Levítico 20
1 Y él Señor dijo a Moisés:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Nuevamente, di a los hijos de Israel: Si algún hombre de los hijos de Israel, o cualquier otro hombre que vive en Israel, le da su descendencia a Molec, ciertamente será ejecutado: debe ser apedreado. por el pueblo de la tierra;
“Tell the Israeli people, ‘[This is what Yahweh says]: Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to be an offering to the god Molech must be executed. The people of the town must kill him by throwing stones at him.
3 Y mi rostro se volverá contra ese hombre, y él será cortado de su pueblo; porque ha dado su descendencia a Molec, haciendo mi lugar santo inmundo, y profanar mi santo nombre.
I will reject [IDM] such people and command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
4 Y si la gente de la tierra no toma nota de ese hombre cuando da su descendencia a Molec, y no lo mata,
If the people of that man’s town ignore it when he kills one of his children to offer him as a sacrifice to Molech, and if they do not execute that person,
5 Entonces mi rostro se volverá contra él y su familia, y él y todos los que fornicaron prostituyéndose con él serán separados de entre su gente.
I myself will punish that person and his family, and I will command that he no longer be able to associate with my people. And I will do the same thing to any others who do the same thing that he did to worship Molech.
6 Y el que persiga a los que hacen uso de espíritus y adivinadores, prostituyéndose con ellos, se volverá contra él, y será cortado de entre su pueblo.
‘will reject [IDM] those who go to those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people and fortune-tellers to seek advice from them. I will command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
7 Así que se santo y mantente santo, porque yo soy el Señor, tu Dios.
‘Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
8 Y guarda mis reglas y hazlas: Yo soy el Señor, que te santifico.
Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws. I am Yahweh, the one will cause you to be holy.
9 Todo hombre que maldice a su padre o a su madre ciertamente debe ser condenado a muerte; Debido a su maldición sobre su padre o su madre, su sangre estará sobre él.
‘If anyone curses his father or his mother, he must be executed. He himself will be responsible for his own death [MTY].

22 Entonces, guarde mis reglas y mis decisiones, y hágalas, para que la tierra que les doy como lugar de descanso no pueda arrojarlos de nuevo.
‘Obey all my laws/decrees [DOU] carefully, in order that you will not be forced to leave [MET] the land to which I am bringing you.
23 Y no guardes las reglas de las naciones que estoy expulsando delante de ti; porque hicieron todas estas cosas, y por esa razón mi alma se volvió contra ellos.
Do not imitate/adopt the customs of the people of the land from which I will expel them as you advance. I hated them because they did all those things.
24 Pero yo te dije: Tomarás su tierra y te la daré por tu herencia, una tierra que fluye leche y miel: Yo soy el Señor, tu Dios, que te he separado de todos los demás pueblos.
But I said to you, “You will take their land from them; I will give it to you to be yours, a land that is very fertile [IDM]. I am Yahweh your God, who has set you apart from the people of other nations.”
25 Entonces, hagan distinción entre la bestia limpia y la inmunda, y entre la ave limpia y la inmunda: no se hagan despreciables por causa de bestia o ave o cualquier cosa que se deslice sobre la tierra, que he marcado como impuro para ti.
‘So you must distinguish between birds and animals that are unacceptable to me and those that are acceptable to me. Do not defile yourselves by [eating] birds or animals, or anything that scurries across the ground, that I have said are unacceptable for you.
26 Y tú debes ser santo para mí; porque yo, el Señor, soy santo y te he separado de las naciones, para que seas mi pueblo.
You must behave in ways that I consider to be holy, because I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have set you apart from the [ungodly people of other] nations to belong to me.
27 Cualquier hombre o mujer que haga uso de espíritus, o que sea un adivinador, debe ser condenado a muerte. debe ser apedreado con piedras: su sangre estará sobre ellos.
‘You must execute any man or woman among you who (consults/talks with) the spirits of dead people or who is a fortune-teller. Kill them by [throwing] stones at them; but they will be responsible for their own deaths.’”
