Leviticus 20
1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés y dijo:
2 "Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.
“Di a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier hombre de entre los hijos de Israel o de los extranjeros que habitan en Israel, si entregare uno de sus hijos a Moloc, será muerto irremisiblemente; el pueblo del país lo apedreará.
3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Yo mismo volveré mi rostro contra el tal hombre y lo extirparé de en medio de su pueblo, por haber dado un hijo suyo a Moloc, contaminando mi Santuario y profanando mi santo nombre.
4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death;
Si el pueblo del país apartare sus ojos de ese hombre que dio uno de sus hijos a Moloc, y no le diere muerte,
5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
yo mismo volveré mi rostro contra aquel hombre y contra su familia, y le extirparé de entre su pueblo, a él y a todos los que como él se prostituyan a Moloc.
6 "'The person that turns to spirits of the dead, and to familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
Si una persona consultare a los que evocan a los muertos, y a los que adivinan, fornicando en pos de ellos, Yo volveré mi rostro contra ella y la extirparé de en medio de su pueblo.
7 "'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am YHWH your God.
Santificaos y sed santos; porque Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am YHWH who sanctifies you.
Guardad mis leyes y cumplidlas. Yo soy Yahvé quien os santifico.
9 "'For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
Quien maldiga a su padre o a su madre será muerto sin remedio; ha maldecido a su padre o a su madre; recaiga sobre él su sangre.
10 "'The man who commits adultery with another man's wife shall surely be put to death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
El hombre que cometa adulterio con la mujer de otro, con la mujer de su prójimo, ambos serán muertos irremisiblemente, tanto el adúltero como la adúltera.
11 The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
El que se acueste con la mujer de su padre, descubre la desnudez de su padre; ambos serán muertos irremisiblemente; recaiga sobre ellos su sangre.
12 "'If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed a perversion; their blood shall be upon them.
El hombre que se acueste con su nuera, mueran ambos; han hecho cosa abominable; su sangre recaiga sobre ellos.
13 "'If a man has sexual relations with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
El que se acueste con varón, como se hace con mujer; ambos han cometido abominación: mueran irremisiblemente; su sangre recaiga sobre ellos.
14 "'If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.
Si uno toma por mujeres a la hija y a la madre, es un crimen. Serán entregados a las llamas tanto él como ellas, para que no haya tal crimen en medio de vosotros.
15 "'If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
El que se ayuntare con bestia, muera irremisiblemente. Mataréis también la bestia.
16 "'If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Si una mujer se acerca a una bestia para ayuntarse con ella, matarás a la mujer y a la bestia. Morirán irremisiblemente; recaiga sobre ellos su sangre.
17 "'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
El que tomare a su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre, viendo así la desnudez de ella, y ella viendo la desnudez de él, es cosa vergonzosa. Se les dará muerte en presencia de los hijos de su pueblo; ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermana; llevará su iniquidad.
18 "'If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
El que se acostare con mujer que padece la indisposición mensual, descubriendo la desnudez de ella, ha descubierto su flujo y ella también ha descubierto el flujo de su sangre. Ambos serán extirpados de entre su pueblo.
19 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity.
No descubras la desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, ni de la hermana de tu padre, porque es desnudar su propia carne; por eso llevarán su iniquidad.
20 If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
El que se acostare con su tía, descubre la desnudez de su tía. Llevarán su pecado; morirán sin prole.
21 "'If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
Si uno se casa con la mujer de su hermano, hace cosa impura, pues descubre la desnudez de su hermano; quedarán sin hijos.
22 "'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.
Guardad, pues, todas mis leyes y todos mis preceptos y cumplidlos, no sea que os vomite el país adonde os llevo para habitarlo.
23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
No caminéis según las costumbres de los pueblos que Yo voy a expulsar de vuestra vista; pues por haber hecho ellos todas esas cosas les tengo asco.
24 But I have said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am YHWH your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
Mas a vosotros os he dicho: Poseeréis su tierra, la que Yo os daré en herencia, tierra que mana leche y miel. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios, que os he separado de los demás pueblos.
25 "'You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
Habéis de hacer distinción entre animales puros e impuros, y entre aves impuras y puras; y no os contaminéis, ni con animales, ni con aves, ni con lo que anda arrastrándose por el suelo. Todas esas cosas os he señalado como impuras.
26 You shall be holy to me: for I, YHWH, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
Sed, pues, santos para Mí, porque Yo, Yahvé, soy santo; y os he elegido de entre los pueblos, para que seáis míos.
27 "'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.'"
El hombre o la mujer que evoque a los muertos o que se dedique a la adivinación muera irremisiblemente; serán apedreados; recaiga sobre ellos su sangre.”
