Kuv yuav muab lawv rho tawm ntawm kuv haivneeg mus. 6“Yog leejtwg mus thov tej txivneeb ua neeb saib nws, kuv yuav tawmtsam tus ntawd thiab yuav muab nws rho tawm ntawm kuv haivneeg mus. 7Nej yuav tsum ua neeg ncaj ncees thiab dawbhuv, rau qhov kuv yog tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv. 8Nej cia li coj raws li kuv tej kevcai, rau qhov kuv yog tus TSWV thiab yog tus ua kom nej dawbhuv. 9“Yog leejtwg foom tsis zoo rau nws txiv lossis nws niam yuav tsum muab tus ntawd tua kom tuag; vim nws tau foom nws txiv lossis nws niam, lub txim tuag thiaj poob rau saum nws. 10“Yog tus txivneej twg mus deev tej neeg zejzog pojniam, cia li muab ob tug uas sib dee ntawd tua povtseg. 11Yog tus txivneej twg deev nws txiv tus pojniam ua rau nws txiv poob ntsejmuag, cia li muab nkawd tua povtseg. Vim nkawd tau ua txhaum, lub txim tuag thiaj poob rau saum nkawd. 12Yog tus txivneej twg deev nws tus nyab, cia li muab nkawd tua povtseg. Vim nkawd tau ua txhaum, lub txim tuag thiaj poob rau saum nkawd. 13Yog ob tug txivneej twg sib dee, nkawd ua li ntawd yog nkawd ua kev phem kev qias; yuav tsum muab nkawd tua povtseg. Vim nkawd tau ua txhaum, lub txim tuag thiaj poob rau saum nkawd. 14Yog leejtwg yuav leej niam thiab tus ntxhais los ua pojniam huv tibsi. Qhov uas ua li ntawd, yog ua kev phem kev qias, yuav tsum muab hluavtaws hlawv lawv kom tuag; thiaj yuav tsis muaj txojkev phem kev qias no nyob hauv nej lub tebchaws ntxiv lawm. 15Yog tus txivneej twg deev tej tsiaj txhu, yuav tsum muab nws thiab tus tsiaj ntawd tua povtseg. 16Yog tus pojniam twg deev tsiaj, yuav tsum muab nws thiab tus tsiaj ntawd tua povtseg; vim nkawd tau ua txhaum, lub txim tuag thiaj poob rau saum nkawd. 17“Yog leejtwg yuav nws tus muam uas koom niam koom txiv lossis txiv tshiab lossis niam tshiab tus ntxhais ua pojniam, nkawd yuav raug kev txajmuag tabmeeg tebchaws; cia li muab nkawd ntiab tawm ntawm sawvdaws mus. Rau qhov nws yuav nws tus muam, nws thiaj yuav tsum tau ris lub txim ntawd. 18Yog tus txivneej twg nrog ib tug pojniam pw thaum tus pojniam ntawd tabtom coj khaubncaws, cia li muab nkawd ntiab tawm ntawm sawvdaws mus, rau qhov nkawd ua txhaum tej kevcai uas hais txog kev ua tsis huv lawm. 19“Yog tus txivneej twg deev nws txiv cov muam lossis nws niam cov vivncaus, nkawd yuav tsum ris lub txim uas ua txhaum ntawd, rau qhov yog tej txheeb ze sib dee. 20Yog tus txivneej twg mus deev nws tus txivhlob lossis nws tus txivntxawm tus pojniam, vim nws ua rau nws tus txivhlob lossis tus txivntxawm poob ntsejmuag, nkawd yuav tsum raug txim; thiab nkawd yuav tsis muaj menyuam mus txog hnub tuag. 21Yog tus txivneej twg txeeb nws tus tijlaug lossis nws tus kwv tus pojniam yuav, nkawd yuav tsis muaj menyuam mus txog hnub tuag. Vim nws ua tej yam tsis huv thiab rhuav nws tus tijlaug lossis nws tus kwv ntsejmuag.” 22Tus TSWV hais tias, “Nej yuav tsum coj raws li kuv tej kevcai thiab kuv tej lus samhwm, nej thiaj yuav tsis raug ntiab tawm hauv lub tebchaws Kana-as uas kuv muab rau nej lawm. 23Nej tsis txhob mus coj cov neeg uas ibtxwm nyob hauv lub tebchaws ntawd tej kevcai; kuv muab cov neeg ntawd ntiab tawm mus, nej thiaj tau mus nyob hauv lub tebchaws ntawd. Lawv pheej ua tej kev phem kev qias kuv thiaj ntxub lawv heev. 24Tiamsis kuv tau cog lus muab lub tebchaws av rog thiab zoo qoob rau nej ua nej tug, thiab rau nej nyob mus li. Kuv yog tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv, kuv yog tus uas muab nej cais tawm ntawm lwm haivneeg mus nyob rau ib cag. 25Yog li ntawd, nej yuav tsum saib tej tsiaj thiab tej noog kom tseeb, saib yam twg huv thiab yam twg tsis huv. Tsis txhob noj tej tsiaj lossis tej noog uas tsis huv. Kuv twb qhia tej tsiaj tsis huv rau nej lawm, yog nej noj tej tsiaj ntawd yuav ua rau nej tsis huv. 26Nej yog kuv haivneeg thiab yog kuv tug, nej yuav tsum ua neeg dawbhuv, rau qhov kuv yog tus TSWV thiab kuv yog tus dawbhuv. Kuv tau xaiv nej tawm ntawm lwm haivneeg los ua kuv tug. 27“Tus txivneej lossis tus pojniam twg ua neeb thiab ua khawvkoob, yuav tsum muab pobzeb ntaus nws kom tuag; tus uas ua tej no lub txim tuag yuav poob rau saum nws.”

Penalties for Breaking the Law
1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2⚓“Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: ⚓‘Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall ⚓stone him with stones. 3⚓I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name. 4And if the people of the land should in any way hide their eyes from the man, when he gives some of his descendants to Molech, and they do not kill him, 5then I will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut him off from his people, and all who prostitute themselves with him to commit harlotry with Molech. 6‘And ⚓the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people. 7⚓Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God. 8And you shall keep ⚓My statutes, and perform them: ⚓I am the Lord who sanctifies you. 9‘For ⚓everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. ⚓His blood shall be upon him. 10⚓‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death. 11The man who lies with his ⚓father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. 12If a man lies with his ⚓daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed perversion. Their blood shall be upon them. 13⚓If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. 14If a man marries a woman and her ⚓mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you. 15If a man mates with an ⚓animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. 16If a woman approaches any animal and mates with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood is upon them. 17‘If a man takes his ⚓sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a wicked thing. And they shall be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his guilt. 18⚓If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from their people. 19‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your ⚓mother’s sister nor of your ⚓father’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their guilt. 20If a man lies with his ⚓uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21If a man takes his ⚓brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless. 22‘You shall therefore keep all My ⚓statutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell ⚓may not vomit you out. 23⚓And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and ⚓therefore I abhor them. 24But ⚓I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, ⚓who has separated you from the peoples. 25⚓You shall therefore distinguish between clean animals and unclean, between unclean birds and clean, ⚓and you shall not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or by any kind of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26And you shall be holy to Me, ⚓for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine. 27⚓‘A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.’ ”
