Leviticus 19

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be 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 Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father, and keep my sabbaths: 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 Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves 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 if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.

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

6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught shall remain until the third day, it shall be 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 And if it shall be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; 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 [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among 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 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

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 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: 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 steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

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

12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane 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 defraud thy neighbor, neither rob [him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until 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 deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but shalt fear 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

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 go up and down [as] a tale-bearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; 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 thy heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him.

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 avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; 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 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle engender with a diverse kind: Thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon 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 And whoever lieth carnally with a woman that [is] a bond-maid betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged: they shall not be put to death, because she was not 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 his trespass-offering to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass-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 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

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 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food; then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of.

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 year all its fruit shall be holy to praise the LORD [with].

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

25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: 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 [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

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

27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

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

28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon 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 Do not prostitute thy daughter to cause her to be a harlot: lest the land should fall to lewdness, and the land become full of wickedness.

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 keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.

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

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, 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 up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and fear 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 shall sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not oppress him.

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

34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be to you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment, in weight, in measure of length or of capacity.

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

36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land 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 observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.

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