Leviticus 19
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
The Lord spak to Moises, and seide,
2 “Speak to all the assembly of the people of Israel and say to them, 'You must be holy, for I Yahweh your God am holy.
Speke thou to al the cumpenye of the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seie to hem, Be ye hooli, for Y am hooli, youre Lord God.
3 Everyone must respect his mother and his father, and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.
Ech man drede his fadir and his modir. Kepe ye my sabatis; Y am youre Lord God.
4 Do not turn to worthless idols, nor make for yourselves gods out of metal. I am Yahweh your God.
Nyle ye be turned to ydols, nether ye schulen make to you yotun goddis; Y am youre Lord God.
5 When you offer a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh, you must offer it that you may be accepted.
If ye offren a sacrifice of pesible thingis to the Lord, that it be quemeful,
6 It must be eaten the same day you offer it, or on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it must be burned up with fire.
ye schulen ete it in that day, in which it is offrid, and in the tother dai; sotheli what euer thing is residue in to the thridde dai, ye schulen brenne in fier.
7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is unclean meat; it must not be accepted,
If ony man etith therof aftir twei daes, he schal be vnhooli, and gilti of vnfeithfulnes `ether wickidnesse; and he schal bere his wickidnesse,
8 and everyone who eats it must carry his own guilt because he has defiled what is holy to Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from his people.
for he defoulide the hooli thing of the Lord, and his soule schal perische fro his puple.
9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not completely reap the corners of your field, neither will you gather all the produce of your harvest.
Whanne thou schalt repe the fruytis of thi lond, thou schalt not kitte `til to the ground the corn of the lond, nether thou schalt gadere the eeris of corn that ben left;
10 You must not gather every grape from your vineyard, nor gather the grapes that have fallen on the ground in your vineyard. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.
nethir in thi vyner thou schalt gadere reysyns and greynes fallynge doun, but thou schalt leeue to be gaderid of pore men and pilgryms; Y am youre Lord God.
11 Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive each other.
Ye schulen not do thefte. Ye schulen not lye, and no man disseyue his neiybour.
12 Do not swear by my name falsely and profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
Thou schalt not forswere in my name, nethir thou schalt defoule the name of thi God; Y am the Lord.
13 Do not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired servant must not stay with you all night until the morning.
Thou schalt not make fals chalenge to thi neiybore, nethir thou schalt oppresse hym bi violence. The werk of thin hirid man schal not dwelle at thee til the morewtid.
14 Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind. Instead, you must fear your God. I am Yahweh.
Thou schalt not curse a deef man, nether thou schalt sette an hurtyng bifor a blynd man; but thou schalt drede thi Lord God, for Y am the Lord.
15 Do not cause judgment to be false. You must not show favoritism to someone because he is poor, and you must not show favoritism to someone because he is important. Instead, judge your neighbor righteously.
Thou schalt not do that, that is wickid, nether thou schalt deme vniustli; biholde thou not the persoone of a pore man, nethir onoure thou the face of a myyti man; deme thou iustli to thi neiybore.
16 Do not walk around spreading slander among your people, but seek to protect your neighbor's life. I am Yahweh.
Thou schalt not be a sclaunderere, nether a priuey bacbitere in the puplis; thou schalt not stonde ayens the blood of thi neiybore; Y am the Lord.
17 Do not hate your brother in your heart. You must honestly rebuke your neighbor so as not to share in sin because of him.
Thou schalt not hate thi brothir in thin herte, but repreue hym opynly, lest thou haue synne on hym.
18 Do not take vengeance or hold any grudge against any of your people, but instead love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.
Thou schalt not seke veniaunce, nether thou schalt be myndeful of the wrong of thi cyteseyns; thou schalt loue thi freend as thi silf; Y am the Lord.
19 You must keep my commands. Do not try to breed your animals with different kinds of other animals. Do not mix two different kinds of seeds when planting your field. Do not wear clothing made of two kinds of material mixed together.
Kepe ye my lawis. Thou schalt not make thi beestis to gendre with the lyuynge beestis of another kynde. Thou schalt not sowe the feeld with dyuerse sede. Thou schalt not be clothid in a cloth, which is wouun of twei thingis.
20 Whoever sleeps with a slave girl who is promised to a husband, but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, they must be punished. They must not be put to death because she was not free.
If a man slepith with a womman by fleischly knowyng of seed, which womman is an `hand maide, ye, a noble womman of kyn, and netheles is not ayenbouyt bi prijs, nethir rewardid with fredom, bothe schulen be betun, and thei schulen not die, for sche was not fre.
21 A man must bring his guilt offering to Yahweh to the entrance to the tent of meeting—a ram as a guilt offering.
Sotheli the man for his trespas schal offre a ram to the Lord, at the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng;
22 Then the priest will make atonement for him with the ram for the guilt offering before Yahweh, for the sin that he has committed. Then the sin which he has committed will be forgiven.
and the preest schal preye for hym, and for his trespas, bifor the Lord; and the Lord schal be merciful to hym, and the synne schal be foryouun.
23 When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you must regard the fruit they produce as forbidden to be eaten. The fruit must be forbidden to you for three years. It must not be eaten.
Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond of biheest, and han plauntid therynne appil trees, ye schulen do awei the firste flouris; the applis whiche tho trees bryngen forth, schulen be vncleene to you, nethir ye schulen ete of tho.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to Yahweh.
Forsothe in the fourthe yeer al the fruyt of tho trees schal be `halewid preiseful to the Lord;
25 In the fifth you may eat the fruit, having waited so that the trees might produce more. I am Yahweh your God.
forsothe in the fifthe yeer ye schulen ete fruytis, and schulen gadere applis, whiche tho trees bryngen forth; Y am youre Lord God.
26 Do not eat any meat with blood still in it. Do not consult spirits about the future, and do not seek to control others by supernatural powers.
Ye schulen not ete fleisch with blood. Ye schulen not make veyn diuynyng, nether ye schulen kepe dremes;
27 You will not round off the corners of the hair on the sides of your head or shave off the edge of your beard.
nether ye schulen clippe the heer in round, nether ye schulen schaue the beerd;
28 Do not cut your body for the dead or put tattoo marks on your body. I am Yahweh.
and on deed men ye schulen not kitte youre fleischis, nether ye schulen make to you ony fyguris, ether markis in youre fleisch; Y am the Lord.
29 Do not disgrace your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the nation will fall to prostitution and the land will become full of wickedness.
Sette thou not thi douytir to do leccherie for hire, and the lond be defoulid, and be fillid with synne.
30 You must keep my Sabbaths and honor the sanctuary of my tabernacle. I am Yahweh.
Kepe ye my sabatis, and drede ye my seyntuarie; Y `am the Lord.
31 Do not turn to those who talk with the dead or with spirits. Do not seek them out, or they will defile you. I am Yahweh your God.
Bowe ye not to astronomyers, nether axe ye ony thing of fals dyuynours, that ye be defoulid bi hem; Y am youre Lord God.
32 You must rise before the gray-headed person and honor the presence of an old man. You must fear your God. I am Yahweh.
Rise thou bifor an hoor heed, and onoure thou the persoone of an eld man, and drede thou thi Lord God; Y am the Lord.
33 If a foreigner lives among you in your land, you must not do him any wrong.
If a comelyng enhabitith in youre lond, and dwellith among you, dispise ye not hym,
34 The foreigner who lives with you must be to you like the native-born Israelite who lives among you, and you must love him as yourself, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.
but be he among you as a man borun in the lond; and ye schulen loue hym as you silf, for also ye weren comelyngis in the lond of Egipt; Y am youre Lord God.
35 Do not use false measures when measuring length, weight, or quantity.
Nyle ye do ony wickid thing in doom, in reule, in weiyte, and in mesure; the balance be iust,
36 You must use just scales, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
and the weiytis be euene, the buschel be iust, and the sextarie be euene; Y am youre Lord God, that ladde you out of the lond of Egipt.
37 You must obey all my decrees and all my laws, and do them. I am Yahweh.'”
Kepe ye alle myn heestis, and alle domes, and do ye tho; Y am the Lord.
