Leviticus 19
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 Loquere ad omnem coetum filiorum Israel, et dices ad eos: Sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum, Dominus Deus vester.
“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Adonai your God, am holy.
3 Unusquisque patrem suum, et matrem suam timeat. Sabbata mea custodite. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
“‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Adonai your God.
4 Nolite converti ad idola, nec deos conflatiles faciatis vobis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
“‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten deities for yourselves. I am Adonai your God.
5 Si immolaveritis hostiam pacificorum Domino ut sit placabilis,
“‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Adonai, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
6 eo die quo fuerit immolata, comedetis eam, et die altero: quidquid autem residuum fuerit in diem tertium, igne comburetis.
It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.
7 Si quis post biduum comederit ex ea, profanus erit, et impietatis reus:
If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
8 portabitque iniquitatem suam, quia sanctum Domini polluit, et peribit anima illa de populo suo.
but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Adonai, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 Cumque messueris segetes terrae tuae, non tondebis usque ad solum superficiem terrae: nec remanentes spicas colliges.
“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 Neque in vinea tua racemos et grana decidentia congregabis, sed pauperibus et peregrinis carpenda dimittes. ego Dominus Deus vester.
You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Adonai your God.
11 Non facietis furtum. Non mentiemini, nec decipiet unusquisque proximum suum.
“‘You shall not steal from, defraud, or lie to one another.
12 Non periurabis in nomine meo, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. ego Dominus.
“‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am Adonai.
13 Non facies calumniam proximo tuo, nec vi opprimes eum. Non morabitur opus mercenarii tui apud te usque mane.
“‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. “‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
14 Non maledices surdo, nec coram caeco pones offendiculum: sed timebis Dominum Deum tuum, quia ego sum Dominus.
“‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am Adonai.
15 Non facies quod iniquum est, nec iniuste iudicabis. Non consideres personam pauperis, nec honores vultum potentis. Iuste iudica proximo tuo.
“‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor uprightly.
16 Non eris criminator, nec susurro in populo. Non stabis contra sanguinem proximi tui. ego Dominus.
“‘You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people. “‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am Adonai.
17 Non oderis fratrem tuum in corde tuo, sed publice argue eum, ne habeas super illo peccatum.
“‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

“‘You shall not take vengeance or revenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall 'ahav ·affectionately love· your neighbor as yourself. I am Adonai.
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.
“‘You shall keep my regulations. “‘You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals. “‘You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; “‘Don’t wear a garment made of two kinds of material.
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 a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed, or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 pro delicto autem suo offeret Domino ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii arietem:
He shall bring his trespass offering to Adonai, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
22 orabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato eius coram Domino, et repropitiabitur ei, dimitteturque peccatum.
The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Adonai for his sin which he has committed: and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.

“‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
34 sed sit inter vos quasi indigena: et diligetis eum quasi vosmetipsos: fuistis enim et vos advenae in Terra Aegypti. ego Dominus Deus vester.
