1 Y él Señor dijo a Moisés:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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;
“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.
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 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 to profane my holy name.
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 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 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.
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 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.
“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and 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.
