利未記 18
1 上主訓示梅瑟說：」
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 你告訴以色列子民說：我是上主你們的天主。
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'I am Yahweh your God.
3 你們不要仿效你們註過的埃及地的習慣，也不要仿效我正要領你們去的客納罕地的習慣，不要隨從他們的風俗；
You must not do the things that the people do in Egypt, where you lived previously. You must not do the things that the people do in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not follow their customs.
4 應執行我的規定，遵守我的法令，依照遵行：我，上主是你們的天主。
My laws are what you must do, and my commandments are what you must keep, so that you walk in them, because I am Yahweh your God.

Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in all these ways the nations are defiled, the nations that I will drive out from before you.
25 甚至連這地也玷汙了，所以我必追究這地上的罪惡，使這地吐棄地上的居民。
The land became defiled, so I punished their sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
26 至於你們，應遵守我的法令和規定；不論是本地人，或是寄居在你們中間的外方人，這樣醜惡的事，一件也不許做，
You, therefore, must keep my commandments and decrees, and you must not do any of these detestable things, neither the native-born Israelite nor the foreigner who lives among you.
27 因為在你們以前住在這地上的人，做過這一切醜惡的事，玷污了這地方。
For this is the wickedness that the people in the land have committed, those who lived here before you, and now the land is defiled.
28 希望這地不要因你們而再受到玷汙，將你們吐棄，如同吐棄了你們之前的民族。
Therefore be careful so that the land does not vomit you up also after you have defiled it, as it vomited out the people who were before you.
29 因為，凡做任何一件這樣醜惡的事，這樣的人，都應由民間剷除。
Whoever does any of these detestable things, the persons who do such things will be cut off from among their people.
30 所以你們應遵守我的禁令，不可仿效你們以前的人所有的醜惡風俗，免得因此受到玷汙：我，上主是你們的天主。
Therefore you must keep my command not to practice any of these detestable customs which were practiced here before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am Yahweh your God.'”
