Levítico 18
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios.
“Tell the Israelites: I am the Lord your God.
3 No haréis como hacen en la tierra de Egipto, en la cual morasteis; ni haréis como hacen en la tierra de Canaán, á la cual yo os conduzco; ni andaréis en sus estatutos.
Don't follow the ways of Egypt where you used to live, and don't follow the ways of Canaan where I'm going to take you. Don't adopt their practices.
4 Mis derechos pondréis por obra, y mis estatutos guardaréis, andando en ellos: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
Do what I tell you and keep my rules. I am the Lord your God.
5 Por tanto mis estatutos y mis derechos guardaréis, los cuales haciendo el hombre, vivirá en ellos: Yo Jehová.
If you keep my rules and do what I tell you, you will live. I am the Lord.
6 Ningún varón se allegue á ninguna cercana de su carne, para descubrir [su] desnudez: Yo Jehová.
Don't have sex with a close relative.
7 La desnudez de tu padre, ó la desnudez de tu madre, no descubrirás: tu madre es, no descubrirás su desnudez.
Don't shame your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother; don't have sex with her.
8 La desnudez de la mujer de tu padre no descubrirás; es la desnudez de tu padre.
Don't have sex with any of your father's wives and shame your father.
9 La desnudez de tu hermana, hija de tu padre, ó hija de tu madre, nacida en casa ó nacida fuera, su desnudez no descubrirás.
Don't have sex with your sister, whether she's your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, or whether she was born in the same house as you or somewhere else.
10 La desnudez de la hija de tu hijo, ó de la hija de tu hija, su desnudez no descubrirás, porque es la desnudez tuya.
Don't have sex with your granddaughter, your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, because that would be shameful thing for you.
11 La desnudez de la hija de la mujer de tu padre, engendrada de tu padre, tu hermana es, su desnudez no descubrirás.
Don't have sex with the daughter of any of your father's wives and your father, she is your sister.
12 La desnudez de la hermana de tu padre no descubrirás: es parienta de tu padre.
Don't have sex with your father's sister. She is a close relative of your father.
13 La desnudez de la hermana de tu madre no descubrirás: porque parienta de tu madre es.
Don't have sex with your mother's sister. She is a close relative of your mother.
14 La desnudez del hermano de tu padre no descubrirás: no llegarás á su mujer: es mujer del hermano de tu padre.
Don't bring shame on your uncle by having sex with his wife. She is your aunt.
15 La desnudez de tu nuera no descubrirás: mujer es de tu hijo; no descubrirás su desnudez.
Don't have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife. Don't have sex with her.
16 La desnudez de la mujer de tu hermano no descubrirás: es la desnudez de tu hermano.
Don't have sex with your brother's wife and bring shame on your brother.
17 La desnudez de la mujer y de su hija no descubrirás: no tomarás la hija de su hijo, ni la hija de su hija, para descubrir su desnudez: son parientas, es maldad.
Don't have sex with both a woman and her daughter. Don't have sex with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are her close relatives. That is something I loathe.
18 No tomarás mujer juntamente con su hermana, para hacerla su rival, descubriendo su desnudez delante de ella en su vida.
Don't marry your wife's sister and have sex with her while your wife is still alive. They will be hostile wives to one other.
19 Y no llegarás á la mujer en el apartamiento de su inmundicia, para descubrir su desnudez.
Don't have sex with a woman during the time she is unclean because of her period.
20 Además, no tendrás acto carnal con la mujer de tu prójimo, contaminándote en ella.
Don't commit any sex act with any other man's wife. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
21 Y no des de tu simiente para hacerla pasar [por el fuego] á Moloch; no contamines el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
Don't give any of your children as a human sacrifice to Molech, for you must not disgrace the character of your God. I am the Lord.
22 No te echarás con varón como con mujer: es abominación.
Don't have sex with a man as with a woman. That is something disgusting.
23 Ni con ningún animal tendrás ayuntamiento amancillándote con él; ni mujer alguna se pondrá delante de animal para ayuntarse con él: es confusión.
Don't have sex with any animal. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
24 En ninguna de estas cosas os amancillaréis; porque en todas estas cosas se han ensuciado las gentes que yo echo de delante de vosotros:
A woman must not give herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is something disgusting. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean by doing anything like this. That's the reason I'm expelling these nations from the land—they polluted themselves because of all these practices.
25 Y la tierra fué contaminada; y yo visité su maldad sobre ella, y la tierra vomitó sus moradores.
Even the land has become polluted, so I am punishing it for the sins committed by the people who live there, and the land will vomit them out.
26 Guardad, pues, vosotros mis estatutos y mis derechos, y no hagáis ninguna de todas estas abominaciones: ni el natural ni el extranjero que peregrina entre vosotros.
You, however, must do what I tell you and keep my rules. You must not do any of these disgusting acts, whether an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.
27 (Porque todas estas abominaciones hicieron los hombres de la tierra, que fueron antes de vosotros, y la tierra fué contaminada: )
The people who lived in the land before you practiced all these disgusting things, and the land became polluted.
28 Y la tierra no os vomitará, por haberla contaminado, como vomitó á la gente que fué antes de vosotros.
If you pollute the land, it will vomit you out just like it did the nations before you.
29 Porque cualquiera que hiciere alguna de todas estas abominaciones, las personas que las hicieren, serán cortadas de entre su pueblo.
Consequently anyone who does any of these disgusting things must be expelled from their people.
30 Guardad, pues, mi ordenanza, no haciendo de las prácticas abominables que tuvieron lugar antes de vosotros, y no os ensuciéis en ellas: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
You must accept my demand that you don't follow any of these disgusting practices done before you arrived. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean. I am the Lord your God.”
