a woman and her daughter. Don't have sex with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are her close relatives. That is something I loathe.
18 你妻還在的時候，不可另娶她的姊妹作對頭，露她的下體。
Don't marry your wife's sister and have sex with her while your wife is still alive. They will be hostile wives to one other.
19 「女人行經不潔淨的時候，不可露她的下體，與她親近。
Don't have sex with a woman during the time she is unclean because of her period.
20 不可與鄰舍的妻行淫，玷污自己。
Don't commit any sex act with any other man's wife. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
21 不可使你的兒女經火歸與摩洛，也不可褻瀆你上帝的名。我是耶和華。
Don't give any of your children as a human sacrifice to Molech, for you must not disgrace the character of your God. I am the Lord.
22 不可與男人苟合，像與女人一樣；這本是可憎惡的。
Don't have sex with a man as with a woman. That is something disgusting.
23 不可與獸淫合，玷污自己。女人也不可站在獸前，與牠淫合；這本是逆性的事。
Don't have sex with any animal. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
24 「在這一切的事上，你們都不可玷污自己；因為我在你們面前所逐出的列邦，在這一切的事上玷污了自己；
A woman must not give herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is something disgusting. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean by doing anything like this. That's the reason I'm expelling these nations from the land—they polluted themselves because of all these practices.
25 連地也玷污了，所以我追討那地的罪孽，那地也吐出它的居民。
Even the land has become polluted, so I am punishing it for the sins committed by the people who live there, and the land will vomit them out.
26 故此，你們要守我的律例典章。這一切可憎惡的事，無論是本地人，是寄居在你們中間的外人，都不可行，（
You, however, must do what I tell you and keep my rules. You must not do any of these disgusting acts, whether an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.
27 在你們以先居住那地的人行了這一切可憎惡的事，地就玷污了，）
The people who lived in the land before you practiced all these disgusting things, and the land became polluted.
28 免得你們玷污那地的時候，地就把你們吐出，像吐出在你們以先的國民一樣。
If you pollute the land, it will vomit you out just like it did the nations before you.
29 無論甚麼人，行了其中可憎的一件事，必從民中剪除。
Consequently anyone who does any of these disgusting things must be expelled from their people.
30 所以，你們要守我所吩咐的，免得你們隨從那些可憎的惡俗，就是在你們以先的人所常行的，以致玷污了自己。我是耶和華－你們的上帝。」
You must accept my demand that you don't follow any of these disgusting practices done before you arrived. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean. I am the Lord your God.”
