Exodus 23
1 You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness.
No admitirás falso rumor. No pongas tu mano con el impío para ser testigo falso.
2 You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgement.
No seguirás a los muchos para mal hacer, ni responderás en pleito acostándote tras los muchos para hacer tuerto.
3 And you shall not spare a poor man in judgement.
Ni al pobre honrarás en su causa.
4 And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
Si encontrares el buey de tu enemigo, o su asno errado, volviendo se lo volverás.
5 And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
Si vieres el asno del que te aborrece echado debajo de su carga, ¿dejarlo has entonces desamparado? ayudando ayudarás con él.
6 You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgement.
No pervertirás el derecho de tu mendigo en su pleito.
7 You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
De palabra de mentira te alejarás; y no matarás al inocente y justo; porque yo no justificaré al impío.
8 And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
No recibirás presente; porque el presente ciega a los que ven, y pervierte las palabras justas.
9 And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ítem, al extranjero no angustiarás; pues que vosotros sabéis el alma del extranjero, que fuisteis extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto.
10 Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y allegarás su cosecha:
11 But in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard.
Mas al séptimo la dejarás y soltarás, para que coman los pobres de tu pueblo; y lo que quedare comerán las bestias del campo: así harás de tu viña y de tu olivar.
12 Six days shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant and the stranger may be refreshed.
Seis días harás tus negocios; y al séptimo día holgarás, porque huelgue tu buey, y tu asno; y tome refrigerio el hijo de tu sierva, y el extranjero.
13 Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
Y en todo lo que os he dicho, seréis avisados. Y nombre de otros dioses no mentaréis, ni se oirá en vuestra boca.
14 Keep you a feast to me three times in the year.
Tres veces en el año me celebraréis fiesta.
15 Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty.
La fiesta de las cenceñas guardarás: siete días comerás los panes sin levadura, de la manera que yo te mandé, en el tiempo del mes de Abib, porque en él saliste de Egipto, y no serán vistas mis faces en vacío.
16 And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labours, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field.
Ítem, la fiesta de la segada de los primeros frutos de tus trabajos que hubieres sembrado en el campo. Y la fiesta de la cosecha a la salida del año, cuando cogieres tus trabajos del campo.
17 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.
Tres veces en el año parecerá todo varón tuyo delante del Señor Jehová.
18 For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.
No sacrificarás sobre pan leudo la sangre de mi sacrificio, ni el sebo de mi cordero quedará de la noche hasta la mañana.
19 You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk.
Las primicias de los primeros frutos de tu tierra traerás a la casa de Jehová tu Dios. No guisarás el cabrito con la leche de su madre.
20 And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
He aquí, yo envío el ángel delante de ti, para que te guarde en el camino, y te meta al lugar que yo he aparejado.
21 Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
Guárdate delante de él, y oye su voz, no le seas rebelde, porque él no perdonará a vuestra rebelión; porque mi nombre está en medio de él.
22 If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Porque si oyendo oyeres su voz, e hicieres todo lo que yo te dijere, seré enemigo a tus enemigos, y afligiré a los que te afligieren.
23 For my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
Porque mi ángel irá delante de ti, y te meterá al Amorreo, y al Jetteo, y al Ferezeo, y al Cananeo, y al Heveo, y al Jebuseo, los cuales yo haré cortar.
24 You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
No te inclinarás a sus dioses, ni los servirás, ni harás como ellos hacen, antes los destruirás del todo, y quebrantarás del todo sus estatuas.
25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
Mas a Jehová vuestro Dios serviréis, y él bendecirá tu pan, y tus aguas, y yo quitaré enfermedad de en medio de ti.
26 There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
No habrá amovedera ni estéril en tu tierra, y yo cumpliré el número de tus días.
27 And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
Yo enviaré mi terror delante de ti, y haré atónito a todo pueblo donde tú entrares; y te daré la cerviz de todos tus enemigos.
28 And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you.
Y yo enviaré la avispa delante de ti, que eche fuera al Heveo, y al Cananeo, y al Jetteo, de delante de ti.
29 I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
No lo echaré de delante de ti en un año, porque no se asuele la tierra, y se aumenten contra ti las bestias del campo.
30 By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
Poco a poco lo echaré de delante de ti, hasta que tú multipliques, y tomes la tierra por heredad.
31 And I will set your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
Y yo pondré tu término desde el mar Bermejo hasta la mar de Palestina: y desde el desierto, hasta el río; porque yo pondré en vuestras manos los moradores de la tierra, y tú los echarás de delante de ti.
32 You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
No harás alianza con ellos, ni con sus dioses.
33 And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offence to you.
En tu tierra no habitarán, porque quizá no te hagan pecar contra mí, sirviendo a sus dioses: porque te será por tropezón.
