< Leviticus 20 >
1 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說:」
2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
你對以色列子民說:以色列子民和僑居以色列的外方人中,若有人將子女獻給摩肋客,應處死刑;當地的人應用石頭砸死他。
3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
我必板起臉來與此人作對,將他由民間剷除,因為他將兒女獻給了摩肋客,玷汙了我的聖所,褻瀆了我的聖名。
4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
當地的人,若在這人奉獻自己的女兒給摩肋客時,竟閉目不看,而不將他處死,
5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
我自己要板起臉來與這人和他的家族作對,將他和一切隨著他敬拜摩肋客的人,由他們的人民中間一律剷除。
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
若有人去求問亡魂和占普者,跟隨他們行邪法,我必板起臉來與這人作對,將他由民間剷除。
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.
你們應成聖自己,成為聖的,因為我上主是你們的天主。
8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you.
