< Leviticus 20 >
1 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
耶和華對摩西說:
2 “Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘Anyone of the children of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel [God prevails], who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.
「你還要曉諭以色列人說:凡以色列人,或是在以色列中寄居的外人,把自己的兒女獻給摩洛的,總要治死他;本地人要用石頭把他打死。
3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary and profane את my holy name.
我也要向那人變臉,把他從民中剪除;因為他把兒女獻給摩洛,玷污我的聖所,褻瀆我的聖名。
4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death;
那人把兒女獻給摩洛,本地人若佯為不見,不把他治死,
5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
我就要向這人和他的家變臉,把他和一切隨他與摩洛行邪淫的人都從民中剪除。
6 “‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
「人偏向交鬼的和行巫術的,隨他們行邪淫,我要向那人變臉,把他從民中剪除。
7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh M’Kaddesh [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes you holy].
所以你們要自潔成聖,因為我是耶和華-你們的上帝。
8 You shall keep my regulations, and do them. I am Yahweh M’Kaddesh [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes you holy].
你們要謹守遵行我的律例;我是叫你們成聖的耶和華。
9 “‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
凡咒罵父母的,總要治死他;他咒罵了父母,他的罪要歸到他身上。

They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his depravity (moral evil).

「所以,你們要謹守遵行我一切的律例典章,免得我領你們去住的那地把你們吐出。

我在你們面前所逐出的國民,你們不可隨從他們的風俗;因為他們行了這一切的事,所以我厭惡他們。

所以,你們要把潔淨和不潔淨的禽獸分別出來;不可因我給你們分為不潔淨的禽獸,或是滋生在地上的活物,使自己成為可憎惡的。
