Leviticus 20

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Y habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:

2 “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.

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:

3 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.

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.

4 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,

Y si escondiere el pueblo de la tierra sus ojos de aquel varón, que hubiere dado de su simiente a Moloc, para no matarle,

5 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.

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.

6 “‘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.

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.

7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.

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

8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

Y guardád mis estatutos, y hacédlos: Yo Jehová, que os santifico.

9 “‘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 himself.

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.

10 “‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

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.

11 “‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

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.

12 “‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

Ítem, cualquiera que durmiere con su nuera, ambos morirán de muerte, mistura hicieron, su sangre sobre ellos.

13 “‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

Ítem, cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con macho, como con mujer, abominación hicieron, ambos morirán de muerte, su sangre sobre ellos.

14 “‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.

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.

15 “‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

Ítem, cualquiera que pusiere su ayuntamiento en bestia, morirá de muerte, y a la bestia mataréis.

16 “‘If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

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.

17 “‘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 shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.

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.

18 “‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

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.

19 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.

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.

20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.

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:

21 “‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

Ítem, el que tomare la mujer de su hermano suciedad es, las vergüenzas de su hermano descubrió; sin hijos serán.

22 “‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.

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.

23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

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:

24 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 Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

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.

25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

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.

26 You shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

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

27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”

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.
