Leviticus 20

1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 haec loqueris filiis Israhel homo de filiis Israhel et de advenis qui habitant in Israhel si quis dederit de semine suo idolo Moloch morte moriatur populus terrae lapidabit eum

You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.

3 et ego ponam faciem meam contra illum succidamque eum de medio populi sui eo quod dederit de semine suo Moloch et contaminaverit sanctuarium meum ac polluerit nomen sanctum meum

And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.

4 quod si neglegens populus terrae et quasi parvipendens imperium meum dimiserit hominem qui dederit de semine suo Moloch nec voluerit eum occidere

And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;

5 ponam faciem meam super hominem illum et cognationem eius succidamque et ipsum et omnes qui consenserunt ei ut fornicarentur cum Moloch de medio populi sui

then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.

6 anima quae declinaverit ad magos et ariolos et fornicata fuerit cum eis ponam faciem meam contra eam et interficiam illam de medio populi sui

And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.

7 sanctificamini et estote sancti quia ego Dominus Deus vester

And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

8 custodite praecepta mea et facite ea ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos

And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.

9 qui maledixerit patri suo et matri morte moriatur patri matrique maledixit sanguis eius sit super eum

Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.

10 si moechatus quis fuerit cum uxore alterius et adulterium perpetrarit cum coniuge proximi sui morte moriantur et moechus et adultera

Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.

11 qui dormierit cum noverca sua et revelaverit ignominiam patris sui morte moriantur ambo sanguis eorum sit super eos

And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.

12 si quis dormierit cum nuru sua uterque moriantur quia scelus operati sunt sanguis eorum sit super eos

And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.

13 qui dormierit cum masculo coitu femineo uterque operati sunt nefas morte moriantur sit sanguis eorum super eos

And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.

14 qui supra uxorem filiam duxerit matrem eius scelus operatus est vivus ardebit cum eis nec permanebit tantum nefas in medio vestri

Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.

15 qui cum iumento et pecore coierit morte moriatur pecus quoque occidite

And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.

16 mulier quae subcubuerit cuilibet iumento simul interficietur cum eo sanguis eorum sit super eos

And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.

17 qui acceperit sororem suam filiam patris sui vel filiam matris suae et viderit turpitudinem eius illaque conspexerit fratris ignominiam nefariam rem operati sunt occidentur in conspectu populi sui eo quod turpitudinem suam mutuo revelarint et portabunt iniquitatem suam

Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.

18 qui coierit cum muliere in fluxu menstruo et revelaverit turpitudinem eius ipsaque aperuerit fontem sanguinis sui interficientur ambo de medio populi sui

And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.

19 turpitudinem materterae tuae et amitae tuae non discoperies qui hoc fecerit ignominiam carnis suae nudavit portabunt ambo iniquitatem suam

And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.

20 qui coierit cum uxore patrui vel avunculi sui et revelaverit ignominiam cognationis suae portabunt ambo peccatum suum absque liberis morientur

Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.

21 qui duxerit uxorem fratris sui rem facit inlicitam turpitudinem fratris sui revelavit absque filiis erunt

Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.

22 custodite leges meas atque iudicia et facite ea ne et vos evomat terra quam intraturi estis et habitaturi

And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgments; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.

23 nolite ambulare in legitimis nationum quas ego expulsurus sum ante vos omnia enim haec fecerunt et abominatus sum eos

And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:

24 vobis autem loquor possidete terram eorum quam dabo vobis in hereditatem terram fluentem lacte et melle ego Dominus Deus vester qui separavi vos a ceteris populis

and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.

25 separate ergo et vos iumentum mundum ab inmundo et avem mundam ab inmunda ne polluatis animas vestras in pecore et in avibus et cunctis quae moventur in terra et quae vobis ostendi esse polluta

And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.

26 eritis sancti mihi quia sanctus ego sum Dominus et separavi vos a ceteris populis ut essetis mei

And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.

27 vir sive mulier in quibus pythonicus vel divinationis fuerit spiritus morte moriantur lapidibus obruent eos sanguis eorum sit super illos

And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
