Deuteronomy 22
1 “You do not see the ox of your brother or his sheep driven away, and have hidden yourself from them, you certainly turn them back to your brother;
Si ves a la vaca o a la oveja de alguien deambulando por ahí, no la ignores. Asegúrate de llevársela a su dueño.
2 and if your brother [is] not near to you, and you have not known him, then you have removed it to the midst of your house, and it has been with you until your brother seeks it, and you have given it back to him;
Si su dueño no vive cerca de ti, o si no sabes quién es, llévate el animal a casa y guárdalo hasta que el dueño venga a buscarlo, entonces puedes devolverlo.
3 and so you do to his donkey, and so you do to his garment, and so you do to any lost thing of your brother’s, which is lost by him, and you have found it; you are not able to hide yourself.
Haz lo mismo con cualquier otra cosa que encuentres que alguien haya perdido: un asno, una capa, cualquier cosa. No lo ignores.
4 You do not see the donkey of your brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and have hid yourself from them; you certainly raise [them] up for him.
Si ves un asno o una vaca que se ha caído en el camino, no lo ignores. Ayúdalo a levantarse.
5 Anything of a man is not on a woman, nor does a man put on the garment of a woman, for anyone doing these [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
Una mujer no debe usar ropa de hombre, y un hombre no debe usar ropa de mujer. Cualquiera que haga esto ofende al Señor tu Dios.
6 When a bird’s nest comes before you in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, [with] brood or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the brood or on the eggs, you do not take the mother with the young ones;
Si encuentras un nido de pájaros con pollos o huevos, ya sea en un árbol o en el suelo al lado del camino, y la madre está sentada sobre los pollos o los huevos, no lleves a la madre con las crías.
7 you certainly send the mother away, and take the young ones for yourself, so that it is well with you and you have prolonged days.
Puedes llevarte a las crías, pero asegúrate de dejar ir a la madre, para que te vaya bien y tengas una buena y larga vida.
8 When you build a new house, then you have made a parapet for your roof, and you do not put blood on your house when one falls from it.
Cuando construyas una casa nueva, asegúrate de instalar una barandilla alrededor del techo, para que no te culpen si alguien muere al caer de él.
9 You do not sow your vineyard [with] two kinds [of seed], lest the fullness of the seed which you sow and the increase of the vineyard be separated.
No plantestu viñedo con otro tipo de cultivo. De lo contrario, todo lo que produzcas, la cosecha que hayas plantado y el fruto de tu viñedo, deben ser dedicados al Señor.
10 You do not plow with an ox and with a donkey together.
No se debe unir un buey y un asno cuando se ara.
11 You do not put on mixed material, wool and linens together.
No uses ropa hecha de lana y lino tejidas juntas.
12 You make fringes for yourself on the four skirts of your covering with which you cover [yourself].
Pon borlas en el dobladillo de la capa que usas para cubrirte.
13 When a man takes a wife, and has gone in to her, and hated her,
Si un hombre se casa con una mujer y se acuesta con ella, pero termina odiándola,
14 and laid evil deeds of words against her, and brought out an evil name against her, and said, I have taken this woman, and I draw near to her, and I have not found proofs of virginity in her;
y la acusa de ser inmoral, dándole un mal nombre, diciendo: “Me casé con esta mujer y me acosté con ella, pero descubrí que no era virgen”.
15 then the father of the girl, and her mother, have taken and brought out the girl’s proofs of virginity to [the] elderly of the city in the gate,
Los padres de la mujer llevarán la prueba de su virginidad a los ancianos a la puerta del pueblo,
16 and the father of the girl has said to the elderly, I have given my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hates her;
y el padre les explicará: “Di mi hija en matrimonio a este hombre, pero él ha acabado odiándola.
17 and behold, he has laid evil deeds of words, saying, I have not found proofs of virginity for your daughter—and these [are] the proofs of virginity of my daughter! And they have spread out the garment before [the] elderly of the city.
Ahora la ha acusado de ser inmoral, diciendo: ‘Descubrí que su hija no era virgen’. Pero aquí está la prueba de su virginidad”. Los padres extenderán la sábana delante de los ancianos del pueblo.
18 And [the] elderly of that city have taken the man, and discipline him,
Entonces los ancianos de esa ciudad tomarán al hombre y lo castigarán.
19 and fined him one hundred pieces of silver, and given [them] to the father of the girl, because he has brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel; and she is to him for a wife—he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.
También le multarán con cien siclos de plata y le darán el dinero al padre de la joven, porque este hombre ha dado un mal nombre a una virgen israelita. Ella seguirá siendo su esposa; no se le permite divorciarse de ella mientras viva.
20 And if this thing has been truth—proofs of virginity have not been found for the girl—
Pero si la acusación es cierta y no hay pruebas de la virginidad de la mujer,
21 then they have brought out the girl to the opening of her father’s house, and the men of her city have stoned her with stones and she has died, for she has done folly in Israel, to go whoring [in] her father’s house; and you have put away evil out of your midst.
ésta será llevada a la puerta de la casa de su padre y allí los hombres de su pueblo la apedrearán hasta matarla. Ella ha hecho algo vergonzoso en Israel al actuar inmoralmente en la casa de su padre. Deben eliminar el mal de entre ustedes.
22 When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them have died—the man who is lying with the woman, and the woman; and you have put away evil out of Israel.
Si se encuentra a un hombre durmiendo con la mujer de otro, tanto el hombre como la mujer deben morir. Debes eliminar el mal de Israel.
23 When there is a girl, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man has found her in a city and lain with her,
Si un hombre encuentra a una joven, una virgen comprometida con otro hombre, y se acuesta con ella allí en el pueblo,
24 then you have brought them both out to the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: the girl, because that she has not cried in a city; and the man, because that he has humbled his neighbor’s wife; and you have put away evil out of your midst.
entonces debes llevarlos a ambos a la puerta del pueblo y apedrearlos hasta la muerte. La joven es culpable porque no gritó por ayuda en el pueblo, y el hombre es culpable porque ha avergonzado a la prometida de otro. Deben eliminar el mal de entre ustedes.
25 And if the man finds the girl who is betrothed in a field, and the man has laid hold on her, and lain with her, then the man who has lain with her has died alone;
Sin embargo, si el hombre encuentra por casualidad a una mujer que está comprometida en el campo, y la ataca y la viola, sólo el hombre tiene que morir.
26 and you do not do anything to the girl—the girl has no deadly sin; for as a man rises against his neighbor and has murdered him, [taking] a life, so [is] this thing;
No le haga nada a la mujer, porque no ha cometido un pecado que se pueda castigar con la muerte. (Esta es la misma situación que cuando un hombre ataca a otra persona y la asesina).
27 for he found her in a field, [and when] she has cried—the girl who is betrothed—then she has no savior.
Cuando el hombre violó a la mujer que estaba comprometida en el campo, ella gritó, pero no había nadie para rescatarla.
28 When a man finds a girl, a virgin who is not betrothed, and has caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,
Si un hombre encuentra por casualidad a una virgen no comprometida, y la agarra y la viola, y alguien los ve,
29 then the man who is lying with her has given fifty pieces of silver to the father of the girl, and she is to him for a wife; because that he has humbled her, he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.
el hombre debe pagar al padre de la mujer cincuenta siclos de plata, y debe casarse con ella porque la ha avergonzado. No se le permite divorciarse de ella mientras viva.
30 A man does not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt.”
El hombre no debe casarse con la mujer de su padre, para no avergonzarlo.
