< Leviticus 20 >
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華對摩西說:
2 “Say to the people of Israel, 'Anyone among the people of Israel, or any foreigner who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech, must certainly be put to death. The people in the land must 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 man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given his child to Molech, so as to defile my holy place and profane 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 close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they do not 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 myself will set my face against that man and his clan, and I will cut him off and everyone else who prostitutes himself in order to play the harlot with Molech.
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 who turns to those who talk with the dead, or to those who talk with spirits so as to prostitute themselves with them, I will set my face against that person; I 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 Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
所以你們要自潔成聖,因為我是耶和華-你們的上帝。
8 You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as holy.
你們要謹守遵行我的律例;我是叫你們成聖的耶和華。
9 Everyone who curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, so he is guilty and deserves to die.
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。
10 The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, that is, anyone who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife—the adulterer and the adulteress must both certainly be put to death.
「與鄰舍之妻行淫的,姦夫淫婦都必治死。
11 If a man lies with his father's wife, he uncovers his father's nakedness. Both the son and his father's wife must certainly be put to death. Their blood is upon them.
與繼母行淫的,就是羞辱了他父親,總要把他們二人治死,罪要歸到他們身上。
12 If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must certainly be put to death. They have committed perversion. They are guilty and deserve to die.

13 If a man sleeps with another man, as with a woman, both of them have done something detestable. They must surely be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
人若與男人苟合,像與女人一樣,他們二人行了可憎的事,總要把他們治死,罪要歸到他們身上。
14 If a man marries a woman and also marries her mother, this is wickedness. They must be burned, both he and the women, so that there will be no wickedness among you.
人若娶妻,並娶其母,便是大惡,要把這三人用火焚燒,使你們中間免去大惡。
15 If a man sleeps with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
人若與獸淫合,總要治死他,也要殺那獸。
16 If a woman approaches any animal to sleep with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must certainly be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
女人若與獸親近,與牠淫合,你要殺那女人和那獸,總要把他們治死,罪要歸到他們身上。
17 If a man sleeps with his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and he uncovers her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They must be cut off from the presence of their people, because he has slept with his sister. He must carry his guilt.
「人若娶他的姊妹,無論是異母同父的,是異父同母的,彼此見了下體,這是可恥的事;他們必在本民的眼前被剪除。他露了姊妹的下體,必擔當自己的罪孽。
18 If a man sleeps with a woman during her menstrual period and has slept with her, he has uncovered the flow of her blood, the source of her blood. Both the man and woman must be cut off from among their people.
婦人有月經,若與她同房,露了她的下體,就是露了婦人的血源,婦人也露了自己的血源,二人必從民中剪除。
19 You must not sleep with your mother's sister, or with your father's sister, because you would disgrace your close relative. You must carry your own guilt.
不可露姨母或是姑母的下體,這是露了骨肉之親的下體;二人必擔當自己的罪孽。
20 If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin, and they will die without children.
人若與伯叔之妻同房,就羞辱了他的伯叔;二人要擔當自己的罪,必無子女而死。
21 If a man marries his brother's wife while his brother is still living, that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother, and I will take away from their children any property they may have inherited from their parents.
人若娶弟兄之妻,這本是污穢的事,羞辱了他的弟兄;二人必無子女。
22 You must therefore keep all my statutes and all my decrees; you must obey them so that the land into which I am bringing you to live will not vomit you up.
「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。
23 You must not walk in the customs of the nations that I will drive out before you, for they have done all these things, and I detest them.
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。
24 I said to you, “You will inherit their land; I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
但我對你們說過,你們要承受他們的地,就是我要賜給你們為業、流奶與蜜之地。我是耶和華-你們的上帝,使你們與萬民有分別的。
25 You must therefore distinguish between the clean animals and the unclean, and between the unclean birds and the clean. You must not defile yourselves with unclean animals or birds or with any creature that crawls along the ground, which I have separated as unclean from you.
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。
26 You must be holy, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, for you belong to me.
你們要歸我為聖,因為我-耶和華是聖的,並叫你們與萬民有分別,使你們作我的民。
27 A man or a woman who talks with the dead or who talks with spirits must certainly be put to death. The people must stone them with stones. They are guilty and deserve to die.'”
「無論男女,是交鬼的或行巫術的,總要治死他們。人必用石頭把他們打死,罪要歸到他們身上。」
