Leviticus 19
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Loquere ad omnem cœtum filiorum Israël, et dices ad eos: Sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum, Dominus Deus vester.
“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, the LORD your God, am holy.
3 Unusquisque patrem suum, et matrem suam timeat. Sabbata mea custodite. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
“‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.
4 Nolite converti ad idola, nec deos conflatiles faciatis vobis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
“‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.
5 Si immolaveritis hostiam pacificorum Domino, ut sit placabilis,
“‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
6 eo die quo fuerit immolata, comedetis eam, et die altero: quidquid autem residuum fuerit in diem tertium, igne comburetis.
It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.
7 Si quis post biduum comederit ex ea, profanus erit, et impietatis reus:
If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
8 portabitque iniquitatem suam, quia sanctum Domini polluit, et peribit anima illa de populo suo.
but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 Cumque messueris segetes terræ tuæ, non tondebis usque ad solum superficiem terræ, nec remanentes spicas colliges,
“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 neque in vinea tua racemos et grana decidentia congregabis: sed pauperibus et peregrinis carpenda dimittes. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.
11 Non facietis furtum. Non mentiemini, nec decipiet unusquisque proximum suum.
“‘You shall not steal. “‘You shall not lie. “‘You shall not deceive one another.
12 Non perjurabis in nomine meo, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.
“‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
13 Non facies calumniam proximo tuo nec vi opprimes eum. Non morabitur opus mercenarii tui apud te usque mane.
“‘You shall not oppress your neighbour, nor rob him. “‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
14 Non maledices surdo, nec coram cæco pones offendiculum: sed timebis Dominum Deum tuum, quia ego sum Dominus.
“‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.
15 Non facies quod iniquum est, nec injuste judicabis. Non consideres personam pauperis, nec honores vultum potentis. Juste judica proximo tuo.
“‘You shall do no injustice in judgement. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favouritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbour in righteousness.
16 Non eris criminator, nec susurro in populo. Non stabis contra sanguinem proximi tui. Ego Dominus.
“‘You shall not go around as a slanderer amongst your people. “‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbour. I am the LORD.
17 Non oderis fratrem tuum in corde tuo, sed publice argue eum, ne habeas super illo peccatum.
“‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbour, and not bear sin because of him.
18 Non quæras ultionem, nec memor eris injuriæ civium tuorum. Diliges amicum tuum sicut teipsum. Ego Dominus.
“‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbour as yourself. I am the LORD.
19 Leges meas custodite. Jumentum tuum non facies coire cum alterius generis animantibus. Agrum tuum non seres diverso semine. Veste, quæ ex duobus texta est, non indueris.
“‘You shall keep my statutes. “‘You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals. “‘You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; “‘Don’t wear a garment made of two kinds of material.
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.
“‘If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 Pro delicto autem suo offeret Domino ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii arietem:
He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
22 orabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato ejus coram Domino, et repropitiabitur ei, dimitteturque peccatum.
The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
23 Quando ingressi fueritis terram, et plantaveritis in ea ligna pomifera, auferetis præputia eorum: poma, quæ germinant, immunda erunt vobis, nec edetis ex eis.
“‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. For three years it shall be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.
24 Quarto autem anno omnis fructus eorum sanctificabitur, laudabilis Domino.
But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to the LORD.
25 Quinto autem anno comedetis fructus, congregantes poma, quæ proferunt. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you. I am the LORD your God.
26 Non comedetis cum sanguine. Non augurabimini, nec observabitis somnia.
“‘You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it. You shall not use enchantments, nor practise sorcery.
27 Neque in rotundum attondebitis comam, nec radetis barbam.
“‘You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your head or clip off the edge of your beard.
28 Et super mortuo non incidetis carnem vestram, neque figuras aliquas aut stigmata facietis vobis. Ego Dominus.
“‘You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. I am the LORD.
29 Ne prostituas filiam tuam, ne contaminetur terra et impleatur piaculo.
“‘Don’t profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 Sabbata mea custodite, et sanctuarium meum metuite. Ego Dominus.
“‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am the LORD.
31 Non declinetis ad magos, nec ab ariolis aliquid sciscitemini, ut polluamini per eos. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
“‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, 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.
“‘You shall rise up before the grey head and honour the face of the elderly; and you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.
33 Si habitaverit advena in terra vestra, et moratus fuerit inter vos, non exprobretis ei:
“‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
34 sed sit inter vos quasi indigena, et diligetis eum quasi vosmetipsos: fuistis enim et vos advenæ in terra Ægypti. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born amongst you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
35 Nolite facere iniquum aliquid in judicio, in regula, in pondere, in mensura.
“‘You shall do no unrighteousness in judgement, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.
36 Statera justa, et æqua sint pondera, justus modius, æquusque sextarius. Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti.
You shall have just balances, just weights, a just efah, and a just hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Custodite omnia præcepta mea, et universa judicia, et facite ea. Ego Dominus.
“‘You shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them. I am the LORD.’”
