Leviticus 20
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
2 “Say to the people of Israel, 'Anyone among the people of Israel, or any foreigner who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech, must certainly be put to death. The people in the land must stone him with stones.
“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 also will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given his child to Molech, so as to defile my holy place and profane my holy name.
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 people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they do not put him to death,
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 then I myself will set my face against that man and his clan, and I will cut him off and everyone else who prostitutes himself in order to play the harlot 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 The person who turns to those who talk with the dead, or to those who talk with spirits so as to prostitute themselves with them, I will set my face against that person; I will cut him off from among his people.
“‘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 Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
“‘Santificaos, pues, y sed santos, porque yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
8 You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as holy.
Guardarán mis estatutos y los pondrán en práctica. Yo soy Yahvé, que os santifico.
9 Everyone who curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, so he is guilty and deserves to die.
“‘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 The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, that is, anyone who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife—the adulterer and the adulteress must both certainly be put to death.
“‘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 If a man lies with his father's wife, he uncovers his father's nakedness. Both the son and his father's wife must certainly be put to death. Their blood is upon them.
“‘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 If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must certainly be put to death. They have committed perversion. They are guilty and deserve to die.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con su nuera, ambos serán condenados a muerte. Han cometido una perversión. Su sangre caerá sobre ellos.
13 If a man sleeps with another man, as with a woman, both of them have done something detestable. They must surely be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
“‘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 If a man marries a woman and also marries her mother, this is wickedness. They must be burned, both he and the women, so that there will be no 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 If a man sleeps with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
“‘Si un hombre se acuesta con un animal, será condenado a muerte; y matarás al animal.
16 If a woman approaches any animal to sleep with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must certainly be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
“‘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 If a man sleeps with his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and he uncovers her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They must be cut off from the presence of their people, because he has slept with his sister. He must carry his guilt.
“‘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 If a man sleeps with a woman during her menstrual period and has slept with her, he has uncovered the flow of her blood, the source of her blood. Both the man and woman must be cut off from among 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 You must not sleep with your mother's sister, or with your father's sister, because you would disgrace your close relative. You must carry your own guilt.
“‘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 If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin, and they will die without 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 If a man marries his brother's wife while his brother is still living, that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother, and I will take away from their children any property they may have inherited from their parents.
“‘Si un hombre toma la mujer de su hermano, es una impureza. Ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermano. No tendrán hijos.
22 You must therefore keep all my statutes and all my decrees; you must obey them so that the land into which I am bringing you to live will not vomit you up.
“‘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 You must not walk in the customs of the nations that I will drive out before you, for they have done all these things, and I detest them.
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 I said to you, “You will inherit their land; I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
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 You must therefore distinguish between the clean animals and the unclean, and between the unclean birds and the clean. You must not defile yourselves with unclean animals or birds or with any creature that crawls along the ground, which I have separated as unclean from 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 must be holy, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, for 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 A man or a woman who talks with the dead or who talks with spirits must certainly be put to death. The people must stone them with stones. They are guilty and deserve to die.'”
“‘El hombre o la mujer que sea un médium o un mago serán condenados a muerte. Serán apedreados. Su sangre será sobre ellos”.
