3 Mosebog 18
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
The LORD said to Moses,
2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.
3 Som de handler i Ægypten, hvor I opholdt eder, maa I ikke handle, og som de handler i Kana'ans Land, hvor jeg fører eder hen, maa I ikke handle; I maa ikke vandre efter deres Anordninger.
You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.
4 Efter mine Lovbud skal I handle, og mine Anordninger skal I holde, saa I vandrer efter dem; jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.
5 I skal holde mine Anordninger og Lovbud; det Menneske, der handler efter dem, skal leve ved dem. Jeg er HERREN!
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am the LORD.

“‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
24 Gør eder ikke urene med noget saadant, thi med alt saadant har de Folkeslag, jeg driver bort foran eder, gjort sig urene.
“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 Derved blev Landet urent, og jeg straffede det for dets Brøde, og Landet udspyede sine Indbyggere.
The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
26 Hold derfor mine Anordninger og Lovbud og øv ikke nogen af disse Vederstyggeligheder, det gælder baade den indfødte og den fremmede, der bor iblandt eder —
You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you
27 thi alle disse Vederstyggeligheder øvede Indbyggerne, som var der før eder, og Landet blev urent —
(for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),
28 for at ikke Landet skal udspy eder, naar I gør det urent, ligesom det udspyede det Folk, som var der før eder.
that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Thi enhver, som øver nogen af alle disse Vederstyggeligheder, de, der øver dem, skal udryddes af deres Folk.
“‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from amongst their people.
30 Saa hold mine Forskrifter, saa I ikke øver nogen af de vederstyggelige Skikke, som øvedes før eders Tid, at I ikke skal gøre eder urene ved dem. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practise any of these abominable customs which were practised before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.’”
