2 “Tell the Israelites: I am the Lord your God.
2 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios.
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am Yahweh your God.
3 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.
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.
3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.
4 Do what I tell you and keep my rules. I am the Lord your God.
4 Mis derechos pondréis por obra, y mis estatutos guardaréis, andando en ellos: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
4 You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am Yahweh your God.
5 If you keep my rules and do what I tell you, you will live. I am the Lord.
5 Por tanto mis estatutos y mis derechos guardaréis, los cuales haciendo el hombre, vivirá en ellos: Yo Jehová.
5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.
6 Don't have sex with a close relative.
6 Ningún varón se allegue á ninguna cercana de su carne, para descubrir [su] desnudez: Yo Jehová.
6 “‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.
7 Don't shame your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother; don't have sex with her.
7 La desnudez de tu padre, ó la desnudez de tu madre, no descubrirás: tu madre es, no descubrirás su desnudez.
7 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 Don't have sex with any of your father's wives and shame your father.
8 La desnudez de la mujer de tu padre no descubrirás; es la desnudez de tu padre.
8 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
9 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.
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.
9 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.
10 Don't have sex with your granddaughter, your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, because that would be a shameful thing for you.
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.
10 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness; for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 Don't have sex with the daughter of any of your father's wives or the daughter of your father. She 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.
11 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
12 Don't have sex with your father's sister. She is a close relative of your father.
12 La desnudez de la hermana de tu padre no descubrirás: es parienta de tu padre.
12 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.
13 Don't have sex with your mother's sister. She is a close relative of your mother.
13 La desnudez de la hermana de tu madre no descubrirás: porque parienta de tu madre es.
13 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
14 Don't bring shame on your uncle by having sex with his wife. She is your aunt.
14 La desnudez del hermano de tu padre no descubrirás: no llegarás á su mujer: es mujer del hermano de tu padre.
14 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.
15 Don't have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife. Don't have sex with her.
15 La desnudez de tu nuera no descubrirás: mujer es de tu hijo; no descubrirás su desnudez.
15 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 Don't have sex with your brother's wife and bring shame on your brother.
16 La desnudez de la mujer de tu hermano no descubrirás: es la desnudez de tu hermano.
16 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
17 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.
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.
17 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.
18 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.
18 No tomarás mujer juntamente con su hermana, para hacerla su rival, descubriendo su desnudez delante de ella en su vida.
18 “‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.
19 Don't have sex with a woman during the time she is unclean because of her period.
19 Y no llegarás á la mujer en el apartamiento de su inmundicia, para descubrir su desnudez.
19 “‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
20 Don't commit any sex act with any other man's wife. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
20 Además, no tendrás acto carnal con la mujer de tu prójimo, contaminándote en ella.
20 “‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
21 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.
21 Y no des de tu simiente para hacerla pasar [por el fuego] á Moloch; no contamines el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
21 “‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
22 Don't have sex with a man as with a woman. That is something disgusting.
22 No te echarás con varón como con mujer: es abominación.
22 “‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.
23 Don't have sex with any animal. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
23 Ni con ningún animal tendrás ayuntamiento amancillándote con él; ni mujer alguna se pondrá delante de animal para ayuntarse con él: es confusión.
23 “‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
24 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.
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:
24 “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 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.
25 Y la tierra fué contaminada; y yo visité su maldad sobre ella, y la tierra vomitó sus moradores.
25 The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
26 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.
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.
26 You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you
27 The people who lived in the land before you practiced all these disgusting things, and the land became polluted.
27 (Porque todas estas abominaciones hicieron los hombres de la tierra, que fueron antes de vosotros, y la tierra fué contaminada:)
27 (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),
28 If you pollute the land, it will vomit you out just like it did the nations before you.
28 Y la tierra no os vomitará, por haberla contaminado, como vomitó á la gente que fué antes de vosotros.
28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Consequently anyone who does any of these disgusting things must be expelled from their people.
29 Porque cualquiera que hiciere alguna de todas estas abominaciones, las personas que las hicieren, serán cortadas de entre su pueblo.
29 “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 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.”
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.
30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’”
