Leviticus 19

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 Speake vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Ye shalbe holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

“Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: You are holy, because I, your God YHWH, [am] holy.

3 Yee shall feare euery man his mother and his father, and shall keepe my Sabbaths: for I am the Lord your God.

You each fear his mother and his father, and you keep My Sabbaths; I [am] your God YHWH.

4 Ye shall not turne vnto idoles, nor make you molten gods: I am the Lord your God.

You do not turn to the idols, and you do not make a molten god for yourselves; I [am] your God YHWH.

5 And when yee shall offer a peace offering vnto the Lord, ye shall offer it freely.

And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you sacrifice it at your pleasure;

6 It shall be eaten the day yee offer it, or on the morowe: and that which remaineth vntill the third day, shalbe burnt in the fire.

it is eaten in the day of your sacrificing [it], and on the next day, and that which is left to the third day is burned with fire,

7 For if it be eaten the third day, it shall be vncleane, it shall not be accepted.

and if it is really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,

8 Therefore he that eateth it, shall beare his iniquitie, because he hath defiled the halowed thing of the Lord, and that person shalbe cut off from his people.

and he who is eating it bears his iniquity, for he has defiled the holy thing of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from his people.

9 When yee reape the haruest of your land, ye shall not reape euery corner of your field, neither shalt thou gather the glainings of thy haruest.

And in your reaping the harvest of your land you do not completely reap the corner of your field, and you do not gather the gleaning of your harvest,

10 Thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy vineyarde cleane, neyther gather euery grape of thy vineyarde, but thou shalt leaue them for the poore and for the straunger: I am the Lord your God.

and you do not glean your vineyard, even the omitted part of your vineyard you do not gather, you leave them for the poor and for the sojourner; I [am] your God YHWH.

11 Ye shall not steale, neither deale falsely, neither lie one to another.

You do not steal, nor feign, nor lie—each against his fellow.

12 Also yee shall not sweare by my name falsely, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

And you do not swear by My Name for falsehood, or you have defiled the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH.

13 Thou shalt not do thy neighbour wrong, neither rob him. The workemans hire shall not abide with thee vntil the morning.

You do not oppress your neighbor, nor take plunder; the wages of the hired worker do not remain with you until morning.

14 Thou shalt not curse the deafe, neither put a stumbling blocke before the blinde, but shalt feare thy God: I am the Lord.

You do not revile the deaf; and you do not put a stumbling block before the blind; and you have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH.

15 Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement. Thou shalt not fauour the person of the poore, nor honour the person of the mightie, but thou shalt iudge thy neighbour iustly.

You do not do perversity in judgment; you do not lift up the face of the poor, nor honor the face of the great; you judge your fellow in righteousness.

16 Thou shalt not walke about with tales among thy people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord.

You do not go slandering among your people; you do not stand against the blood of your neighbor; I [am] YHWH.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but thou shalt plainely rebuke thy neighbour, and suffer him not to sinne.

You do not hate your brother in your heart; you certainly reprove your fellow, and do not permit sin on him.

18 Thou shalt not auenge, nor be mindful of wrong against ye childre of thy people, but shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe: I am the Lord.

You do not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of your people; and you have had love for your neighbor as yourself; I [am] YHWH.

19 Yee shall keepe mine ordinances. Thou shalt not let thy cattel gender with others of diuers kindes. Thou shalt not sowe thy fielde with mingled seede, neyther shall a garment of diuers thinges, as of linen and wollen come vpon thee.

You keep My statutes. You do not cause your livestock to mate [with] two kinds; you do not sow your field with two kinds; and a garment of two kinds, mixed material, does not go up on you.

20 Whosoeuer also lyeth and medleth with a woman that is a bonde mayde, affianced to a husband, and not redeemed, nor freedome giuen her, she shalbe scourged, but they shall not die, because she is not made free.

And when a man lies with a woman with seed [from] intercourse, and she [is] a maidservant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom has not been given to her, there is an investigation; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.

21 And he shall bring for his trespasse offring vnto the Lord, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, a ramme for a trespasse offering.

And he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,

22 Then the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ramme of the trespasse offering before the Lord, concerning his sinne which he hath done, and pardon shalbe giuen him for his sinne which he hath committed.

and the priest has made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before YHWH, for his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him because of his sin which he has sinned.

23 Also when ye shall come into the land, and haue planted euery tree for meate, ye shall count the fruite thereof as vncircumcised: three yeere shall it be vncircumcised vnto you, it shall not be eaten:

And when you come into the land and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then you have reckoned its fruit as uncircumcised, it is uncircumcised to you [for] three years, it is not eaten,

24 But in the fourth yere all the fruite thereof shalbe holy to the praise of the Lord.

and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy—praises for YHWH.

25 And in the fifth yeere shall ye eate of the fruite of it that it may yeelde to you the encrease thereof: I am the Lord your God.

And in the fifth year you eat its fruit—to add to you its increase; I [am] your God YHWH.

26 Ye shall not eat the flesh with the blood, ye shall not vse witchcraft, nor obserue times.

You do not eat with the blood. You do not enchant, nor observe clouds.

27 Ye shall not cut rounde the corners of your heades, neither shalt thou marre the tuftes of thy beard.

You do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of your beard.

28 Ye shall not cut your flesh for the dead, nor make any print of a marke vpon you: I am the Lord,

And you do not put a cutting for the soul in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, you do not put on yourself; I [am] YHWH.

29 Thou shalt not make thy daughter common, to cause her to be a whore, least the lande also fall to whoredome, and the lande bee full of wickednesse.

You do not defile your daughter to cause her to go whoring, that the land does not go whoring, and the land has been full of wickedness.

30 Ye shall keepe my Sabbaths and reuerence my Sanctuarie: I am the Lord.

You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.

31 Ye shall not regarde them that worke with spirites, neither soothsayers: ye shall not seeke to them to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

You do not turn to those having familiar spirits, and you do not seek for wizards, to become unclean by them; I [am] your God YHWH.

32 Thou shalt rise vp before the horehead, and honour the person of the old man, and dread thy God: I am the Lord.

You rise up at the presence of grey hairs, and you have honored the presence of an old man, and have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH.

33 And if a stranger soiourne with thee in your lande, ye shall not vexe him.

And when a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you do not oppress him;

34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you, shalbe as one of your selues, and thou shalt loue him as thy selfe: for ye were strangers in the lad of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

the sojourner who is sojourning with you is to you as a native among you, and you have had love for him as for yourself, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.

35 Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement, in line, in weight, or in measure.

You do not do perversity in the judgment, in the measure, in the weight, and in the liquid measure;

36 You shall haue iust ballances, true weightes, a true Ephah, and a true Hin. I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt.

you have righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin; I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

37 Therefore shall ye obserue all mine ordinances, and all my iudgements, and doe them: I am the Lord.

and you have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] YHWH.”
