Levítico 20

1 Yavé habló a Moisés:

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Dí a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, o de los extranjeros que peregrinen en Israel, que entregue a alguno de sus hijos a Moloc, morirá sin perdón. El pueblo de la tierra lo lapidará.

Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land;

3 Yo levantaré mi rostro contra ese varón y lo cortaré de su pueblo, por cuanto entregó a uno de su descendencia a Moloc, con lo cual contaminó mi Santuario y profanó mi santo Nombre.

And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common.

4 Si el pueblo de la tierra cierra sus ojos para no ver al hombre que entregó alguno de sus descendientes a Moloc, y no lo mata,

And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,

5 entonces Yo mismo pondré mi rostro contra ese varón y contra su familia. Lo cortaré de su pueblo, junto con todos los que fornicaron tras él al prostituírse por seguir a Moloc.

Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people.

6 Si alguno acude a los que evocan espíritus de los muertos para prostituirse tras ellos, Yo pondré mi rostro contra él y lo cortaré de su pueblo.

And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people.

7 Santifíquense. Sean santos, porque Yo, Yavé soy su ʼElohim.

So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God.

8 Guarden mis Estatutos y practíquenlos. Yo soy Yavé, Quien los santifica.

And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy.

9 Cualquiera que maldiga a su padre o a su madre, ciertamente morirá. Maldijo a su padre o a su madre. Su sangre recaerá sobre él.

Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him.

10 Si un hombre adultera con la esposa de otro, si adultera con la esposa de su prójimo, el adúltero y la adúltera ciertamente morirán.

And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death.

11 El que se una con la esposa de su padre, descubre la desnudez de su padre. Ambos ciertamente morirán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.

And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.

12 Si alguno se une con su nuera, ambos ciertamente morirán. Cometieron una perversidad. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.

And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them.

13 Si un hombre se une con otro varón como se une con mujer, los dos cometen una repugnancia. Ambos ciertamente morirán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.

And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them.

14 El que tome a una esposa y a la madre de ella, comete perversidad. Tanto él como ellas serán quemados con fuego para que no haya perversidad entre ustedes.

And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.

15 Si un varón se une con un animal ciertamente morirá. Matarás también el animal.

And if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the beast be put to destruction.

16 Si una mujer se une a un animal para ayuntarse con él, matarás a la mujer y al animal. Ciertamente morirán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.

And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them.

17 Si un varón toma a su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre, y ve la desnudez de ella, y ella ve la desnudez de él, eso es repugnante. Por tanto, serán exterminados en presencia de los hijos de su pueblo, porque descubrió la desnudez de su hermana y recaerá su iniquidad sobre él.

And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.

18 Si alguien se une con mujer menstruosa, descubre su desnudez y su fuente, y ella descubrió el flujo de su sangre, ambos serán exterminados de su pueblo.

And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.

19 No descubrirás la desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, ni de la hermana de tu padre, porque es desnudez de un pariente. Recaerá sobre ellos su iniquidad.

And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them.

20 El hombre que se una con la esposa del hermano de su padre, descubre la desnudez de su tío. Llevarán su pecado: Morirán sin hijos.

And if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children.

21 El hombre que tome la esposa de su hermano comete una impureza. Descubrió la desnudez de su hermano. Quedarán sin hijos.

And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.

22 Ustedes observarán todos mis Estatutos y todas mis Ordenanzas, y los practicarán. Así no los vomitará la tierra a la cual Yo los llevo para que vivan en ella.

So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.

23 No seguirán las costumbres de los pueblos que Yo echo de delante de ustedes, porque ellos practicaron tales cosas y Yo los repugné.

And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.

24 Pero a ustedes les dije: Ustedes poseerán la tierra de ellos, y Yo se la daré para que la posean, tierra que fluye leche y miel. ¡Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim, Quien los apartó de entre los pueblos!

But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.

25 Ustedes harán diferencia entre animal limpio e impuro, y entre ave limpia e impura. No sean detestables a causa de animales, de aves, o de cualquier cosa que se arrastra sobre la tierra, los cuales aparté como impuros.

So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you.

26 Me serán santos, porque Yo, Yavé, soy santo, y los aparté de los pueblos para que sean míos.

And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.

27 El hombre o la mujer que evoque espíritus de muertos, o sea adivino, ciertamente morirá. Los apedrearán. Su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.

Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.
