Deuteronomy 24
1 “When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
Si un hombre toma una mujer, casándose con ella, y resulta que ella luego no le agrada porque ha hallado en ella algo vergonzoso, le escribirá un libelo de repudio, y entregándoselo en la mano la despedirá de su casa.
2 when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
Y salida de su casa, podrá casarse con otro marido.
3 and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,
Si también el segundo marido concibe aversión a ella, y le escribe un libelo de repudio, y poniéndoselo en la mano la despide de su casa, o si muere el segundo marido que la tomó por mujer;
4 her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
entonces su primer marido que la había despedido no podrá volver a tomarla por mujer, después de haberse ella manchado; porque esto es abominable ante Yahvé. No cargues de pecado a la tierra que Yahvé, tu Dios, te va a dar por herencia.
5 When a man takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.
Un recién casado no saldrá a campaña, ni se le imponga cargo alguno. Quede libre para su casa por un año, para que alegre a la mujer que ha tomado.
6 No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
No se tome en prenda el molino, ni la muela superior; pues sería tomar en prenda la vida.
7 When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.
Cuando se descubriere un hombre que secuestrando a uno de sus hermanos de entre los hijos de Israel le haya esclavizado o vendido, el tal ladrón morirá. Así extirparás el mal de en medio de ti.
8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;
En cuanto a la plaga de la lepra, pon cuidado en guardar y hacer escrupulosamente todo lo que te enseñaren los sacerdotes levitas; según yo les he mandado, así cuidarás de hacer.
9 remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
Acuérdate de lo que Yahvé, tu Dios, hizo a María en el camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto.
10 When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
Si prestas a tu prójimo alguna cosa, no entrarás en su casa para tomarte su prenda.
11 you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
Te quedarás afuera, y el hombre a quien has prestado te sacará fuera la prenda.
12 And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
Y si el hombre es pobre, no te acostarás sobre su prenda;
13 you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.
sino que le devolverás la prenda al ponerse el sol, para que pueda dormir sobre su ropa y te bendiga. Esto te será imputado como acto de justicia ante Yahvé, tu Dios.
14 You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your gates;
No oprimas al jornalero pobre y menesteroso de entre tus hermanos, ni de entre los extranjeros que habitan en tu país dentro de tus ciudades.
15 you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.
El mismo día le darás su salario, y no se ponga el sol sobre esta deuda, porque es un pobre y lo necesita; no sea que clame contra ti a Yahvé y tú te cargues con culpa.
16 Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each put to death for his own sin.
No han de morir los padres por culpa de los hijos, ni los hijos han de morir por culpa de los padres, sino que cada hombre morirá por su propio pecado.
17 You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
No tuerzas el derecho del extranjero ni del huérfano; ni tomes en prenda la ropa de la viuda.
18 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
Acuérdate de que fuiste siervo en Egipto, y que Yahvé, tu Dios, te rescató de allí; por eso te mando que hagas esto.
19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hands.
Cuando al segar tus mieses en tu campo olvidares alguna gavilla en el campo, no volverás atrás a recogerla; será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda, a fin de que te bendiga Yahvé, tu Dios, en todas las obras de tus manos.
20 When you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Al varear tus olivos, no revises después las ramas. (El resto) será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
21 When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
Cuando vendimies tu viña, no hagas rebusco detrás de ti. Será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
22 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
Recuerda que fuiste siervo en el país de Egipto; por eso te mando que hagas esto.
