Deuteronomio 24
1 Si un hombre se casa con una mujer, pero no está contento con ella porque descubre algo vergonzoso sobre ella, se le permite escribir un certificado de divorcio para ella, dárselo, y expulsarla de su casa.
If a man takes a wife, and after they are married she is unpleasing to him because of some bad quality in her, let him give her a statement in writing and send her away from his house.
2 Supongamos que después de salir de su casa, se casa con otro hombre,
And when she has gone away from him, she may become another man's wife.
3 y supongamos que el segundo hombre también termina odiándola, le escribe un certificado de divorcio, se lo da, y la envía fuera de su casa, o puede que él muera.
And if the second husband has no love for her and, giving her a statement in writing, sends her away; or if death comes to the second husband to whom she was married;
4 El primer marido que se divorció de ella no puede volver a casarse con ella después de que se avergonzara, porque eso ofende al Señor. No traerás la culpa a la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da para que la poseas.
Her first husband, who had sent her away, may not take her back after she has been wife to another; for that is disgusting to the Lord: and you are not to be a cause of sin in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.
5 Si un hombre acaba de casarse, no debe ser enviado a la guerra ni obligado a cumplir ningún otro deber. Es libre de quedarse en casa durante un año y hacer feliz a su esposa.
A newly married man will not have to go out with the army or undertake any business, but may be free for one year, living in his house for the comfort of his wife.
6 No aceptes un par de piedras de molino, o incluso sólo una piedra de molino superior, como garantía de una deuda, porque eso pondría la vida del prestatario en peligro.
No one is to take, on account of a debt, the stones with which grain is crushed: for in doing so he takes a man's living.
7 Cualquiera que sea sorprendido secuestrando a un compañero israelita debe ser ejecutado, ya sea que el secuestrador lo haga esclavo o lo venda. Deben eliminar el mal de entre ustedes.
If a man takes by force one of his countrymen, the children of Israel, using him as his property or getting a price for him, that thief is to be put to death: so you are to put away evil from among you.
8 Cuando se trata de enfermedades infecciosas de la piel, asegúrense de seguir cuidadosamente todas las instrucciones de los sacerdotes levitas. Tengan cuidado de seguir las órdenes que les he dado.
In connection with the leper's disease, take care to keep and do every detail of the teaching of the priests, the Levites: as I gave them orders, so you are to do.
9 Recuerda lo que el Señor tu Dios le hizo a Miriam en el viaje al salir de Egipto.
Keep in mind what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way, when you came out of Egypt.
10 Si le prestas algo a alguien, no entres en su casa para tomar algún tipo de seguridad.
If you let your brother have the use of anything which is yours, do not go into his house and take anything of his as a sign of his debt;
11 Permanece afuera mientras ellos entran y te traen la seguridad.
But keep outside till he comes out and gives it to you.
12 Si es un hombre pobre, puede dar su capa como promesa de pago, pero no debes guardarla al irte a dormir.
If he is a poor man, do not keep his property all night;
13 Asegúrate de devolverlo antes de la puesta de sol, para que pueda dormir con su propia capa y gracias, y serás considerado como haciendo el bien por el Señor tu Dios.
But be certain to give it back to him when the sun goes down, so that he may have his clothing for sleeping in, and will give you his blessing: and this will be put to your account as righteousness before the Lord your God.
14 No maltrates a un sirviente asalariado, pobre y necesitado, sea israelita o extranjero que viva en uno de tus pueblos.
Do not be hard on a servant who is poor and in need, if he is one of your countrymen or a man from another nation living with you in your land.
15 Paga su salario todos los días antes de la puesta del sol, porque es pobre y depende de ellos. Si no lo hace, puede quejarse al Señor de ti, y serás encontrado culpable de pecado.
Give him his payment day by day, not keeping it back over night; for he is poor and his living is dependent on it; and if his cry against you comes to the ears of the Lord, it will be judged as sin in you.
16 Los padres no deben ser ejecutados por sus hijos, y los hijos no deben ser ejecutados por sus padres. Cada persona debe ser ejecutada por su propio pecado.
Fathers are not to be put to death for their children or children for their fathers: every man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.
17 No trates injustamente a los extranjeros o a los huérfanos; no tomes el manto de viuda como garantía de pago.
Be upright in judging the cause of the man from a strange country and of him who has no father; do not take a widow's clothing on account of a debt:
18 Recuerden que una vez fueron esclavos en Egipto, y el Señor su Dios los rescató de ese lugar. Por eso te ordeno que hagas esto.
But keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: for this is why I give you orders to do this.
19 Si cuando estás cosechando en tu campo te olvidas de una gavilla allí, no vuelvas por ella. Déjala para los extranjeros, los huérfanos y las viudas, para que el Señor tu Dios te bendiga en todo lo que hagas.
When you get in the grain from your field, if some of the grain has been dropped by chance in the field, do not go back and get it, but let it be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on all the work of your hands.
20 Cuando sacudas los olivos para derribar las aceitunas, no vuelvas a pasar por encima de las ramas. Lo que queda es para los extranjeros, los huérfanos y las viudas.
When you are shaking the fruit from your olive-trees, do not go over the branches a second time: let some be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow.
21 Cuando coseches las uvas en tu viñedo, no vuelvas a repasar las vides. Lo que queda es para los extranjeros, los huérfanos y las viudas.
When you are pulling the grapes from your vines, do not take up those which have been dropped; let them be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow.
22 Recuerden que una vez fueron esclavos en Egipto. Por eso les ordeno que hagan esto.
Keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: for this is why I give you orders to do this.
