Leviticus 18
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am YHWH your Elohim.
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.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
4 Facietis iudicia mea, et præcepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. ego Dominus Deus vester.
Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am YHWH your Elohim.
5 Custodite leges meas atque iudicia, quæ faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am YHWH.
6 Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem eius. Ego Dominus.
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am YHWH.
7 Turpitudinem patris tui turpitudinem matris tuæ non discooperies: mater tua est. non revelabis turpitudinem eius.
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 Turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discooperies: turpitudo enim patris tui est.
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9 Turpitudinem sororis tuæ ex patre, sive ex matre, quæ domi vel foris genita est, non revelabis.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt 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 shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 Turpitudinem filiæ uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo, et est soror tua, non revelabis.
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discooperies: quia caro est patris tui.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13 Turpitudinem sororis matris tuæ non revelabis, eo quod caro sit matris tuæ.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis, nec accedes ad uxorem eius, quæ tibi affinitate coniungitur.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Turpitudinem nurus tuæ non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est, nec discooperies ignominiam eius.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis: quia turpitudo fratris tui est.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17 Turpitudinem uxoris tuæ et filiæ eius non revelabis. Filiam filii eius, et filiam filiæ illius non sumes, ut reveles ignominiam eius: quia caro illius sunt, et talis coitus incestus est.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Sororem uxoris tuæ in pellicatum illius non accipies, nec revelabis turpitudinem eius adhuc illa vivente.
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Ad mulierem, quæ patitur menstrua, non accedes, nec revelabis fœditatem eius.
Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis, nec seminis commistione maculaberis.
Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
21 De semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim: I am YHWH.
22 Cum masculo non commiscearis coitu femineo, quia abominatio est.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Cum omni pecore non coibis, nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet iumento, nec miscebitur ei: quia scelus est.
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Nec polluamini in omnibus his, quibus contaminatæ sunt universæ gentes, quas ego eiiciam ante conspectum vestrum,
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 et quibus polluta est terra: cuius ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos.
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Custodite legitima mea atque iudicia, et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinantur apud vos.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolæ terræ qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which 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 spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
29 Omnis anima, quæ fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit 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 shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am YHWH your Elohim.
