Deuteronomy 24
1 “If a man takes a wife, and he has her, and she does not find favor before his eyes because of some vileness, then he shall write a bill of divorce, and he shall give it to her hand, and he shall dismiss her from his house.
Cuando alguno tomare mujer y se casare con ella, si después no le agradare por haber hallado en ella alguna cosa torpe, escribirle ha carta de repudio, y dársela ha en su mano, y enviarla ha de su casa.
2 And when, having departed, she has married another,
Y salida de su casa, irse ha, y casarse ha con otro varón.
3 and if he likewise hates her, and has given her a bill of divorce, and has dismissed her from his house, or if indeed he has died,
Y si la aborreciere el varón postrero, y le escribiere carta de repudio, y se la diere en su mano, y la enviare de su casa, o si muriere el varón postrero, que la tomó para sí por mujer;
4 then the former husband cannot take her back as a wife. For she has been polluted and has become abominable in the sight of the Lord. Otherwise, you may cause your land, which the Lord your God will deliver to you as a possession, to sin.
No podrá su marido el primero, que la envió, volverla a tomar, para que sea su mujer, después que fue inmunda, porque es abominación delante de Jehová, y no contaminarás la tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad.
5 When a man has recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, nor shall any public office be enjoined upon him. Instead, he shall be free at home without guilt, so that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
Cuando tomare alguno mujer nueva, no saldrá a la guerra, ni pasará sobre él alguna cosa: libre será en su casa por un año para alegrar a su mujer que tomó.
6 You shall not accept an upper or lower millstone as collateral. For then he will have placed his life with you.
No tomarás por prenda la muela de abajo y la muela de arriba; porque es prendar la vida.
7 If a man has been caught soliciting his brother among the sons of Israel, and selling him in order to receive a price, then he shall be put to death. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.
Cuando fuere hallado alguno que haya hurtado persona de sus hermanos los hijos de Israel, y hubiere mercadeado con ella, o la hubiere vendido, el tal ladrón morirá, y quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
8 Observe diligently, lest you incur the wound of leprosy. But you shall do whatever the priests of the Levitical stock shall teach you to do, according to what I have instructed them. And you shall fulfill it carefully.
Guárdate de llaga de lepra, guardando mucho, y haciendo según todo lo que os enseñaren los sacerdotes Levitas; como les he mandado lo guardaréis para hacer.
9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam, along the way, as you were departing from Egypt.
Acuérdate de lo que hizo Jehová tu Dios a María en el camino, después que salisteis de Egipto.
10 When you require from your neighbor anything that he owes to you, you shall not enter into his house in order to take away the collateral.
Cuando dieres a tu prójimo alguna cosa emprestada, no entrarás en su casa para tomarle prenda:
11 Instead, you shall stand outside, and he will carry out to you what he has.
Fuera estarás, y el hombre a quien prestaste te sacará a fuera la prenda.
12 But if he is poor, then the collateral shall not remain with you through the night.
Y si fuere hombre pobre, no duermas con su prenda.
13 Instead, you shall return it to him promptly, before the setting of the sun, so that, sleeping in his own garment, he may bless you, and you may have justice in the presence of the Lord your God.
Volviendo le volverás la prenda cuando el sol se ponga, porque duerma en su ropa; y bendecirte ha, y a ti será justicia delante de Jehová tu Dios.
14 You shall not refuse the pay of the indigent and the poor, whether he is your brother, or he is a new arrival who dwells with you in the land and is within your gates.
No hagas violencia al jornalero pobre y menesteroso así de tus hermanos como de tus extranjeros, que están en tu tierra en tus ciudades.
15 Instead, you shall pay him the price of his labor on the same day, before the setting of the sun. For he is poor, and with it he sustains his life. Otherwise, he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it would be charged to you as a sin.
En su día le darás su jornal, y el sol no se pondrá sobre él, porque pobre es, y con el sustenta su vida: porque no clame contra ti a Jehová, y sea en ti pecado.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death on behalf of the sons, nor the sons on behalf of the fathers, but each one shall die for his own sin.
Los padres no morirán por los hijos, ni los hijos por los padres, cada uno morirá por su pecado.
17 You shall not pervert the judgment of the new arrival or the orphan, nor shall you take away the widow’s garment as collateral.
No torcerás el derecho del peregrino y del huérfano: ni tomarás por prenda la ropa de la viuda.
18 Remember that you served in Egypt, and that the Lord your God rescued you from there. Therefore, I am instructing you to act in this way.
Mas acuérdate que fuiste siervo en Egipto, y de allí te rescató Jehová tu Dios: por tanto yo te mando que hagas esto.
19 When you have reaped the grain in your field, and, having forgotten, you leave behind a sheaf, you shall not return to take it away. Instead, you shall permit the new arrival, and the orphan, and the widow to take it away, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
Cuando segares tu segada en tu campo, y olvidares alguna gavilla en el campo, no volverás a tomarla: del extranjero, o del huérfano, o de la viuda será: porque te bendiga Jehová tu Dios en toda obra de tus manos.
20 If you have gathered the fruit of your olive trees, you shall not return in order to gather whatever may remain on the trees. Instead, you shall leave it behind for the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow.
Cuando sacudieres tus olivas, no ramonearás tras ti: del extranjero, y del huérfano, y de la viuda será:
21 If you harvest the vintage of your vineyard, you shall not gather the remaining clusters. Instead, they shall fall to the use of the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.
Cuando vendimiares tu viña, no rebuscarás tras ti, del extranjero, y del huérfano, y de la viuda será.
22 Remember that you also served in Egypt, and so, for this reason, I am instructing you to act in this way.”
Y acuérdate que fuiste siervo en tierra de Egipto: por tanto yo te mando que hagas esto.
