< Leviticus 19 >

1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
2 Loquere ad omnem coetum filiorum Israel, et dices ad eos: Sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum, Dominus Deus vester.
Speak unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel and thou shalt say unto them—Holy, shall ye be, —For holy, am I—Yahweh—your God
3 Unusquisque patrem suum, et matrem suam timeat. Sabbata mea custodite. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Ye shall, every one, revere, his father and his mother, And my sabbaths, shall ye observe, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
4 Nolite converti ad idola, nec deos conflatiles faciatis vobis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Do not turn unto things of nought, And, molten gods, shall ye not make to yourselves, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
5 Si immolaveritis hostiam pacificorum Domino ut sit placabilis,
And when ye would offer a peace-offering unto Yahweh, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.
6 eo die quo fuerit immolata, comedetis eam, et die altero: quidquid autem residuum fuerit in diem tertium, igne comburetis.
On the day, ye offer it, shall it be eaten, and on the morrow, —but, that which remaineth until the third day, in fire, shall be consumed.
7 Si quis post biduum comederit ex ea, profanus erit, et impietatis reus:
And, if it, be eaten, on the third day, unclean, it is it shall not be accepted,
8 portabitque iniquitatem suam, quia sanctum Domini polluit, et peribit anima illa de populo suo.
But he that eateth it, his iniquity, shall bear, because that which had been hallowed unto Yahweh, hath he profaned, —so then that person shall be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
9 Cumque messueris segetes terrae tuae, non tondebis usque ad solum superficiem terrae: nec remanentes spicas colliges.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly clear the border of thy field, in reaping, —nor shalt thou gather up the gleaning of thy harvest.
10 Neque in vinea tua racemos et grana decidentia congregabis, sed pauperibus et peregrinis carpenda dimittes. ego Dominus Deus vester.
And, thy vineyard, shalt thou not go over again, nor gather, every single grape: for the poor and for the sojourner, shalt thou leave them, I—Yahweh, am your God.
11 Non facietis furtum. Non mentiemini, nec decipiet unusquisque proximum suum.
Ye shall not steal, —nor deceive nor lie one man to another;
12 Non periurabis in nomine meo, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. ego Dominus.
Nor swear by my name falsely, —And so profane the name of thy God: I, am Yahweh.
13 Non facies calumniam proximo tuo, nec vi opprimes eum. Non morabitur opus mercenarii tui apud te usque mane.
Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour nor rob [him], —The wages of him that is hired shall not tarry with thee, until the morning.
14 Non maledices surdo, nec coram caeco pones offendiculum: sed timebis Dominum Deum tuum, quia ego sum Dominus.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, Nor, before the blind, place a stumbling-block, —So shalt thou stand in awe of thy God I, am Yahweh.
15 Non facies quod iniquum est, nec iniuste iudicabis. Non consideres personam pauperis, nec honores vultum potentis. Iuste iudica proximo tuo.
Ye shall not act perversely in giving judgment, Thou shalt neither respect the person of the poor, Nor prefer the person of the great, —In righteousness, shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Non eris criminator, nec susurro in populo. Non stabis contra sanguinem proximi tui. ego Dominus.
Thou shalt not go about talebearing, among thy people Thou shalt not stand by, over the blood of thy neighbour: I, am Yahweh.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, —Thou shalt, faithfully reprove, thy neighbour, and not countenance him in sin:
18 Non quaeras ultionem, nec memor eris iniuriae civium tuorum. Diliges amicum tuum sicut teipsum. ego Dominus.
Thou shalt not take vengeance neither shalt thou cherish anger against the sons of thy people, So shalt thou love thy neighbour as thyself, —I, am Yahweh.
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.
My statutes, shall ye observe, Thy beasts, shalt thou not cause to breed in two kinds, Thy field, shalt thou not sow with two sorts of seed, —And a garment woven of diverse threads, shalt thou not suffer to come upon thee.
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.
And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, she being a bondmaid, acquired for a husband, and neither, redeemed, nor, freedom, given her, inquisition, shall be made they shall not be put to death, because she was not free;
21 pro delicto autem suo offeret Domino ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii arietem:
but he shall bring in his guilt-bearer unto Yahweh, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, —even a ram as a guilt-bearer;
22 orabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato eius coram Domino, et repropitiabitur ei, dimitteturque peccatum.
and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over him with the guilt-bearing ram before Yahweh, on account of his sin which he hath committed, —so shall he have forgiveness, from his sin which he hath committed.
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 ye come into the land, and plant any manner of fruit-tree, then shall ye count as uncircumcised the fruit thereof, three years, shall it be to you as if unclean, it shall not be eaten.
24 Quarto autem anno omnis fructus eorum sanctificabitur laudabilis Domino.
But, in the fourth year, all the fruit thereof shall be hallowed for a festival of thanksgiving unto Yahweh.
25 Quinto autem anno comedetis fructus, congregantes poma quae proferunt. ego Dominus Deus vester.
And in the fifth year, shall ye eat the fruit thereof, that it may enrich you with its increase, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
26 Non comedetis cum sanguine. Non augurabimini, nec observabitis somnia.
Ye shall eat nothing with the blood thereof, —Ye shall not practise divination neither shall ye use magic.
27 Neque in rotundum attondebitis comam: nec radetis barbam.
Ye shall not shave in a circle around your head, —nor shalt thou disfigure the fringe of thy beard.
28 Et super mortuo non incidetis carnem vestram, neque figuras aliquas, aut stigmata facietis vobis. ego Dominus.
Cuttings for a dead person, shall ye not make in your flesh. And punctures in your persons, shall ye not print, —I, am Yahweh.
29 Ne prostituas filiam tuam, ne contaminetur terra, et impleatur piaculo.

Do not turn unto mediums, Nor, for oracles, make search, To render yourselves unclean with them, I—Yahweh, am your God.
32 Coram cano capite consurge, et honora personam senis: et time Dominum Deum tuum. ego sum Dominus.
Before a hoary head, shalt thou rise up, And shalt honour the presence of an elder, —So shalt thou stand in awe of thy God—I, am Yahweh.
33 Si habitaverit advena in terra vestra, et moratus fuerit inter vos, non exprobretis ei:
And, when there sojourneth with thee a sojourner in your land, ye shall not oppress 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.
As one home born from among yourselves, shall be unto you the sojourner who sojourneth with you, So shalt thou love him as thyself, For, sojourners, became ye, in the land of Egypt, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
35 Nolite facere iniquum aliquid in iudicio, in regula, in pondere, in mensura.
Ye shall not act perversely in giving judgment, —in measures of extent, in weights in measures of capacity:
36 Statera iusta, et aequa sint pondera, iustus modius, aequusque sextarius. ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de Terra Aegypti.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah and a just hin, shall ye have, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
37 Custodite omnia praecepta mea, et universa iudicia, et facite ea. ego Dominus.
Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations and do them, —I, am Yahweh.
