Exodus 23
1 Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.
No admitirás falso rumor, ni concertarás con el perverso para ser testigo falso.
2 Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:
No seguirás a la mayoría para hacer el mal, ni testificarás en alguna contienda, al inclinarte a la mayoría para pervertir la justicia.
3 But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.
No favorecerás al pobre en su pleito.
4 If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.
Si encuentras extraviado el buey o el asno de tu enemigo, ciertamente lo regresarás a él.
5 If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.
Cuando veas el asno del que te aborrece caído debajo de su carga, ¿te abstendrás de ayudarlo? Más bien le ayudarás a levantarlo.
6 Let no wrong decisions be given in the poor man's cause.
No pervertirás la justicia para el necesitado en su pleito.
7 Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.
Te alejarás de acusaciones falsas, y no condenarás a muerte al inocente ni al justo, porque Yo no justificaré al culpable.
8 Take no rewards in a cause: for rewards make blind those who have eyes to see, and make the decisions of the upright false.
No aceptarás soborno porque el soborno ciega al de vista clara y pervierte las palabras de los justos.
9 Do not be hard on the man from a strange country who is living among you; for you have had experience of the feelings of one who is far from the land of his birth, because you yourselves were living in Egypt, in a strange land.
No oprimirás al extranjero, pues ustedes mismos conocen los sentimientos del extranjero, porque extranjeros fueron en la tierra de Egipto.
10 For six years put seed into your fields and get in the increase;
Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y recogerás su cosecha,
11 But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.
pero el séptimo la dejarás descansar sin cultivar para que los necesitados de tu pueblo coman, y de cualquier cosa que ellos dejen que la bestia del campo coma. Así harás con tu viña y con tu olivar.
12 For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.
Seis días trabajarás, pero en el séptimo día cesarás para que descanse tu buey y tu asno, y tome aliento el hijo de tu esclava y el extranjero.
13 Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.
Guardarán todo lo que les he dicho. No invoquen los nombres de otros ʼelohim, ni se oigan de sus labios.
14 Three times in the year you are to keep a feast to me.
Tres veces por año me celebrarán una fiesta.
15 You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:
Observarás la celebración de los Panes sin Levadura. Siete día s comerás Panes sin Levadura, como te ordené, en el tiempo señalado, el mes de Abib, porque en él saliste de Egipto. Y ninguno se presentará delante de Mí con las manos vacías.
16 And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.
También observarás la fiesta solemne de La Cosecha de los primeros frutos de tus labores de lo que sembraste en el campo, y la fiesta solemne de La Cosecha al final del año, cuando coseches el producto de tus labores del campo.
17 Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.
Tres veces al año todos tus varones comparecerán ante ʼAdonay Yavé.
18 Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning.
No degollarás ni derramarás la sangre de mi sacrificio sobre cosa leudada, ni la grasa de mi fiesta solemne quedará hasta la mañana.
19 The best of the first-fruits of your land are to be taken into the house of the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.
Llevarás las primicias de los primeros frutos de tu tierra a la Casa de Yavé tu ʼElohim. No cocerás el cabrito en la leche de su madre.
20 See, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on your way and to be your guide into the place which I have made ready for you.
Mira, Yo envío mi Ángel delante de ti para que te guarde en el camino, y te introduzca en el lugar que preparé.
21 Give attention to him and give ear to his voice; do not go against him; for your wrongdoing will not be overlooked by him, because my name is in him.
Cuídate delante de Él y escucha su voz. No te rebeles en contra de Él, porque Él no perdonará tu transgresión, puesto que mi Nombre está en Él.
22 But if you truly give ear to his voice, and do whatever I say, then I will be against those who are against you, fighting those who are fighting you.
Si escuchas atentamente su voz y haces todo lo que Yo te digo, entonces seré enemigo de tus enemigos y adversario de tus adversarios.
23 And my angel will go before you, guiding you into the land of the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and they will be cut off by my hand.
Porque mi Ángel irá delante de ti y te conducirá hacia el amorreo, al heteo, al ferezeo, al cananeo, al heveo y al jebuseo, y los exterminaré.
24 Do not go down on your faces and give worship to their gods, or do as they do; but overcome them completely, and let their pillars be broken down.
No te postrarás ante sus ʼelohim, ni les rendirás culto, ni harás según sus obras, sino les destruirás sus estelas y las destrozarás por completo.
25 And give worship to the Lord your God, who will send his blessing on your bread and on your water; and I will take all disease away from among you.
Servirás a Yavé tu ʼElohim. Él bendecirá tu pan y tu agua. Yo apartaré la enfermedad de en medio de ti.
26 All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.
No habrá en tu tierra mujer que aborte, ni estéril, y Yo cumpliré el número de tus días.
27 I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.
Enviaré mi terror delante de ti y trastornaré a todo pueblo donde tú entres. Todos tus enemigos te darán la espalda.
28 I will send hornets before you, driving out the Hivite and the Canaanite and the Hittite before your face.
Delante de ti enviaré la avispa que expulsará de tu presencia al heveo, al cananeo y al heteo.
29 I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.
No los echaré de tu presencia en un año para que la tierra no quede desolada y se multipliquen contra ti las fieras del campo.
30 Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.
Poco a poco los echaré de tu presencia, hasta que te multipliques y tomes posesión de la tierra.
31 I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.
Estableceré tu frontera desde el mar Rojo hasta el mar de los filisteos, y desde el desierto hasta el Río, porque entregaré en tus manos a los habitantes de la tierra y tú los expulsarás de tu presencia.
32 Make no agreement with them or with their gods.
No harás pacto con ellos ni con sus ʼelohim.
33 Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.
No vivirán en tu tierra, no sea que te inciten a pecar contra Mí al rendir culto a sus ʼelohim, lo cual ciertamente te será una trampa.
