Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox or a sheep in which is a defect or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
No sacrificarás a Jehová tu Dios buey, o cordero en el cual haya falta, o alguna cosa mala, que es abominación a Jehová tu Dios.
2 If there is found among you, within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in Yahweh your God’s sight in transgressing his covenant,
Cuando se hallare entre ti, en alguna de tus ciudades, que Jehová tu Dios te da, hombre, o mujer, que haya hecho mal en ojos de Jehová tu Dios traspasando su concierto;
3 and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded,
Que hubiere ido, y servido a dioses ajenos, y se hubiere inclinado a ellos, o al sol, o a la luna, o a todo el ejército del cielo, lo cual yo no mandé;
4 and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
Y te fuere dado aviso, y oyeres, y hubieres buscado bien, y la cosa ha parecido de verdad cierta, que tal abominación ha sido hecha en Israel;
5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
Entonces sacarás al hombre o mujer, que hubiere hecho esta mala cosa, a tus puertas, hombre o mujer, y apedrearlos has con piedras, y morirán.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Por dicho de dos testigos, o de tres testigos, morirá el que hubiere de morir: no morirá por el dicho de un solo testigo.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
La mano de los testigos será primero sobre él, para matarle, y la mano de todo el pueblo después: y quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh your God chooses.
Cuando alguna cosa te fuere oculta en juicio entre sangre y sangre, entre causa y causa, y entre llaga y llaga en negocios de rencillas en tus ciudades, entonces levantarte has, y subirás al lugar que Jehová tu Dios escogiere:
9 You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall inquire, and they shall give you the verdict.
Y vendrás a los sacerdotes Levitas, y al juez que fuere en aquellos días; y preguntarás, y enseñarte han la palabra del juicio.
10 You shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which Yahweh chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you.
Y harás según la palabra que ellos te enseñaren del lugar que Jehová escogiere, y guardarás que hagas según todo lo que te enseñaren.
11 According to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn away from the sentence which they announce to you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Según la ley, que ellos te enseñaren, y según el juicio que te dijeren, harás: de la palabra que te enseñaren, no te apartarás ni a diestra ni a siniestra.
12 The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.
Y el hombre que hiciere con soberbia no obedeciendo al sacerdote que está para ministrar allí, delante de Jehová tu Dios, o al juez, el tal varón morirá: y quitarás el mal de Israel.
13 All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Y todo el pueblo oirá, y temerá, y no se ensoberbecerán más.
14 When you have come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”
Cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da y la heredares, y habitares en ella, y dijeres: Pondré rey sobre mí, como todas las gentes que están en mis al derredores;
15 you shall surely set him whom Yahweh your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
Poniendo pondrás por rey sobre ti al que Jehová tu Dios escogiere: de entre tus hermanos pondrás rey sobre ti: no podrás poner sobre ti hombre extranjero, que no sea tu hermano.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”
Solamente que no se aumente caballos, ni haga volver el pueblo a Egipto para aumentar caballos: porque Jehová os ha dicho: No procuraréis de volver más por este camino.
17 He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Ni aumentará para sí mujeres, porque su corazón no se aparte: ni plata ni oro se multiplicará mucho.
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.
Y será que cuando se asentare sobre la silla de su reino, escribirá para sí un traslado de esta ley en un libro, tomándolo de delante de los sacerdotes Levitas;
19 It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
El cual tendrá consigo, y leerá en él todos los días de su vida, para que aprenda a temer a Jehová su Dios, para guardar todas las palabras de aquesta ley, y estos estatutos para hacerlos;
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away from the commandment to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the middle of Israel.
Para que no se eleve su corazón sobre sus hermanos, ni se aparte del mandamiento a diestra ni a siniestra, porque alargue días en su reino él, y sus hijos en medio de Israel.
