Deuteronomy 23

1 “A eunuch, one whose testicles have been debilitated or cut off, or whose penis has been cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord.

No entrará en la congregación de Jehová el quebrado de quebradura, ni el castrado.

2 The offspring of a harlot, that is, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation.

No entrará bastardo en la congregación de Jehová: ni aun en la décima generación entrará en la congregación de Jehová.

3 The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation, shall not enter into the church of the Lord forever,

No entrará Ammonita ni Moabita en la congregación de Jehová: ni aun en la décima generación entrará en la congregación de Jehová para siempre,

4 because they were not willing to meet you with bread and water along the way, when you had departed from Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam, the son of Beor, from Mesopotamia in Syria, in order to curse you.

Por cuanto no os salieron a recibir con pan y agua al camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto, y porque alquiló contra ti a Balaam hijo de Beor de Petor de Mesopotamia de Siria, para que te maldijese.

5 But the Lord your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he turned his cursing into your blessing, because he loves you.

Mas no quiso Jehová tu Dios oír a Balaam, y Jehová tu Dios te volvió la maldición en bendición, porque Jehová tu Dios te amaba.

6 You shall not make peace with them, nor shall you seek their prosperity, throughout all the days of your life forever.

No procurarás la paz de ellos, ni el bien de ellos en todos los días para siempre.

7 You shall not abhor anyone from Idumea, for he is your brother, nor the Egyptian, for you were a new arrival in his land.

No abominarás al Idumeo, que tu hermano es. No abominarás al Egipcio, que extranjero fuiste en su tierra.

8 Those who have been born of them, in the third generation, shall enter into the church of the Lord.

Los hijos que nacieren de ellos, a la tercera generación entrarán en la congregación de Jehová.

9 When you have gone out to war against your enemies, you shall keep yourself from everything that is evil.

Cuando salieres en campo contra tus enemigos, guárdate de toda cosa mala.

10 If there is a man among you who has been defiled by a dream in the night, he shall depart from the camp.

Cuando hubiere en ti alguno que no fuere limpio por accidente de noche, saldráse del campo, y no entrará en él.

11 And he shall not return before the evening, after he has washed with water, and then, after the sun sets, he shall return to the camp.

Y será que al declinar de la tarde lavarse ha con agua, y cuando fuere puesto el sol, entrará en el campo.

12 You shall have a place beyond the camp to which you may go for the necessities of nature,

Y tendrás lugar fuera del real, y allí saldrás fuera.

13 carrying a small shovel at your belt. And when you would sit down, you shall dig around, and then, with the soil that was dug up, you shall cover

Y tendrás una estaca entre tus armas, y será, que cuando fueres fuera, cavarás con ella, y tornarás, y cubrirás tu suciedad.

14 that from which you were relieved. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, in order to rescue you, and to deliver your enemies to you. And so, let your camp be holy, and let nothing filthy appear within it, lest he abandon you.

Porque Jehová tu Dios anda por medio de tu campo para librarte, y entregar tus enemigos delante de ti: por tanto será tu real santo: porque él no vea en ti cosa inmunda, y se vuelva de en pos de ti.

15 You shall not deliver a servant who has fled to you to his master.

No entregarás el siervo a su señor, que se huyere a ti de su amo.

16 He shall live with you in a place that pleases him, and he shall rest in one of your cities. You shall not grieve him.

More contigo, en medio de ti, en el lugar que escogiere en alguna de tus ciudades donde bien le estuviere: no le harás fuerza.

17 There shall be no prostitutes among the daughters of Israel, nor anyone among the sons of Israel who visits a prostitute.

No habrá ramera de las hijas de Israel, ni habrá sodomita de los hijos de Israel.

18 You shall not offer money from a prostitute, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord your God, no matter what you may have vowed. For both of these are an abomination with the Lord your God.

No traerás precio de ramera ni precio de perro a la casa de Jehová tu Dios por ningún voto; porque abominación es a Jehová tu Dios también lo uno como lo otro.

19 You shall not lend money, or grain, or anything else at all, to your brother at interest,

No tomarás de tu hermano logro de dinero, ni logro de comida, ni logro de cualquiera cosa de que se suele tomar.

20 but only to a foreigner. For you shall lend to your brother whatever he needs without interest, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works in the land, which you shall enter so as to possess it.

Del extraño tomarás logro, mas de tu hermano no le tomarás, porque te bendiga Jehová tu Dios en toda obra de tus manos sobre la tierra a la cual entras para heredarla.

21 When you have made a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not be late in paying it. For the Lord your God demands it. And if you delay, it shall be imputed to you as a sin.

Cuando prometieres voto a Jehová tu Dios, no tardarás de pagarlo; porque demandando lo demandará Jehová tu Dios de ti, y habrá en ti pecado:

22 If you are not willing to make a promise, then it shall be without sin.

Y cuando te detuvieres de prometer, no habrá en ti pecado:

23 But as soon as it has departed from your lips, you shall observe and do just as you have promised to the Lord your God and just as you have spoken by your own free will and with your own mouth.

Lo que tus labios pronunciaren, guardarás, y harás como prometiste a Jehová tu Dios lo que de tu voluntad hablaste por tu boca.

24 Upon entering your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you please. But you may not carry any out with you.

Cuando entrares en la viña de tu prójimo, comerás uvas hasta hartar tu deseo; mas no pondrás en tu vaso.

25 If you enter into your friend’s grain field, you may break off the ears, and rub them in your hand, but you may not reap them with a sickle.”

Cuando entrares en la mies de tu prójimo, cortarás espigas con tu mano, mas no alzarás hoz en la mies de tu prójimo.
