Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God a calf or a sheep, in which there is a blemish, [or] any evil thing; for it is an abomination to the Lord 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 And if there should be found in any one of your cities, which the Lord your God gives you, a man or a woman who shall do that which is evil before the Lord your God, so as to transgress 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 they should go and serve other gods, and worship them, the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which he commanded you not to do,
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 it be told you, and you shall have enquired diligently, and, behold, the thing really took place, this abomination has been 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 shall you bring out that man, or that woman, and you shall stone them with stones, and they shall die.
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 He shall die on the testimony of two or three witnesses; a man who is put to death shall not be put to death for one witness.
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 And the hand of the witnesses shall be upon him among the first to put him to death, and the hand of the people at the last; so shall you remove the evil one from among yourselves.
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 And if a matter shall be too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, and between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, and between contradiction and contradiction, matters of judgment in your cities;
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 then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and they shall search out [the matter] and report the judgment to you.
Y vendrás a los sacerdotes Levitas, y al juez que fuere en aquellos días; y preguntarás, y enseñarte han la palabra del juicio.
10 And you shall act according to the thing which they shall report to you out of the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall observe to do all whatever shall have been by law appointed to 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 You shall do according to the law and to the judgment which they shall declare to you: you shall not swerve to the right hand or to the left from any sentence which they shall report to you.
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 And the man whoever shall act in haughtiness, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to minister in the name of the Lord your God, or the judge who shall preside in those days, that man shall die, and you shall remove the evil one out of 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 And all the people shall hear and fear, and shall no more commit impiety.
Y todo el pueblo oirá, y temerá, y no se ensoberbecerán más.
14 And when you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall inherit it and dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a ruler over me, as also the other nations round about 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 over you the ruler whom the Lord God shall choose: of your brethren you shall set over you a ruler; you shall not have power to set over you a stranger, because he 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 For he shall not multiply to himself horses, and he shall by no means turn the people back to Egypt, lest he should multiply to himself horses; for the Lord said, You shall not any more turn back by that way.
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 And he shall not multiply to himself wives, lest his heart turn away; and 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 And when he shall be established in his government, then shall he write for himself this repetition of the law into a book by the hands of the priests the Levites;
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 and it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord your God, and to keep all these commandments, and to observe these ordinances:
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 be not lifted up above his brethren, that he depart not from the commandments on the right hand or on the left; that he and his sons may reign long in his dominion among the children 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.
