Exodus 23
1 You must not give a false report about anyone. Do not join with a wicked man to be a dishonest witness.
No admitirás falso rumor. No pongas tu mano con el impío para ser testigo falso.
2 You must not follow a crowd to do evil, nor may you bear witness while siding with the crowd in order to pervert justice.
No seguirás a los muchos para mal hacer, ni responderás en pleito acostándote tras los muchos para hacer tuerto.
3 You must not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
Ni al pobre honrarás en su causa.
4 If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you must bring it back to him.
Si encontrares el buey de tu enemigo, o su asno errado, volviendo se lo volverás.
5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen to the ground under its load, you must not leave that person. You must surely help him with his donkey.
Si vieres el asno del que te aborrece echado debajo de su carga, ¿dejarlo has entonces desamparado? ayudando ayudarás con él.
6 Do not thrust aside justice for your poor in his lawsuit.
No pervertirás el derecho de tu mendigo en su pleito.
7 Do not join others in making false accusations, and do not kill the innocent or righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.
De palabra de mentira te alejarás; y no matarás al inocente y justo; porque yo no justificaré al impío.
8 Never take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see, and perverts honest people's words.
No recibirás presente; porque el presente ciega a los que ven, y pervierte las palabras justas.
9 You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Ítem, al extranjero no angustiarás; pues que vosotros sabéis el alma del extranjero, que fuisteis extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto.
10 For six years you will sow seed on your land and gather in its produce.
Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y allegarás su cosecha:
11 But in the seventh year you will leave it unplowed and fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat. What they leave, the wild animals will eat. You will do the same with your vineyards and olive orchards.
Mas al séptimo la dejarás y soltarás, para que coman los pobres de tu pueblo; y lo que quedare comerán las bestias del campo: así harás de tu viña y de tu olivar.
12 During six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you must rest. Do this so that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and so that your female slave's son and any foreigner may rest and be refreshed.
Seis días harás tus negocios; y al séptimo día holgarás, porque huelgue tu buey, y tu asno; y tome refrigerio el hijo de tu sierva, y el extranjero.
13 Pay attention to everything that I have said to you. Do not mention the names of other gods, nor let their names be heard from your mouth.
Y en todo lo que os he dicho, seréis avisados. Y nombre de otros dioses no mentaréis, ni se oirá en vuestra boca.
14 You must travel to hold a festival for me three times every year.
Tres veces en el año me celebraréis fiesta.
15 You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you will eat unleavened bread for seven days. At that time, you will appear before me in the month of Aviv, which is fixed for this purpose. It was in this month that you came out from Egypt. But you must not appear before me empty-handed.
La fiesta de las cenceñas guardarás: siete días comerás los panes sin levadura, de la manera que yo te mandé, en el tiempo del mes de Abib, porque en él saliste de Egipto, y no serán vistas mis faces en vacío.
16 You must observe the Festival of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors when you sowed seed in the fields. Also you must observe the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your produce from the fields.
Ítem, la fiesta de la segada de los primeros frutos de tus trabajos que hubieres sembrado en el campo. Y la fiesta de la cosecha a la salida del año, cuando cogieres tus trabajos del campo.
17 All your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh three times every year.
Tres veces en el año parecerá todo varón tuyo delante del Señor Jehová.
18 You must not offer the blood from sacrifices made to me with bread containing yeast. The fat from the sacrifices at my festivals must not remain all night until the morning.
No sacrificarás sobre pan leudo la sangre de mi sacrificio, ni el sebo de mi cordero quedará de la noche hasta la mañana.
19 You must bring the choicest firstfruits from your land into my house, the house of Yahweh your God. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
Las primicias de los primeros frutos de tu tierra traerás a la casa de Jehová tu Dios. No guisarás el cabrito con la leche de su madre.
20 I am going to send an angel before you to guard you on the way, and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.
He aquí, yo envío el ángel delante de ti, para que te guarde en el camino, y te meta al lugar que yo he aparejado.
21 Be attentive to him and obey him. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgressions. My name is on him.
Guárdate delante de él, y oye su voz, no le seas rebelde, porque él no perdonará a vuestra rebelión; porque mi nombre está en medio de él.
22 If you indeed obey his voice and do everything that I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
Porque si oyendo oyeres su voz, e hicieres todo lo que yo te dijere, seré enemigo a tus enemigos, y afligiré a los que te afligieren.
23 My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and the Jebusites. I will destroy them.
Porque mi ángel irá delante de ti, y te meterá al Amorreo, y al Jetteo, y al Ferezeo, y al Cananeo, y al Heveo, y al Jebuseo, los cuales yo haré cortar.
24 You must not bow down to their gods, worship them, or do as they do. Instead, you must completely overthrow them and smash their stone pillars in pieces.
No te inclinarás a sus dioses, ni los servirás, ni harás como ellos hacen, antes los destruirás del todo, y quebrantarás del todo sus estatuas.
25 You must worship Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and water. I will remove sickness from among you.
Mas a Jehová vuestro Dios serviréis, y él bendecirá tu pan, y tus aguas, y yo quitaré enfermedad de en medio de ti.
26 No woman will be barren or will miscarry her young in your land. I will give you long lives.
No habrá amovedera ni estéril en tu tierra, y yo cumpliré el número de tus días.
27 I will send fear of myself on those into whose land you advance. I will kill all the people whom you meet. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in fright.
Yo enviaré mi terror delante de ti, y haré atónito a todo pueblo donde tú entrares; y te daré la cerviz de todos tus enemigos.
28 I will send hornets before you that will drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.
Y yo enviaré la avispa delante de ti, que eche fuera al Heveo, y al Cananeo, y al Jetteo, de delante de ti.
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, or the land would become abandoned, and the wild animals would become too many for you.
No lo echaré de delante de ti en un año, porque no se asuele la tierra, y se aumenten contra ti las bestias del campo.
30 Instead, I will drive them out little by little from before you until you become fruitful and inherit the land.
Poco a poco lo echaré de delante de ti, hasta que tú multipliques, y tomes la tierra por heredad.
31 I will fix your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will give you victory over the land's inhabitants. You will drive them out before yourselves.
Y yo pondré tu término desde el mar Bermejo hasta la mar de Palestina: y desde el desierto, hasta el río; porque yo pondré en vuestras manos los moradores de la tierra, y tú los echarás de delante de ti.
32 You must not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
No harás alianza con ellos, ni con sus dioses.
33 They must not live in your land, or they would make you sin against me. If you worship their gods, this will surely become a trap for you.'”
En tu tierra no habitarán, porque quizá no te hagan pecar contra mí, sirviendo a sus dioses: porque te será por tropezón.
