Deuteronomy 16
1 Take note of the month of Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God: for in the month of Abib the Lord your God took you out of Egypt by night.
Guarda el mes de Abib y celebra la Pascua para Yavé tu ʼElohim, porque el mes de Abib, de noche, Yavé tu ʼElohim te sacó de Egipto.
2 The Passover offering, from your flock or your herd, is to be given to the Lord your God in the place marked out by him as the resting-place of his name.
Sacrificarás a Yavé tu ʼElohim la pascua de tus ovejas y de tu ganado vacuno en el lugar que Yavé escoja para que more allí su Nombre.
3 Take no leavened bread with it; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread, that is, the bread of sorrow; for you came out of the land of Egypt quickly: so the memory of that day, when you came out of the land of Egypt, will be with you all your life.
Nada leudado comerás con ella. Siete días comerás con ella pan sin levadura, el pan de aflicción, porque saliste a prisa de la tierra de Egipto, para que todos los días de tu vida recuerdes el día cuando saliste de la tierra de Egipto.
4 For seven days let no leaven be used through all your land; and nothing of the flesh which is put to death in the evening of the first day is to be kept through the night till morning.
Durante siete días no se hallará levadura en tu casa, en ningún lugar de tu territorio. De la carne que sacrifiques al llegar la noche del primer día nada quedará para la mañana.
5 The Passover offering is not to be put to death in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you:
No podrás sacrificar la pascua en cualquiera de las ciudades que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da,
6 But in the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place of his name, there you are to put the Passover to death in the evening, at sundown, at that time of the year when you came out of Egypt.
sino en el lugar que Yavé tu ʼElohim escoja para que more allí su Nombre. Allí sacrificarás la pascua al llegar la noche, a la puesta del sol, en la hora cuando saliste de Egipto.
7 It is to be cooked and taken as food in the place marked out by the Lord: and in the morning you are to go back to your tents.
La asarás y la comerás en el lugar que Yavé tu ʼElohim escoja, y por la mañana regresarás e irás a tus tiendas.
8 For six days let your food be unleavened bread; and on the seventh day there is to be a holy meeting to the Lord your God; no work is to be done.
Seis días comerás panes sin levadura, y el séptimo día será una asamblea solemne para Yavé tu ʼElohim. Ninguna obra harás.
9 Let seven weeks be numbered from the first day when the grain is cut.
Contarás siete semanas. Cuando la hoz comience a cortar las espigas, comenzarás a contar las siete semanas.
10 Then keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, with an offering freely given to him from the wealth he has given you:
Entonces celebrarás la fiesta de Las Semanas a Yavé tu ʼElohim con un tributo de ofrenda voluntaria de tu mano, según te bendijo Yavé tu ʼElohim.
11 Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.
Se regocijarán en presencia de Yavé tu ʼElohim en el lugar que Yavé tu ʼElohim escoja para que more allí su Nombre, tú, tu hijo y tu hija, tu esclavo y tu esclava, el levita que esté en tu ciudad, el extranjero, el huérfano y la viuda que estén en medio de ti.
12 And you will keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: and you will take care to keep all these laws.
Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto. Por tanto, tendrás cuidado en observar estos Preceptos.
13 You are to keep the feast of tents for seven days after you have got in all your grain and made your wine:
Cuando termines la recolección de tu era y tu lagar, celebrarás la fiesta de las Cabañas durante siete días.
14 You are to keep the feast with joy, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you.
Se regocijarán en tus fiestas, tú, tu hijo y tu hija, tu esclavo y tu esclava, el levita, el extranjero, el huérfano y la viuda que estén en tus ciudades.
15 Keep the feast to the Lord your God for seven days, in the place marked out by the Lord: because the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy.
Siete días celebrarás para Yavé tu ʼElohim en el lugar que Yavé escoja, pues Yavé tu ʼElohim te bendecirá en toda tu cosecha y en toda obra de tus manos, de modo que ciertamente estarás alegre.
16 Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;
Cada año aparecerán tres veces todos tus varones delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim en el lugar que Él escoja: en la fiesta de Los Panes sin Levadura, en la fiesta de Las Semanas y en la fiesta de Las Cabañas. No se presentarán delante de Yavé con las manos vacías.
17 Every man is to give as he is able, in the measure of the blessing which the Lord your God has given you.
Cada uno dará lo que pueda, conforme a la bendición que Yavé tu ʼElohim te dio.
18 You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.
En todas las ciudades que Yavé tu ʼElohim dé a tus tribus, designarás jueces y alguaciles, quienes juzgarán al pueblo con juicio justo.
19 You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.
No torcerás la justicia. No serás parcial ni recibirás soborno. Porque el soborno ciega los ojos de los sabios y pervierte las palabras de los justos.
20 Let righteousness be your guide, so that you may have life, and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Perseguirás la justicia, solo la justicia, para que vivas y poseas la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da.
21 Let no holy tree of any sort be planted by the altar of the Lord your God which you will make.
Junto al altar de Yavé tu ʼElohim que harás para ti, no pondrás Asera de ninguna clase,
22 You are not to put up stone pillars, for they are hated by the Lord your God.
ni te erigirás estatua, lo cual aborrece Yavé tu ʼElohim.
