Leviticus 19
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
2 Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.
Habla a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel: Sean santos, porque Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim, soy santo.
3 Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
Cada uno respete a su madre y a su padre, y guarde mis sábados. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
4 Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
No se vuelvan a los ídolos. No hagan ʼelohim de fundición. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
5 And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.
Cuando ofrezcan un sacrificio de paz a Yavé, ofrézcanlo de tal manera que ustedes sean aceptados.
6 Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.
Se comerá el mismo día que lo sacrifiquen o el día siguiente, pero lo que quede para el tercer día será quemado al fuego.
7 If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.
Si se come al tercer día, será cosa repugnante. No será aceptado.
8 And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.
El que lo coma, cargará su iniquidad por profanar lo santo de Yavé, y será cortado de su pueblo.
9 And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.
Al recoger la cosecha de su tierra, no cosecharás hasta el último rincón de tu campo ni rebuscarás las espigas de tu cosecha.
10 And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.
Tampoco rebuscarás tu viña, ni recogerás los frutos caídos de tu viña, sino que los dejarás para el pobre y el extranjero. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
11 Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.
No robarás, ni mentirás, ni se engañen unos a otros.
12 And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
No jurarás por mi Nombre en falso, pues profanarás así el Nombre de tu ʼElohim. Yo, Yavé.
13 Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.
No oprimirás a tu prójimo ni le robarás. El salario del jornalero no pernoctará en tu poder hasta la mañana siguiente.
14 Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.
No maldecirás al sordo, ni ante un ciego pondrás tropiezo, sino tendrás temor de tu ʼElohim. Yo, Yavé.
15 Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.
No cometerás injusticia en el juicio. No favorecerás al pobre ni honrarás al grande. Con rectitud juzgarás a tu prójimo.
16 Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.
No difamarás en medio de tu pueblo, ni harás algo contra la vida de tu prójimo. Yo, Yavé.
17 Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.
No aborrecerás en tu corazón a tu hermano. Reprenderás firmemente a tu prójimo, para que no incurras en pecado por su causa.
18 Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.
No te vengarás, ni guardarás rencor contra los hijos de tu pueblo, sino amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Yo, Yavé.
19 Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.
Guardarás mis Estatutos. No harás ayuntar a tu bestia con otra especie, ni sembrarás tu campo con dos semillas. Tampoco te pondrás ropa con dos clases de tejido.
20 If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.
Si un hombre se une con una mujer y hay emisión de semen, y ella es una esclava comprometida con alguno, pero no fue realmente rescatada ni se le dio libertad, se hará una investigación. Pero no morirán, porque ella no es libre.
21 Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.
El hombre presentará su ofrenda por la culpa a Yavé en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión: un carnero como ofrenda por la culpa.
22 And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.
El sacerdote hará sacrificio que apacigua por él delante de Yavé con el carnero de la ofrenda por la culpa, por el pecado que cometió. Le será perdonado.
23 And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.
Cuando entres en la tierra y plantes toda clase de árboles frutales, considerarán como incircunciso su primer fruto. Por tres años les será incircunciso y su fruto no se comerá.
24 And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.
Al cuarto año todo su fruto será consagrado con alabanzas a Yavé,
25 But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.
y al quinto año podrán comer su fruto. Así les aumentará su cosecha. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
26 Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.
Nada comerán con sangre. No practicarán adivinación ni brujería.
27 The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.
No harás tonsura en tu coronilla, ni dañarás la punta de tu barba.
28 You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.
No harán sajaduras en su cuerpo a causa de algún difunto, ni grabarán tatuajes sobre sus cuerpos. Yo, Yavé.
29 Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.
No profanarás a tu hija al incitarla a que se prostituya, no sea que la tierra se prostituya, y se llene de perversión.
30 Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.
Observarán mis sábados, y tendrán temor reverente a mi Santuario. Yo, Yavé.
31 Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
No se vuelvan a los que evocan espíritus de muertos, ni a los adivinos, ni los busques para ser contaminados por ellos. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
32 Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.
En presencia de las canas te pondrás en pie. Honrarás la presencia de un anciano y tendrás temor a tu ʼElohim. Yo, Yavé.
33 And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;
Cuando algún extranjero viva contigo en tu tierra, no lo oprimirás.
34 Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Como a uno nacido entre ustedes les será el extranjero que resida con ustedes. Lo amarás como a ti mismo, porque fueron extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
35 Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.
No harán injusticia en el juicio, ni en la medida de longitud, ni en la de peso, ni en la de capacidad.
36 Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;
Tendrán balanzas justas, pesas justas, efa justo e hin justo. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim, Quien los sacó de la tierra de Egipto.
37 You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.
Guardarán, pues, todos mis Estatutos y todos mis Decretos y los pondrán en práctica. Yo, Yavé.
