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].
Si ves extraviado el buey o la oveja de tu hermano, no te desentenderás de ellos. Ciertamente los regresarás 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, o no lo conoces, los recogerás en tu casa. Estarán contigo hasta que tu hermano los busque, y se los regresarás.
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 también harás con su asno, su ropa, y cualquier cosa que tu hermano pierda y tú la halles. No puedes desentenderte de ellas.
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, caídos en el camino, no te desentenderás de ellos. Te esforzarás con él en 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 vestirá ropa de hombre, ni el hombre vestirá ropa de mujer, porque es repugnancia a Yavé tu ʼElohim cualquiera que hace esto.
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].
Cuando por el camino encuentres un nido de pájaro con polluelos o huevos en cualquier árbol o en el suelo, y la madre esté echada sobre los polluelos o sobre los huevos, no tomarás a la madre con las crías.
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.
Deja ir a la madre y tomarás para ti las crías, a fin de que te vaya bien y prolongues tus días.
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).
Cuando construyas una casa nueva, harás pretil a tu terraza, no sea que si alguno cae de allí, eches delito de sangre sobre tu casa.
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 tu viña con semilla de dos clases, no sea que quede confiscado tanto el fruto de la semilla que sembraste como el producto de la viña.
10 “Do not hitch together an ox and a donkey [for plowing your fields].
No ararás con un buey y un asno juntos.
11 “Do not wear clothing that is made by weaving together (wool and linen/two different kinds of thread).
No vestirás una tela mezclada de lana y 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 de tu manto con el cual 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 toma esposa, y después de convivir con ella, la aborrece,
14 and he says false things about her, and claims that she was not a virgin when he married her.
la acusa de conducta vergonzosa y públicamente la difama, y dice: Tomé a esta mujer, pero cuando me uní a ella hallé que no era 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 la evidencia de su virginidad y la llevarán a 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.
El padre de la muchacha declarará ante ellos: Di mi hija a este hombre como esposa, y él la aborrece.
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.
Ciertamente la acusa de conducta vergonzosa y dice: Hallé que tu hija no era virgen. Pero esta es la evidencia de la virginidad de mi hija, y extenderá el paño ante los ancianos de la ciudad.
18 Then the elders of that city must take that man and whip him.
Entonces 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 le impondrán una multa de 1,1 kilogramos de plata, que entregarán al padre de la joven, por cuanto esparció mala fama sobre una virgen de Israel. Él la recibirá como esposa, y no podrá repudiarla en todos sus días.
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 este asunto es verdad, que no se halló evidencia de virginidad en la joven,
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.
entonces la sacarán a la puerta de la casa de su padre, y los hombres de su ciudad la apedrearán hasta que muera, por cuanto hizo vileza en Israel al fornicar en casa de su padre. Así quitarás 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.
Si alguno es sorprendido unido a una mujer casada, ambos morirán, el hombre que se unió con la mujer, y también la mujer. Así quitarás el mal 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 una joven virgen está comprometida con un hombre, y alguno la encuentra en la ciudad y se une 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.
sacarán a ambos a la puerta de aquella ciudad, y los apedrearán. Morirán por esto: la muchacha, porque al estar en la ciudad no gritó, y el hombre, porque humilló a la esposa de su prójimo. Así quitarás 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 encuentra a la joven comprometida en el campo, y la fuerza para unirse con ella, entonces morirá solo el hombre que se unió 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 nada le harás. La muchacha no tiene pecado digno de muerte, pues es como cuando un hombre se levanta contra su prójimo y lo 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 en el campo la halló, y la joven comprometida gritó, pero no hubo alguno que la auxiliara.
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 un hombre halla a una joven virgen que no está comprometida, y al agarrarla se une con ella, y son descubiertos,
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.
el hombre que se unió con ella dará al padre de la joven 550 gramos de plata, y ella será su esposa, pues él la violó. No podrá repudiarla en todos sus días.
30 “man must not disgrace his father by having sex with any of his father’s wives.”
Ninguno tomará la esposa de su padre. No levantará la falda de su padre.
