Liber Leviticus, 19

1. Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

1. And the LORD said to Moses,

2. “Loquere ad omnem coetum filiorum Israel et dices ad eos: Sancti estote, quia sanctus sum ego, Dominus Deus vester.

2. "Say to all the congregation of the people of Israel, You shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy.

3. Unusquisque matrem et patrem suum timeat. Sabbata mea custodite. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

3. Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.

4. Nolite converti ad idola nec deos conflatiles faciatis vobis. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

4. Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.

5. Si immolaveritis hostiam pacificorum Domino, immolabitis eam ita ut sit vobis placabilis.

5. "When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.

6. Eo die, quo fuerit immolata, comedetur et die altero; quidquid autem residuum fuerit in diem tertium, igne comburetur.

6. It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, or on the morrow; and anything left over until the third day shall be burned with fire.

7. Si quid post biduum comestum fuerit, profanum erit neque acceptabile.

7. If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it will not be accepted,

8. Qui manducaverit illud, portabit iniquitatem suam, quia sanctum Domini polluit, et peribit anima illa de populo suo.

8. and every one who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned a holy thing of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from his people.

9. Cum messueris segetes terrae tuae, non tondebis usque ad marginem agri tui nec remanentes spicas colliges.

9. "When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field to its very border, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest.

10. Neque in vinea tua racemos et grana decidentia congregabis, sed pauperibus et peregrinis carpenda dimittes. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

10. And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.

11. Non facietis furtum. Non mentiemini, nec decipiet unusquisque proximum suum.

11. "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

12. And you shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.

13. Non facies calumniam proximo tuo nec spoliabis eum. Non morabitur merces mercennarii apud te usque mane.

13. "You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.

14. Non maledices surdo nec coram caeco pones offendiculum; sed timebis Deum tuum. Ego Dominus.

14. You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am the LORD.

15. Non facietis, quod iniquum est in iudicio. Non consideres personam pauperis nec honores vultum potentis. Iuste iudica proximo tuo.

15. "You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.

16. Non eris criminator et susurro in populo tuo. Non stabis contra sanguinem proximi tui. Ego Dominus.

19. "You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; nor shall there come upon you a garment of cloth made of two kinds of stuff.

20. Homo, si dormierit cum muliere coitu seminis, quae sit ancilla destinata viro et tamen pretio non redempta nec libertate donata, vapulabunt ambo et non morientur, quia non fuit libera.

20. "If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave, betrothed to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, an inquiry shall be held. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free;

21. Et in sacrificium suum pro delicto offeret Domino ad ostium tabernaculi conventus arietem;

21. but he shall bring a guilt offering for himself to the LORD, to the door of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering.

23. "When you come into the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden; three years it shall be forbidden to you, it must not be eaten.

24. Quarto anno omnis fructus eorum sanctificabitur laudabilis Domino.

24. And in the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the LORD.

25. Quinto autem anno comedetis fructus eorum, ut augeatur vobis proventus eorum. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

25. But in the fifth year you may eat of their fruit, that they may yield more richly for you: I am the LORD your God.
