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.
Cuando alguno tome una mujer, y se case con ella, y suceda que ella no le agrada porque halló en ella alguna cosa reprochable, y él le escribe un certificado de divorcio, se lo entrega en su mano y la echa de su casa;
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
cuando ella salga de la casa de él, va y se casa con otro hombre;
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 el segundo esposo la aborrece, le escribe certificado de divorcio, lo coloca en su mano y la despide de su casa, o si muere este último esposo que la tomó como esposa,
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.”
al primer esposo que la despidió no le será permitido tomarla de nuevo como esposa, después que fue envilecida, pues esto es repugnancia delante de Yavé. No corromperás la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da como heredad.
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.
Cuando alguno esté recién casado, no entrará al ejército ni se le impondrá alguna obligación. Estará libre en su casa durante un año para alegrar a la esposa que tomó.
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.
Ninguna de las dos piedras del molino tomarás como prenda, ni la de abajo ni la de arriba, pues sería igual a tomar la vida como prenda.
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.
Si se descubre a alguno que secuestró a uno de sus hermanos hijos de Israel, y lo esclavizó o lo vendió, tal secuestrador morirá. Así quitarás 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, ten cuidado de observar con diligencia todo lo que les enseñen los sacerdotes levitas, y en obrar conforme a ello. Como les mandé a ellos, así harás con cuidado.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Recuerda lo que Yavé tu ʼElohim hizo a Miriam en el camino, cuando salieron 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].
Cuando prestes algo a tu prójimo, no entres en su casa para tomar tu 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 prestaste te sacará la prenda.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Si el hombre es pobre, no duermas con 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.
Sin falta le regresarás la prenda cuando el sol se oculte para que duerma con su ropa y te bendiga, y te será justicia delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
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 oprimirás al jornalero pobre y necesitado de tus hermanos o de los extranjeros que están en tu tierra, dentro de tus puertas.
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.
En su día le pagarás su jornal, y no se ocultará el sol sin pagárselo, pues él es pobre y tiene fijado su corazón en ello, no sea que él clame a Yavé contra ti y sea pecado para ti.
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.
Los padres no morirán por los hijos, ni los hijos por los padres. Cada uno morirá por su 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 torcerás el derecho del extranjero o del huérfano, ni tomarás 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 que tú fuiste esclavo en Egipto, y que de allí te rescató Yavé tu ʼElohim. Por tanto, yo te ordeno 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 recojas tu cosecha en tu campo y olvides en el campo un manojo, no regresarás a recogerlo. Será para el extranjero, el huérfano y la viuda, a fin de que Yavé tu ʼElohim te bendiga en toda la obra 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.
Cuando sacudas tu olivo con vara, no volverás a su rama. Será para el extranjero, el huérfano y 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 coseches tu viña no rebuscarás detrás de ti. Será para el extranjero, el huérfano y 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 esclavo en tierra de Egipto. Por tanto, yo te ordeno que hagas esto.
