1 And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
3 You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
4 But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
5 So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
6 You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.
7 You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
8 And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
9 You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
10 You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
11 Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.
12 You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.
13 You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.
14 You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;
15 Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
16 You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
17 You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
18 And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
19 And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.
20 And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.
21 And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
22 You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.
23 And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.
24 Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
25 And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.
26 So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
27 (For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;)
28 So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.
29 For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.
30 So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
1 耶和华对摩西说：
2 "你要告诉以色列人， 对他们说： 我是耶和华你们的 神。
3 你们从前住过的埃及地， 那里的居民的行为， 你们不可随从； 我要领你们到的迦南地， 那里的居民的行为， 你们也不可仿效。你们不可跟随他们的风俗行。
4 你们要遵行我的典章， 谨守我的律例， 要遵照奉行； 我是耶和华你们的 神。
5 所以你们要谨守我的律例和典章； 人应该遵行这些， 按照它们生活， 我是耶和华。
6 "你们任何人都不可亲近骨肉之亲， 揭露她的下体； 我是耶和华。
7 你不可揭露你父亲的下体， 就是你母亲的下体； 她是你的母亲， 你不可揭露她的下体。
8 你父亲的妻子的下体， 你不可揭露； 那本是你父亲的下体。
9 你姊妹的下体， 无论是异母同父的， 或是异父同母的， 是在家里生的， 或是在外面生的， 你都不可揭露她们的下体。
10 你的孙女， 或是你的外孙女的下体， 你都不可揭露， 因为她们的下体就是你自己的下体。
11 你的继母为你父亲所生的女儿的下体， 是你的妹妹， 你不可揭露她的下体。
12 你不可揭露你姑母的下体； 她是你父亲的骨肉之亲。
13 你不可揭露你姨母的下体； 她是你母亲的骨肉之亲。
14 你不可揭露你叔伯的下体， 不可亲近他的妻子， 她本是你的婶母。
15 你不可揭露你儿媳的下体； 她是你儿子的妻子， 你不可揭露她的下体。
16 你不可揭露你兄弟妻子的下体； 那本是你兄弟的下体。
17 你不可揭露一个妇人的下体， 又揭露她女儿的下体； 不可娶她的孙女， 或是她的外孙女， 揭露她的下体； 她们是骨肉之亲， 这是丑恶的事。
18 妻子还活着的时候， 你不可另娶她的姊妹， 作她的情敌， 揭露她的下体。
19 "在污秽不洁中的妇女， 你不可亲近她， 揭露她的下体。
20 你不可与你同伴的妻子私通， 因她而玷污自己。
21 你不可把你的儿子（"儿子"原文作"种子"或"精子"）献给摩洛， 也不可亵渎你 神的名； 我是耶和华。
22 你不可与男人同睡交合， 像与女人同睡交合一样， 这是可憎的事。
23 你不可与任何走兽同睡交合， 因它而玷污自己； 女人也不可站在走兽面前， 与它交合； 这是逆性的事。
24 "你们不可让这些事的任何一件玷污自己， 因为我将要从你们面前赶出去的各族， 就是被这些事玷污了自己。
25 连地也被玷污， 所以我追讨那地的罪孽， 那地就把居民吐出去。
26 所以， 你们要谨守我的律例和典章； 这一切可憎的事， 无论是本地人或是在你们中间寄居的外人， 一件都不可作
27 （因为在你们以前住在那地的人， 行了这一切可憎的事， 就玷污了自己）；
28 免得你们玷污那地， 那地就把你们吐出去， 像吐出了在你们以前的各民族一样。
29 无论什么人， 行了一件这些可憎的事， 必从自己的族人中被剪除。
30 所以你们要谨守我的吩咐， 免得你们行那些可憎的风俗， 就是你们以前的人所行的， 玷污了自己。我是耶和华你们的 神。"
