Leviticus 20
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 Hæc loqueris filiis Israel: Homo de filiis Israel, et de advenis, qui habitant in Israel, si quis dederit de semine suo idolo Moloch, morte moriatur: populus terræ lapidabit eum.
'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do stone him with stones;
3 Et ego ponam faciem meam contra illum: succidamque eum de medio populi sui, eo quod dederit de semine suo Moloch, et contaminaverit Sanctuarium meum, ac polluerit nomen sanctum meum.
and I — I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute My holy name.
4 Quod si negligens populus terræ, et quasi parvipendens imperium meum, dimiserit hominem qui dedit de semine suo Moloch, nec voluerit eum occidere:
'And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,
5 ponam faciem meam super hominem illum, et super cognationem eius, succidamque et ipsum, et omnes qui consensuerunt ei ut fornicarentur cum Moloch, de medio populi sui.
then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.
6 Anima, quæ declinaverit ad magos et ariolos, et fornicata fuerit cum eis, ponam faciem meam contra eam, et interficiam illam de medio populi sui.
'And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.
7 Sanctificamini et estote sancti, quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
'And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] Jehovah your God;
8 Custodite præcepta mea, et facite ea: Ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos.
and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying you.
9 Qui maledixerit patri suo, aut matri, morte moriatur: patri, matrique maledixit, sanguis eius sit super eum.
'For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood [is] on him.
10 Si mœchatus quis fuerit cum uxore alterius, et adulterium perpetraverit cum coniuge proximi sui, morte moriantur et mœchus et adultera.
'And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife — who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour — the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.
11 Qui dormierit cum noverca sua, et revelaverit ignominiam patris sui, morte moriantur ambo: sanguis eorum sit super eos.
'And a man who lieth with his father's wife — the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered — both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
12 Si quis dormierit cum nuru sua, uterque moriatur, quia scelus operati sunt: sanguis eorum sit super eos.
'And a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law — both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood [is] on them.
13 Qui dormierit cum masculo coitu femineo, uterque operatus est nefas, morte moriantur: sit sanguis eorum super eos.
'And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
14 Qui supra uxorem filiam, duxerit matrem eius, scelus operatus est: vivus ardebit cum eis, nec permanebit tantum nefas in medio vestri.
'And a man who taketh the woman and her mother — it [is] wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.
15 Qui cum iumento et pecore coierit, morte moriatur: pecus quoque occidite.
'And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.
16 Mulier, quæ succubuerit cuilibet iumento, simul interficietur cum eo: sanguis eorum sit super eos.
'And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it — thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
17 Qui acceperit sororem suam filiam patris sui, vel filiam matris suæ, et viderit turpitudinem eius, illaque conspexerit fratris ignominiam: nefariam rem operati sunt: occidentur in conspectu populi sui, eo quod turpitudinem suam mutuo revelaverint, et portabunt iniquitatem suam.
'And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.
18 Qui coierit cum muliere in fluxu menstruo, et revelaverit turpitudinem eius, ipsaque aperuerit fontem sanguinis sui, interficientur ambo de medio populi sui.
'And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, — even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.
19 Turpitudinem materteræ, et amitæ tuæ non discooperies: qui hoc fecerit, ignominiam carnis suæ nudavit, portabunt ambo iniquitatem suam.
'And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.
20 Qui coierit cum uxore patrui, vel avunculi sui, et revelaverit ignominiam cognationis suæ, portabunt ambo peccatum suum: absque liberis morientur.
'And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.
21 Qui duxerit uxorem fratris sui, rem facit illicitam, turpitudinem fratris sui revelavit: absque liberis erunt.
'And a man who taketh his brother's wife — it [is] impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.
22 Custodite leges meas, atque iudicia, et facite ea: ne et vos evomat terra quam intraturi estis et habitaturi.
'And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it;
23 Nolite ambulare in legitimis nationum, quas ego expulsurus sum ante vos. Omnia enim hæc fecerunt, et abominatus sum eas.
and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;
24 Vobis autem loquor: Possidete terram eorum, quam dabo vobis in hereditatem, terram fluentem lacte et melle. ego Dominus Deus vester, qui separavi vos a ceteris populis.
and I say to you, Ye — ye do possess their ground, and I — I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples.
25 Separate ergo et vos iumentum mundum ab immundo, et avem mundam ab immunda: ne polluatis animas vestras in pecore, et avibus, et cunctis quæ moventur in terra, et quæ vobis ostendi esse polluta.
'And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth [on] the ground which I have separated to you for unclean;
26 Eritis mihi sancti, quia sanctus sum ego Dominus, et separavi vos a ceteris populis, ut essetis mei.
and ye have been holy to Me; for holy [am] I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
27 Vir, sive mulier, in quibus pythonicus, vel divinationis fuerit spiritus, morte moriantur. lapidibus obruent eos: sanguis eorum sit super illos.
'And a man or woman — when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who [are] wizards — are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood [is] on them.'
