< Leviticus 19 >

1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Loquere ad omnem cœtum filiorum Israel, et dices ad eos: Sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum, Dominus Deus vester.
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Eternal your God am holy.
3 Unusquisque patrem suum, et matrem suam timeat. Sabbata mea custodite. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Ye shall fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am the Lord your God.
4 Nolite converti ad idola, nec deos conflatiles faciatis vobis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Ye shall not turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
5 Si immolaveritis hostiam pacificorum Domino ut sit placabilis,
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.
6 eo die quo fuerit immolata, comedetis eam, et die altero: quidquid autem residuum fuerit in diem tertium, igne comburetis.
On the same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
7 Si quis post biduum comederit ex ea, profanus erit, et impietatis reus:
And if the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.
8 portabitque iniquitatem suam, quia sanctum Domini polluit, et peribit anima illa de populo suo.
And whoever 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.
9 Cumque messueris segetes terræ tuæ, non tondebis usque ad solum superficiem terræ: nec remanentes spicas colliges.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather up the gleanings of thy harvest.
10 Neque in vinea tua racemos et grana decidentia congregabis, sed pauperibus et peregrinis carpenda dimittes. ego Dominus Deus vester.
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, and the single grapes that drop in thy vineyard shalt thou not gather up; for the poor and the stranger shalt thou leave them: I am the Lord your God.
11 Non facietis furtum. Non mentiemini, nec decipiet unusquisque proximum suum.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor lie one to another.
12 Non periurabis in nomine meo, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. ego Dominus.
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and thou shalt not thus profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
13 Non facies calumniam proximo tuo, nec vi opprimes eum. Non morabitur opus mercenarii tui apud te usque mane.
Thou shalt not withhold any thing from thy neighbor, nor rob him: there shall not abide with thee the wages of him that is hired, through the night until morning.
14 Non maledices surdo, nec coram cæco pones offendiculum: sed timebis Dominum Deum tuum, quia ego sum Dominus.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.
15 Non facies quod iniquum est, nec iniuste iudicabis. Non consideres personam pauperis, nec honores vultum potentis. Iuste iudica proximo tuo.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
16 Non eris criminator, nec susurro in populo. Non stabis contra sanguinem proximi tui. ego Dominus.
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand [idly] by the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord.
17 Non oderis fratrem tuum in corde tuo, sed publice argue eum, ne habeas super illo peccatum.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin on account of him.
18 Non quæras ultionem, nec memor eris iniuriæ civium tuorum. Diliges amicum tuum sicut teipsum. ego Dominus.
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.
19 Leges meas custodite. Iumentum tuum non facies coire cum alterius generis animantibus. Agrum tuum non seres diverso semine. Veste, quæ ex duobus texta est, non indueris.
My statutes shall ye keep; thy cattle shalt thou not let gender with a diverse kind; thy field shalt thou not sow with mingled seeds; and a garment of mingled kinds, of linen and woollen, shall not come upon thee.
20 Homo si dormierit cum muliere coitu seminis, quæ sit ancilla etiam nubilis, et tamen pretio non redempta, nec libertate donata: vapulabunt ambo, et non morientur, quia non fuit libera.
And if a man lie carnally with a woman, that is a bond-maid, betrothed to a man, but who hath neither been redeemed, nor hath her freedom been given her: there shall a scourging be decreed; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 pro delicto autem suo offeret Domino ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii arietem:
And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: a ram for a trespass-offering.
22 orabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato eius coram Domino, et repropitiabitur ei, dimitteturque peccatum.
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 he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath committed.
23 Quando ingressi fueritis terram, et plantaveritis in ea ligna pomifera, auferetis præputia eorum: poma, quæ germinant, immunda erunt vobis, nec edetis ex eis.
And when ye come into the land, and plant any kind of tree bearing edible fruit, then shall ye count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you, it shall not be eaten.
24 Quarto autem anno omnis fructus eorum sanctificabitur laudabilis Domino.
But in the fourth year shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto the Lord.
25 Quinto autem anno comedetis fructus, congregantes poma quæ proferunt. ego Dominus Deus vester.
And in the fifth year shall ye eat of its fruit, in order that it may increase unto you its productiveness: I am the Lord your God.
26 Non comedetis cum sanguine. Non augurabimini, nec observabitis somnia.
Ye shall not eat upon the blood; nor shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 Neque in rotundum attondebitis comam: nec radetis barbam.
Ye shall not cut round the corners [of the hair] of your head, neither shalt thou destroy the corners of thy beard.
28 Et super mortuo non incidetis carnem vestram, neque figuras aliquas, aut stigmata facietis vobis. ego Dominus.
And for the dead shall ye not make any incision in your flesh; and any etched-in writing shall you not fix on yourselves: I am the Lord.
29 Ne prostituas filiam tuam, ne contaminetur terra, et impleatur piaculo.
Do not profane thy daughter, to cause her to be a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of incest.
30 Sabbata mea custodite, et Sanctuarium meum metuite. ego Dominus.
My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.
31 Non declinetis ad magos, nec ab ariolis aliquid sciscitemini, ut polluamini per eos. ego Dominus Deus vester.
Turn not unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards; seek [them] not, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
32 Coram cano capite consurge, et honora personam senis: et time Dominum Deum tuum. ego sum Dominus.
Before the hoary head shalt thou rise up, and honor the face of the old man; and thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.
33 Si habitaverit advena in terra vestra, et moratus fuerit inter vos, non exprobretis ei:
And if a stranger sojourn with thee, in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 sed sit inter vos quasi indigena: et diligetis eum quasi vosmetipsos: fuistis enim et vos advenæ in Terra Ægypti. ego Dominus Deus vester.
As one born in the land among you, shall be unto you the stranger that sojourneth with you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 Nolite facere iniquum aliquid in iudicio, in regula, in pondere, in mensura.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36 Statera iusta, et æqua sint pondera, iustus modius, æquusque sextarius. ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de Terra Ægypti.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
37 Custodite omnia præcepta mea, et universa iudicia, et facite ea. ego Dominus.
Ye shall therefore observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord.
