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 esposa, y después de que se casen, él a encontrado algo impuro en ella, que le dé una declaración de divorcio por escrito y la enviará lejos de su casa.
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
Y cuando ella se haya alejado de él, puede convertirse en la esposa de 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.
Y si el segundo marido no la ama y, dándole una declaración de divorcio por escrito, la despide; o si la muerte le llega al segundo marido con quien se casó;
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.”
Su primer marido, que la había enviado lejos, no puede llevarla de vuelta después de que ella haya sido esposa de otro; porque eso es repugnante para el Señor, y no deben ser causa del pecado en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da para tu 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 hombre recién casado no tendrá que salir con el ejército ni emprender ningún negocio, sino que puede estar libre por un año, viviendo en su casa para la comodidad de su esposa.
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.
Nadie debe tomar, a causa de una deuda, las piedras con las que se muele el grano: porque al hacerlo, sería como pedirle en prenda su propia 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.
Si un hombre secuestra a uno de sus compatriotas, a los hijos de Israel, usándolo como su esclavo o vendiéndolo, ese secuestrador debe ser condenado a muerte. Para acabar así con él mal, debe deshacerse del mal de entre ustedes.
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 relación con la enfermedad de los leprosos, tengan cuidado de guardar y hacer todos los detalles de la enseñanza de los sacerdotes, los levitas: como les di las órdenes, así deben hacer.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Ten en cuenta lo que el Señor tu Dios le hizo a María en el camino, cuando saliste 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 dejas que tu hermano use algo que es tuyo, no entren en su casa y tomen nada de él como signo de su deuda;
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
Pero mantente afuera hasta que él salga y te lo dé.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Si es un hombre pobre, no guarden su propiedad toda la noche;
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.
Pero asegúrense de devolverla cuando el sol se ponga, para que pueda tener su ropa para dormir, y les dé su bendición: y esto será presentado ante ustedes como justicia ante el Señor tu Dios supremo.
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 sean duros con un sirviente pobre y necesitado, si es uno de sus compatriotas o un hombre de otra nación que vive con ustedes en su tierra.
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.
Dale su pago día a día, no guardándolo durante la noche; porque él es pobre y su vida depende de ello; y si su clamor contra ustedes llega a los oídos del Señor, será juzgado como pecado en ustedes.
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 deben ser condenados a muerte por sus hijos o hijos por sus padres: todo hombre debe ser condenado a muerte por el pecado que él mismo ha cometido.
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].
Sean honestos al juzgar la causa del hombre de un país extraño y de aquel que no tiene padre; No tomen la ropa de una viuda a causa de una deuda:
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].
Pero tengan en cuenta que eran siervos en la tierra de Egipto, y el Señor tu Dios los liberó. Por eso les doy órdenes de hacer 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 estén cosechando el grano de su campo, si parte del grano se ha caído por casualidad en el campo, no regresen a buscarlo, sino que sea para el hombre extranjero, el niño sin padre, y la viuda: para que la bendición del Señor tu Dios esté en toda la obra de sus 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 estén sacudiendo la fruta de sus olivos, no pasen por encima de las ramas por segunda vez: sea para el hombre extranjero, el niño sin padre 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 estés arrancando las uvas de tus enredaderas, no tomes las que se han caído; Que sean para el hombre extranjero, el niño sin padre 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].”
Tengan en cuenta que eran esclavos en la tierra de Egipto; por eso te mando que hagas esto.
