| 1 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: | Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: |
| 2 | Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am the Lord your God. | Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester: |
| 3 | You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you, nor shall you walk in their ordinances. | iuxta consuetudinem terrae Aegypti, 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 judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God. | Facietis iudicia mea, et praecepta mea servabitis, et ambulabitis in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester. |
| 5 | Keep my laws and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. I am the Lord. | Custodite leges meas atque iudicia, quae faciens homo, vivet in eis. Ego Dominus. |
| 6 | No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord. | Omnis homo ad proximam sanguinis sui non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem eius. Ego Dominus. |
| 7 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. | Turpitudinem patris tui et turpitudinem matris tuae non discooperies: mater tua est: non revelabis turpitudinem eius. |
| 8 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife: for it is the nakedness of thy father. | Turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discooperies: turpitudo enim patris tui est. |
| 9 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy sister by father or by mother, whether born at home or abroad. | Turpitudinem sororis tuae ex patre sive ex matre, quae domi vel foris genita est, non revelabis. |
| 10 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or thy daughter’s daughter: because it is thy own nakedness. | Turpitudinem filiae filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis: quia turpitudo tua est. |
| 11 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to thy father, and who is thy sister. | Turpitudinem filiae uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo, et est soror tua, non revelabis. |
| 12 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: because she is the flesh of thy father. | Turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discooperies: quia caro est patris tui. |
| 13 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: because she is thy mother’s flesh. | Turpitudinem sororis matris tuae non revelabis, eo quod caro sit matris tuae. |
| 14 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother: neither shalt thou approach to his wife, who is joined to thee by affinity. | Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis, nec accedes ad uxorem eius, quae tibi affinitate coniungitur. |
| 15 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: because she is thy son’s wife, neither shalt thou discover her shame. | Turpitudinem nurus tuae non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est: nec discooperies ignominiam eius. |
| 16 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother. | Turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis: quia turpitudo fratris tui est. |
| 17 | Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest. | Turpitudinem uxoris tuae et filiae eius non revelabis. Filiam filii eius, et filiam filiae illius non sumes, ut reveles ignominiam eius: quia caro illius sunt, et talis coitus incestus est. |
| 18 | Thou shalt not take thy wife’s sister for a harlot, to rival her, neither shalt thou discover her nakedness, while she is yet living. | Sororem uxoris tuae in pellicatum illius non accipies, nec revelabis turpitudinem eius adhuc illa vivente. |
| 19 | Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers, neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness. | Ad mulierem quae patitur menstrua non accedes, nec revelabis foeditatem eius. |
| 20 | Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour’s wife, nor be defiled with mingling of seed. | Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis, nec seminis commistione maculaberis. |
| 21 | Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord. | De semine tuo non dabis ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus. |
| 22 | Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination. | Cum masculo non commiscearis coitu femineo, quia abominatio est. |
| 23 | Thou shalt not copulate with any beast, neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime. | Cum omni pecore non coibis, nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet iumento, nec miscebitur ei, quia scelus est. |
| 24 | Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you, | Nec polluamini in omnibus his quibus contaminatae sunt universae gentes, quas ego eiiciam ante conspectum vestrum, |
| 25 | And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants. | et quibus polluta est terra: cuius ego scelera visitabo, ut evomat habitatores suos. |
| 26 | Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth 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 detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it. | Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolae terrae qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam. |
| 28 | Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. | Cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat, cum paria feceritis, sicut evomuit gentem, quae fuit ante vos. |
| 29 | Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people. | Omnis anima, quae fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui. |
| 30 | Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God. | Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere quae fecerunt hi qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester. |
