1 H abló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 D irás asimismo a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, o de los extranjeros que moran en Israel, que ofrezca alguno de sus hijos a Moloc, de seguro morirá; el pueblo de la tierra lo apedreará.

“Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3 Y yo pondré mi rostro contra el tal varón, y lo cortaré de entre su pueblo, por cuanto dio de sus hijos a Moloc, contaminando mi santuario y profanando mi santo nombre.

I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.

4 S i el pueblo de la tierra cierra sus ojos respecto de aquel varón que haya dado de sus hijos a Moloc, para no matarle,

And if the people of the land should in any way hide their eyes from the man, when he gives some of his descendants to Molech, and they do not kill him,

5 e ntonces yo pondré mi rostro contra aquel varón y contra su familia, y le exterminaré de entre su pueblo, con todos los que fornicaron en pos de él prostituyéndose con Moloc.

then I will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut him off from his people, and all who prostitute themselves with him to commit harlotry with Molech.

6 Y la persona que atienda a encantadores o adivinos, para prostituirse tras de ellos, yo pondré mi rostro contra la tal persona, y la cortaré de entre su pueblo.

‘And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.

7 S antificaos, pues, y sed santos, porque yo Jehová soy vuestro Dios. Faltas contra la familia

Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.

8 Y guardad mis estatutos, y ponedlos por obra. Yo Jehová que os santifico.

And you shall keep My statutes, and perform them: I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

9 T odo hombre que maldiga a su padre o a su madre, de cierto morirá; a su padre o a su madre maldijo; su sangre será sobre él.

‘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 him.

10 S i un hombre comete adulterio con la mujer de su prójimo, el adúltero y la adúltera indefectiblemente serán muertos.

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

11 C ualquiera que yazca con la mujer de su padre, la desnudez de su padre descubrió; ambos han de ser muertos; su sangre será sobre ellos.

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 them.

12 S i alguno duerme con su nuera, ambos han de morir; cometieron grave perversión; su sangre será sobre ellos.

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

13 S i alguno se acuesta con varón como con mujer, abominación hicieron; ambos han de ser muertos; sobre ellos será su sangre.

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

14 E l que tome mujer y a la madre de ella, comete vileza; quemarán con fuego a él y a ellas, para que no haya vileza entre vosotros.

If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.

15 C ualquiera que tenga cópula con bestia, ha de ser muerto, y mataréis a la bestia.

If a man mates with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal.

16 Y si una mujer se llega a algún animal para unirse con él, a la mujer y al animal matarás; morirán indefectiblemente; su sangre será sobre ellos.

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

17 S i alguno toma a su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre, y ve su desnudez, y ella ve la suya, es cosa execrable; por tanto serán muertos a ojos de los hijos de su pueblo; descubrió la desnudez de su hermana; su pecado llevará.

‘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 wicked thing. And they shall be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his guilt.

18 C ualquiera que duerma con mujer menstruosa, y descubra su desnudez, la fuente de su flujo descubrió, y ella descubrió la fuente de su sangre; ambos serán cortados de entre su pueblo.

If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from their people.

19 L a desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, o de la hermana de tu padre, no descubrirás; porque al descubrir la desnudez de su parienta, su iniquidad llevarán.

‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister nor of your father’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their guilt.

20 C ualquiera que duerma con la mujer del hermano de su padre, la desnudez del hermano de su padre descubrió; su pecado llevarán; morirán sin hijos.

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.

21 Y el que tome la mujer de su hermano, comete inmundicia; la desnudez de su hermano descubrió; sin hijos serán.

If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

22 G uardad, pues, todos mis estatutos y todas mis ordenanzas, y ponedlos por obra, no sea que os vomite la tierra en la cual yo os introduzco para que habitéis en ella.

‘You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.

23 Y no andéis en las prácticas de las naciones que yo echaré de delante de vosotros; porque ellos hicieron todas estas cosas, y los tuve en abominación.

And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and therefore I abhor them.

24 P ero a vosotros os he dicho: Vosotros poseeréis la tierra de ellos, y yo os la daré para que la poseáis por heredad, tierra que fluye leche y miel. Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os he apartado de los pueblos.

But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

25 P or tanto, vosotros haréis diferencia entre animal limpio e inmundo, y entre ave inmunda y limpia; y no contaminéis vuestras personas con los animales, ni con las aves, ni con nada que se arrastra sobre la tierra, los cuales os he apartado por inmundos.

You shall therefore distinguish between clean animals and unclean, between unclean birds and clean, and you shall not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or by any kind of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

26 H abéis, pues, de serme santos, porque yo Jehová soy santo, y os he apartado de los pueblos para que seáis míos.

And you shall be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

27 Y el hombre o la mujer que evoque espíritus de muertos o se entregue a la adivinación, ha de morir; serán apedreados; su sangre será sobre ellos.

‘A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.’”
