Leviticus 20
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
2 “And you say to the sons of Israel: Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who gives to the Molech from his seed, is certainly put to death; the people of the land stone him with stone;
Dí a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, o de los extranjeros que peregrinen en Israel, que entregue a alguno de sus hijos a Moloc, morirá sin perdón. El pueblo de la tierra lo lapidará.
3 and I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for he has given to the Molech from his seed, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to defile My holy Name.
Yo levantaré mi rostro contra ese varón y lo cortaré de su pueblo, por cuanto entregó a uno de su descendencia a Moloc, con lo cual contaminó mi Santuario y profanó mi santo Nombre.
4 And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving to the Molech from his seed, so as not to put him to death,
Si el pueblo de la tierra cierra sus ojos para no ver al hombre que entregó alguno de sus descendientes a Moloc, y no lo mata,
5 then I have set My face against that man and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going whoring after him, even going whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.
entonces Yo mismo pondré mi rostro contra ese varón y contra su familia. Lo cortaré de su pueblo, junto con todos los que fornicaron tras él al prostituírse por seguir a Moloc.
6 And the person who turns to those having familiar spirits, and to the wizards, to go whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.
Si alguno acude a los que evocan espíritus de los muertos para prostituirse tras ellos, Yo pondré mi rostro contra él y lo cortaré de su pueblo.
7 And you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] your God YHWH;
Santifíquense. Sean santos, porque Yo, Yavé soy su ʼElohim.
8 and you have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you.
Guarden mis Estatutos y practíquenlos. Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica.
9 For any man who reviles his father and his mother is certainly put to death; he has reviled his father and his mother: his blood [is] on him.
Cualquiera que maldiga a su padre o a su madre, ciertamente morirá. Maldijo a su padre o a su madre. Su sangre recaerá sobre él.
10 And a man who commits adultery with a man’s wife—who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor—the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.
Si un hombre adultera con la esposa de otro, si adultera con la esposa de su prójimo, el adúltero y la adúltera ciertamente morirán.
11 And a man who lies with his father’s wife—he has uncovered the nakedness of his father—both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
El que se una con la esposa de su padre, descubre la desnudez de su padre. Ambos ciertamente morirán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.
12 And a man who lies with his daughter-in-law—both of them are certainly put to death; they have done perversion; their blood [is] on them.
Si alguno se une con su nuera, ambos ciertamente morirán. Cometieron una perversidad. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.
13 And a man who lies with a male as one lies with a woman—both of them have done an abomination; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
Si un hombre se une con otro varón como se une con mujer, los dos cometen una repugnancia. Ambos ciertamente morirán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.
14 And a man who takes the woman and her mother—it [is] wickedness; they burn him and them with fire, and there is no wickedness in your midst.
El que tome a una esposa y a la madre de ella, comete perversidad. Tanto él como ellas serán quemados con fuego para que no haya perversidad entre ustedes.
15 And a man who commits his intercourse with a beast is certainly put to death, and you slay the beast.
Si un varón se une con un animal ciertamente morirá. Matarás también el animal.
16 And a woman who draws near to any beast to mate with it—you have even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
Si una mujer se une a un animal para ayuntarse con él, matarás a la mujer y al animal. Ciertamente morirán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.
17 And a man who takes his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he has seen her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness—it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; he has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he bears his iniquity.
Si un varón toma a su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre, y ve la desnudez de ella, y ella ve la desnudez de él, eso es repugnante. Por tanto, serán exterminados en presencia de los hijos de su pueblo, porque descubrió la desnudez de su hermana y recaerá su iniquidad sobre él.
18 And a man who lies with a sick woman and has uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he has made bare, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood—even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.
Si alguien se une con mujer menstruosa, descubre su desnudez y su fuente, y ella descubrió el flujo de su sangre, ambos serán exterminados de su pueblo.
19 And you do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister and your father’s sister, because his relation he has made bare; they bear their iniquity.
No descubrirás la desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, ni de la hermana de tu padre, porque es desnudez de un pariente. Recaerá sobre ellos su iniquidad.
20 And a man who lies with his aunt, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they bear their sin; they die childless.
El hombre que se una con la esposa del hermano de su padre, descubre la desnudez de su tío. Llevarán su pecado: Morirán sin hijos.
21 And a man who takes his brother’s wife—it [is] impurity; he has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they are childless.
El hombre que tome la esposa de su hermano comete una impureza. Descubrió la desnudez de su hermano. Quedarán sin hijos.
22 And you have kept all My statutes and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land does not vomit you out to where I am bringing you in to dwell in it;
Ustedes observarán todos mis Estatutos y todas mis Ordenanzas, y los practicarán. Así no los vomitará la tierra a la cual Yo los llevo para que vivan en ella.
23 and you do not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for they have done all these, and I am wearied with them.
No seguirán las costumbres de los pueblos que Yo echo de delante de ustedes, porque ellos practicaron tales cosas y Yo los repugné.
24 And I say to you, You possess their ground, and I give it to you to possess it—a land flowing with milk and honey. I [am] your God YHWH, who has separated you from the peoples.
Pero a ustedes les dije: Ustedes poseerán la tierra de ellos, y Yo se la daré para que la posean, tierra que fluye leche y miel. ¡Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim, Quien los apartó de entre los pueblos!
25 And you have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the pure, and you do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or by anything which creeps [on] the ground which I have separated to you for unclean.
Ustedes harán diferencia entre animal limpio e impuro, y entre ave limpia e impura. No sean detestables a causa de animales, de aves, o de cualquier cosa que se arrastra sobre la tierra, los cuales aparté como impuros.
26 And you have been holy to Me, for I, YHWH, [am] holy; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
Me serán santos, porque Yo, Yavé, soy santo, y los aparté de los pueblos para que sean míos.
27 And a man or woman, when there is a familiar spirit in them, or who [are] wizards, are certainly put to death; they stone them with stone; their blood [is] on them.”
El hombre o la mujer que evoque espíritus de muertos, o sea adivino, ciertamente morirá. Los apedrearán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.
