Deuteronomio 17
1 No sacrificarás a Jehová tu Dios buey, o cordero en el cual haya falta, o alguna cosa mala, que es abominación a Jehová tu Dios.
You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any bad reputation: for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
2 Cuando se hallare entre ti, en alguna de tus ciudades, que Jehová tu Dios te da, hombre, o mujer, que haya hecho mal en ojos de Jehová tu Dios traspasando su concierto;
If there be found among you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, man or woman, that has worked wickedness in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing his covenant,
3 Que hubiere ido, y servido a dioses ajenos, y se hubiere inclinado a ellos, o al sol, o a la luna, o a todo el ejército del cielo, lo cual yo no mandé;
And has gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
4 Y te fuere dado aviso, y oyeres, y hubieres buscado bien, y la cosa ha parecido de verdad cierta, que tal abominación ha sido hecha en Israel;
And it be told you, and you have heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is worked in Israel:
5 Entonces sacarás al hombre o mujer, que hubiere hecho esta mala cosa, a tus puertas, hombre o mujer, y apedrearlos has con piedras, y morirán.
Then shall you bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, to your gates, even that man or that woman, and shall stone them with stones, till they die.
6 Por dicho de dos testigos, o de tres testigos, morirá el que hubiere de morir: no morirá por el dicho de un solo testigo.
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
7 La mano de los testigos será primero sobre él, para matarle, y la mano de todo el pueblo después: y quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall put the evil away from among you.
8 Cuando alguna cosa te fuere oculta en juicio entre sangre y sangre, entre causa y causa, y entre llaga y llaga en negocios de rencillas en tus ciudades, entonces levantarte has, y subirás al lugar que Jehová tu Dios escogiere:
If there arise a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates: then shall you arise, and get you up into the place which the LORD your God shall choose;
9 Y vendrás a los sacerdotes Levitas, y al juez que fuere en aquellos días; y preguntarás, y enseñarte han la palabra del juicio.
And you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment:
10 Y harás según la palabra que ellos te enseñaren del lugar que Jehová escogiere, y guardarás que hagas según todo lo que te enseñaren.
And you shall do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show you; and you shall observe to do according to all that they inform you:
11 Según la ley, que ellos te enseñaren, y según el juicio que te dijeren, harás: de la palabra que te enseñaren, no te apartarás ni a diestra ni a siniestra.
According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do: you shall not decline from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
12 Y el hombre que hiciere con soberbia no obedeciendo al sacerdote que está para ministrar allí, delante de Jehová tu Dios, o al juez, el tal varón morirá: y quitarás el mal de Israel.
And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not listen to the priest that stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
13 Y todo el pueblo oirá, y temerá, y no se ensoberbecerán más.
And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14 Cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da y la heredares, y habitares en ella, y dijeres: Pondré rey sobre mí, como todas las gentes que están en mis al derredores;
When you are come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
15 Poniendo pondrás por rey sobre ti al que Jehová tu Dios escogiere: de entre tus hermanos pondrás rey sobre ti: no podrás poner sobre ti hombre extranjero, que no sea tu hermano.
You shall in any wise set him king over you, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brothers shall you set king over you: you may not set a stranger over you, which is not your brother.
16 Solamente que no se aumente caballos, ni haga volver el pueblo a Egipto para aumentar caballos: porque Jehová os ha dicho: No procuraréis de volver más por este camino.
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: for as much as the LORD has said to you, You shall from now on return no more that way.
17 Ni aumentará para sí mujeres, porque su corazón no se aparte: ni plata ni oro se multiplicará mucho.
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 Y será que cuando se asentare sobre la silla de su reino, escribirá para sí un traslado de esta ley en un libro, tomándolo de delante de los sacerdotes Levitas;
And it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
19 El cual tendrá consigo, y leerá en él todos los días de su vida, para que aprenda a temer a Jehová su Dios, para guardar todas las palabras de aquesta ley, y estos estatutos para hacerlos;
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20 Para que no se eleve su corazón sobre sus hermanos, ni se aparte del mandamiento a diestra ni a siniestra, porque alargue días en su reino él, y sus hijos en medio de Israel.
That his heart be not lifted up above his brothers, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the middle of Israel.
