Leviticus, chapter 18, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 18 Vulgate

   1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:
   2 "Loquere fi liis Israel et dices ad eos: Ego Dominus Deus vester.
   3 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 Facietis iudicia mea et praecepta mea servabitis et ambulabitis in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
   5 Custodite leges meas atque iudicia; quae faciens homo vivet in eis. Ego Dominus.
   6 Omnis homo ad consanguineum suum non accedet, ut revelet turpitudinem eius. Ego Dominus.
   7 Turpitudinem patris et turpitudinem matris tuae non discooperies: mater tua est, non revelabis turpitudinem eius.
   8 Turpitudinem uxoris patris tui non discooperies, turpitudo enim patris tui est.
   9 Turpitudinem sororis tuae ex patre sive ex matre, quae domi vel foris genita est, non revelabis.
   10 Turpitudinem filiae filii tui vel neptis ex filia non revelabis, quia turpitudo tua est.
   11 Turpitudinem filiae uxoris patris tui, quam peperit patri tuo et est soror tua, non revelabis.
   12 Turpitudinem sororis patris tui non discooperies, quia caro est patris tui.
   13 Turpitudinem sororis matris tuae non revelabis, eo quod caro sit matris tuae.
   14 Turpitudinem patrui tui non revelabis nec accedes ad uxorem eius, quae tibi affinitate coniungitur.
   15 Turpitudinem nurus tuae non revelabis, quia uxor filii tui est, nec discooperies ignominiam eius.
   16 Turpitudinem uxoris fratris tui non revelabis, quia turpitudo fratris tui est.
   17 Turpitudinem mulieris et filiae eius non revelabis. Filiam filii eius et filiam filiae illius non sumes, ut reveles ignominiam eius, quia caro illius sunt: nefas est.
   18 Sororem uxoris tuae aemulam illius non accipies nec revelabis turpitudinem eius, adhuc illa vivente.
   19 Ad mulierem, quae patitur menstrua, non accedes nec revelabis foeditatem eius.
   20 Cum uxore proximi tui non coibis nec seminis commixtione maculaberis.
   21 De semine tuo non dabis, ut consecretur idolo Moloch, nec pollues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dominus.
   22 Cum masculo non commisceberis coitu femineo: abominatio est.
   23 Cum omni pecore non coibis nec maculaberis cum eo. Mulier non succumbet iumento nec miscebitur ei, quia scelus est.
   24 Ne polluamini in omnibus his, quibus contaminatae sunt universae gentes, quas ego eiciam ante conspectum vestrum
   25 et quibus polluta est terra, cuius ego scelera visitavi, et evomuit habitatores suos.
   26 Vos autem custodite legitima mea atque iudicia et non faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis tam indigena quam colonus, qui peregrinatur apud vos.
   27 Omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolae terrae, qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluerunt eam.
   28 Cavete ergo, ne et vos similiter evomat, cum pollueritis eam, sicut evomuit gentem, quae fuit ante vos.
   29 Omnis enim anima, quae fecerit de abominationibus his quippiam, peribit de medio populi sui.
   30 Custodite mandata mea. Nolite facere legitima abominabilia, quae fecerunt hi, qui fuerunt ante vos, et ne polluamini in eis. Ego Dominus Deus vester"

King James Version

   1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
   3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
   4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
   5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
   6 ¶ None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
   7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
   8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
   9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
   10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for their's is thine own nakedness.
   11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
   12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
   13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
   14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
   15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
   16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
   17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
   18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
   19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
   20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
   21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
   22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
   23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
   24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
   25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
   26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
   27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
   28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
   29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
   30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
