Levítico 20
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Diles a los israelitas: estas normas son para los israelitas y los extranjeros que viven entre ellos. Cualquiera que sacrifique sus hijos a Moloc debe ser ejecutado. La comunidad debe apedrearlos hasta la muerte.
Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land;
3 Los repudiaré y los expulsaré de su pueblo, porque al sacrificar sus hijos a Moloc, han contaminado mi santuario y deshonrado mi reputación.
And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common.
4 Si la comunidad decide mirar hacia otro lado y no ejecutar a aquellos que sacrifican sus hijos a Moloch, entonces yo mismo tomaré medidas contra ellos.
And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,
5 Los repudiaré a ellos y a su familia, y los expulsaré de su pueblo, y no sólo a ellos, sino a todos los que los sigan en la prostitución espiritual con Moloc.
Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people.
6 “También repudiaré y expulsaré de su gente a cualquiera que vaya a médiums o espiritistas y de esta manera cometa prostitución espiritual con ellos.
And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people.
7 “Así que dedíquense y sean santos, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios.
So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Guarden mis reglas y pónganlas en práctica. Yo soy el Señor que los santifica.
And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy.
9 “Cualquiera que maldiga a su padre o madre debe ser ejecutado. Han maldecido a su padre o madre; ellos son los responsables de su castigo.
Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him.
10 “Cualquier hombre que cometa adulterio con la esposa de otro debe ser ejecutado, así como la mujer.
And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death.
11 “Un hombre que tiene sexo con la esposa de su padre ha traído la vergüenza a su padre. Tanto el hombre como la mujer deben ser ejecutados. Ambos deben ser ejecutados; ellos son responsables de su castigo.
And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.
12 “Un hombre que tiene relaciones sexuales con su nuera debe ser ejecutado, así como ella. Han hecho algo perverso; ellos son los responsables de su castigo.

13 “Los hombres que tienen relaciones sexuales con otros hombres como con una mujer habrán hecho algo repugnante. Deben ser ejecutados; ellos son culpables de su castigo.
And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them.
14 “Un hombre que se casa con una mujer y con su madre ha actuado de manera perversa. Deben ser quemados hasta la muerte para que no haya tal maldad entre ustedes.
And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.
15 “El hombre que tenga relaciones sexuales con un animal debe ser ejecutado, y el animal debe ser matado también.
And if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the beast be put to destruction.
16 “Una mujer que se entrega a un animal para tener sexo con él debe ser ejecutada, junto con el animal. Ambos deben ser asesinados; ellos son responsables de su castigo.
And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them.
17 “Un hombre que se casa con su hermana, ya sea hija de su padre o de su madre, y tienen relaciones sexuales, ha hecho algo vergonzoso. Deben ser expulsados de su pueblo delante de todos. Ha avergonzado a su hermana; él tiene la responsabilidad de su castigo.
And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.
18 “Un hombre que tiene relaciones sexuales con una mujer que está teniendo su período ha expuesto de dónde proviene el flujo de sangre de ella, y ella también lo ha hecho. Ambos deben ser expulsados de su pueblo.
And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.
19 “No tengas relaciones sexuales con tu tía, ya sea por parte de tu padre o de tu madre, porque eso avergüenza a tu propia familia. Ambos serán responsables de su pecado.
And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them.

And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.
22 “Así que guarda todas mis reglas y regulaciones, para que la tierra donde te llevo a vivir no te vomite.
So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.
23 No sigas las prácticas de las naciones que estoy expulsando por ti. Las detesté porque hicieron todas estas cosas malvadas.
And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.
24 Pero te he prometido que te harás cargo de su tierra. Te la voy a dar en propiedad, una tierra que fluye con leche y miel. Yo soy el Señor tu Dios, que te ha hecho un pueblo distinto de todos los demás.
But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.
25 “Así que asegúrate de observar la diferencia entre las aves y animales limpios e inmundos. No se vuelvan inmundos por causa de ningún animal o ave, ni por nada que corra por la tierra. He dejado clara la diferencia: son inmundos para ustedes.
So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you.
26 Ustedes serán santos para mí porque yo soy santo. Yo soy el Señor, y los he hecho un pueblo distinto de todas las demás naciones. Ustedes me pertenecen.
And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.
27 “Todo hombre o mujer que sea médium o espiritista debe ser ejecutado. Deben ser apedreados hasta la muerte; ellos son responsables de su castigo”.
Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.
