1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I am the Lord your God.
2 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios.
3 You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
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.
4 You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
4 Mis derechos pondréis por obra, y mis estatutos guardaréis, andando en ellos: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
5 Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.
5 Por tanto mis estatutos y mis derechos guardaréis, los cuales haciendo el hombre, vivirá en ellos: Yo Jehová.
6 No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
6 Ningún varón se allegue á ninguna cercana de su carne, para descubrir [su] desnudez: Yo Jehová.
7 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
7 La desnudez de tu padre, ó la desnudez de tu madre, no descubrirás: tu madre es, no descubrirás su desnudez.
8 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your father.
8 La desnudez de la mujer de tu padre no descubrirás; es la desnudez de tu padre.
9 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether from father or from mother, whether she was born at home or abroad.
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.
10 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or your daughter’s daughter; for it is your own nakedness.
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.
11 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to your father, and who is your sister.
11 La desnudez de la hija de la mujer de tu padre, engendrada de tu padre, tu hermana es, su desnudez no descubrirás.
12 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; for she is the flesh of your father.
12 La desnudez de la hermana de tu padre no descubrirás: es parienta de tu padre.
13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is the flesh of your mother.
13 La desnudez de la hermana de tu madre no descubrirás: porque parienta de tu madre es.
14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, nor shall you approach his wife, who is joined to you by affinity.
14 La desnudez del hermano de tu padre no descubrirás: no llegarás á su mujer: es mujer del hermano de tu padre.
15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife; neither shall you expose her dishonor.
15 La desnudez de tu nuera no descubrirás: mujer es de tu hijo; no descubrirás su desnudez.
16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your brother.
16 La desnudez de la mujer de tu hermano no descubrirás: es la desnudez de tu hermano.
17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your wife and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, so as to uncover her dishonor; for they are her flesh, and such sexual intercourse is incest.
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.
18 You shall not take your wife’s sister as a rival mistress; nor shall you uncover her nakedness, while your wife is still living.
18 No tomarás mujer juntamente con su hermana, para hacerla su rival, descubriendo su desnudez delante de ella en su vida.
19 You shall not approach a woman who is undergoing menstruation, nor shall you uncover her foulness.
19 Y no llegarás á la mujer en el apartamiento de su inmundicia, para descubrir su desnudez.
20 You shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, nor shall you be defiled by the mingling of seed.
20 Además, no tendrás acto carnal con la mujer de tu prójimo, contaminándote en ella.
21 You shall not give some of your seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor to pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.
21 Y no des de tu simiente para hacerla pasar [por el fuego] á Moloch; no contamines el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
22 You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.
22 No te echarás con varón como con mujer: es abominación.
23 You shall not commit sexual acts with any animal, nor shall you be defiled by it. A woman shall not lie down with a beast, nor commit sexual acts with it; for this is wickedness.
23 Ni con ningún animal tendrás ayuntamiento amancillándote con él; ni mujer alguna se pondrá delante de animal para ayuntarse con él: es confusión.
24 Do not pollute yourselves with any of these things, by which all of the nations, which I will cast out in your sight, have been contaminated
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:
25 and by which the land has been polluted. I will visit the wickedness of the land, so that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
25 Y la tierra fué contaminada; y yo visité su maldad sobre ella, y la tierra vomitó sus moradores.
26 Keep my ordinances and judgments, and do not do any of these abominations: the native born, as well as the settler, who sojourns among you.
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.
27 For all these detestable things were done by the inhabitants of the land who were here before you, and they have polluted it.
27 (Porque todas estas abominaciones hicieron los hombres de la tierra, que fueron antes de vosotros, y la tierra fué contaminada:)
28 Therefore, beware, lest in a similar manner, it may vomit you out as well, if you do these same things, just as it vomited out the people who were before you.
28 Y la tierra no os vomitará, por haberla contaminado, como vomitó á la gente que fué antes de vosotros.
29 Every soul who shall commit any of these abominations shall perish from the midst of his people.
29 Porque cualquiera que hiciere alguna de todas estas abominaciones, las personas que las hicieren, serán cortadas de entre su pueblo.
30 Keep my commandments. Do not be willing to do the things which have been done by those who were before you, and do not be polluted by these things. I am the Lord your God.
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.
