1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 «Habla a toda la comunidad de los hijos de Israel y diles: Sean santos, porque yo, el Señor su Dios, soy santo.
2 “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.
3 Cada uno respetará a su madre y a su padre, y guardará mis sábados. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
3 “‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.
4 No se vuelvan a los ídolos ni se hagan dioses de metal fundido. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
4 “‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God.
5 »Cuando presenten una ofrenda de paz al Señor, háganlo de manera que sea aceptada.
5 “‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
6 La carne se comerá el mismo día del sacrificio o al día siguiente. Lo que quede hasta el tercer día será quemado.
6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.
7 Si alguien come de ella al tercer día, será algo impuro y la ofrenda no será aceptada.
7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
8 Quien la coma cargará con su culpa, porque ha profanado algo santo del Señor. Esa persona será excluida de su pueblo.
8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 »Cuando cosechen la tierra, no cosechen hasta el último rincón del campo ni recojan lo que quede después de la cosecha.
9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 No recojan todas las uvas de su viña ni levanten las que hayan caído. Déjenlas para el pobre y el extranjero. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.
11 »No roben. No engañen ni se mientan unos a otros.
11 “‘You shall not steal. “‘You shall not lie. “‘You shall not deceive one another.
12 No juren falsamente usando mi nombre, porque así profanarían el nombre de su Dios. Yo soy el Señor.
12 “‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
13 No oprimas a tu prójimo ni le robes. No retengas hasta la mañana el salario del trabajador.
13 “‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. “‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
14 No maldigas al sordo ni pongas un obstáculo delante del ciego. Teme a tu Dios. Yo soy el Señor.
14 “‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.
15 No sean injustos al juzgar. No favorezcan al pobre ni den preferencia al poderoso. Juzguen a su prójimo con justicia.
15 “‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
16 No andes difundiendo calumnias entre tu pueblo ni pongas en peligro la vida de tu prójimo. Yo soy el Señor.
16 “‘You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people. “‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am Yahweh.
17 No odies a tu hermano en tu corazón. Corrige a tu prójimo cuando sea necesario, para que no cargues con pecado por causa de él.
17 “‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
18 No busques venganza ni guardes rencor contra los hijos de tu pueblo. Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Yo soy el Señor.
18 “‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.
19 »Guarden mis leyes. No crucen dos clases diferentes de animales. No siembren dos clases de semilla en el mismo campo. No usen ropa hecha con dos clases diferentes de material.
19 “‘You shall keep my statutes. “‘You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals. “‘You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; “‘Don’t wear a garment made of two kinds of material.
20 »Si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con una esclava que está comprometida con otro hombre, pero que todavía no ha sido liberada ni se ha pagado el precio de su libertad, el caso será investigado. No serán condenados a muerte, porque ella no era libre.
20 “‘If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 El hombre llevará al Señor, a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión, un carnero como ofrenda por la culpa.
21 He shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
22 El sacerdote hará expiación por él delante del Señor con el carnero de la ofrenda por la culpa. Así será perdonado por el pecado que cometió.
22 The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Yahweh for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
23 »Cuando entren en la tierra y planten árboles frutales, considerarán su fruto como no permitido durante tres años. No lo comerán.
23 “‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. For three years it shall be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.
24 En el cuarto año todo su fruto será santo, una ofrenda de alabanza al Señor.

30 Guarden mis sábados y respeten mi santuario. Yo soy el Señor.
30 “‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am Yahweh.
31 No recurran a quienes consultan a los muertos ni a los adivinos. No los busquen, porque se harán impuros por medio de ellos. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
31 “‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God.

32 “‘You shall rise up before the gray head and honor the face of the elderly; and you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.
33 »Cuando un extranjero viva con ustedes en su tierra, no lo maltraten.
33 “‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
34 Traten al extranjero que vive entre ustedes como a uno de ustedes. Ámenlo como a ustedes mismos, porque ustedes también fueron extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
34 The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"A new commandment," He says, "I give unto you, that ye love one another." But was not this already commanded in the ancient law of God, where it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"? Why, then, is it called a new one by the Lord, when it is proved to be so old?
