1 The Lord told Moses,
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2 “Tell all the Israelites: You must be holy because I am holy; I am the Lord your God.
2 Habla á toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y diles: Santos seréis, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
3 Show respect for your mother and father, and keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
3 Cada uno temerá á su madre y á su padre, y mis sábados guardaréis: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
4 Don't turn to idols for help or make metal images of gods. I am the Lord your God.
4 No os volveréis á los ídolos, ni haréis para vosotros dioses de fundición: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
5 When you sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, make sure you do it correctly so God will accept you.
5 Y cuando sacrificareis sacrificio de paces á Jehová, de vuestra voluntad lo sacrificaréis.
6 It needs to be eaten the day you sacrifice it, or the next day. Whatever is left over on the third day must be burned.
6 Será comido el día que lo sacrificareis, y el siguiente día: y lo que quedare para el tercer día, será quemado en el fuego.
7 If you do eat some of it on the third day, the sacrifice becomes repulsive and won't be accepted.
7 Y si se comiere el día tercero, será abominación; no será acepto:
8 Anyone who eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt, for they have made unclean what is holy to the Lord. They must be expelled from their people.
8 Y el que lo comiere, llevará su delito, por cuanto profanó lo santo de Jehová; y la tal persona será cortada de sus pueblos.
9 When you harvest the crops grown on your land, don't harvest right up to the edges of your field, or collect what has been missed.
9 Cuando segareis la mies de vuestra tierra, no acabarás de segar el rincón de tu haza, ni espigarás tu tierra segada.
10 Don't take every last grape from your vineyard or pick up the ones that have fallen. Leave them for the poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.
10 Y no rebuscarás tu viña, ni recogerás los granos caídos de tu viña; para el pobre y para el extranjero los dejarás: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
11 Don't steal. Don't lie. Don't deceive each other.
11 No hurtaréis, y no engañaréis, ni mentiréis ninguno á su prójimo.
12 Don't swear oaths in my name that are not true, otherwise you defame the character of your God. I am the Lord.
12 Y no juraréis en mi nombre con mentira, ni profanarás el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
13 Don't cheat others or rob them. Don't refuse to pay wages due to workers until the morning.
13 No oprimirás á tu prójimo, ni [le] robarás. No se detendrá el trabajo del jornalero en tu casa hasta la mañana.
14 Don't speak badly about deaf people. Don't put objects in the way of blind people to trip them up. Instead show respect to your God. I am the Lord.
14 No maldigas al sordo, y delante del ciego no pongas tropiezo, mas tendrás temor de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
15 Don't be a corrupt judge. Don't show favoritism to the poor or to the rich. Judge others fairly.
15 No harás agravio en el juicio: no tendrás respeto al pobre, ni honrarás la cara del grande: con justicia juzgarás á tu prójimo.
16 Don't go around spreading false rumors about people. Don't keep quiet when the lives of others are at risk. I am the Lord.
16 No andarás chismeando en tus pueblos. No te pondrás contra la sangre de tu prójimo: Yo Jehová.
17 Don't hold onto hateful feelings towards others. Talk honestly with your neighbors, so that you don't sin because of them.
17 No aborrecerás á tu hermano en tu corazón: ingenuamente reprenderás á tu prójimo, y no consentirás sobre él pecado.
18 Don't look for revenge or hold a grudge against anybody, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
18 No te vengarás, ni guardarás rencor á los hijos de tu pueblo: mas amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo: Yo Jehová.
19 Do what I tell you! Don't make different kinds of livestock breed together. Don't sow your fields with two different kinds of seed. Don't wear clothes made of two different kinds of material.
19 Mis estatutos guardaréis. A tu animal no harás ayuntar para misturas; tu haza no sembrarás con mistura de semillas, y no te pondrás vestidos con mezcla de diversas cosas.
20 If a man has sex with a servant girl promised to become another man's wife, but who hasn't yet been bought or set free, then compensation has to be paid. However, they are not to be killed, because she hadn't been set free.
20 Y cuando un hombre tuviere cópula con mujer, y ella fuere sierva desposada con alguno, y no estuviere rescatada, ni le hubiere sido dada libertad, ambos serán azotados: no morirán, por cuanto ella no es libre.
21 But the man must bring a ram as his guilt offering to the Lord at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
21 Y él traerá á Jehová, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, un carnero en expiación por su culpa.
22 The priest will set things right for him before the Lord using the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and his sin will be forgiven.
22 Y con el carnero de la expiación lo reconciliará el sacerdote delante de Jehová, por su pecado que cometió: y se le perdonará su pecado que ha cometido.
23 When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, treat the fruit at first as unclean. For three years you are forbidden to eat it.
23 Y cuando hubiereis entrado en la tierra, y plantareis todo árbol de comer, quitaréis su prepucio, lo primero de su fruto: tres años os será incircunciso: su fruto no se comerá.
24 The fourth year all the fruit must be dedicated to the Lord as a praise offering.
24 Y el cuarto año todo su fruto será santidad de loores á Jehová.
25 However, the fifth year you may eat the fruit and in this way you will have an even greater harvest. I am the Lord your God.
25 Mas al quinto año comeréis el fruto de él, para que os haga crecer su fruto: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
26 Don't eat meat with blood in it. Don't use fortune-telling or witchcraft.
26 No comeréis cosa alguna con sangre. No seréis agoreros, ni adivinaréis.
27 Don't cut your hair on the sides of your head or trim the sides of your beard,
27 No cortaréis en redondo las extremidades de vuestras cabezas, ni dañarás la punta de tu barba.
28 don't cut your bodies in some pagan ritual for the dead, and don't get yourselves tattoos. I am the Lord.
28 Y no haréis rasguños en vuestra carne por un muerto, ni imprimiréis en vosotros señal alguna: Yo Jehová.
29 Don't bring shame on your daughter by making her a prostitute, otherwise the land will become morally and spiritually depraved.
29 No contaminarás tu hija haciéndola fornicar: porque no se prostituya la tierra, y se hincha de maldad.
30 Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
30 Mis sábados guardaréis, y mi santuario tendréis en reverencia: Yo Jehová.
31 Don't try and find help from mediums or spiritists—don't even go looking for them, otherwise they will corrupt you. I am the Lord your God.
31 No os volváis á los encantadores y á los adivinos: no los consultéis ensuciándoos con ellos: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
32 Stand up and be respectful of older people. Show reverence for your God. I am the Lord.
32 Delante de las canas te levantarás, y honrarás el rostro del anciano, y de tu Dios tendrás temor: Yo Jehová.
33 Don't mistreat foreigners who live in your country.
33 Y cuando el extranjero morare contigo en vuestra tierra, no le oprimiréis.
34 Treat them in the same way as a fellow citizen, and love them as you love yourself, because you were once foreigners living in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
34 Como á un natural de vosotros tendréis al extranjero que peregrinare entre vosotros; y ámalo como á ti mismo; porque peregrinos fuisteis en la tierra de Egipto: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
35 Don't use dishonest weights and measures.
35 No hagáis agravio en juicio, en medida de tierra, ni en peso, ni en otra medida.
36 Make sure your scales and weights are accurate, that your measures of ephah and hin are correct. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt.
36 Balanzas justas, pesas justas, epha justo, é hin justo tendréis: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto.
37 Keep all my rules and regulations, and make sure you follow them. I am the Lord.”
37 Guardad pues todos mis estatutos, y todos mis derechos, y ponedlos por obra: Yo Jehová.

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?
