Levítico 20
1 Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “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.
You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.
3 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.
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
4 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,
And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
5 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.
then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
6 “‘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.
And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.
7 “‘Santificaos, pues, y sed santos, porque yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
8 Guardarán mis estatutos y los pondrán en práctica. Yo soy Yahvé, que os santifico.
And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.
9 “‘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.
Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
10 “‘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.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 “‘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.
And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
12 “‘Si un hombre se acuesta con su nuera, ambos serán condenados a muerte. Han cometido una perversión. Su sangre caerá sobre ellos.
And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
13 “‘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.
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
14 “‘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.
Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.
15 “‘Si un hombre se acuesta con un animal, será condenado a muerte; y matarás al animal.
And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.
16 “‘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.
And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.
17 “‘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.
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
18 “‘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.
And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.
19 “‘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.
And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 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.
Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.
21 “‘Si un hombre toma la mujer de su hermano, es una impureza. Ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermano. No tendrán hijos.
Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.
22 “‘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.
And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgments; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.
23 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.
And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:
24 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.
and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.
25 “‘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.
And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
26 Seréis santos para mí, porque yo, Yahvé, soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos para que seáis míos.
And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.
27 “‘El hombre o la mujer que sea un médium o un mago serán condenados a muerte. Serán apedreados. Su sangre será sobre ellos”.
And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
