Deuteronomio 24
1 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.
And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.
2 Y salida de su casa, podrá casarse con otro marido.
And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;
3 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;
and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;
4 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.
the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord your God, and you shall not defile the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
5 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.
And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 No se tome en prenda el molino, ni la muela superior; pues sería tomar en prenda la vida.
You shall not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
7 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.
And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shall you remove that evil one from yourselves.
8 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.
Take heed to yourself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: you shall take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
9 Acuérdate de lo que Yahvé, tu Dios, hizo a María en el camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto.
Remember all that the Lord your God did to Mariam in the way, when you were going out of Egypt.
10 Si prestas a tu prójimo alguna cosa, no entrarás en su casa para tomarte su prenda.
If your neighbour owe you a debt, any debt whatever, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge:
11 Te quedarás afuera, y el hombre a quien has prestado te sacará fuera la prenda.
you shall stand without, and the man who is in your debt shall bring the pledge out to you.
12 Y si el hombre es pobre, no te acostarás sobre su prenda;
And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
13 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.
You shall surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless you; and it shall be mercy to you before the Lord your God.
14 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.
You shall not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of your brethren, or of the strangers who are in your cities.
15 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.
You shall pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and it shall be sin in you.
16 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.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 No tuerzas el derecho del extranjero ni del huérfano; ni tomes en prenda la ropa de la viuda.
You shall not wrest the judgement of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; you shall not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
18 Acuérdate de que fuiste siervo en Egipto, y que Yahvé, tu Dios, te rescató de allí; por eso te mando que hagas esto.
And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from thence; therefore I charge you to do this thing.
19 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.
And when you shall have reaped corn in your field, and shall have forgotten a sheaf in your field, you shall not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
20 Al varear tus olivos, no revises después las ramas. (El resto) será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
And if you should gather your olives, you shall not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
21 Cuando vendimies tu viña, no hagas rebusco detrás de ti. Será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
And when soever you shall gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean what you have left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:
22 Recuerda que fuiste siervo en el país de Egipto; por eso te mando que hagas esto.
and you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
