Leviticus 18
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
3 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.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein all of you dwelt, shall all of you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall all of you not do: neither shall all of you walk in their ordinances.
4 Facietis iudicia mea, et præcepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. ego Dominus Deus vester.
All of you shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5 Custodite leges meas atque iudicia, quæ faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.
All of you shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem eius. Ego Dominus.
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 Turpitudinem patris tui turpitudinem matris tuæ non discooperies: mater tua est. non revelabis turpitudinem eius.
The nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, shall you not uncover: she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 Turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discooperies: turpitudo enim patris tui est.
The nakedness of your father's wife shall you not uncover: it is your father's nakedness.
9 Turpitudinem sororis tuæ ex patre, sive ex matre, quæ domi vel foris genita est, non revelabis.
The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10 Turpitudinem filiæ filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis: quia turpitudo tua est.
The nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness you shall not uncover: for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 Turpitudinem filiæ uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo, et est soror tua, non revelabis.
The nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten of your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 Turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discooperies: quia caro est patris tui.

13 Turpitudinem sororis matris tuæ non revelabis, eo quod caro sit matris tuæ.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's near kinswoman.
14 Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis, nec accedes ad uxorem eius, quæ tibi affinitate coniungitur.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach to his wife: she is your aunt.
15 Turpitudinem nurus tuæ non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est, nec discooperies ignominiam eius.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law: she is your son's wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 Turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis: quia turpitudo fratris tui est.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
17 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.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shall you take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Sororem uxoris tuæ in pellicatum illius non accipies, nec revelabis turpitudinem eius adhuc illa vivente.
Neither shall you take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Ad mulierem, quæ patitur menstrua, non accedes, nec revelabis fœditatem eius.
Also you shall not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis, nec seminis commistione maculaberis.
Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbour's wife, to defile yourself with her.
21 De semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.
And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
22 Cum masculo non commiscearis coitu femineo, quia abominatio est.
You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Cum omni pecore non coibis, nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet iumento, nec miscebitur ei: quia scelus est.
Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Nec polluamini in omnibus his, quibus contaminatæ sunt universæ gentes, quas ego eiiciam ante conspectum vestrum,
Defile not all of you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 et quibus polluta est terra: cuius ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos.
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants.
26 Custodite legitima mea atque iudicia, et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, tam indigena quam colonus qui peregrinantur apud vos.
All of you shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourns among you:
27 Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolæ terræ qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled; )
28 Cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat, cum paria feceritis, sicut evomuit gentem, quæ fuit ante vos.
That the land spew not you out also, when all of you defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.
29 Omnis anima, quæ fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere quæ fecerunt hi qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Therefore shall all of you keep mine ordinance, that all of you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that all of you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
