New International Version NIV
1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.
2
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the LORD your God.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
3
You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.
4 Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.
4
You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.
5
Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.
6 None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am Jehovah.
6
“ ‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.
7 The nakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
7
“ ‘Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
8
“ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; that would dishonor your father.
