Deuteronomy 24
1 “Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from 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 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
Y salida de su casa, podrá casarse con otro marido.
3 and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
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 If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
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 some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
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 “Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
No se tome en prenda el molino, ni la muela superior; pues sería tomar en prenda la vida.
7 “If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
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 “If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to 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 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Acuérdate de lo que Yahvé, tu Dios, hizo a María en el camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto.
10 “When you lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
Si prestas a tu prójimo alguna cosa, no entrarás en su casa para tomarte su prenda.
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
Te quedarás afuera, y el hombre a quien has prestado te sacará fuera la prenda.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Y si el hombre es pobre, no te acostarás sobre su prenda;
13 When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
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 “Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
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 Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
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 “Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
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 must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
No tuerzas el derecho del extranjero ni del huérfano; ni tomes en prenda la ropa de la viuda.
18 Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
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 harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
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 And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
Al varear tus olivos, no revises después las ramas. (El resto) será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
21 [Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
Cuando vendimies tu viña, no hagas rebusco detrás de ti. Será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
22 Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
Recuerda que fuiste siervo en el país de Egipto; por eso te mando que hagas esto.
