Leviticus 20
1 The Lord told Moses,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
2 “Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
“Diles a los israelitas: estas normas son para los israelitas y los extranjeros que viven entre ellos. Cualquiera que sacrifique sus hijos a Moloc debe ser ejecutado. La comunidad debe apedrearlos hasta la muerte.
3 I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
Los repudiaré y los expulsaré de su pueblo, porque al sacrificar sus hijos a Moloc, han contaminado mi santuario y deshonrado mi reputación.
4 If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
Si la comunidad decide mirar hacia otro lado y no ejecutar a aquellos que sacrifican sus hijos a Moloch, entonces yo mismo tomaré medidas contra ellos.
5 I will disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
Los repudiaré a ellos y a su familia, y los expulsaré de su pueblo, y no sólo a ellos, sino a todos los que los sigan en la prostitución espiritual con Moloc.
6 I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
“También repudiaré y expulsaré de su gente a cualquiera que vaya a médiums o espiritistas y de esta manera cometa prostitución espiritual con ellos.
7 So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
“Así que dedíquense y sean santos, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios.
8 Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
Guarden mis reglas y pónganlas en práctica. Yo soy el Señor que los santifica.
9 Anyone who curses their father or mother must be executed. They have cursed their father or mother; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
“Cualquiera que maldiga a su padre o madre debe ser ejecutado. Han maldecido a su padre o madre; ellos son los responsables de su castigo.
10 Any man who commits adultery with someone else's wife must be executed, as well as the woman.
“Cualquier hombre que cometa adulterio con la esposa de otro debe ser ejecutado, así como la mujer.
11 A man who has sex with his father's wife has brought shame on his father. Both the man and the woman must be executed. Both must surely be put to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
“Un hombre que tiene sexo con la esposa de su padre ha traído la vergüenza a su padre. Tanto el hombre como la mujer deben ser ejecutados. Ambos deben ser ejecutados; ellos son responsables de su castigo.
12 A man who has sex with his daughter-in-law must be executed, as well as the woman. They have done something perverse; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
“Un hombre que tiene relaciones sexuales con su nuera debe ser ejecutado, así como ella. Han hecho algo perverso; ellos son los responsables de su castigo.
13 Men who have sex with other men as with a woman have done something disgusting. They must be executed; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
“Los hombres que tienen relaciones sexuales con otros hombres como con una mujer habrán hecho algo repugnante. Deben ser ejecutados; ellos son culpables de su castigo.
14 A man who marries both a woman and her mother has acted perversely. They must all be burned to death so that there will be no such wickedness among you.
“Un hombre que se casa con una mujer y con su madre ha actuado de manera perversa. Deben ser quemados hasta la muerte para que no haya tal maldad entre ustedes.
15 A man who has sex with an animal must be executed, and the animal must be killed too.
“El hombre que tenga relaciones sexuales con un animal debe ser ejecutado, y el animal debe ser matado también.
16 A woman who gives herself to an animal to have sex with it must be executed, along with the animal. They must both be killed; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
“Una mujer que se entrega a un animal para tener sexo con él debe ser ejecutada, junto con el animal. Ambos deben ser asesinados; ellos son responsables de su castigo.
17 A man who marries his sister, whether she's his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and they have sex, has done something shameful. They must be expelled from their people in front of everybody. He has brought shame on his sister; he bears the responsibility for his punishment.
“Un hombre que se casa con su hermana, ya sea hija de su padre o de su madre, y tienen relaciones sexuales, ha hecho algo vergonzoso. Deben ser expulsados de su pueblo delante de todos. Ha avergonzado a su hermana; él tiene la responsabilidad de su castigo.
18 A man who has sex with a woman having her period he has exposed where her blood flow comes from, and she has too. They must both be expelled from their people.
“Un hombre que tiene relaciones sexuales con una mujer que está teniendo su período ha expuesto de dónde proviene el flujo de sangre de ella, y ella también lo ha hecho. Ambos deben ser expulsados de su pueblo.
19 Don't have sex with your aunt, whether on your father or your mother's side, because it brings shame on your own family. Both will bear responsibility for their sin.
“No tengas relaciones sexuales con tu tía, ya sea por parte de tu padre o de tu madre, porque eso avergüenza a tu propia familia. Ambos serán responsables de su pecado.
20 A man who has sex with his uncle's wife brings shame on his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin; they shall die without having children.
“Un hombre que tiene sexo con la esposa de su tío trae vergüenza a su tío. Ellos serán responsables de su pecado; morirán sin tener hijos.
21 A man who marries his brother's wife does something that is unclean. He has brought shame on his brother; the couple will have no children.
“Un hombre que se casa con la mujer de su hermano hace algo que es impuro. Ha avergonzado a su hermano; la pareja no tendrá hijos.
22 So keep all my rules and regulations, so that the land where I'm taking you to live won't vomit you out.
“Así que guarda todas mis reglas y regulaciones, para que la tierra donde te llevo a vivir no te vomite.
23 Don't follow the practices of the nations I'm expelling for you. I detested them because they did all these evil things.
No sigas las prácticas de las naciones que estoy expulsando por ti. Las detesté porque hicieron todas estas cosas malvadas.
24 But I have promised you that you will take over their land. I'm going to give it to you to own, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has made you a distinctive people different from all others.
Pero te he prometido que te harás cargo de su tierra. Te la voy a dar en propiedad, una tierra que fluye con leche y miel. Yo soy el Señor tu Dios, que te ha hecho un pueblo distinto de todos los demás.
25 So make sure you observe the difference between clean and unclean animals and birds. Don't make yourselves unclean because of any animal or bird, or by anything that runs along the ground. I have made the difference clear: they are unclean for you.
“Así que asegúrate de observar la diferencia entre las aves y animales limpios e inmundos. No se vuelvan inmundos por causa de ningún animal o ave, ni por nada que corra por la tierra. He dejado clara la diferencia: son inmundos para ustedes.
26 You shall be holy to me because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I have made you a distinctive people different from all other nations. You belong to me.
Ustedes serán santos para mí porque yo soy santo. Yo soy el Señor, y los he hecho un pueblo distinto de todas las demás naciones. Ustedes me pertenecen.
27 Anyone, man or a woman, who is a medium or a spiritist must be executed. They are to be stoned to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.”
“Todo hombre o mujer que sea médium o espiritista debe ser ejecutado. Deben ser apedreados hasta la muerte; ellos son responsables de su castigo”.
