Sods par apgānīšanu
1 Un Kungs sacīja Mozum: 2 “Saki Israēla dēliem: ikviens no Israēla dēliem un svešiniekiem, kas Israēlā apmetušies, ja tas dos kādu no saviem pēcnācējiem Moleham, tas lai mirtin mirst – tādu lai ļaudis nomētā akmeņiem. 3 Pret tādu es vērsīšu savu vaigu, es iznīdēšu viņu no tautas, ka savu pēcnācēju viņš ir atdevis Moleham, padarīdams nešķīstu manu svētumu, sagānīdams manu svēto vārdu. 4 Ja ļaudis izliksies neredzam to, kas savu pēcnācēju atdevis Moleham, un viņu nenonāvēs, 5 tad es pats vērsīšu savu vaigu pret viņu un pret viņa dzimtu – es iznīdēšu no tautas gan viņu pašu, gan visus, kas tāpat kā viņš ir maukojuši pakaļ Moleham.
6 Kas gājis pie garu izsaucējiem vai zintniekiem, lai maukotu tiem pakaļ, – pret to es vērsīšu savu vaigu, es viņu iznīdēšu no tautas! 7 Svētieties un esiet svēti, jo es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs. 8 Turiet visus manus likumus un pildiet tos – es esmu Kungs, kas jūs svētī! 9 Ikviens, kas nolād savu tēvu vai māti, lai mirtin mirst – savu tēvu vai māti viņš ir nolādējis, lai viņa asinis nāk pār to! 10 Ja kāds pārkāpj laulību ar kāda vīra sievu, ja pārkāpj laulību ar sava tuvākā sievu – lai mirtin mirst gan tas, kas pārkāpis, gan tā, kas pārkāpusi. 11 Kas gulējis ar sava tēva sievu, ir atsedzis sava tēva kailumu – abi lai tiek nonāvēti, viņu asinis ir pār tiem. 12 Ja kāds guļ ar savu vedeklu – lai mirst abi, jo tie darījuši nešķīstību, viņu asinis ir pār tiem. 13 Ja vīrs guļ ar vīru, kā ar sievu mēdz gulēt, – abi ir darījuši preteklību, lai abi tiek nonāvēti, viņu asinis ir pār tiem. 14 Ja vīrs ņem sievu un viņas māti – tā ir izvirtība, gan viņu, gan tās abas lai sadedzina ugunī, lai jūsu vidū nav izvirtības. 15 Ja kāds kopojas ar lopu – lai viņš mirst, bet to lopu jūs nokaujiet. 16 Ja sieva tuvojas lopam un paguļas tam, tad nokauj gan to sievu, gan lopu – lai tie mirtin mirst, viņu asinis lai ir pār tiem. 17 Ja vīrs ņem savu māsu, sava tēva vai savas mātes meitu, un atsedz viņas kailumu un viņa redz tā kailumu – tas ir kauns, lai tie abi tiek iznīdēti no tautas visu acu priekšā. Viņš ir atsedzis savas māsas kailumu, viņš nes savu vainu! 18 Ja vīrs guļ ar sievu, kad tai ir mēnešreizes, un atsedz viņas kailumu, viņš ir atsedzis viņas asins avotu un viņa ir atsegusi savu asins avotu – tie abi lai tiek iznīdēti no tautas vidus. 19 Neatsedz savas mātesmāsas un savas tēvamāsas kailumu – kas atsedz savu tuvinieku kailumu, tas nes vainu. 20 Ja kāds guļ ar savu tanti, tad viņš ir atsedzis sava tēvoča kailumu – tie abi nes grēku, lai tie nomirst bez bērniem. 21 Ja vīrs ņem sava brāļa sievu, tā ir nešķīstība, viņš ir atsedzis sava brāļa kailumu – lai tie paliek bez bērniem!
22 Ievērojiet visus manus likumus un manas tiesas un pildiet tos, lai jūs neizvemj tā zeme, kurp es esmu jūs aizvedis mājot. 23 Nedzīvojiet pēc to tautu likumiem, kuras es padzinu jūsu priekšā, jo man bija noriebies viss, ko tie darīja, 24 un es jums teicu: jūs iemantosiet viņu zemi, es došu to jums par īpašumu – zemi, kur plūst piens un medus! Es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs, kurš nošķīris jūs no citām tautām! 25 Tādēļ arī jūs atšķiriet šķīstus lopus no nešķīstiem un nešķīstus putnus no šķīstiem, nesagāniet sevi ar kādu lopu, putnu vai jebko, kas mudž pa zemi, ko es priekš jums esmu nošķīris par nešķīstību. 26 Un esiet man svēti, jo svēts esmu es – Kungs, un es nošķīru jūs no citām tautām, lai esat mani!
27 Vīrs vai sieva jūsu vidū, kas ir garu izsaucēji vai zintnieki, lai mirtin mirst, tādus lai nomētā akmeņiem – viņu asinis ir pār tiem!”
Penalties for Disobedience
1 The Lord told Moses 2 to say to the people of Israel, “Any of you or any foreigner living among you who gives any children to be used in the worship of the god Molech shall be stoned to death by the whole community. 3 If any of you give one of your children to Molech and make my sacred Tent unclean and disgrace my holy name, I will turn against you and will no longer consider you my people. 4 But if the community ignores what you have done and does not put you to death, 5 I myself will turn against you and your whole family and against all who join you in being unfaithful to me and worshiping Molech. I will no longer consider any of you my people.
6 “If any of you go for advice to people who consult the spirits of the dead, I will turn against you and will no longer consider you one of my people. 7 Keep yourselves holy, because I am the Lord your God. 8 Obey my laws, because I am the Lord and I make you holy.”
9 The Lord gave the following regulations. Any of you that curse your father or mother shall be put to death; you are responsible for your own death.
10 If a man commits adultery with the wife of an Israelite, both he and the woman shall be put to death. 11 A man who has intercourse with one of his father's wives disgraces his father, and both he and the woman shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death. 12 If a man has intercourse with his daughter-in-law, they shall both be put to death. They have committed incest and are responsible for their own death. 13 If a man has sexual relations with another man, they have done a disgusting thing, and both shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death. 14 If a man marries a woman and her mother, all three shall be burned to death because of the disgraceful thing they have done; such a thing must not be permitted among you. 15 If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he and the animal shall be put to death. 16 If a woman tries to have sexual relations with an animal, she and the animal shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death.
17 If a man marries his sister or half sister, they shall be publicly disgraced and driven out of the community. He has had intercourse with his sister and must suffer the consequences. 18 If a man has intercourse with a woman during her monthly period, both of them are to be driven out of the community, because they have broken the regulations about ritual uncleanness.
19 If a man has intercourse with his aunt, both of them must suffer the consequences for incest. 20 If a man has intercourse with his uncle's wife, he disgraces his uncle, and he and the woman will pay the penalty; neither one will have children. 21 If a man takes his brother's wife, they will die childless. He has done a ritually unclean thing and has disgraced his brother.
22 The Lord said, “Keep all my laws and commands, so that you will not be rejected by the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. 23 Do not adopt the customs of the people who live there; I am driving out those pagans so that you can enter the land. They have disgusted me with all their evil practices. 24 But I have promised you this rich and fertile land as your possession, and I will give it to you. I am the Lord your God, and I have set you apart from the other nations. 25 So then, you must make a clear distinction between animals and birds that are ritually clean and those that are not. Do not eat unclean animals or birds. I have declared them unclean, and eating them would make you unclean. 26 You shall be holy and belong only to me, because I am the Lord and I am holy. I have set you apart from the other nations so that you would belong to me alone.
27 “Any man or woman who consults the spirits of the dead shall be stoned to death; any of you that do this are responsible for your own death.”
