Deuteronomy 21
1 If it will be found [one] slain in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you to take possession of it lying in the open country not it is known who? did he strike him.
Es posible que encuentres a un hombre asesinado, tirado en un campo en el país que el Señor tu Dios te da, y que nadie sepa quién lo mató.
2 And they will go out elders your and judges your and they will measure to the cities which [are] around the [one] slain.
Tus ancianos y jueces deben venir y medir la distancia del cuerpo a los pueblos de alrededor.
3 And it will be the city near to the [one] slain and they will take [the] elders of the city that a heifer of [the] herd which not it has been worked by it which not it has dragged by a yoke.
Entonces los ancianos del pueblo que se encuentren más cerca del cuerpo tomarán una vaca que nunca haya sido sometida a un yugo o utilizada para el trabajo.
4 And they will bring down [the] elders of the city that the heifer to a wadi ever-flowing which not it is tilled in it and not it is sown and they will break [the] neck of there the heifer in the wadi.
Llevarán la vaca a un valle que tenga un arroyo que lo atraviese y cuya tierra nunca haya sido arada o sembrada. Rómpele el cuello a la vaca allí, junto al arroyo.
5 And they will draw near the priests [the] sons of Levi for them he has chosen Yahweh God your to serve him and to bless in [the] name of Yahweh and on mouth their it will be every dispute and every wound.
Los sacerdotes levitas deben estar allí también, porque el Señor tu Dios los ha elegido para servirle y para dar bendiciones en su nombre, y para decidir sobre las disputas legales y los casos de asalto.
6 And all [the] elders of the city that near to the [one] slain they will wash hands their over the heifer broken necked in the wadi.
Entonces todos los ancianos del pueblo más cercano al cuerpo deben lavarse las manos en el arroyo sobre la vaca muerta, diciendo,
7 And they will answer and they will say hands our not (they shed *Q(K)*) the blood this and eyes our not they saw.
“No tuvimos nada que ver con este asesinato, y no vimos quién lo hizo.
8 Make atonement for people your Israel which you ransomed O Yahweh and may not you put blood innocent in [the] midst of people your Israel and it will be atoned for for them the blood.
Señor, por favor perdona a tu pueblo Israel, a quien rescataste, y no lo hagas culpable de derramar sangre inocente. De esta manera la culpa por derramar sangre será perdonada”.
9 And you you will remove the blood innocent from midst your for you will do the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Así es como deberán quitarse la culpa de derramar sangre inocente, ya que han hecho lo que es correcto a los ojos del Señor.
10 If you will go out to war on enemies your and he will give him Yahweh God your in hand your and you will take captive captive[s] his.
Cuando vayan a la guerra con sus enemigos y el Señor su Dios los entregue en derrota y los capturen,
11 And you will see among the [female] captive[s] a woman beautiful of appearance and you will love her and you will take [her] for yourself to a wife.
es posible que vean que uno de ellos es una mujer hermosa que les gusta y con la que se quieren casar.
12 And you will bring her into [the] middle of house your and she will shave head her and she will attend to finger-nails her.
Llévenla a casa y hagan que se afeite la cabeza, que se corte las uñas,
13 And she will remove [the] clothing of captivity her from on her and she will dwell in house your and she will weep for father her and mother her a month of days and after thus you will go into her and you will be husband her and she will become of you a wife.
y que se deshaga de la ropa que llevaba puesta cuando fue capturada. Después de que haya vivido en tu casa y haya terminado su mes de luto por su padre y su madre, puedes dormir con ella y casarte con ella, y será tu esposa.
14 And it will be if not you delight in her and you will let go her for self her and certainly not you will sell her for money not you will treat as a slave her because that you have humiliated her.
Sin embargo, si no eres feliz con ella, debes dejarla ir donde ella quiera. No se te permite venderla por dinero o tratarla como una esclava, porque la has avergonzado.
15 If they will belong to a man two wives the one [is] loved and the one [is] hated and they will bear to him sons the loved [one] and the hated [one] and he will belong the son the firstborn to the hated [wife].
Si un hombre tiene dos esposas, una que ama y otra que no, y ambas tienen hijos a su cargo, pero el hijo primogénito es de la esposa que no ama,
16 And it will be on [the] day causes to inherit he sons his [that] which it will belong to him not he will be able to treat as firstborn [the] son the loved [one] on [the] face of [the] son of the hated [one] the firstborn.
cuando llegue el momento de que el hombre decida lo que cada hijo heredará de él, no debe preferir al hijo de la esposa que ama y tratarlo como primogénito en lugar del hijo de la esposa que no ama.
17 That the firstborn [the] son of the hated [one] he will acknowledge by giving to him a mouth of two in all that it will be found to him for he [is] [the] beginning of manly vigor his [belongs] to him [the] claim of the birthright.
Sino que debe reconocer al primogénito, el hijo de la esposa que no ama por medio de la costumbre habitual de darle una doble porción de todo lo que posee. El hijo primogénito es la primicia de la fuerza de su padre, y por lo tanto los derechos del primogénito son suyos.
18 If he will belong to anyone a son stubborn and rebellious not he [is] listening to [the] voice of father his and to [the] voice of mother his (and they will discipline *L(abh)*) him and not he will listen to them.
Si alguien tiene un hijo obstinado y rebelde que no obedece a sus padres y no les obedece ni siquiera cuando está castigado,
19 And they will seize him father his and mother his and they will bring out him to [the] elders of city his and to [the] gate of place his.
sus padres deben llevarlo a los ancianos del pueblo, al tribunal de su ciudad natal,
20 And they will say to [the] elders of city his son our this [is] stubborn and rebellious not he [is] listening to voice our a glutton and a drunkard.
y decirles: “Nuestro hijo es obstinado y rebelde, no nos obedece. ¡Es un borracho inútil!”
21 And they will stone him all [the] men of city his with stones and he will die and you will remove the evil from midst your and all Israel they will hear and they may fear.
Entonces todos los hombres de su pueblo lo apedrearán hasta la muerte. Deben eliminar el mal de entre ustedes, y todo israelita se enterará y tendrá miedo.
22 And if it will be in anyone a sin of a sentence of death and he will be put to death and you will hang him on a tree.
Si alguien comete un crimen castigado con la muerte, y la persona es ejecutada colgando de un árbol,
23 Not it will remain overnight corpse his on the tree for certainly you will bury him on the day that for [is] a curse of God [one who] is hanged and not you will make unclean land your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance.
no dejes el cuerpo colgando allí de la noche a la mañana. Asegúrate de enterrar el cuerpo el mismo día, porque cualquiera que sea colgado está bajo la maldición de Dios. No profanen el país que el Señor su Dios les ha dado para que lo posean.
