Deuteronomy 23
1 “Any man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall not be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.
El castrado por aplastamiento o corte no entrará en la asamblea de Yahvé.
2 “No (illegitimate person/person whose mother and father were not married), or descendant of that person, extending to the tenth generation, shall be included as one of Yahweh’s people.
El nacido de una unión prohibida no entrará en la asamblea de Yahvé; hasta la décima generación nadie de él entrará en la asamblea de Yahvé.
3 “No one from the Ammon or Moab people-groups shall be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people, extending to the tenth generation.
El amonita o el moabita no entrarán en la asamblea de Yahvé; hasta la décima generación nadie de ellos entrará en la asamblea de Yahvé para siempre,
4 One reason is that their [leaders] refused to give your ancestors food and water when they were traveling from Egypt [to Canaan]. Another reason is that they wanted to pay Balaam, the son of Beor from Pethor [town] in Mesopotamia, to curse you Israelis.
porque no te salieron al encuentro con pan y agua en el camino cuando saliste de Egipto, y porque contrataron contra ti a Balaam, hijo de Beor, de Pethor de Mesopotamia, para que te maldijera.
5 But Yahweh our God did not pay attention to Balaam; instead, he caused Balaam to bless your ancestors, because Yahweh loved them.
Sin embargo, Yahvé vuestro Dios no quiso escuchar a Balaam, sino que Yahvé vuestro Dios convirtió la maldición en una bendición para ti, porque Yahvé vuestro Dios te amaba.
6 As long as Israel is a nation, you must not do anything to cause things to go well for those two people-groups or enable them to prosper.
No buscarás su paz ni su prosperidad en todos tus días.
7 “But do not despise anyone from the Edom people-group, because they are [descendants of your ancestor Jacob], just like you are. And do not despise people from Egypt, because [they treated your ancestors well when] they first lived in Egypt.
No aborrecerás a un edomita, porque es tu hermano. No aborrecerás a un egipcio, porque viviste como extranjero en su tierra.
8 The children and grandchildren of people from Edom and Egypt [who live among you] may be (included among/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.”
Los hijos de la tercera generación que nazcan de ellos podrán entrar en la asamblea de Yahvé.
9 “When your soldiers are living in tents at a time of fighting your enemies, they must avoid doing things that would make them unacceptable to God.
Cuando salgáis a acampar contra vuestros enemigos, os guardaréis de toda cosa mala.
10 If any soldier becomes unacceptable to God because semen comes out of his body during the night, [the next morning] he must go outside the camp and stay there during that day.
Si hay entre vosotros algún hombre que no esté limpio a causa de lo que le ocurra de noche, saldrá fuera del campamento. No entrará en el campamento;
11 But in the evening of that day, he must bathe himself, and at sunset he is allowed to come back into the camp.
sino que, cuando llegue la noche, se bañará en agua. Cuando se ponga el sol, entrará en el campamento.
12 “Your soldiers must have a toilet area outside the camp where you can go [when you need to].
Tendrás también un lugar fuera del campamento donde harás tus necesidades.
13 [When you go to fight against your enemies], carry a stick along with your weapons, in order that when you need to defecate [EUP], you can dig a hole with the stick, and then cover up the hole [when you have finished defecating].
Tendrás una paleta entre tus armas. Cuando hagas tus necesidades, cavarás con ella, y volverás a cubrir tus excrementos;
14 You must keep the camp acceptable to Yahweh our God, because he is with you in your camp to protect you and to enable you to defeat your enemies. Do not do anything disgraceful/indecent that would cause Yahweh to abandon you.”
porque el Señor, tu Dios, camina en medio de tu campamento, para librarte y entregar a tus enemigos delante de ti. Por eso tu campamento será santo, para que no vea en ti nada impuro y se aparte de ti.
15 “If slaves who escape from their masters come to you [and request you to protect them], do not send them back to their masters.
No entregarás a su amo un siervo que se haya escapado de su amo hacia ti.
16 Allow them to stay/live among you, in whatever town they choose, and do not mistreat them.
Él habitará con vosotros, en medio de vosotros, en el lugar que elija dentro de una de vuestras puertas, donde mejor le parezca. No lo oprimirás.
17 “Do not [allow] any Israeli man or woman [to] become a prostitute at the temple.
No habrá prostituta de las hijas de Israel, ni habrá sodomita de los hijos de Israel.
18 Also, do not allow any people who earned money from being a prostitute to bring any of that money into the temple of Yahweh our God, even if they solemnly promised to pay that money to Yahweh. Yahweh hates those who are prostitutes.
No traerás el alquiler de una prostituta, ni el salario de un prostituto, a la casa de Yahvé vuestro Dios por ningún voto; porque ambas cosas son una abominación para Yahvé vuestro Dios.
19 “When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israeli, do not charge them interest.
No prestarás a tu hermano con intereses: intereses de dinero, intereses de alimentos, intereses de cualquier cosa que se preste con intereses.
20 You are allowed to charge interest when you lend money to foreigners [who live in your land], but not when you lend money to Israelis. Do this in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Podrás cobrarle intereses a un extranjero, pero no le cobrarás intereses a tu hermano, para que el Señor, tu Dios, te bendiga en todo lo que hagas en la tierra a la que entras a poseer.
21 “When you vow to give something to Yahweh your God [or to do something for him], do it as soon as you can. Yahweh expects you to do what you promised, and if you do not do it, you will be committing a sin.
Cuando hagas un voto a Yahvé, tu Dios, no te descuides en pagarlo, porque Yahvé, tu Dios, te lo exigirá con toda seguridad; y sería pecado en ti.
22 But if you [SYN] do not vow [to do something], that is not sinful.
Pero si te abstienes de hacer un voto, no será pecado en ti.
23 But if you voluntarily promise to do something, you must do it.
Deberás cumplir y hacer lo que ha salido de tus labios. Todo lo que hayas prometido a Yahvé vuestro Dios como ofrenda voluntaria, lo que hayas prometido con tu boca, debes hacerlo.
24 “When you walk through someone else’s vineyard, you are allowed to [pick and] eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not [cut some from a vine and carry them away] in a container.
Cuando entres en la viña de tu prójimo, podrás comer tu ración de uvas a tu antojo; pero no pondrás ninguna en tu recipiente.
25 When you walk [along a path] in someone else’s field of grain, you are allowed to pluck/pick some of the grain and eat it, but you must not cut any grain with a sickle [and take it with you].”
Cuando entres en el grano en pie de tu prójimo, podrás arrancar las espigas con tu mano; pero no usarás la hoz en el grano en pie de tu prójimo.
