Levítico 20

1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés diciendo:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Dirás asimismo á los hijos de Israel: Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan en Israel, que diere de su simiente á Moloch, de seguro morirá: el pueblo de la tierra lo apedreará con piedras.

You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.

3 Y yo pondré mi rostro contra el tal varón, y lo cortaré de entre su pueblo; por cuanto dió de su simiente á Moloch, contaminando mi santuario, y amancillando mi santo nombre.

And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.

4 Que si escondiere el pueblo de la tierra sus ojos de aquel varón que hubiere dado de su simiente á Moloch, para no matarle,

And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;

5 Entonces yo pondré mi rostro contra aquel varón, y contra su familia, y le cortaré de entre su pueblo, con todos los que fornicaron en pos de él, prostituyéndose con Moloch.

then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.

6 Y la persona que atendiere á encantadores ó adivinos, para prostituirse tras de ellos, yo pondré mi rostro contra la tal persona, y cortaréla de entre su pueblo.

And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.

7 Santificaos, pues, y sed santos, porque yo Jehová soy vuestro Dios.

And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

8 Y guardad mis estatutos, y ponedlos por obra: Yo Jehová que os santifico.

And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.

9 Porque varón que maldijere á su padre ó á su madre, de cierto morirá: á su padre ó á su madre maldijo; su sangre será sobre él.

Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.

10 Y el hombre que adulterare con la mujer de otro, el que cometiere adulterio con la mujer de su prójimo, indefectiblemente se hará morir al adúltero y á la adúltera.

Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.

11 Y cualquiera que se echare con la mujer de su padre, la desnudez de su padre descubrió: ambos han de ser muertos; su sangre será sobre ellos.

And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.

12 Y cualquiera que durmiere con su nuera, ambos han de morir: hicieron confusión; su sangre será sobre ellos.

And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.

13 Y cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con varón como con mujer, abominación hicieron: entrambos han de ser muertos; sobre ellos será su sangre.

And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.

14 Y el que tomare mujer y á la madre de ella, comete vileza: quemarán en fuego á él y á ellas, porque no haya vileza entre vosotros.

Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.

15 Y cualquiera que tuviere cópula con bestia, ha de ser muerto; y mataréis á la bestia.

And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.

16 Y la mujer que se allegare á algún animal, para tener ayuntamiento con él, á la mujer y al animal matarás: morirán infaliblemente; será su sangre sobre ellos.

And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.

17 Y cualquiera que tomare á su hermana, hija de su padre ó hija de su madre, y viere su desnudez, y ella viere la suya, cosa es execrable; por tanto serán muertos á ojos de los hijos de su pueblo: descubrió la desnudez de su hermana; su pecado llevará.

Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.

18 Y cualquiera que durmiere con mujer menstruosa, y descubriere su desnudez, su fuente descubrió, y ella descubrió la fuente de su sangre: ambos serán cortados de entre su pueblo.

And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.

19 La desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, ó de la hermana de tu padre, no descubrirás: por cuanto descubrió su parienta, su iniquidad llevarán.

And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.

20 Y cualquiera que durmiere con la mujer del hermano de su padre, la desnudez del hermano de su padre descubrió; su pecado llevarán; morirán sin hijos.

Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.

21 Y el que tomare la mujer de su hermano, es suciedad; la desnudez de su hermano descubrió; sin hijos serán.

Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.

22 Guardad, pues, todos mis estatutos y todos mis derechos, y ponedlos por obra: y no os vomitará la tierra, en la cual yo os introduzco para que habitéis en ella.

And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgments; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.

23 Y no andéis en las prácticas de la gente que yo echaré de delante de vosotros: porque ellos hicieron todas estas cosas, y los tuve en abominación.

And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:

24 Empero á vosotros os he dicho: Vosotros poseeréis la tierra de ellos, y yo os la daré para que la poseáis por heredad, tierra que fluye leche y miel: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os he apartado de los pueblos.

and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.

25 Por tanto, vosotros haréis diferencia entre animal limpio é 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 os he apartado por inmundas.

And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.

26 Habéis, pues, de serme santos, porque yo Jehová soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos, para que seáis míos.

And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.

27 Y el hombre ó la mujer en quienes hubiere espíritu pithónico ó de adivinación, han de ser muertos: los apedrearán con piedras; su sangre sobre ellos.

And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
