Deuteronomio 24
1 Cuando un hombre toma una esposa y se casa con ella, si ella no encuentra favor a sus ojos porque ha encontrado alguna cosa indecorosa en ella, le escribirá un certificado de divorcio, se lo pondrá en la mano y la enviará fuera de su casa.
When a man takes a wife and marries her, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unsuitable thing in her, then he must write her a certificate of divorce, put it into her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 Cuando haya salido de su casa, podrá ir y ser la esposa de otro hombre.
When she has gone out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
3 Si este último marido la odia y le escribe un certificado de divorcio, se lo pone en la mano y la envía fuera de su casa; o si muere el último marido que la tomó por esposa;
If the second husband hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it into her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the second husband dies, the man who took her to be his wife—
4 su antiguo marido, que la envió, no podrá volver a tomarla por esposa después de que se haya contaminado, porque eso sería una abominación para Yahvé. No harás pecar a la tierra que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da en herencia.
then her former husband, the one who had first sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has become impure; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You must not cause the land to become guilty, the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
5 Cuando un hombre tome una nueva esposa, no saldrá en el ejército, ni se le asignará ningún negocio. Estará libre en su casa durante un año, y alegrará a la mujer que ha tomado.
When a man takes a new wife, he will not go to war with the army, neither may he be commanded to go on any forced duty; he will be free to be at home for one year and will cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 Ningún hombre tomará como prenda el molino o la muela superior, pues toma una vida en prenda.
No man may take a mill or an upper millstone as a pledge, for that would be taking a person's life as a pledge.
7 Si un hombre es encontrado robando a alguno de sus hermanos de los hijos de Israel, y lo trata como esclavo o lo vende, ese ladrón morirá. Así eliminaréis el mal de entre vosotros.
If a man is found kidnapping any of his brothers from among the people of Israel, and treats him as a slave and sells him, that thief must die; and you will remove the evil from among you.
8 Tened cuidado con la plaga de la lepra, que observéis con diligencia y hagáis conforme a todo lo que os enseñan los sacerdotes levitas. Como yo les ordené, así observarás hacer.
Take heed regarding any plague of leprosy, so that you carefully observe and follow every instruction given to you which the priests, the Levites, teach you; as I commanded them, so you will act.
9 Acuérdate de lo que el Señor, tu Dios, hizo a Miriam, en el camino cuando saliste de Egipto.
Call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Miriam as you were coming out of Egypt.
10 Cuando prestes a tu prójimo cualquier clase de préstamo, no entrarás en su casa para recibir su prenda.
When you make your neighbor any kind of loan, you must not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 Te quedarás fuera, y el hombre al que le prestes te traerá la prenda fuera.
You will stand outside, and the man to whom you have lent will bring the pledge outside to you.
12 Si es un hombre pobre, no dormirás con su prenda.
If he is a poor man, you must not sleep with his pledge in your possession.
13 Le devolverás la prenda cuando se ponga el sol, para que duerma con su ropa y te bendiga. Será para ti justicia ante el Señor, tu Dios.
You must surely restore to him the pledge by the time the sun goes down, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; it will be righteousness for you before Yahweh your God.
14 No oprimirás al jornalero pobre y necesitado, ya sea uno de tus hermanos o uno de los extranjeros que están en tu tierra dentro de tus puertas.
You must not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your fellow Israelites, or of the foreigners who are in your land within your city gates;
15 En su día le darás su salario, ni se pondrá el sol sobre él, porque es pobre y pone su corazón en ello, no sea que clame contra ti a Yahvé, y te sea pecado.
Each day you must give him his wage; the sun must not go down on this unsettled matter, for he is poor and is counting on it. Do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and so that it not be a sin that you have committed.
16 Los padres no morirán por los hijos, ni los hijos morirán por los padres. Cada uno morirá por su propio pecado.
The parents must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, everyone must be put to death for his own sin.
17 No privarás al extranjero ni al huérfano de la justicia, ni tomarás en prenda la ropa de una viuda;
You must not use force to take away the justice that is due the foreigner or the fatherless, nor take the widow's cloak as a pledge.
18 sino que te acordarás de que fuiste esclavo en Egipto, y que el Señor, tu Dios, te redimió allí. Por eso te mando que hagas esto.
Instead, you must call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt, and that Yahweh your God rescued you from there. Therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
19 Cuando recojas tu cosecha en tu campo, y hayas olvidado una gavilla en el campo, no volverás a ir a buscarla. Será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda, para que el Señor, tu Dios, te bendiga en todo el trabajo de tus manos.
When you reap your harvest in your field, and if you have forgotten an omer of grain in the field, you must not go back to get it; it must be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 Cuando golpees tu olivo, no volverás a pasar por las ramas. Será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
When you shake your olive tree, you must not go over the branches again; it will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow.
21 Cuando cosechéis vuestra viña, no la espigaréis en pos de vosotros mismos. Será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda.
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not glean it again. What is left over will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Recordarás que fuiste esclavo en la tierra de Egipto. Por eso te ordeno que hagas esto.
You must call to mind that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
