1 Y ahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

El Señor le dijo a Moisés:

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; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

“Dirás también a los Israelitas: ‘Cualquiera de los Israelitas, o de los extranjeros que residen en Israel, que entregue alguno de sus hijos a Moloc, ciertamente se le dará muerte; el pueblo de la tierra lo matará a pedradas.

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.

Yo pondré Mi rostro contra ese hombre y lo exterminaré de entre su pueblo, porque ha entregado de sus hijos a Moloc, contaminando así Mi santuario y profanando Mi santo nombre.

4 I f 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;

Pero si el pueblo de la tierra cierra sus ojos con respecto a ese hombre, cuando él entregue alguno de sus hijos a Moloc, y no le da muerte,

5 t hen 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 mismo pondré Mi rostro contra ese hombre y contra su familia; y lo exterminaré de entre su pueblo, a él y a todos los que con él se prostituyan, prostituyéndose en pos de Moloc.

6 “ ‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the 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.

En cuanto a la persona que vaya a los adivinos o a los espiritistas, para prostituirse en pos de ellos, también pondré Mi rostro contra esa persona y la exterminaré de entre su pueblo.

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

Santifíquense, pues, y sean santos, porque Yo soy el Señor su Dios.

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

Guarden Mis estatutos y cúmplanlos. Yo soy el Señor que los 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 him.

Todo aquél que maldiga a su padre o a su madre, ciertamente se le dará muerte; ha maldecido a su padre o a su madre, su culpa de sangre sea 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.

Si un hombre comete adulterio con la mujer de otro hombre, (que cometa adulterio con la mujer de su prójimo ), el adúltero y la adúltera ciertamente han de morir.

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 them.

Si alguien se acuesta con la mujer de su padre, ha descubierto la desnudez de su padre; ciertamente han de morir los dos; su culpa de sangre sea 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 them.

Si alguien se acuesta con su nuera, ciertamente han de morir los dos, han cometido grave perversión; su culpa de sangre sea 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 them.

Si alguien se acuesta con varón como los que se acuestan con mujer, los dos han cometido abominación; ciertamente han de morir. Su culpa de sangre sea 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.

Si alguien toma a una mujer y a la madre de ella, es una inmoralidad; él y ellas serán quemados para que no haya inmoralidad entre ustedes.

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

Si alguien tiene trato sexual con un animal, ciertamente se le dará muerte; también matarán al animal.

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

Si alguna mujer se llega a un animal para tener trato sexual con él, matarás a la mujer y al animal; ciertamente han de morir. Su culpa de sangre sea 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.

Si alguien toma a su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre, viendo la desnudez de ella, y ella ve la desnudez de él, es cosa abominable; serán exterminados a la vista de los hijos de su pueblo. El ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermana, lleva su culpa.

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

Si alguien se acuesta con mujer menstruosa y descubre su desnudez, ha descubierto su flujo, y ella ha puesto al descubierto el flujo de su sangre; por tanto, ambos serán exterminados 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.

No descubrirás tampoco la desnudez de la hermana de tu madre, ni la de la hermana de tu padre, porque el que lo haga ha desnudado a su pariente carnal, ellos llevarán su culpa.

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

Si alguien se acuesta con la mujer de su tío, ha descubierto la desnudez de su tío; ellos llevarán su pecado. 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.

Si alguien toma a la mujer de su hermano, es cosa aborrecible; ha descubierto la desnudez de su hermano. Se quedarán sin hijos.

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.

Guarden, por tanto, todos Mis estatutos y todas Mis ordenanzas, y cúmplanlos, a fin de que no los vomite la tierra a la cual los llevo para morar en ella.

23 Y ou 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.

Además, no anden en las costumbres de la nación que Yo echaré de delante de ustedes; porque ellos hicieron todas estas cosas, Yo los aborrecí.

24 B ut 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.

Por eso les he dicho: “Ustedes poseerán su tierra, y Yo mismo se la daré para que la posean, una tierra que mana leche y miel.” Yo soy el Señor su Dios, que los 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: and 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.

Ustedes harán una distinción entre el animal limpio y el inmundo, entre el ave limpia y la inmunda; no hagan sus almas abominables por causa de animal o de ave o de cosa alguna que se arrastra sobre la tierra, los cuales Yo he apartado de ustedes por inmundos.

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

Sean ustedes santos, porque Yo, el Señor, soy santo, y los he apartado de los pueblos para que sean Míos.

27 “ ‘A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.’”

Si hay adivino o espiritista entre ellos, hombre o mujer, ciertamente han de morir; serán apedreados; su culpa de sangre sea sobre ellos.’”
