וּמַלִּיל יְיָ עִם משֶׁה לְמֵימָר:
Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying:
וְעִם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל תֵּימַר גְּבַר גְּבַר מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִין גִּיּוֹרָא דְּיִתְגַּיְרוּן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל דִּי יִתֵּן מִזַּרְעֵיהּ לְמוֹלֶךְ אִתְקְטָלָא יִתְקְטֵל עַמָּא בֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל יִרְגְּמֻנֵּיהּ בְּאַבְנָא:
And to Bnei Yisrael you shall say: that each and every man of Bnei Yisroel and from the proselytes that reside [convert] in Israel, who will give any of his children to Molech, [that] he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land [House of Israel] shall stone him to death.
וַאֲנָא אֶתֵּן יָת רוּגְזִי בְּגַבְרָא הַהוּא וֶאֱשֵׁיצֵי יָתֵיהּ מִגּוֹ עַמֵּיהּ אֲרֵי מִזַּרְעֵיהּ יְהַב לְמוֹלֶךְ בְּדִיל לְסָאֲבָא יָת מַקְדְּשִׁי וּלְאַחַלָּא יָת שְׁמָא דְקוּדְשִׁי:
I shall direct My wrath on that man and I shall cut him off from among his people, for he gave of his children to Molech, in order to defile My Sanctuary and profane My Holy Name.
וְאִם מִכְבַּשׁ יִכְבְּשׁוּן עַמָּא בֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל יָת עֵינֵיהוֹן מִן גַּבְרָא הַהוּא בִּדְיָהֵב מִזַּרְעֵיהּ לְמוֹלֶךְ בְּדִיל דְּלָא לְקַטָּלָא יָתֵיהּ:
If the people of the land [House of Israel] will hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his children to Molech, and they do not put him to death.
וֶאֱשַׁוֵּי אֲנָא יָת רוּגְזִי בְּגַבְרָא הַהוּא וּבִסְעָדוֹהִי וֶאֱשֵׁיצֵי יָתֵיהּ וְיָת כָּל דְּטָעָן בַּתְרוֹהִי לְמִטְעֵי בָּתַר מוֹלֶךְ מִגּוֹ עַמְּהוֹן:
I shall set My wrath against that man and his family [supporters]; I shall cut him off, along with all those who go astray after him to go astray after Molech, [they will be cut off] from among their people.
וֶאֱנַשׁ דִּי יִתְפְּנֵי בָּתַר בִּדִּין וּדְכוּרוּ לְמִטְעֵי בַתְרֵיהוֹן וְאֶתֵּן יָת רוּגְזִי בַּאֲנָשָׁא הַהִיא וֶאֱשֵׁיצֵי יָתֵיהּ מִגּוֹ עַמֵּיהּ:
The person who turns to mediums and oracles to stray after them; I shall direct My wrath against that person and cut him off from among his people.
וְתִתְקַדְּשׁוּן וּתְהוֹן קַדִּישִׁין אֲרֵי אֲנָא יְיָ אֱלָהָכוֹן:
You shall sanctify yourselves and be holy for I am Adonoy, your God.
וְתִטְּרוּן יָת קְיָמַי וְתַעְבְּדוּן יָתְהוֹן אֲנָא יְיָ מְקַדִּשְׁכוֹן:
You must keep My statutes and do [observe] them. I am Adonoy who sanctifies you.
