NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “ Haec lo queris filiis Israel: Homo de filiis Israel et de advenis, qui habitant in Israel, si dederit de semine suo idolo Moloch, morte moriatur: populus terrae lapidabit eum.	2 You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.
3 Et ego ponam faciem meam contra illum; succidamque eum de medio populi sui, eo quod dederit de semine suo Moloch et contaminaverit sanctuarium meum ac polluerit nomen sanctum meum.	3 And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.
4 Quod si clauserit populus terrae oculos suos, ne videat hominem illum, qui dederit de semine suo Moloch, nec voluerit eum occidere,	4 But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,
5 ponam ego faciem meam super hominem illum et cognationem eius succidamque et ipsum et omnes, qui consenserunt ei, ut fornicarentur cum Moloch, de medio populi sui.	5 I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.
6 Anima, quae declinaverit ad pythones et hariolos et fornicata fuerit cum eis, ponam faciem meam contra eam et interficiam illam de medio populi sui.	6 The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.
7 Sanctificamini et estote sancti, quia ego Dominus Deus vester.	7 Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Custodite praecepta mea et facite ea. Ego Dominus, qui sanctifico vos.	8 Observe my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.
9 Qui maledixerit patri suo et matri, morte moriatur; qui patri matrique maledixit, sanguis eius sit super eum.	9 Whoever curses his father or mother shall die a death; he has cursed his father and mother. So let his blood be upon him.

17 Qui acceperit sororem suam filiam patris sui vel filiam matris suae et viderit turpitudinem eius, illaque conspexerit fratris ignominiam, nefaria res est; occidentur in conspectu populi sui, eo quod turpitudinem sororis suae revelaverit, portabit iniquitatem suam.	17 Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act.

Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui separavi vos a ceteris populis.	24 But I say to you: Possess their land, which I will give to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.
