Levítico, 20

1. Habló Yahveh a Moisés y dijo:

1. The LORD said to Moses,

2. Dirás a los israelitas: Si un hombre cualquiera de entre los israelitas o de los forasteros que residen en Israel entrega uno de sus hijos a Mólek, morirá sin remedio; el pueblo de la tierra lo lapidara.

2. "Say to the people of Israel, Any man of the people of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his children to Molech shall be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3. Yo mismo volveré mi rostro contra ese hombre y los exterminaré de en medio de su pueblo, por haber entregado un hijo suyo a Mólek, haciendo impuro mi santuario y profanando mi nombre santo.

3. I myself will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy name.

4. Si el pueblo de la tierra cierra los ojos ante ese hombre que entregó uno de sus hijos a Mólek, y no le da muerte,

4. And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death,

5. yo mismo volveré mi rostro contra ese hombre y contra su familia, y lo exterminaré de entre su pueblo, a él y a todos los que como él se prostituyan tras Mólek.

5. then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in playing the harlot after Molech.

6. Si alguien consulta a los nigromantes, y a los adivinos, prostituyéndose en pos de ellos, yo volveré mi rostro contra él y lo exterminaré de en medio de su pueblo.

6. "If a person turns to mediums and wizards, playing the harlot after them, I will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

7. Santificaos y sed santos; porque yo soy Yahveh, vuestro Dios.

7. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God.

8. Guardad mis preceptos y cumplidlos. Yo soy Yahveh, el que os santifico.
