Levítico 20
1 Y habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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:
“Say to the people of Israel, 'Anyone among the people of Israel, or any foreigner who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech, must certainly be put to death. The people in the land must stone him with stones.
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 also will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given his child to Molech, so as to defile my holy place and profane my holy name.
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 people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they do not put him to death,
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.
then I myself will set my face against that man and his clan, and I will cut him off and everyone else who prostitutes himself in order to play the harlot 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.
The person who turns to those who talk with the dead, or to those who talk with spirits so as to prostitute themselves with them, I will set my face against that person; I will cut him off from among his people.
7 Santificáos pues, y sed santos, porque yo Jehová soy vuestro Dios.
Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
8 Y guardád mis estatutos, y hacédlos: Yo Jehová, que os santifico.
You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as 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.
Everyone who curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, so he is guilty and deserves to die.
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.
The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, that is, anyone who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife—the adulterer and the adulteress must both certainly be put to death.
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.
If a man lies with his father's wife, he uncovers his father's nakedness. Both the son and his father's wife must certainly be put to death. Their blood is upon them.
12 Ítem, cualquiera que durmiere con su nuera, ambos morirán de muerte, mistura hicieron, su sangre sobre ellos.
If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must certainly be put to death. They have committed perversion. They are guilty and deserve to die.
13 Ítem, cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con macho, como con mujer, abominación hicieron, ambos morirán de muerte, su sangre sobre ellos.
If a man sleeps with another man, as with a woman, both of them have done something detestable. They must surely be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
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.
If a man marries a woman and also marries her mother, this is wickedness. They must be burned, both he and the women, so that there will be no wickedness among you.
15 Ítem, cualquiera que pusiere su ayuntamiento en bestia, morirá de muerte, y a la bestia mataréis.
If a man sleeps with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
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.
If a woman approaches any animal to sleep with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must certainly be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
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.
If a man sleeps with his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and he uncovers her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They must be cut off from the presence of their people, because he has slept with his sister. He must carry his guilt.
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.
If a man sleeps with a woman during her menstrual period and has slept with her, he has uncovered the flow of her blood, the source of her blood. Both the man and woman must be cut off from among 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.
You must not sleep with your mother's sister, or with your father's sister, because you would disgrace your close relative. You must carry your own guilt.
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:
If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin, and they will die without children.
21 Ítem, el que tomare la mujer de su hermano suciedad es, las vergüenzas de su hermano descubrió; sin hijos serán.
If a man marries his brother's wife while his brother is still living, that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother, and I will take away from their children any property they may have inherited from their parents.
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.
You must therefore keep all my statutes and all my decrees; you must obey them so that the land into which I am bringing you to live will not vomit you up.
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:
You must not walk in the customs of the nations that I will drive out before you, for they have done all these things, and I detest them.
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.
I said to you, “You will inherit their land; I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
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.
You must therefore distinguish between the clean animals and the unclean, and between the unclean birds and the clean. You must not defile yourselves with unclean animals or birds or with any creature that crawls along the ground, which I have separated as unclean from you.
26 Serme heis pues santos, porque yo Jehová soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos, para que seáis míos.
You must be holy, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, for 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.
A man or a woman who talks with the dead or who talks with spirits must certainly be put to death. The people must stone them with stones. They are guilty and deserve to die.'”
