< Leviticus 18 >

1 The LORD said to Moses,
Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am the LORD your God.
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester:
3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
iuxta consuetudinem Terræ Ægypti, in qua habitastis, non facietis: et iuxta morem Regionis Chanaan, ad quam ego introducturus sum vos, non agetis, nec in legitimis eorum ambulabitis.
4 You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am the LORD your God.
Facietis iudicia mea, et præcepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. ego Dominus Deus vester.
5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
Custodite leges meas atque iudicia, quæ faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.
6 "'None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem eius. 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.
Turpitudinem patris tui turpitudinem matris tuæ non discooperies: mater tua est. non revelabis turpitudinem eius.
8 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your father's nakedness.
Turpitudinem 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.
Turpitudinem 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.
Turpitudinem 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, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
Turpitudinem 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 flesh.
Turpitudinem 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 flesh
Turpitudinem 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.
Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis, nec accedes ad uxorem eius, quæ tibi affinitate coniungitur.
15 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
Turpitudinem nurus tuæ non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est, nec discooperies ignominiam eius.
16 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
Turpitudinem 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.
Turpitudinem uxoris tuæ et filiæ eius non revelabis. Filiam filii eius, et filiam filiæ illius non sumes, ut reveles ignominiam eius: quia caro illius sunt, et talis coitus incestus est.
18 "'You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.
Sororem uxoris tuæ in pellicatum illius non accipies, nec revelabis turpitudinem eius adhuc illa vivente.
19 "'You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
Ad mulierem, quæ patitur menstrua, non accedes, nec revelabis fœditatem eius.
20 "'You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.
Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis, nec seminis commistione maculaberis.
21 "'You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
De semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.
22 "'You shall not have sexual relations with a male, as with a woman. That is detestable.
Cum masculo non commiscearis coitu femineo, quia abominatio est.
23 "'You shall not have sexual relations with any animal to become defiled with it, nor shall any woman give herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it. It is a perversion.
Cum omni pecore non coibis, nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet iumento, nec miscebitur ei: quia scelus est.
24 "'Do not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
Nec polluamini in omnibus his, quibus contaminatæ sunt universæ gentes, quas ego eiiciam ante conspectum vestrum,
25 The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
et quibus polluta est terra: cuius ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos.
26 You 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;
Custodite legitima mea atque iudicia, et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinantur apud vos.
27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);
Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolæ terræ qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.
28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
Cavete 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.
Omnis anima, quæ fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.
30 Therefore 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.'"
Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere quæ fecerunt hi qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
