Levitski zakonik 20
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Kaži Izraelcima: 'Tko god, Izraelac, ili stranac koji živi s Izraelcima, ustupi svoje čedo Moleku, mora se smaknuti; narod zemlje neka ga kamenuje.
“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.
3 Ja ću se okrenuti protiv toga čovjeka i odstraniti ga iz njegova naroda, jer je on, ustupivši svoje čedo Moleku, okaljao moje Svetište i obeščastio moje sveto ime.
I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 A ako narod zatvori svoje oči nad tim čovjekom kad svoje čedo ustupi Moleku te ga ne smakne,
If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death,
5 ja ću se suprotstaviti tome čovjeku i njegovoj obitelji; odstranit ću ih iz njihova naroda, njega i sve koji poslije njega pođu za Molekom da se podaju bludu s Molekom.
then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
6 Ako se tko obrati na zazivače duhova i vračare da se za njima poda javnom bludu, ja ću se okrenuti protiv takva čovjeka i odstranit ću ga iz njegova naroda.
“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Posvećujte se da budete sveti! TÓa ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God.
8 Držite moje zakone i vršite ih. Ja, Jahve, posvećujem vas'.”
You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
9 “Tko god prokune svoga oca i svoju majku, neka se smakne. Jer je oca svoga i majku svoju prokleo, neka njegova krv padne na nj.
“‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
10 Čovjek koji počini preljub sa ženom svoga susjeda neka se kazni smrću - i preljubnik i preljubnica.
“‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 Čovjek koji bi legao sa ženom svoga oca - otkrio bi golotinju svoga oca - neka se oboje kazne smrću, krv njihova neka padne na njih.
“‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

15 Čovjek koji bi spolno općio sa životinjom ima se smaknuti. Životinju ubijte!
“‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
16 Ako bi se žena primakla bilo kakvoj životinji da se s njom pari, ubij i ženu i životinju. Neka se smaknu i njihova krv neka padne na njih.
“‘If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
17 Čovjek koji bi se oženio svojom sestrom, kćerju svoga oca ili kćerju svoje majke te vidio njezinu golotinju, a ona vidjela njegovu - pogrdno je to djelo! - neka se istrijebe pred očima naroda. Otkrio je golotinju svoje sestre, pa neka snosi i posljedice svoje krivnje.
“‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.
18 Čovjek koji bi legao sa ženom za njezina mjesečnog pranja te otkrio njezinu golotinju - razgolio izvor njezine krvi i ona sama otkrila izvor svoje krvi - neka se oboje odstrane iz svoga naroda.
“‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

22 “Zato držite sve moje zakone, sve moje naredbe i vršite ih da vas ne ispljune zemlja u koju vas vodim da se u njoj nastanite.
“‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
23 Nemojte živjeti po zakonima naroda koje ja ispred vas tjeram. TÓa oni su činili sve to, i zato mi se zgadili.
You 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.
24 A vama sam ja rekao: vi ćete zaposjesti njihovu zemlju; vama ću je predati u posjed - zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja sam Jahve, vaš Bog, koji sam vas odvojio od tih naroda.
But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
25 Pravite, dakle, razliku između čiste životinje i nečiste; između čiste ptice i nečiste. Nemojte sami sebe opoganjivati ni životinjom, ni pticom, ni bilo čim što zemljom puže: što sam vam ja odlučio kao nečisto.
“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
26 Budite mi dakle sveti, jer sam ja, Jahve, svet; ja sam vas odvojio od tih naroda da budete moji.
You shall be holy to me, for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 Čovjek ili žena koji među vama postanu zazivači duhova ili vračari neka se kazne smrću; neka se kamenuju i neka njihova krv padne na njih.”
“‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”
