Leviticus 19
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Habló Yahvé a Moisés, diciendo:
2 “Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
“Habla a toda la Congregación de los hijos de Israel y diles: Sed santos; porque Yo, Yahvé vuestro Dios, soy santo.
3 ‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
Respete cada cual a su madre y a su padre, y guardad mis sábados. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
4 ‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
No os volváis hacia los ídolos, ni os hagáis dioses fundidos. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
5 ‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
Cuando presentéis un sacrificio pacífico a Yahvé, ofrecedlo voluntariamente.
6 The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
La víctima se ha de comer el mismo día en que la inmolareis, y al día siguiente; y lo que sobrare hasta el día tercero, será entregado al fuego.
7 For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
Si se comiere algo al tercer día, estando ya en putrefacción, no será acepto.
8 I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
El que lo coma pagará su iniquidad; porque está profanando lo consagrado a Yahvé. Tal persona será extirpada de entre su pueblo.
9 ‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
En la recolección de la mies de vuestra tierra no segarás hasta el límite de tu campo, ni respigaras los restos de tu mies.
10 And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
Tampoco harás rebusca en tu viña, ni recogerás en tu viña las uvas caídas; las dejarás para el pobre y para el extranjero. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
11 ‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
No hurtaréis; no usaréis de engaño o mentira entre vosotros.
12 ‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
No juraréis en falso por mi nombre, ni profanarás el nombre de Dios. Yo soy Yahvé.
13 ‘Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. [‘If you have agreed to] pay your workers at the end of the day, [do what you have promised]; do not keep those wages until the next day.
No oprimirás a tu prójimo, ni le despojarás. No quede el salario del jornalero en tu mano hasta el día siguiente.
14 ‘Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.
No maldecirás al sordo, ni pondrás tropiezo ante el ciego, sino que temerás a tu Dios. Yo soy Yahvé.
15 ‘Always [LIT] judge people fairly [DOU]. Do not do special favors for either poor people or rich people.
Siendo juez no hagas injusticia, ni en favor del pobre, ni por respeto al grande. Juzgarás a tu prójimo según justicia.
16 ‘Do not spread false rumors about other people. ‘Do not say anything [in court] that would result in some [innocent] person being executed. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
No andes sembrando calumnias por entre tu pueblo; no te cruces de brazos cuando esté en peligro la vida de tu prójimo. Yo soy Yahvé.
17 ‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
No odies en tu corazón a tu hermano, pero reprende a tu prójimo, para que no lleves pecado por él.
18 ‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
No tomarás venganza, ni guardarás rencor contra los hijos de tu pueblo. Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Yo soy Yahvé.
19 ‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
Guardad mis mandamientos. No hagas que tus bestias se mezclen con las de otra especie. No siembres tu campo con dos clases distintas de semillas. No lleves vestido tejido de dos clases de hilo.
20 ‘If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
Si un hombre duerme con una mujer, teniendo con ella comercio carnal, y ella es sierva y desposada a otro, sin que haya sido rescatada, ni puesta en libertad, serán castigados (ambos), mas no con la muerte, porque ella no era libre.
21 However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
El hombre ofrecerá por su culpa a Yahvé un carnero, como sacrificio por el delito, a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión.
22 The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.
Con el carnero ofrecido por el delito el sacerdote hará expiación por él ante Yahvé por el pecado cometido, y se le perdonará este pecado.
23 ‘When you enter the land [that I have promised to give to you], and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years [DOU].
Cuando después de entrar en la tierra plantéis todo género de árboles frutales, consideraréis su fruto como incircunciso; por tres años lo consideraréis como incircunciso; no se comerá.
24 In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
Al cuarto año todos sus frutos serán consagrados en loor de Yahvé.
25 But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].
Y desde el quinto año comeréis de su fruto; rendirán entonces mayor fruto. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
26 ‘Do not eat any meat that still has [the animal’s] blood in it. ‘Do not consult spirits to find out what will happen in the future, and do not practice sorcery.
No comáis nada con sangre. No practiquéis adivinación, ni magia.
27 ‘Do not shave the hair at the sides of your heads [like pagan people do].
No raeréis en forma redonda las extremidades de vuestra cabellera, ni cortarás los bordes de tu barba.
28 ‘Do not cut your bodies [when you are mourning] for people who have died, and do not put tattoos on your bodies. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
No haréis sajaduras en vuestra carne, a causa de un muerto; ni os imprimiréis tatuaje. Yo soy Yahvé.
29 ‘Do not disgrace your daughters by forcing them to become prostitutes. If you cause them to become prostitutes, soon the land will be filled with prostitutes and all other kinds of people’s wicked behavior.
No profanarás a tu hija, prostituyéndola; no sea que la tierra se entregue a la fornicación y se llene de maldad.
30 ‘Honor my Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
Guardad mis sábados y respetad mi Santuario. Yo soy Yahvé,
31 ‘Do not seek advice from those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people [DOU], because if you do that, they will defile you. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one you should consult].
No consultéis a los que evocan a los muertos, ni a los adivinos. No andéis en busca de ellos para no contaminaros con ellos. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
32 ‘Stand up when old people [enter the room], and show that you respect them, and also revere me, your God; [that is what] I, Yahweh, [am commanding].
Levántate ante las canas y honra el rostro del anciano. Teme a tu Dios. Yo soy Yahvé.
33 ‘When foreigners live among you [in your land], do not mistreat them.
Cuando un extranjero morare entre vosotros, en vuestra tierra, no le oprimáis.
34 You must treat them like you treat your fellow-citizens. Love them like you love yourselves, and do not forget that once, when you were foreigners in Egypt, [you were badly mistreated by the people of Egypt]. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding you to do this].
El extranjero que morare entre vosotros, os sea como uno de vuestro pueblo. Le amarás como a ti mismo; pues extranjeros habéis sido vosotros en la tierra de Egipto. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
35 ‘When you are measuring things, to see how long they are or how much they weigh or how many there are,
No hagáis injusticia en los juicios, ni en las medidas de longitud, ni en el peso, ni en las medidas de capacidad.
36 use correct [measuring sticks and] scales and weights [on the scales] and measuring baskets and other measuring containers. I Yahweh, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, [am giving you these laws].
Tened balanza justa, peso justo, efa justo e hin justo. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios, que os saqué del país de Egipto.
37 ‘Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws and decrees, because I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding them].’”
Guardad todos mis preceptos y todos mis mandamientos, y ponedlos en práctica. Yo soy Yahvé.”
