Levítico 20
1 Y habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Ítem, dirás a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, y de los extranjeros, que peregrinan en Israel, que diere de su simiente a Moloc, morirá de muerte: el pueblo de la tierra le apedreará con piedras:
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
3 Y yo pondré mi rostro contra el tal varón, y le cortaré de entre su pueblo, por cuanto dio de su simiente a Moloc contaminando mi santuario, y ensuciando mi santo nombre.
I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
4 Y si escondiere el pueblo de la tierra sus ojos de aquel varón, que hubiere dado de su simiente a Moloc, para no matarle,
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
5 Entonces yo pondré mi rostro contra aquel varón, y contra su familia, y cortarle he de entre su pueblo, con todos los que fornicaren tras él, fornicando tras Moloc.
I will disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 Ítem, la persona que se volviere a los encantadores, o adivinos para fornicar tras ellos, yo pondré mi rostro contra la tal persona, y yo la cortaré de entre su pueblo.
I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
7 Santificáos pues, y sed santos, porque yo Jehová soy vuestro Dios.
So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
8 Y guardád mis estatutos, y hacédlos: Yo Jehová, que os santifico.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
9 Porque cualquier varón que maldijere a su padre o a su madre, morirá de muerte: ¿a su padre, o a su madre maldijo? su sangre sobre él.
Anyone who curses their father or mother must be executed. They have cursed their father or mother; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
10 Ítem, el varón, que adulterare con la mujer de otro, que cometiere adulterio con la mujer de su prójimo, de muerte morirá el adúltero, y la adúltera.
Any man who commits adultery with someone else's wife must be executed, as well as the woman.
11 Ítem, cualquiera que se echare con la mujer de su padre, las vergüenzas de su padre descubrió, ambos morirán de muerte, su sangre sobre ellos.
A man who has sex with his father's wife has brought shame on his father. Both the man and the woman must be executed. Both must surely be put to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
12 Ítem, cualquiera que durmiere con su nuera, ambos morirán de muerte, mistura hicieron, su sangre sobre ellos.
A man who has sex with his daughter-in-law must be executed, as well as the woman. They have done something perverse; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
13 Ítem, cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con macho, como con mujer, abominación hicieron, ambos morirán de muerte, su sangre sobre ellos.
Men who have sex with other men as with a woman have done something disgusting. They must be executed; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
14 Ítem, el que tomare a la mujer y a su madre, fealdad es; quemarán en fuego a él y a ellas, porque no haya fealdad entre vosotros.
A man who marries both a woman and her mother has acted perversely. They must all be burned to death so that there will be no such wickedness among you.
15 Ítem, cualquiera que pusiere su ayuntamiento en bestia, morirá de muerte, y a la bestia mataréis.
A man who has sex with an animal must be executed, and the animal must be killed too.
16 Ítem, la mujer que se allegare a algún animal para tener ayuntamiento con él, matarás a la mujer y al animal: de muerte morirán, su sangre sobre ellos.
A woman who gives herself to an animal to have sex with it must be executed, along with the animal. They must both be killed; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
17 Ítem, cualquiera que tomare a su hermana, hija de su padre, o hija de su madre, y viere sus vergüenzas, y ella viere las suyas, execrable cosa es; por tanto serán muertos en ojos de los hijos de su pueblo; ¿las vergüenzas de su hermana descubrió? su pecado llevará.
A man who marries his sister, whether she's his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and they have sex, has done something shameful. They must be expelled from their people in front of everybody. He has brought shame on his sister; he bears the responsibility for his punishment.
18 Ítem, cualquiera que durmiere con mujer menstruosa, y descubriere sus vergüenzas, su fuente descubrió, y ella descubrió la fuente de su sangre; ambos serán cortados de entre su pueblo.
A man who has sex with a woman having her period he has exposed where her blood flow comes from, and she has too. They must both be expelled from their people.
19 Las vergüenzas de la hermana de tu madre, o de la hermana de tu padre no descubrirás, por cuanto descubrió a su parienta: su iniquidad llevarán.
Don't have sex with your aunt, whether on your father or your mother's side, because it brings shame on your own family. Both will bear responsibility for their sin.
20 Ítem, cualquiera que durmiere con la mujer del hermano de su padre, las vergüenzas del hermano de su padre descubrió: su pecado llevarán, sin hijos morirán:
A man who has sex with his uncle's wife brings shame on his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin; they shall die without having children.
21 Ítem, el que tomare la mujer de su hermano suciedad es, las vergüenzas de su hermano descubrió; sin hijos serán.
A man who marries his brother's wife does something that is unclean. He has brought shame on his brother; the couple will have no children.
22 Guardád pues todos mis estatutos, y todos mis derechos, y hacédlos, y no os vomitará la tierra, en la cual yo os meto, para que habitéis en ella.
So keep all my rules and regulations, so that the land where I'm taking you to live won't vomit you out.
23 Y no andéis en los estatutos de la gente, que yo echaré de delante de vosotros: porque ellos hicieron todas estas cosas, y yo los tuve en abominación:
Don't follow the practices of the nations I'm expelling for you. I detested them because they did all these evil things.
24 Y os he dicho a vosotros: Vosotros poseeréis la tierra de ellos, y yo la daré a vosotros, para que la poseáis por heredad, tierra que corre leche y miel: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os he apartado de los pueblos.
But I have promised you that you will take over their land. I'm going to give it to you to own, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has made you a distinctive people different from all others.
25 Por tanto vosotros haréis diferencia entre animal limpio e inmundo, y entre ave inmunda y limpia: y no ensuciéis vuestras personas en los animales, ni en las aves, ni en ninguna cosa que va arrastrando por la tierra, las cuales cosas yo os he apartado por inmundas.
So make sure you observe the difference between clean and unclean animals and birds. Don't make yourselves unclean because of any animal or bird, or by anything that runs along the ground. I have made the difference clear: they are unclean for you.
26 Serme heis pues santos, porque yo Jehová soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos, para que seáis míos.
You shall be holy to me because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I have made you a distinctive people different from all other nations. You belong to me.
27 Y el hombre o la mujer, en los cuales hubiere espíritu Pitónico, o de adivinación, morirán de muerte: apedrearlos han con piedras, su sangre sobre ellos.
Anyone, man or a woman, who is a medium or a spiritist must be executed. They are to be stoned to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.”
