Leviticus 18
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester:
Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, I am Jehovah your God.
3 iuxta consuetudinem Terræ Ægypti, in qua habitastis, non facietis: et iuxta morem Regionis Chanaan, ad quam ego introducturus sum vos, non agetis, nec in legitimis eorum ambulabitis.
Ye shall not do after the doings of the land of Egypt, in which ye dwelt, and ye shall not do after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, nor shall ye walk in their statutes.
4 Facietis iudicia mea, et præcepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. ego Dominus Deus vester.
Ye shall do my ordinances, and ye shall keep my statutes, to walk therein. I am Jehovah your God.
5 Custodite leges meas atque iudicia, quæ faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Jehovah.
6 Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem eius. Ego Dominus.
None of you shall approach to any who are near of kin to him, to uncover nakedness. I am Jehovah.
7 Turpitudinem patris tui turpitudinem matris tuæ non discooperies: mater tua est. non revelabis turpitudinem eius.
The nakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, thou shall not uncover. She is thy mother. Thou shall not uncover her nakedness,

The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shall not uncover.
10 Turpitudinem filiæ filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis: quia turpitudo tua est.
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shall not uncover, for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 Turpitudinem filiæ uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo, et est soror tua, non revelabis.

Thou shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. Thou shall not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is iniquity.

24 Nec polluamini in omnibus his, quibus contaminatæ sunt universæ gentes, quas ego eiiciam ante conspectum vestrum,
Do not defile ye yourselves in any of these things. For in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you,
25 et quibus polluta est terra: cuius ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos.
and the land is defiled. Therefore I visit the iniquity of it upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
26 Custodite legitima mea atque iudicia, et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinantur apud vos.
Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourns among you,
27 Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolæ terræ qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.
(for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and the land is defiled),
28 Cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat, cum paria feceritis, sicut evomuit gentem, quæ fuit ante vos.
that the land not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Omnis anima, quæ fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.
For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere quæ fecerunt hi qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Therefore ye shall keep my charge, that ye not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that ye not defile yourselves in it. I am Jehovah your God.
