1The LORD said to Moses,
1Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.
2Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester:
3You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.
3juxta consuetudinem terræ Ægypti, in qua habitastis, non facietis: et juxta morem regionis Chanaan, ad quam ego introducturus sum vos, non agetis, nec in legitimis eorum ambulabitis.
4You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.
4Facietis judicia mea, et præcepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
5You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am the LORD.
5Custodite leges meas atque judicia, quæ faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.
6“‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
6Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem ejus. Ego Dominus.
7“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
7Turpitudinem patris tui et turpitudinem matris tuæ non discooperies: mater tua est: non revelabis turpitudinem ejus.
8“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
8Turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discooperies: turpitudo enim patris tui est.
9“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.
9Turpitudinem sororis tuæ ex patre sive ex matre, quæ domi vel foris genita est, non revelabis.
10“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness; for theirs is your own nakedness.
10Turpitudinem filiæ filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis: quia turpitudo tua est.
11“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
11Turpitudinem filiæ uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo, et est soror tua, non revelabis.
12“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.
12Turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discooperies: quia caro est patris tui.
13“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
13Turpitudinem sororis matris tuæ non revelabis, eo quod caro sit matris tuæ.
14“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.
14Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis, nec accedes ad uxorem ejus, quæ tibi affinitate conjungitur.
15“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
15Turpitudinem nurus tuæ non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est: nec discooperies ignominiam ejus.
16“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
16Turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis: quia turpitudo fratris tui est.
17“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.
17Turpitudinem uxoris tuæ et filiæ ejus non revelabis. Filiam filii ejus, et filiam filiæ illius non sumes, ut reveles ignominiam ejus: quia caro illius sunt, et talis coitus incestus est.
18“‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.
18Sororem uxoris tuæ in pellicatum illius non accipies, nec revelabis turpitudinem ejus adhuc illa vivente.
19“‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
19Ad mulierem quæ patitur menstrua non accedes, nec revelabis fœditatem ejus.
20“‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
20Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis, nec seminis commistione maculaberis.
21“‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
21De semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.
22“‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.
22Cum masculo non commiscearis coitu femineo, quia abominatio est.
23“‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
23Cum omni pecore non coibis, nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet jumento, nec miscebitur ei, quia scelus est.
24“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
24Nec polluamini in omnibus his quibus contaminatæ sunt universæ gentes, quas ego ejiciam ante conspectum vestrum,
25The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
25et quibus polluta est terra: cujus ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos.
26You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you
26Custodite legitima mea atque judicia, et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinantur apud vos.
27(for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),
27Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolæ terræ qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.
28that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
28Cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat, cum paria feceritis, sicut evomuit gentem, quæ fuit ante vos.
29“‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
29Omnis anima, quæ fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.
30Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.’”
30Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere quæ fecerunt hi qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
