1 Viešpats kalbėjo Mozei:
2 "Aš esu Viešpats, jūsų Dievas.
3 Nesielkite, kaip elgiasi egiptiečiai, tarp kurių jūs gyvenote, ir nesilaikykite papročių Kanaano šalies, kurion jus įvesiu, nevaikščiokite pagal jų nuostatus.
4 Vykdykite mano paliepimus ir pagal mano nuostatus elkitės. Aš esu Viešpats, jūsų Dievas.
5 Laikykitės mano įstatymų ir paliepimų, kuriuos vykdydamas žmogus bus gyvas. Aš esu Viešpats.
6 Nesiartinkite prie artimo giminaičio, kad atidengtumėte jo nuogumą. Aš esu Viešpats.
7 Neatidenk savo tėvo nei motinos nuogumo. Ji yra tavo motinatu neturi atidengti jos nuogumo.
8 Neatidenk savo tėvo žmonos nuogumo, nes tai yra tavo tėvo nuogumas.
9 Neatidenk nuogumo savo sesers, kuri yra tavo tėvo ar motinos duktė, gimusi namie ar kur kitur.
10 Neatidenk savo sūnaus dukros ar dukters dukros nuogumo, nes tai tavo paties nuogumas.
11 Neatidenk nuogumo savo tėvo žmonos dukros, kurią ji pagimdė tavo tėvui, nes ji yra tavo sesuo.
12 Neatidenk savo tėvo sesers nuogumo, nes tai yra tavo tėvo artima giminaitė.
13 Neatidenk savo motinos sesers nuogumo, nes tai tavo motinos artima giminaitė.
14 Neatidenk savo dėdės žmonos nuogumo, nes ji yra tavo teta.
15 Neatidenk savo sūnaus žmonos nuogumo.
16 Neatidenk savo brolio žmonos nuogumo, nes tai tavo brolio nuogumas.
17 Neatidenk nuogumo moters ir jos dukros arba jos sūnaus dukros, nes jie yra jos artimi giminaičiai; tai nusikaltimas.
18 Neimk savo žmonos sesers į suguloves ir neatidenk jos nuogumo žmonai gyvai esant.
19 Nesiartink prie moters, turinčios mėnesines, kad atidengtum jos nuogumą.
20 Nesigulk su savo artimo žmona, kad susiterštum su ja.
21 Neaukok savo vaikų sudeginti Molechui ir neišniekink mano vardo, nes Aš esu Viešpats.
22 Nesugulk su vyru kaip su moterimi, nes tai pasibjaurėjimas.
23 Nesantykiauk su gyvuliu save suteršdamas, ir moteris neturi stotis prieš gyvulį, kad su juo santykiautų, nes tai iškrypimas.
24 Nesusitepkite minėtais būdais, nes taip susitepė tautos, kurias Aš išvarau nuo jūsų.
25 Kraštas buvo suteptas. Aš užtrauksiu jų nusikaltimus ant jų, ir kraštas išvems savo gyventojus.
26 Jūs ir tarp jūsų pasiliekantys ateiviai laikykitės mano įstatymų ir įsakymų ir nedarykite nė vienos minėtų bjaurysčių.
27 Visas tas bjaurystes darė krašto gyventojai, gyvenę pirma jūsų, ir jį sutepė.
28 Saugokitės, kad kraštas ir jūsų neišspjautų, jei jį suteršite, kaip išspjovė pirma jūsų buvusias tautas.
29 Kiekvienas žmogus, kuris darytų bet kurią iš tų bjaurysčių, bus išnaikintas iš savo tautos.
30 Laikykitės mano nuostatų. Nedarykite to, ką darė pirma jūsų gyvenusieji. Aš esu Viešpats, jūsų Dievas".
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.
