1 El Señor le dio a Moisés estas otras instrucciones
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 para el pueblo de Israel: «Cualquiera que viva en medio de ustedes, sea israelita o extranjero, que presente a su hijo en sacrificio al dios Moloc será condenado a muerte. Todo el pueblo lo matará a pedradas.
2 “Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.
3 Yo mismo me volveré contra aquel hombre y lo eliminaré del pueblo, por haber dado su hijo a Moloc, pues con ello habrá hecho que mi santuario sea indigno de mi presencia, y habrá insultado mi santo nombre.
3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 Y si el pueblo no se da por enterado de lo que el hombre ha hecho, y se niegan a darle muerte,
4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death,
5 yo mismo me pondré en contra de aquel hombre y de su familia, y los eliminaré de mi pueblo, junto con todos los demás que se vuelvan a dioses ajenos.
5 then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
6 »Me pondré en contra de cualquier persona que consulte a adivinos y a hechiceros, en vez de consultarme a mí, y los eliminaré de mi pueblo.
6 “‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 »Santifíquense y sean santos, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios.
7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.
8 »Obedezcan todos mis mandamientos, porque yo soy el Señor que los santifica.
8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.
9 »El que maldiga a su padre o a su madre deberá morir, pues ha maldecido a su propia sangre.
9 “‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
10 »Si un hombre comete adulterio con la esposa de otro hombre, el hombre y la mujer deben morir.
10 “‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 »Si un hombre duerme con la esposa de su padre, ha deshonrado a su padre. Y el hombre y la mujer deberán morir, pues son culpables.
11 “‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
12 »Y si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con su nuera, ambos serán condenados a muerte. Lo merecen por haberse contaminado mutuamente.
12 “‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
13 »El hombre que tenga relaciones sexuales con otro hombre comete un horrible pecado. Los dos hombres serán condenados a muerte, y sólo ellos serán culpables de su muerte.
13 “‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
14 »Si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con una mujer y con la madre de esta, comete un grave delito. Los tres serán quemados vivos para erradicar la maldad de entre ustedes.
14 “‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.
15 »Si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con un animal, será condenado a muerte, y también se matará al animal.
15 “‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
16 Si una mujer tiene relaciones sexuales con un animal, será condenada a muerte, y también se matará al animal.
16 “‘If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
17 »Si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con su hermana, sea la hija de su padre o de su madre, comete un pecado, y ambos serán ejecutados en público. Por haberlo hecho, se hacen culpables de su pecado.
17 “‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.
18 »Si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con una mujer durante su período menstrual, ambos serán expulsados de su pueblo.
18 “‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19 »Están prohibidas las relaciones sexuales entre un hombre y su tía soltera, ya sea hermana de su padre o de su madre, porque son parientes cercanos; los dos serán responsables de su pecado.
19 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.
20 Si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con la esposa de su tío, ha avergonzado a su tío. Tanto el hombre como la mujer serán considerados culpables, y morirán sin tener hijos.
20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.
21 »Si un hombre tiene relaciones sexuales con la esposa de su hermano, comete un acto detestable, y deshonra a su hermano. Tanto el hombre como la mujer serán considerados culpables, y morirán sin tener hijos.
21 “‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.
22 »Guarden, pues, todas mis leyes y ordenanzas, para que no los arroje de la nueva tierra.
22 “‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
23 Apártense de las costumbres de las naciones que he echado delante de ustedes, porque ellas hacen todas estas cosas que les he prohibido a ustedes, y esa es la razón por la que las aborrecí.
23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 Yo he prometido darles a ustedes la tierra de ellos. Se la daré para que la posean. Es una tierra de la que fluye leche y miel. »Yo soy el Señor, que hago distinción entre ustedes y las otras naciones.
24 But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
25 Por tanto, harán distinción entre las aves y animales impuros que no pueden comer y los que sí pueden comer. No se contaminen ustedes mismos ni se hagan odiosos delante de mí, comiendo animales o aves que yo les haya prohibido, aunque la tierra esté llena de ellos.
25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
26 Sean santos delante de mí, porque yo el Señor soy santo, y los he apartado de las otras naciones para que sean míos.
26 You shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 »Cualquier adivino o hechicero, hombre o mujer, será apedreado hasta morir, y será responsable de su castigo».
27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”

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).
… put no obstacle to godliness in our way, if we are ever carried away by ingratitude, and, forgetting their benefits to us, hold them in contempt, then the oracle will have place which says, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
