Deuteronomio 22
1 Si ves que el buey o la oveja de tu hermano deambulan, no te vayas sin ayudar, llévalos a tu hermano.
“If you see some Israeli’s ox or sheep that has strayed away, do not act as though you did not see it. Take it back [to its owner].
2 Si su dueño no está cerca, o si no estás seguro de quién es, llevala bestia a tu casa y guárdela hasta que su dueño la busque, y luego debes devolvérsela.
But if the owner does not live near you, or if you do not know who the owner is, take the animal to your house. [It can stay with you] until the owner comes, searching for it. Then you must give the animal to him.
3 Haz lo mismo con su asno o su túnica o cualquier cosa que haya perdido tu hermano y con la que te hayas encontrado. No lo ignores.
You must do the same thing if you see a donkey, or a piece of clothing, or anything else that someone has lost. Do not refuse to do what you should do.
4 Si ves que el buey o el asno de tu hermano caen en el camino, no pases sin darle ayuda para levantarlo.
“And if you see a fellow Israeli’s donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, do not act as though you did not see it. Help the owner to lift the animal up [so that it can stand on its feet again].
5 No es correcto que una mujer se vista con ropa de hombre, o que un hombre se ponga una túnica de mujer; quien hace tales cosas es repugnante para el Señor tu Dios.
“Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Yahweh our God hates people who do things like that.
6 Si por casualidad ves un lugar que un ave se ha forjado en un árbol o en la tierra, con crías o huevos, y la ave madre sentada sobre los polluelos o sobre los huevos, no tomes la madre ave con los polluelos.
“If you happen to find a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting in the nest on its eggs or with the baby birds, do not take the mother bird [and kill it].
7 Fíjate de dejar ir a la madre pájaro, pero a los polluelos puedes tomar; Así te irá bien y tendrás una larga vida.
You are permitted to take the baby birds, but you must allow the mother bird to fly away. Do this in order that things will go well for you and that you will live for a long time.
8 Si estás construyendo una casa, haz una barandilla para el techo, de modo que no se culpe a la familia de muerte si alguien cae de la azotea.
“If you build a new house, you must put a (railing/low wall) around the edge of the roof. If you do that, and if someone falls off the roof [and dies], (you will not be guilty of causing that person to die/his death [MTY] will not be your fault).
9 No haga que su jardín de viñas tenga dos tipos de semillas: o todo puede convertirse en una pérdida, la semilla que sembraron, así como el viñedo.
“Do not plant any crop in the area where your grapevines are growing. If you do, you are not allowed to harvest the crops that you have planted or to harvest the grapes [to make wine from them].
10 No hagas el arado con un buey y un asno juntos.
“Do not hitch together an ox and a donkey [for plowing your fields].
11 No lleve ropa hecha de dos tipos de hilo, lana y lino juntos.
“Do not wear clothing that is made by weaving together (wool and linen/two different kinds of thread).
12 En los cuatro bordes de tu túnica, con los que está cubierto tu cuerpo, coloca adornos de hilos retorcidos.
“[Twist threads together to] make tassels and sew/fasten them on the four bottom corners of your cloak.
13 Si un hombre toma esposa y ha tenido relaciones sexuales con ella, y después la aborrece.
“Suppose a man marries a young woman and has sex with her and later decides that he does not want her any more,
14 Y dice cosas malas sobre ella y le da mala fama, diciendo: Tomé a esta mujer, y cuando tuve contacto con ella me quedó claro que no era virgen.
and he says false things about her, and claims that she was not a virgin when he married her.
15 Luego, que el padre y la madre de la niña pongan delante de los hombres responsables del pueblo, en el lugar público, señales de que la niña era virgen:
If that happens, the young woman’s parents must take the sheet that was on the bed when that man and their daughter were married, which still has bloodstains on it, and show it to the elders of the city at the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city.
16 Y que el padre de la niña diga a los hombres responsables, le di mi hija a este hombre por su esposa, pero él no la ama;
Then the father of the young woman must say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But now he says that he doesn’t want her any more.
17 Ahora él la ha avergonzado, diciendo que no es virgen; Pero aquí está la señal de que ella es virgen. Luego deben poner su ropa delante de los hombres responsables del pueblo.
And he has falsely said that she was not a virgin when he married her. But look! Here is what proves that my daughter was a virgin! Look at the bloodstains on the sheet where they slept the night that they were married!’ And he will show the sheet to the elders.
18 Entonces los hombres responsables del pueblo deben darle al hombre su castigo;
Then the elders of that city must take that man and whip him.
19 Lo multarán cien siclos de plata, que le serán entregados al padre de la niña, porque le ha dado un mal nombre a una virgen de Israel: ella seguirá siendo su esposa. Mientras viva él, no podrá divorciarse de ella.
They shall require that he pay a fine of 100 pieces of silver and give the money to the father of the young woman, because the man caused an Israeli young woman to be disgraced. Also, that woman must continue to live with him; she is his wife. He is not allowed to divorce her during the rest of his life.
20 Pero si lo que él ha dicho es cierto, y se ve que ella no es virgen,
“But if what the man said is true, and there is nothing to prove that she was a virgin when he married her,
21 Luego deben hacer que la niña venga a la puerta de la casa de su padre y los hombres del pueblo la apedrearán hasta morir, porque ha hecho el mal y ha avergonzado a Israel, prostituyéndose en la casa de su padre, así que debes quitar el mal de en medio de ti.
they must take that young woman to the door of her father’s house. Then the men of that city must execute her by throwing stones at her. They must do that because she has done something in Israel that is very disgraceful, by having sex with some man [while she was still living] in her father’s house. By executing her like that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
22 Si un hombre es tomado en el acto de ir a una mujer casada, los dos, el hombre y la mujer, deben ser condenados a muerte, por lo tanto, debe deshacerse del mal que haya en medio de Israel.
“If a man is caught while he is having sex with another man’s wife, both of them must be executed. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice in Israel.
23 Si una joven virgen ha dado su palabra para casarse con un hombre, y otro hombre que se encuentra con ella en el pueblo, se acuesta con ella;
“Suppose in some town a man sees a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married to another man, and he is caught having sex with [EUP] her.
24 Luego debes llevarlos a la puerta de la ciudad y llevarlos ante el tribunal; la joven virgen, porque ella no gritó pidiendo ayuda, aunque estaba en la ciudad, y el hombre, porque ha avergonzado a la esposa de su vecino: así que debes quitar el mal de en medio de ti.
You must take both of them to the (gate of/central meeting place in) that town. There you must execute them both by throwing stones at them. You must execute the young woman because she did not shout for help even though she was in the town. And the man must be executed because he had sex [EUP] with someone who was already engaged/promised to be married. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
25 Pero si el hombre, encontrándose con una virgen así en el campo, la toma por la fuerza, entonces solo el hombre debe ser condenado a muerte;
“But suppose out in the open countryside a man meets a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married, and he rapes her. If that happens, only that man must be executed.
26 No se debe hacer nada a la virgen, porque no hay causa de muerte en ella: es lo mismo que si un hombre atacara a su prójimo y lo matara:
You must not punish the young woman, because she did not do anything for which she deserves to be executed. This case is like when one man attacks another man [in the countryside] and murders him,
27 Porque él la encontró en el campo abierto, y no había nadie para ayudar a la virgen en respuesta a su clamor.
because the man who raped her saw her when she was in the open countryside, and even though she called out for help, there was no one there who could rescue her.
28 Si un hombre ve a una joven virgen que no ha dado su palabra de casarse con nadie, y la toma por la fuerza y se acuesta con ella, y son descubiertos;
“If a man rapes a young woman who is not engaged/promised to be married, if someone sees him while he is doing that,
29 Entonces el hombre tendrá que dar al padre de la virgen cincuenta siclos de plata y convertirla en su esposa, porque la ha violado; Él nunca podrá divorciarse de ella en toda su vida.
that man must pay 50 pieces of silver to the young woman’s father, and he must marry her, because he forced her to have sex with him. He is not allowed to divorce her for the rest of his life.
30 Un hombre no puede tomar a la esposa de su padre o tener relaciones sexuales con una mujer que es de su padre.
“man must not disgrace his father by having sex with any of his father’s wives.”
