< Levítico 19 >

1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Habla a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel: Sean santos, porque Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim, soy santo.
Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You shall be holy; for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
3 Cada uno respete a su madre y a su padre, y guarde mis sábados. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and you shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
4 No se vuelvan a los ídolos. No hagan ʼelohim de fundición. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
You shall not follow idols, and you shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.
5 Cuando ofrezcan un sacrificio de paz a Yavé, ofrézcanlo de tal manera que ustedes sean aceptados.
And if you will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, you shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.
6 Se comerá el mismo día que lo sacrifiquen o el día siguiente, pero lo que quede para el tercer día será quemado al fuego.
In what day soever you shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.
7 Si se come al tercer día, será cosa repugnante. No será aceptado.
And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.
8 El que lo coma, cargará su iniquidad por profanar lo santo de Yavé, y será cortado de su pueblo.
And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people.
9 Al recoger la cosecha de su tierra, no cosecharás hasta el último rincón de tu campo ni rebuscarás las espigas de tu cosecha.
And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and you shall not gather that which falls from your reaping.
10 Tampoco rebuscarás tu viña, ni recogerás los frutos caídos de tu viña, sino que los dejarás para el pobre y el extranjero. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
And you shall not go over the gathering of your vineyard, neither shall you gather the remaining grapes of your vineyard: you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
11 No robarás, ni mentirás, ni se engañen unos a otros.
You shall not steal, you shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbor.
12 No jurarás por mi Nombre en falso, pues profanarás así el Nombre de tu ʼElohim. Yo, Yavé.
And you shall not swear unjustly by my name, and you shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God.
13 No oprimirás a tu prójimo ni le robarás. El salario del jornalero no pernoctará en tu poder hasta la mañana siguiente.
You shall not injure your neighbor, neither do you rob [him], neither shall the wages of your hireling remain with you until the morning.
14 No maldecirás al sordo, ni ante un ciego pondrás tropiezo, sino tendrás temor de tu ʼElohim. Yo, Yavé.
You shall not revile the deaf, neither shall you put a stumbling block in the way of the blind; and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.
15 No cometerás injusticia en el juicio. No favorecerás al pobre ni honrarás al grande. Con rectitud juzgarás a tu prójimo.
You shall not act unjustly in judgment: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbor.
16 No difamarás en medio de tu pueblo, ni harás algo contra la vida de tu prójimo. Yo, Yavé.
You shall not walk deceitfully among your people; you shall not rise up against the blood of your neighbor: I am the Lord your God.
17 No aborrecerás en tu corazón a tu hermano. Reprenderás firmemente a tu prójimo, para que no incurras en pecado por su causa.
You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbor, so you shall not bear sin on his account.
18 No te vengarás, ni guardarás rencor contra los hijos de tu pueblo, sino amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Yo, Yavé.
And your hand shall not avenge you; and you shall not be angry with the children of your people; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.
19 Guardarás mis Estatutos. No harás ayuntar a tu bestia con otra especie, ni sembrarás tu campo con dos semillas. Tampoco te pondrás ropa con dos clases de tejido.
You shall observe my law: you shall not let your cattle gender with one of a different kind, and you shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed; and you shall not put upon yourself a mingled garment woven of two [materials].
20 Si un hombre se une con una mujer y hay emisión de semen, y ella es una esclava comprometida con alguno, pero no fue realmente rescatada ni se le dio libertad, se hará una investigación. Pero no morirán, porque ella no es libre.
And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, [and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited [with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.
21 El hombre presentará su ofrenda por la culpa a Yavé en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión: un carnero como ofrenda por la culpa.
And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.
22 El sacerdote hará sacrificio que apacigua por él delante de Yavé con el carnero de la ofrenda por la culpa, por el pecado que cometió. Le será perdonado.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him.
23 Cuando entres en la tierra y plantes toda clase de árboles frutales, considerarán como incircunciso su primer fruto. Por tres años les será incircunciso y su fruto no se comerá.
And whenever you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit tree, then shall you purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten.
24 Al cuarto año todo su fruto será consagrado con alabanzas a Yavé,
And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.
25 y al quinto año podrán comer su fruto. Así les aumentará su cosecha. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
26 Nada comerán con sangre. No practicarán adivinación ni brujería.
Eat not on the mountains, nor shall you employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
27 No harás tonsura en tu coronilla, ni dañarás la punta de tu barba.
You shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.
28 No harán sajaduras en su cuerpo a causa de algún difunto, ni grabarán tatuajes sobre sus cuerpos. Yo, Yavé.
And you shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and you shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.
29 No profanarás a tu hija al incitarla a que se prostituya, no sea que la tierra se prostituya, y se llene de perversión.
You shall not profane your daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.
30 Observarán mis sábados, y tendrán temor reverente a mi Santuario. Yo, Yavé.
You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
31 No se vuelvan a los que evocan espíritus de muertos, ni a los adivinos, ni los busques para ser contaminados por ellos. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
You shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.
32 En presencia de las canas te pondrás en pie. Honrarás la presencia de un anciano y tendrás temor a tu ʼElohim. Yo, Yavé.
You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and shall fear your God: I am the Lord your God.
33 Cuando algún extranjero viva contigo en tu tierra, no lo oprimirás.
And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, you shall not afflict him.
34 Como a uno nacido entre ustedes les será el extranjero que resida con ustedes. Lo amarás como a ti mismo, porque fueron extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim.
The stranger that comes to you shall be among you as the native, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 No harán injusticia en el juicio, ni en la medida de longitud, ni en la de peso, ni en la de capacidad.
You shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.
36 Tendrán balanzas justas, pesas justas, efa justo e hin justo. Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim, Quien los sacó de la tierra de Egipto.
There shall be among you just balances and just weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Guardarán, pues, todos mis Estatutos y todos mis Decretos y los pondrán en práctica. Yo, Yavé.
And you shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and you shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
