Levítico 20

1 Yahvé habló a Moisés y dijo:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 “Di a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier hombre de entre los hijos de Israel o de los extranjeros que habitan en Israel, si entregare uno de sus hijos a Moloc, será muerto irremisiblemente; el pueblo del país lo apedreará.

Unto the sons of Israel, therefore shalt thou say, What man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, he shall, surely be put to death, —the people of the land shall stone him with stones;

3 Yo mismo volveré mi rostro contra el tal hombre y lo extirparé de en medio de su pueblo, por haber dado un hijo suyo a Moloc, contaminando mi Santuario y profanando mi santo nombre.

I, also, will set my face against that man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people, —because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning my holy name.

4 Si el pueblo del país apartare sus ojos de ese hombre que dio uno de sus hijos a Moloc, y no le diere muerte,

But, if the people of the land, do even hide, their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, —so as not to put him to death,

5 yo mismo volveré mi rostro contra aquel hombre y contra su familia, y le extirparé de entre su pueblo, a él y a todos los que como él se prostituyan a Moloc.

then will I myself, set my face against that man, and against his family, —and will cut him off, and all that follow unchastely after him—in going unchastely after Molech—out of the midst of their people.

6 Si una persona consultare a los que evocan a los muertos, y a los que adivinan, fornicando en pos de ellos, Yo volveré mi rostro contra ella y la extirparé de en medio de su pueblo.

The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people.

7 Santificaos y sed santos; porque Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.

Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy, —Because I—Yahweh, am your God.

8 Guardad mis leyes y cumplidlas. Yo soy Yahvé quien os santifico.

Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and do them, —I—Yahweh, am he that is hallowing you.

9 Quien maldiga a su padre o a su madre será muerto sin remedio; ha maldecido a su padre o a su madre; recaiga sobre él su sangre.

When, any man whatsoever, curseth his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death, —his father or his mother, hath he cursed, his blood, shall be upon himself.

10 El hombre que cometa adulterio con la mujer de otro, con la mujer de su prójimo, ambos serán muertos irremisiblemente, tanto el adúltero como la adúltera.

And, any man, who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man, he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to death—the adulterer, and the adulteress.

11 El que se acueste con la mujer de su padre, descubre la desnudez de su padre; ambos serán muertos irremisiblemente; recaiga sobre ellos su sangre.

And any man who lieth with his father’s wife, the shame of his father, hath uncovered, —they both shall, surely be put to death—their blood shall be upon themselves.

12 El hombre que se acueste con su nuera, mueran ambos; han hecho cosa abominable; su sangre recaiga sobre ellos.

And any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law, they both shall, surely be put to death, confusion, have they wrought—their blood shall be upon themselves.

13 El que se acueste con varón, como se hace con mujer; ambos han cometido abominación: mueran irremisiblemente; su sangre recaiga sobre ellos.

And any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind, an abomination, have both of them wrought, —they shall, surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

14 Si uno toma por mujeres a la hija y a la madre, es un crimen. Serán entregados a las llamas tanto él como ellas, para que no haya tal crimen en medio de vosotros.

And, any man, who taketh a woman and her mother, wickedness, it is, —in fire, shall both he and they be consumed, that wickedness be not in your midst.

15 El que se ayuntare con bestia, muera irremisiblemente. Mataréis también la bestia.

And, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, —and, the beast, shall ye slay.

16 Si una mujer se acerca a una bestia para ayuntarse con ella, matarás a la mujer y a la bestia. Morirán irremisiblemente; recaiga sobre ellos su sangre.

And, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, —they shall surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

17 El que tomare a su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre, viendo así la desnudez de ella, y ella viendo la desnudez de él, es cosa vergonzosa. Se les dará muerte en presencia de los hijos de su pueblo; ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermana; llevará su iniquidad.

And, any man, who taketh his sister—his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and vieweth her shame, and, she, vieweth his shame, a disgrace, it is, —they shall therefore be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people, —the shame of his sister, hath he uncovered—his iniquity, shall he bear.

18 El que se acostare con mujer que padece la indisposición mensual, descubriendo la desnudez de ella, ha descubierto su flujo y ella también ha descubierto el flujo de su sangre. Ambos serán extirpados de entre su pueblo.

And, any man, who lieth with a woman having her sickness, and uncovereth her shame, her fountain, hath he exposed, she, also hath uncovered her fountain of blood, —they shall therefore both be cut off out of the midst of their people.

19 No descubras la desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, ni de la hermana de tu padre, porque es desnudar su propia carne; por eso llevarán su iniquidad.

And the shame of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover, —for his near of kin, hath he exposed—their iniquity, shall they bear.

20 El que se acostare con su tía, descubre la desnudez de su tía. Llevarán su pecado; morirán sin prole.

And, any man, who lieth with his uncle’s wife, the shame of his uncle, hath he uncovered, —their sin, shall they bear—childless, shall they die.

21 Si uno se casa con la mujer de su hermano, hace cosa impura, pues descubre la desnudez de su hermano; quedarán sin hijos.

And, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is, —the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.

22 Guardad, pues, todas mis leyes y todos mis preceptos y cumplidlos, no sea que os vomite el país adonde os llevo para habitarlo.

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, —So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;

23 No caminéis según las costumbres de los pueblos que Yo voy a expulsar de vuestra vista; pues por haber hecho ellos todas esas cosas les tengo asco.

So shall ye not walk in the—statutes of the nations, which I am casting out from before you, —For all these things, had they done, Therefore I abhorred them;

24 Mas a vosotros os he dicho: Poseeréis su tierra, la que Yo os daré en herencia, tierra que mana leche y miel. Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios, que os he separado de los demás pueblos.

And said unto you—Ye, shall possess their soil, Yea, I myself, will give it you to possess it, A land flowing with milk and honey, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who have distinguished you from the peoples;

25 Habéis de hacer distinción entre animales puros e impuros, y entre aves impuras y puras; y no os contaminéis, ni con animales, ni con aves, ni con lo que anda arrastrándose por el suelo. Todas esas cosas os he señalado como impuras.

Therefore shall ye make a distinction—Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, —And between the unclean birds and the clean, —So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as unclean.

26 Sed, pues, santos para Mí, porque Yo, Yahvé, soy santo; y os he elegido de entre los pueblos, para que seáis míos.

Therefore shall ye be unto me, holy persons, for, holy, am, I—Yahweh, —Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples, that ye may be mine.

27 El hombre o la mujer que evoque a los muertos o que se dedique a la adivinación muera irremisiblemente; serán apedreados; recaiga sobre ellos su sangre.”

And as touching man or woman, when there shall be in them a familiar spirit, or the spirit of an oracle, they shall, surely be put to death, —with stones, shall they be stoned—their blood, shall be upon themselves.
