Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Leviticus 19:1–20:27
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Lord your God [am] holy. 3Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God. 4Ye shall not follow idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God. 5And if ye will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, ye shall offer it acceptable from yourselves. 6In what day soever ye shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire. 7And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted. 8And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people. 9And when ye reap the harvest of your land, ye shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and thou shalt not gather that which falls from thy reaping. 10And thou shalt not go over the gathering of thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the remaining grapes of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God. 11Ye shall not steal, ye shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour. 12And ye shall not swear unjustly by my name, and ye shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God. 13Thou shalt not injure thy neighbour, neither do thou rob [him], neither shall the wages of thy hireling remain with thee until the morning. 14Thou shalt not revile the deaf, neither shalt thou put a stumbling-block in the way of the blind; and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord your God. 15Thou shalt not act unjustly in judgment: thou shalt not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shalt thou judge thy neighbour. 16Thou shalt not walk deceitfully among thy people; thou shalt not rise up against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord your God. 17Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, so thou shalt not bear sin on his account. 18And thy hand shall not avenge thee; and thou shalt not be angry with the children of thy people; and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; I am the Lord. 19Ye shall observe my law: thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with one of a different kind, and thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diverse seed; and thou shalt not put upon thyself a mingled garment woven of two [materials]. 20And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, [and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited [with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty. 21And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering. 22And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him. 23And whenever ye shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit-tree, then shall ye purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten. 24And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord. 25And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God. 26Eat not on the mountains, nor shall ye employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds. 27Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard. 28And ye shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and ye shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God. 29Thou shalt not profane thy daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity. 30Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord. 31Ye shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God. 32Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord your God. 33And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, ye shall not afflict him. 34The stranger that comes to you shall be among you as the native, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 35Ye shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales. 36There shall be among you just balances and just weights and a just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37And ye shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and ye shall do them: I am the Lord your God. Chapter 201And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Thou shalt also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones. 3And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me. 4And if the natives of the land should in anywise overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death; 5then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people. 6And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people. 7And ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy. 8And ye shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you. 9Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty. 10Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress. 11And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty. 12And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty. 13And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty. 14Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you. 15And whosoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and ye shall kill the beast. 16And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, ye shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty. 17Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin. 18And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation. 19And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister, or of the sister of thy mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity. 20Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless. 21Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless. 22And keep ye all my ordinances, and my judgments; and ye shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it. 23And walk ye not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them: 24and I said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people. 25And ye shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and ye shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness. 26And ye shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine. 27And [as for] a man or woman whosoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: ye shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 26:4–10(MT: 27)
MT Psalm 27 = LXX Psalm 26 (standard offset).
4Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompence unto them. 5Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up. 6Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition. 7The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him. 8The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed. 9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 10:10–12
10He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men; but he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker. 11[There is] a fountain of life in the hand of a righteous man; but destruction shall cover the mouth of the ungodly. 12Hatred stirs up strife; but affection covers all that do not love strife.
New TestamentKing James Version
Mark 5:1–20
1And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 4Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. 5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 8For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 10And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. 14And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. 15And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 16And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. 17And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. 18And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. 19Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. 20And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
