Deuteronomy 22
1 “If you see some Israeli’s ox or sheep that has strayed away, do not act as though you did not see it. Take it back [to its owner].
Cuando veas extraviado el buey de tu hermano, o su oveja, no pasarás de largo, sino que los conducirás a tu hermano.
2 But if the owner does not live near you, or if you do not know who the owner is, take the animal to your house. [It can stay with you] until the owner comes, searching for it. Then you must give the animal to him.
Si tu hermano no es vecino tuyo, y tú no lo conoces, recogerás el animal en tu casa y estará contigo hasta que tu hermano lo busque; entonces se lo devolverás.
3 You must do the same thing if you see a donkey, or a piece of clothing, or anything else that someone has lost. Do not refuse to do what you should do.
Así harás también con su asno, y así harás con su manto, y así harás con toda cosa que tu hermano hubiere perdido y tú encuentres; no podrás sentirte desinteresado.
4 “And if you see a fellow Israeli’s donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, do not act as though you did not see it. Help the owner to lift the animal up [so that it can stand on its feet again].
Si ves el asno de tu hermano o su buey caído en el camino, no te pases de largo, sino que le ayudarás a levantarlos.
5 “Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Yahweh our God hates people who do things like that.
La mujer no se vista de hombre, ni lleve el hombre vestido de mujer; porque quien tal hace es objeto de abominación para Yahvé, tu Dios.
6 “If you happen to find a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting in the nest on its eggs or with the baby birds, do not take the mother bird [and kill it].
Si encuentras delante de ti en el camino, en un árbol, o en el suelo, un nido de pájaros con polluelos o huevos, estando la madre echada sobre los polluelos o los huevos, no tomarás la madre juntamente con los polluelos.
7 You are permitted to take the baby birds, but you must allow the mother bird to fly away. Do this in order that things will go well for you and that you will live for a long time.
Soltarás a la madre y tomarás para ti solamente los hijos, para que te vaya bien y vivas largo tiempo.
8 “If you build a new house, you must put a (railing/low wall) around the edge of the roof. If you do that, and if someone falls off the roof [and dies], (you will not be guilty of causing that person to die/his death [MTY] will not be your fault).
Al edificar una casa nueva, pondrás un pretil alrededor de tu terrado, para que no traigas culpa de sangre sobre tu casa si alguien se cayera de él.
9 “Do not plant any crop in the area where your grapevines are growing. If you do, you are not allowed to harvest the crops that you have planted or to harvest the grapes [to make wine from them].
No sembrarás en tu viña dos clases de semillas; por cuanto todo sería inmundo, tanto la semilla que siembras como el producto de la viña.
10 “Do not hitch together an ox and a donkey [for plowing your fields].
No ararás con yunta de buey y asno.
11 “Do not wear clothing that is made by weaving together (wool and linen/two different kinds of thread).
No vistas ropa tejida de lana mezclada con lino.
12 “[Twist threads together to] make tassels and sew/fasten them on the four bottom corners of your cloak.
Te harás borlas en las cuatro puntas del manto con que te cubres.
13 “Suppose a man marries a young woman and has sex with her and later decides that he does not want her any more,
Si un hombre después de tomar mujer y haberse llegado a ella, le tomare aversión,
14 and he says false things about her, and claims that she was not a virgin when he married her.
e imputándole acciones vergonzosas la difamare, diciendo: ‘Tomé a esta mujer más al acercarme a ella no la he hallado virgen’;
15 If that happens, the young woman’s parents must take the sheet that was on the bed when that man and their daughter were married, which still has bloodstains on it, and show it to the elders of the city at the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city.
entonces el padre y la madre de la joven tomarán las señales de la virginidad de la joven y las presentarán delante de los ancianos en la puerta de la ciudad.
16 Then the father of the young woman must say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But now he says that he doesn’t want her any more.
Y dirá el padre de la joven a los ancianos: ‘He dado mi hija a este hombre por mujer, mas él le ha tomado aversión,
17 And he has falsely said that she was not a virgin when he married her. But look! Here is what proves that my daughter was a virgin! Look at the bloodstains on the sheet where they slept the night that they were married!’ And he will show the sheet to the elders.
y le ha imputado acciones vergonzosas, diciendo: ‹No la he hallado virgen›; ved aquí las señales de la virginidad de mi hija’; y desplegarán la ropa de ella ante los ancianos de la ciudad.
18 Then the elders of that city must take that man and whip him.
Y los ancianos de la ciudad tomarán al hombre y lo castigarán.
19 They shall require that he pay a fine of 100 pieces of silver and give the money to the father of the young woman, because the man caused an Israeli young woman to be disgraced. Also, that woman must continue to live with him; she is his wife. He is not allowed to divorce her during the rest of his life.
Y lo multarán con cien siclos de plata, que darán al padre de la joven, por haber difamado a una virgen de Israel; y ella quedará mujer suya. Nunca en todos sus días podrá repudiarla.
20 “But if what the man said is true, and there is nothing to prove that she was a virgin when he married her,
Pero si la acusación es verdad, no hallándose en la joven las señales de la virginidad,
21 they must take that young woman to the door of her father’s house. Then the men of that city must execute her by throwing stones at her. They must do that because she has done something in Israel that is very disgraceful, by having sex with some man [while she was still living] in her father’s house. By executing her like that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
sacarán a la joven a la puerta de la casa de su padre, y los hombres de su ciudad la apedrearán para que muera; porque cometió una infamia en Israel, fornicando en casa de su padre. Así extirparás el mal de en medio de ti.
22 “If a man is caught while he is having sex with another man’s wife, both of them must be executed. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice in Israel.
Cuando un hombre fuere hallado acostado con una mujer casada, entrambos morirán; el hombre que se acostó con la mujer, y la mujer. Así extirparás el mal de en medio de Israel.
23 “Suppose in some town a man sees a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married to another man, and he is caught having sex with [EUP] her.
Si un hombre encuentra dentro de la ciudad a una doncella virgen, desposada con un hombre, y se acuesta con ella;
24 You must take both of them to the (gate of/central meeting place in) that town. There you must execute them both by throwing stones at them. You must execute the young woman because she did not shout for help even though she was in the town. And the man must be executed because he had sex [EUP] with someone who was already engaged/promised to be married. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
sacaréis a entrambos a la puerta de aquella ciudad, y los apedrearéis para que mueran, a la joven por no haber gritado, estando como estaba en la ciudad, y al hombre por cuanto deshonró a la mujer de su prójimo. Así extirparás el mal de en medio de ti.
25 “But suppose out in the open countryside a man meets a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married, and he rapes her. If that happens, only that man must be executed.
Pero si el hombre halla a la joven desposada en el campo, y haciéndole fuerza se acuesta con ella, morirá solo el hombre que se acostó con ella.
26 You must not punish the young woman, because she did not do anything for which she deserves to be executed. This case is like when one man attacks another man [in the countryside] and murders him,
A la joven, empero, no le harás nada; no hay en ella pecado digno de muerte; pues así como alguno se levanta contra su prójimo y le mata, así es este caso;
27 because the man who raped her saw her when she was in the open countryside, and even though she called out for help, there was no one there who could rescue her.
porque la halló en el campo; la joven desposada dio voces pero no hubo quien la socorriese.
28 “If a man rapes a young woman who is not engaged/promised to be married, if someone sees him while he is doing that,
Si encuentra un hombre a una joven virgen, no desposada, y echándole mano, se acostare con ella, y son sorprendidos,
29 that man must pay 50 pieces of silver to the young woman’s father, and he must marry her, because he forced her to have sex with him. He is not allowed to divorce her for the rest of his life.
aquel que se acostó con ella pagará al padre de la joven cincuenta siclos de plata, y ella será su mujer, por haberla él deshonrado; no podrá despedirla en toda su vida.
30 “man must not disgrace his father by having sex with any of his father’s wives.”
Ninguno tomará la mujer de su padre, ni levantará la colcha del lecho de su padre.
