KJV King James Version (with Apocrypha)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God [am] holy.
2 Habla á toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y diles: Santos seréis, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
3 ¶ Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his 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 ¶ Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten 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 ¶ And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
5 Y cuando sacrificareis sacrificio de paces á Jehová, de vuestra voluntad lo sacrificaréis.
6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
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 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; it shall not be accepted.
7 Y si se comiere el día tercero, será abominación; no será acepto:
8 Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his 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 ¶ And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
9 Cuando segareis la mies de vuestra tierra, no acabarás de segar el rincón de tu haza, ni espigarás tu tierra segada.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: 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 ¶ Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
11 No hurtaréis, y no engañaréis, ni mentiréis ninguno á su prójimo.
12 ¶ And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
12 Y no juraréis en mi nombre con mentira, ni profanarás el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
13 ¶ Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him:] the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night 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 ¶ Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy 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 ¶ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
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 ¶ Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I [am] the LORD.
16 No andarás chismeando en tus pueblos. No te pondrás contra la sangre de tu prójimo: Yo Jehová.
17 ¶ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
17 No aborrecerás á tu hermano en tu corazón: ingenuamente reprenderás á tu prójimo, y no consentirás sobre él pecado.
18 ¶ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: 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 ¶ Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
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 ¶ And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that [is] a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not 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 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering.
21 Y él traerá á Jehová, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, un carnero en expiación por su culpa.
22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
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 ¶ And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
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 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD [withal].
24 Y el cuarto año todo su fruto será santidad de loores á Jehová.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: 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 ¶ Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
26 No comeréis cosa alguna con sangre. No seréis agoreros, ni adivinaréis.
27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
27 No cortaréis en redondo las extremidades de vuestras cabezas, ni dañarás la punta de tu barba.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.
28 Y no haréis rasguños en vuestra carne por un muerto, ni imprimiréis en vosotros señal alguna: Yo Jehová.
29 ¶ Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
29 No contaminarás tu hija haciéndola fornicar: porque no se prostituya la tierra, y se hincha de maldad.
30 ¶ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.
30 Mis sábados guardaréis, y mi santuario tendréis en reverencia: Yo Jehová.
31 ¶ Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: 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 ¶ Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy 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 ¶ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
33 Y cuando el extranjero morare contigo en vuestra tierra, no le oprimiréis.
34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of 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 ¶ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
35 No hagáis agravio en juicio, en medida de tierra, ni en peso, ni en otra medida.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land 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 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do 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).

  1. Quotes verse 19:18 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapters XIII–XIII)

    "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?
