Supplements of the Seventh Commandment
22. Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination.
22. Cure masculo ne concumbas concubitu mulieris: abominatio est.
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.
23. Cum animali non coibis ut polluaris cum eo: nec mulier prostituet se animali ut coeat cum eo: turpitudo est.
24. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you.
24. Ne polluamini in omnibus his: nam in his omnibus polluerunt se gentes quas ego ejiciam a facie vestra.
25. And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
25. Polluta fuit terra, et visitavi iniquitatem ejus super eam, evomuitque terra habitatores suos.
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;
26. Vos ergo custodite statuta mea, et judicia mea: et ne faciatis ex omnibus abominationibus istis, indigena, vel peregrinus qui peregrinatur in medio vestri.
27. (For all these abominations have the men of the land done which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
27. Omnes enim abominationes istas fecerunt homines terrae qui fuerunt ante vos, et polluta fuit terra.
28. That the land spur not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.
28. Ne evomat vos terra quod contaminetis eam, quemadmodum evomuit gentem quae fuit ante vos.
29. For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
29. Quisquis enim fecerit ex omnibus abominationibus istis, animae quae fecerint excidentur e medio populi sui.
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.
30. Custodite custodias meas, nec facietis e statutis abominationum quae facta sunt ante vos, neque polluatis vos in illis: ego Jehova Deus vester.
