Leviticus 18

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 耶和華對摩西說：

2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.

2 「你曉諭以色列人說：我是耶和華－你們的上帝。

3 You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.

3 你們從前住的埃及地，那裏人的行為，你們不可效法，我要領你們到的迦南地，那裏人的行為也不可效法，也不可照他們的惡俗行。

4 You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.

4 你們要遵我的典章，守我的律例，按此而行。我是耶和華－你們的上帝。

5 Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.

5 所以，你們要守我的律例典章；人若遵行，就必因此活着。我是耶和華。

6 None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.

6 「你們都不可露骨肉之親的下體，親近他們。我是耶和華。

7 You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.

7 不可露你母親的下體，羞辱了你父親。她是你的母親，不可露她的下體。

8 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.

8 不可露你繼母的下體；這本是你父親的下體。

9 You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

9 你的姊妹，不拘是異母同父的，是異父同母的，無論是生在家生在外的，都不可露她們的下體。

10 You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.

10 不可露你孫女或是外孫女的下體，露了她們的下體就是露了自己的下體。

11 You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.

11 你繼母從你父親生的女兒本是你的妹妹，不可露她的下體。

12 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.

12 不可露你姑母的下體；她是你父親的骨肉之親。

13 You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.

13 不可露你姨母的下體；她是你母親的骨肉之親。

14 You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.

14 不可親近你伯叔之妻，羞辱了你伯叔；她是你的伯叔母。

15 You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sexual relations with her.

15 不可露你兒婦的下體；她是你兒子的妻，不可露她的下體。

16 You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.

16 不可露你弟兄妻子的下體；這本是你弟兄的下體。

17 You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.

17 不可露了婦人的下體，又露她女兒的下體，也不可娶她孫女或是外孫女，露她們的下體；她們是骨肉之親，這本是大惡。

18 You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.

18 你妻還在的時候，不可另娶她的姊妹作對頭，露她的下體。

19 You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.

19 「女人行經不潔淨的時候，不可露她的下體，與她親近。

20 You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.

20 不可與鄰舍的妻行淫，玷污自己。

21 You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

21 不可使你的兒女經火歸與摩洛，也不可褻瀆你上帝的名。我是耶和華。

22 You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.

22 不可與男人苟合，像與女人一樣；這本是可憎惡的。

23 You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.

23 不可與獸淫合，玷污自己。女人也不可站在獸前，與牠淫合；這本是逆性的事。

24 Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.

24 「在這一切的事上，你們都不可玷污自己；因為我在你們面前所逐出的列邦，在這一切的事上玷污了自己；

25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

25 連地也玷污了，所以我追討那地的罪孽，那地也吐出它的居民。

26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.

26 故此，你們要守我的律例典章。這一切可憎惡的事，無論是本地人，是寄居在你們中間的外人，都不可行，（

27 For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.

27 在你們以先居住那地的人行了這一切可憎惡的事，地就玷污了，）

28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.

28 免得你們玷污那地的時候，地就把你們吐出，像吐出在你們以先的國民一樣。

29 Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.

29 無論甚麼人，行了其中可憎的一件事，必從民中剪除。

30 You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”

30 所以，你們要守我所吩咐的，免得你們隨從那些可憎的惡俗，就是在你們以先的人所常行的，以致玷污了自己。我是耶和華－你們的上帝。」
