Leviticus 20
1 The Lord told Moses,
Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
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.
“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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
“‘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 dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
“‘Santificaos, pues, y sed santos, porque yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
8 Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
Guardarán mis estatutos y los pondrán en práctica. Yo soy Yahvé, que os santifico.
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.
“‘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 Any man who commits adultery with someone else's wife must be executed, as well as the woman.
“‘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 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.
“‘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 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.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con su nuera, ambos serán condenados a muerte. Han cometido una perversión. Su sangre caerá sobre ellos.
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.
“‘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 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.
“‘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 A man who has sex with an animal must be executed, and the animal must be killed too.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con un animal, será condenado a muerte; y matarás al animal.
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.
“‘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 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.
“‘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 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.
“‘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 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 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 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.
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 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.
“‘Si un hombre toma la mujer de su hermano, es una impureza. Ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermano. No tendrán 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.
“‘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 Don't follow the practices of the nations I'm expelling for you. I detested them because they did all these evil things.
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 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 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 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.
“‘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 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.
Seréis santos para mí, porque yo, Yahvé, soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos para que seáis míos.
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.”
“‘El hombre o la mujer que sea un médium o un mago serán condenados a muerte. Serán apedreados. Su sangre será sobre ellos”.
