2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.
「你曉諭以色列人說:我是耶和華-你們的上帝。
3 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.
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。

25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
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。
26 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.
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,(
27 For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.
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,)
28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
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。
29 Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.
無論甚麼人,行了其中可憎的一件事,必從民中剪除。
30 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.”
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。」
