Leviticus 20
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
2 Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land;
“Además, dirás a los hijos de Israel: ‘Cualquiera de los hijos de Israel, o de los extranjeros que vivan como forasteros en Israel, que entregue alguno de sus vástagos a Moloc, morirá. El pueblo del país apedreará a esa persona con piedras.
3 And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common.
Yo también pondré mi rostro contra esa persona, y la cortaré de entre su pueblo, porque ha dado de su descendencia a Moloc, para profanar mi santuario, y para profanar mi santo nombre.
4 And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,
Si todos los pueblos de la tierra esconden sus ojos de esa persona cuando da de su descendencia a Moloc, y no le dan muerte,
5 Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people.
entonces yo pondré mi rostro contra ese hombre y contra su familia, y lo cortaré de entre su pueblo, y a todos los que se prostituyen después de él para prostituirse con Moloc.
6 And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people.
“‘La persona que se vuelve a los que son médiums y magos, para jugar a la prostitución después de ellos, incluso pondré mi cara contra esa persona, y la cortaré de entre su pueblo.
7 So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God.
“‘Santificaos, pues, y sed santos, porque yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
8 And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy.
Guardarán mis estatutos y los pondrán en práctica. Yo soy Yahvé, que os santifico.
9 Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him.
“‘Porque todo el que maldiga a su padre o a su madre será condenado a muerte. Ha maldecido a su padre o a su madre. Su sangre caerá sobre él.
10 And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death.
“‘El hombre que comete adulterio con la mujer de otro hombre, incluso el que comete adulterio con la mujer de su prójimo, el adúltero y la adúltera serán condenados a muerte.
11 And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.
“‘El hombre que se acuesta con la mujer de su padre ha descubierto la desnudez de su padre. Ambos serán condenados a muerte. Su sangre será sobre ellos.
12 And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con su nuera, ambos serán condenados a muerte. Han cometido una perversión. Su sangre caerá sobre ellos.
13 And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con un varón como con una mujer, ambos han cometido una abominación. Serán condenados a muerte. Su sangre será sobre ellos mismos.
14 And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.
“‘Si un hombre toma una esposa y a su madre, es una maldad. Serán quemados con fuego, tanto él como ellas, para que no haya maldad entre vosotros.
15 And if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the beast be put to destruction.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con un animal, será condenado a muerte; y matarás al animal.
16 And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them.
“‘Si una mujer se acerca a un animal y se acuesta con él, matarás a la mujer y al animal. Serán condenados a muerte. Su sangre caerá sobre ellos.
17 And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.
“‘Si un hombre toma a su hermana — la hija de su padre o de su madre — y ve su desnudez, y ella ve la suya, es cosa vergonzosa. Serán cortados a la vista de los hijos de su pueblo. Él ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermana. Llevará su iniquidad.
18 And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con una mujer que tiene su menstruación y descubre su desnudez, él ha desnudado su fuente, y ella ha descubierto la fuente de su sangre. Ambos serán cortados de entre su pueblo.
19 And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them.
“‘No descubrirás la desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, ni la de la hermana de tu padre, porque ha desnudado a su pariente cercano. Ellos cargarán con su iniquidad.
20 And if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children.
Si un hombre se acuesta con la mujer de su tío, ha descubierto la desnudez de su tío. Ellos cargarán con su pecado. Morirán sin hijos.
21 And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.
“‘Si un hombre toma la mujer de su hermano, es una impureza. Ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermano. No tendrán hijos.
22 So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.
“‘Por lo tanto, guardaréis todos mis estatutos y todas mis ordenanzas, y los pondréis en práctica, para que la tierra donde os traigo a vivir no os vomite.
23 And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.
No andarás en las costumbres de la nación que estoy echando delante de ti; porque ellos hicieron todas estas cosas, y por eso los aborrecí.
24 But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.
Pero a vosotros os he dicho: “Heredaréis su tierra, y os la daré para que la poseáis, una tierra que mana leche y miel”. Yo soy Yahvé, tu Dios, que te ha separado de los pueblos.
25 So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you.
“‘Por tanto, distinguiréis entre el animal limpio y el impuro, y entre las aves impuras y las limpias. No os haréis abominables con ningún animal, ni con ninguna ave, ni con nada de lo que abunda en la tierra, que yo he separado de vosotros como impuro para vosotros.
26 And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.
Seréis santos para mí, porque yo, Yahvé, soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos para que seáis míos.
27 Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.
“‘El hombre o la mujer que sea un médium o un mago serán condenados a muerte. Serán apedreados. Su sangre será sobre ellos”.
