Levítico 20
1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés diciendo:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 Dirás asimismo a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, o de los extranjeros que peregrinan en Israel, que diere de su simiente a Moloc, de seguro morirá; el pueblo de la tierra lo apedreará con piedras.
“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘Anyone of the children of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel [God prevails], who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of 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 dio de su simiente a Moloc, contaminando mi santuario, y ensuciando mi santo nombre.
I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary and profane את 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 all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t 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 en pos de Moloc.
then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
6 Y la persona que atendiere a encantadores o adivinos, para prostituirse tras de ellos, yo pondré mi rostro contra la tal persona, y la cortaré de entre su pueblo.
“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Santificaos, pues, y sed santos, porque yo soy el SEÑOR vuestro Dios.
“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh M’Kaddesh [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes you holy].
8 Y guardad mis estatutos, y ponedlos por obra. Yo soy el SEÑOR que os santifico.
You shall keep my regulations, and do them. I am Yahweh M’Kaddesh [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes you holy].
9 Porque varón que maldijere a su padre o a su madre, de cierto morirá; a su padre o a su madre maldijo; su sangre será sobre él.
“‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 Y el varón que adulterare con la mujer de otro, el que cometiere adulterio con la mujer de su prójimo, indefectiblemente morirá el adúltero y la adúltera.

17 Y cualquiera que tomare a su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre, y viere su desnudez, y ella viere la suya, cosa es execrable; por tanto serán muertos a ojos de los hijos de su pueblo; descubrió la desnudez de su hermana; su pecado llevará.
“‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a chesed ·disgraceful· thing.

“‘You shall therefore keep all my regulations, and all my judgments, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.
23 Y no andéis en las prácticas de los gentiles que yo echaré de delante de vosotros; porque ellos hicieron todas estas cosas, y los tuve en abominación.
You shall not walk in the regulations and customs of the nations, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 Pero a 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 soy el SEÑOR vuestro Dios, que os he apartado de los pueblos.
But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Adonai your God, who has separated you from the 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 se va arrastrando por la tierra, las cuales os he apartado por inmundas.
“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves detestable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
26 Habéis, pues, de serme santos, porque yo el SEÑOR soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos, para que seáis míos.
You shall be holy to me; for I, Adonai, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 Y el hombre o la mujer en quienes hubiere espíritu pitónico o de adivinación, morirán; los apedrearán con piedras; su sangre será sobre ellos.
“‘A man or a woman that is a spirit-medium, or is a sorcerer, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.’”
