< Leviticus 18 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I am the Lord your God.
loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos ego Dominus Deus vester
3 You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
iuxta consuetudinem terrae Aegypti in qua habitastis non facietis et iuxta morem regionis Chanaan ad quam ego introducturus sum vos non agetis nec in legitimis eorum ambulabitis
4 You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
facietis iudicia mea et praecepta servabitis et ambulabitis in eis ego Dominus Deus vester
5 Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.
custodite leges meas atque iudicia quae faciens homo vivet in eis ego Dominus
6 No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet ut revelet turpitudinem eius ego Dominus
7 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
turpitudinem patris et turpitudinem matris tuae non discoperies mater tua est non revelabis turpitudinem eius
8 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your father.
turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discoperies turpitudo enim patris tui est
9 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether from father or from mother, whether she was born at home or abroad.
turpitudinem sororis tuae ex patre sive ex matre quae domi vel foris genita est non revelabis
10 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or your daughter’s daughter; for it is your own nakedness.
turpitudinem filiae filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis quia turpitudo tua est
11 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to your father, and who is your sister.
turpitudinem filiae uxoris patris tui quam peperit patri tuo et est soror tua non revelabis
12 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; for she is the flesh of your father.
turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discoperies quia caro est patris tui
13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is the flesh of your mother.
turpitudinem sororis matris tuae non revelabis eo quod caro sit matris tuae
14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, nor shall you approach his wife, who is joined to you by affinity.
turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis nec accedes ad uxorem eius quae tibi adfinitate coniungitur
15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife; neither shall you expose her dishonor.
turpitudinem nurus tuae non revelabis quia uxor filii tui est nec discoperies ignominiam eius
16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your brother.
turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis quia turpitudo fratris tui est
17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your wife and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, so as to uncover her dishonor; for they are her flesh, and such sexual intercourse is incest.
turpitudinem uxoris tuae et filiae eius non revelabis filiam filii eius et filiam filiae illius non sumes ut reveles ignominiam eius quia caro illius sunt et talis coitus incestus est
18 You shall not take your wife’s sister as a rival mistress; nor shall you uncover her nakedness, while your wife is still living.
sororem uxoris tuae in pelicatum illius non accipies nec revelabis turpitudinem eius adhuc illa vivente
19 You shall not approach a woman who is undergoing menstruation, nor shall you uncover her foulness.
ad mulierem quae patitur menstrua non accedes nec revelabis foeditatem eius
20 You shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, nor shall you be defiled by the mingling of seed.
cum uxore proximi tui non coibis nec seminis commixtione maculaberis
21 You shall not give some of your seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor to pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.
de semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch nec pollues nomen Dei tui ego Dominus
22 You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.
cum masculo non commisceberis coitu femineo quia abominatio est
23 You shall not commit sexual acts with any animal, nor shall you be defiled by it. A woman shall not lie down with a beast, nor commit sexual acts with it; for this is wickedness.
cum omni pecore non coibis nec maculaberis cum eo mulier non subcumbet iumento nec miscebitur ei quia scelus est
24 Do not pollute yourselves with any of these things, by which all of the nations, which I will cast out in your sight, have been contaminated
ne polluamini in omnibus his quibus contaminatae sunt universae gentes quas ego eiciam ante conspectum vestrum
25 and by which the land has been polluted. I will visit the wickedness of the land, so that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
et quibus polluta est terra cuius ego scelera visitabo ut evomat habitatores suos
26 Keep my ordinances and judgments, and do not do any of these abominations: the native born, as well as the settler, who sojourns among you.
custodite legitima mea atque iudicia et non faciat ex omnibus abominationibus istis tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinatur apud vos
27 For all these detestable things were done by the inhabitants of the land who were here before you, and they have polluted it.
omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolae terrae qui fuerunt ante vos et polluerunt eam
28 Therefore, beware, lest in a similar manner, it may vomit you out as well, if you do these same things, just as it vomited out the people who were before you.
cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat cum paria feceritis sicut evomuit gentem quae fuit ante vos
29 Every soul who shall commit any of these abominations shall perish from the midst of his people.
omnis anima quae fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam peribit de medio populi sui
30 Keep my commandments. Do not be willing to do the things which have been done by those who were before you, and do not be polluted by these things. I am the Lord your God.
custodite mandata mea nolite facere quae fecerunt hii qui fuerunt ante vos et ne polluamini in eis ego Dominus Deus vester
