Leviticus 18
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester:
Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.
3 iuxta consuetudinem Terrae Aegypti, in qua habitastis, non facietis: et iuxta morem Regionis Chanaan, ad quam ego introducturus sum vos, non agetis, nec in legitimis eorum ambulabitis.
You shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which you lived: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, you shall not do; and you shall not walk in their ordinances.
4 Facietis iudicia mea, et praecepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. ego Dominus Deus vester.
You shall observe my judgements, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
5 Custodite leges meas atque iudicia, quae faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.
So you shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgements, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
6 Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem eius. Ego Dominus.
No man shall draw near to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
7 Turpitudinem patris tui et turpitudinem matris tuae non discooperies: mater tua est. non revelabis turpitudinem eius.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, for she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 Turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discooperies: turpitudo enim patris tui est.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness.
9 Turpitudinem sororis tuae ex patre, sive ex matre, quae domi vel foris genita est, non revelabis.
The nakedness of your sister by your father or by your mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10 Turpitudinem filiae filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis: quia turpitudo tua est.
The nakedness of your son's daughter, or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; because it is your nakedness.
11 Turpitudinem filiae uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo, et est soror tua, non revelabis.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of your father's wife; she is your sister by the same father: you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 Turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discooperies: quia caro est patris tui.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, for she is near akin to your father.
13 Turpitudinem sororis matris tuae non revelabis, eo quod caro sit matris tuae.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is near akin to your mother.
14 Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis, nec accedes ad uxorem eius, quae tibi affinitate coniungitur.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, and you shall not go in to his wife; for she is your relation.
15 Turpitudinem nurus tuae non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est, nec discooperies ignominiam eius.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 Turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis: quia turpitudo fratris tui est.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
17 Turpitudinem uxoris tuae et filiae eius non revelabis. Filiam filii eius, et filiam filiae illius non sumes, ut reveles ignominiam eius: quia caro illius sunt, et talis coitus incestus est.
The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shall you not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shall you not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are your kinswomen: it is impiety.
18 Sororem uxoris tuae in pellicatum illius non accipies, nec revelabis turpitudinem eius adhuc illa vivente.
You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.
19 Ad mulierem, quae patitur menstrua, non accedes, nec revelabis foeditatem eius.
And you shall not go in to a woman under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness.
20 Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis, nec seminis commixtione maculaberis.
And you shall not lie with your neighbour's wife, to defile yourself with her.
21 De semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.
And you shall not give of your seed to serve a ruler; and you shall not profane my holy name; I [am] the Lord.
22 Cum masculo non commiscearis coitu femineo, quia abominatio est.
And you shall not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
23 Cum omni pecore non coibis, nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet iumento, nec miscebitur ei: quia scelus est.
Neither shall you lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
24 Nec polluamini in omnibus his, quibus contaminatae sunt universae gentes, quas ego eiiciam ante conspectum vestrum,
Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
25 et quibus polluta est terra: cuius ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos.
and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
26 Custodite legitima mea atque iudicia, et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinantur apud vos.
And you shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
27 Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolae terrae qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.
(for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )
28 Cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat, cum paria feceritis, sicut evomuit gentem, quae fuit ante vos.
and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
29 Omnis anima, quae fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.
For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from amongst their people.
30 Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere quae fecerunt hi qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
And you shall keep mine ordinances, that you may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and you shall not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your God.
