Leviticus 19
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Loquere ad omnem coetum filiorum Israel, et dices ad eos: Sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum, Dominus Deus vester.
Say to all the people of Israel, You are to 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.
Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
4 Nolite converti ad idola, nec deos conflatiles faciatis vobis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
5 Si immolaveritis hostiam pacificorum Domino ut sit placabilis,
And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.
6 eo die quo fuerit immolata, comedetis eam, et die altero: quidquid autem residuum fuerit in diem tertium, igne comburetis.
Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.
7 Si quis post biduum comederit ex ea, profanus erit, et impietatis reus:
If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.
8 portabitque iniquitatem suam, quia sanctum Domini polluit, et peribit anima illa de populo suo.
And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.
9 Cumque messueris segetes terrae tuae, non tondebis usque ad solum superficiem terrae: nec remanentes spicas colliges.
And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.
10 Neque in vinea tua racemos et grana decidentia congregabis, sed pauperibus et peregrinis carpenda dimittes. ego Dominus Deus vester.
And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.
11 Non facietis furtum. Non mentiemini, nec decipiet unusquisque proximum suum.
Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.
12 Non periurabis in nomine meo, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. ego Dominus.
And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on 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.
Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.
14 Non maledices surdo, nec coram caeco pones offendiculum: sed timebis Dominum Deum tuum, quia ego sum Dominus.
Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: 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.
Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.
16 Non eris criminator, nec susurro in populo. Non stabis contra sanguinem proximi tui. ego Dominus.
Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.
17 Non oderis fratrem tuum in corde tuo, sed publice argue eum, ne habeas super illo peccatum.
Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.
18 Non quaeras ultionem, nec memor eris iniuriae civium tuorum. Diliges amicum tuum sicut teipsum. ego Dominus.
Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.
19 Leges meas custodite. Iumentum tuum non facies coire cum alterius generis animantibus. Agrum tuum non seres diverso semine. Veste, quae ex duobus texta est, non indueris.
Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.
20 Homo si dormierit cum muliere coitu seminis, quae sit ancilla etiam nobilis, et tamen pretio non redempta, nec libertate donata: vapulabunt ambo, et non morientur, quia non fuit libera.
If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.
21 pro delicto autem suo offeret Domino ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii arietem:
Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.
22 orabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato eius coram Domino, et repropitiabitur ei, dimitteturque peccatum.
And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.
23 Quando ingressi fueritis terram, et plantaveritis in ea ligna pomifera, auferetis praeputia eorum: poma, quae germinant, immunda erunt vobis, nec edetis ex eis.
And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.
24 Quarto autem anno omnis fructus eorum sanctificabitur laudabilis Domino.
And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.
25 Quinto autem anno comedetis fructus, congregantes poma quae proferunt. ego Dominus Deus vester.
But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.
26 Non comedetis cum sanguine. Non augurabimini, nec observabitis somnia.
Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.
27 Neque in rotundum attondebitis comam: nec radetis barbam.
The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.
28 Et super mortuo non incidetis carnem vestram, neque figuras aliquas, aut stigmata facietis vobis. ego Dominus.
You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.
29 Ne prostituas filiam tuam, ne contaminetur terra, et impleatur piaculo.
Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.
30 Sabbata mea custodite, et Sanctuarium meum metuite. ego Dominus.
Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.
31 Non declinetis ad magos, nec ab ariolis aliquid sciscitemini, ut polluamini per eos. ego Dominus Deus vester.
Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
32 Coram cano capite consurge, et honora personam senis: et time Dominum Deum tuum. ego sum Dominus.
Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.
33 Si habitaverit advena in terra vestra, et moratus fuerit inter vos, non exprobretis ei:
And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;
34 sed sit inter vos quasi indigena: et diligetis eum quasi vosmetipsos: fuistis enim et vos advenae in Terra Aegypti. ego Dominus Deus vester.
Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 Nolite facere iniquum aliquid in iudicio, in regula, in pondere, in mensura.
Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.
36 Statera iusta, et aequa sint pondera, iustus modius, aequusque sextarius. ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de Terra Aegypti.
Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;
37 Custodite omnia praecepta mea, et universa iudicia, et facite ea. ego Dominus.
You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.
