Levítico 23
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Diles a los israelitas que estas son mis fiestas religiosas, las fiestas del Señor que debes llamar como tiempos sagrados en los que nos reuniremos.
“Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
3 Tienen seis días para trabajar, pero el séptimo día es un sábado de completo descanso, un día sagrado de reunión. No trabajarán. Es el Sábado del Señor en todos los lugares donde vivas.
“You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
4 “Estas son las fiestas religiosas del Señor, las reuniones sagradas en las que comieron para anunciar, en su fecha señalada:
“There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
5 La Pascua del Señor comienza en la tarde del día catorce del primer mes.
[The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
6 La fiesta del Señor de los panes sin levadura comienza el día quince del primer mes. Durante siete días el pan que coman debe ser hecho sin levadura.
The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
7 El primer día se celebra una reunión sagrada. No debes hacer ninguno de sus trabajos habituales.
On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
8 Durante siete días presentarás ofrendas de comida al Señor. Habrá una reunión sagrada el séptimo día. No debes hacer nada de tu trabajo habitual”.
On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
9 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
Yahweh also told Moses/me
10 “Diles a los israelitas que cuando entren en la tierra que yo les doy y recojansus cosechas, deben llevarle al sacerdote gran parte del grano de las primicias de su cosecha.
to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
11 Él agitará la pila de grano ante el Señor para que sea aceptada en su nombre. El sacerdote hará esto el día siguiente al sábado.
On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
12 Cuando agites la pila de grano, presentarás al Señor un cordero de un año sin defectos como holocausto,
That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
13 junto con su ofrenda de grano de dos décimas de efa de la mejor harina mezclada con aceite de oliva (una ofrenda de comida al Señor para ser aceptada por él) y su ofrenda de bebida de un cuarto de hin de vino.
You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
14 No comas pan, grano tostado o grano nuevo hasta el momento en que lleves esta ofrenda a tu Dios. Esta norma es para siempre y para las futuras generaciones en todos los lugares donde vivas.
Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
15 “Cuenta siete semanas completas desde el día después del sábado, el día que trajiste la pila de grano como ofrenda ondulada.
“Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
16 Cuenta cincuenta días hasta el día después del séptimo sábado, y en ese día presenta una ofrenda de grano nuevo al Señor.
on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
17 Traigan dos panes de sus casas como ofrenda mecida. Hacedlos de dos décimas de efa de la mejor harina, cocidos con levadura, como primicias para el Señor.
From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
18 Además del pan, presenten siete corderos machos de un año sin defectos, un novillo y dos carneros. Serán un holocausto para el Señor, así como sus ofrendas de grano y sus ofrendas de bebida, una ofrenda de comida para el Señor para ser aceptada por él.
Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
19 Presenten una cabra macho como ofrenda por el pecado y dos corderos macho de un año como ofrenda de paz.
Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
20 El sacerdote agitará los corderos como ofrenda mecida ante el Señor, junto con el pan de las primicias. El pan y los dos corderos son sagrados para el Señor y pertenecen al sacerdote.
The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
21 Ese mismo día anunciará una reunión santa, y no deberá hacer ningún trabajo habitual. Este reglamento es para todos los tiempos y para las generaciones futuras, dondequiera que vivan.
On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
22 “Cuando coseches los cultivos de tu tierra, no lo hagas hasta los bordes del campo, o recoge lo que se ha perdido. Déjalos para los pobres y los extranjeros. Yo soy el Señor tu Dios”.
“When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
23 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
Yahweh also told Moses/me
24 “Diles a los israelitas que el primer día del séptimo mes deben tener un sábado especial de completo descanso, una reunión santa que se anuncia con el sonido de las trompetas.
to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
25 No hagas nada de tu trabajo habitual, sino que debes presentar una ofrenda de comida al Señor”.
All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
26 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
27 “El Día de la Expiación es el décimo día de este séptimo mes. Celebrarán una reunión sagrada, negándose a sí mismos, y presentarán una ofrenda de comida al Señor.
“You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
28 En este día no debes hacer nada de tu trabajo habitual porque es el Día de la Expiación, cuando las cosas se arreglan para ti ante el Señor tu Dios.
You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
29 Cualquiera que no practique la el ayuno en este día debe ser expulsado de su pueblo.
You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
30 Destruiré a cualquiera de ustedes que haga cualquier trabajo en este día.
I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
31 No hagan ningún tipo de trabajo. Este reglamento es para siempre y para las futuras generaciones dondequiera que vivan.
You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
32 Será un sábado de completo descanso para ustedes, y ayunarán. Observaránsu sábado desde la tarde del noveno día del mes hasta la tarde del día siguiente”.
That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
33 El Señor dijo a Moisés,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
34 “Di a los israelitas que la fiesta de los tabernáculos para honrar al Señor comienza el día quince del séptimo mes y dura siete días.
“Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
35 El primer día tened una reunión sagrada. No debes hacer nada de tu trabajo habitual.
On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
36 Durante siete días presentarás ofrendas de comida al Señor. El octavo día tendrás otra reunión santa y presentarás una ofrenda al Señor. Es una reunión para la adoración. No debes hacer nada de tu trabajo habitual.
On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
37 “Estas son las fiestas sagradas del Señor, que anunciarán como reuniones sagradas para presentar ofrendas de comida al Señor. Estas incluyen holocaustos, ofrendas de grano, sacrificios y ofrendas de bebida, cada una de ellas de acuerdo al día específico.
“[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
38 Todas estas ofrendas son adicionales a las de los sábados del Señor. También son adicionales a tus regalos, a todas tus ofrendas para cumplir promesas, y a todas las ofrendas voluntarias que presentas al Señor.
(Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
39 “Celebrarán una fiesta en honor del Señor durante siete días, el día quince del séptimo mes, una vez que hayas cosechado sus cosechas. El primer día y el octavo día son sábados de completo descanso.
“[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
40 El primer día recogerás ramas de árboles grandes, de palmeras, de árboles frondosos y de sauces de río, y celebrarás ante el Señor tu Dios durante siete días.
But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
41 Celebraránesta fiesta para honrar al Señor durante siete días cada año. Este reglamento es para todos los tiempos y para todas las generaciones futuras.
You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
42 “Vivirás en refugios temporales por siete días. Todo israelita nacido en el país debe vivir en refugios,
During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
43 para que sus descendientes recuerden que yo hice vivir a los israelitas en refugios cuando los saqué de Egipto. Yo soy el Señor tu Dios”.
That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
44 Así que Moisés les contó a los israelitas todo sobre las fiestas del Señor.
So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
