Levítico 18
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
The LORD said to Moses,
2 Habla a los hijos de Israel: Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am the LORD your God.
3 No harán como hacen en la tierra de Egipto en la cual vivieron, ni harán como hacen en la tierra de Canaán a la cual los llevo. No seguirán sus costumbres.
You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
4 Cumplirán mis Decretos y observarán mis Estatutos para vivir conforme a ellos. Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim.
You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am the LORD your God.
5 Por tanto, guardarán mis Estatutos y mis Ordenanzas. El hombre que haga estas cosas vivirá por ellas. Yo, Yavé.
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 Ningún varón se acerque a una parienta próxima para descubrir su desnudez. Yo, Yavé.
"'None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 No descubrirás la desnudez de tu padre, ni la desnudez de tu madre. Es tu madre, no descubrirás su desnudez.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.

"'You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
22 No te unirás con varón como si fuera mujer. Es repugnante.
"'You shall not have sexual relations with a male, as with a woman. That is detestable.

"'You shall not have sexual relations with any animal to become defiled with it, nor shall any woman give herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it. It is a perversion.
24 Con nada de todo esto se contaminarán, porque con todo esto se contaminaron las naciones que Yo expulso de delante de ustedes,
"'Do not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 porque esa tierra se corrompió. Por tanto, castigué su maldad sobre ella y esa tierra vomitará a sus habitantes.
The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
26 Pero ustedes guarden mis Estatutos y mis Ordenanzas. No hagan ninguna de todas estas repugnancias, ni el nativo, ni el extranjero que peregrina entre ustedes.
You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;
27 Porque los hombres de aquella tierra que estuvieron antes que ustedes cometieron todas estas repugnancias y la tierra fue contaminada,
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);
28 no sea que la tierra los vomite porque la contaminaron, como vomitó a la gente que estuvo antes que ustedes.
that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Cualquiera que haga alguna de todas estas repugnancias, será cortada de su pueblo.
"'For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Así que guarden mi ordenanza al no practicar ninguna de las costumbres repugnantes que practicaron antes de ustedes, para que no se contaminen con ellas. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am the LORD your God.'"
