Levítico 20
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
Yahweh 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.
“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.
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 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.
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 close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they 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 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.
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 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.
7 “Así que dedíquense y sean santos, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios.
Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
8 Guarden mis reglas y pónganlas en práctica. Yo soy el Señor que los santifica.
You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as 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.
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.
10 “Cualquier hombre que cometa adulterio con la esposa de otro debe ser ejecutado, así como la mujer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
15 “El hombre que tenga relaciones sexuales con un animal debe ser ejecutado, y el animal debe ser matado también.
If a man sleeps with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
20 “Un hombre que tiene sexo con la esposa de su tío trae vergüenza a su tío. Ellos serán responsables de su pecado; morirán sin tener hijos.
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.
21 “Un hombre que se casa con la mujer de su hermano hace algo que es impuro. Ha avergonzado a su hermano; la pareja no tendrá hijos.
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.
22 “Así que guarda todas mis reglas y regulaciones, para que la tierra donde te llevo a vivir no te vomite.
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.
23 No sigas las prácticas de las naciones que estoy expulsando por ti. Las detesté porque hicieron todas estas cosas malvadas.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 must be holy, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, for you belong to me.
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 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.'”
