Levítico 20
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
"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.
3 Los repudiaré y los expulsaré de su pueblo, porque al sacrificar sus hijos a Moloc, han contaminado mi santuario y deshonrado mi reputación.
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.
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.
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;
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 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.
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.
"'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.
7 “Así que dedíquense y sean santos, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios.
"'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am YHWH your God.
8 Guarden mis reglas y pónganlas en práctica. Yo soy el Señor que los santifica.
You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am YHWH who sanctifies you.
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.
"'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.

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.

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.
"'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.
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.

22 “Así que guarda todas mis reglas y regulaciones, para que la tierra donde te llevo a vivir no te vomite.
"'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.
23 No sigas las prácticas de las naciones que estoy expulsando por ti. Las detesté porque hicieron todas estas cosas malvadas.
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.
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 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.
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.
"'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.
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.
You shall be holy to me: for I, YHWH, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
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”.
"'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.'"
