Deuteronomio 24
1Si 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. “If a man takes a wife, and he has her, and she does not find favor before his eyes because of some vileness, then he shall write a bill of divorce, and he shall give it to her hand, and he shall dismiss her from his house.2Y salida de su casa, podrá casarse con otro marido. And when, having departed, she has married another,3Si 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 if he likewise hates her, and has given her a bill of divorce, and has dismissed her from his house, or if indeed he has died,4entonces 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. then the former husband cannot take her back as a wife. For she has been polluted and has become abominable in the sight of the Lord. Otherwise, you may cause your land, which the Lord your God will deliver to you as a possession, to sin.5Un 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. When a man has recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, nor shall any public office be enjoined upon him. Instead, he shall be free at home without guilt, so that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.6No se tome en prenda el molino, ni la muela superior; pues sería tomar en prenda la vida. You shall not accept an upper or lower millstone as collateral. For then he will have placed his life with you.7Cuando 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. If a man has been caught soliciting his brother among the sons of Israel, and selling him in order to receive a price, then he shall be put to death. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.8En 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. Observe diligently, lest you incur the wound of leprosy. But you shall do whatever the priests of the Levitical stock shall teach you to do, according to what I have instructed them. And you shall fulfill it carefully.9Acuérdate de lo que Yahvé, tu Dios, hizo a María en el camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto. Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam, along the way, as you were departing from Egypt.10Si prestas a tu prójimo alguna cosa, no entrarás en su casa para tomarte su prenda. When you require from your neighbor anything that he owes to you, you shall not enter into his house in order to take away the collateral.11Te quedarás afuera, y el hombre a quien has prestado te sacará fuera la prenda. Instead, you shall stand outside, and he will carry out to you what he has.12Y si el hombre es pobre, no te acostarás sobre su prenda; But if he is poor, then the collateral shall not remain with you through the night.13sino 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. Instead, you shall return it to him promptly, before the setting of the sun, so that, sleeping in his own garment, he may bless you, and you may have justice in the presence of the Lord your God.14No 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 refuse the pay of the indigent and the poor, whether he is your brother, or he is a new arrival who dwells with you in the land and is within your gates.15El 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. Instead, you shall pay him the price of his labor on the same day, before the setting of the sun. For he is poor, and with it he sustains his life. Otherwise, he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it would be charged to you as a sin.16No 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 on behalf of the sons, nor the sons on behalf of the fathers, but each one shall die for his own sin.17No tuerzas el derecho del extranjero ni del huérfano; ni tomes en prenda la ropa de la viuda. You shall not pervert the judgment of the new arrival or the orphan, nor shall you take away the widow’s garment as collateral.18Acuérdate de que fuiste siervo en Egipto, y que Yahvé, tu Dios, te rescató de allí; por eso te mando que hagas esto. Remember that you served in Egypt, and that the Lord your God rescued you from there. Therefore, I am instructing you to act in this way.19Cuando 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. When you have reaped the grain in your field, and, having forgotten, you leave behind a sheaf, you shall not return to take it away. Instead, you shall permit the new arrival, and the orphan, and the widow to take it away, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.20Al varear tus olivos, no revises después las ramas. (El resto) será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda. If you have gathered the fruit of your olive trees, you shall not return in order to gather whatever may remain on the trees. Instead, you shall leave it behind for the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow.21Cuando vendimies tu viña, no hagas rebusco detrás de ti. Será para el extranjero, para el huérfano y para la viuda. If you harvest the vintage of your vineyard, you shall not gather the remaining clusters. Instead, they shall fall to the use of the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.22Recuerda que fuiste siervo en el país de Egipto; por eso te mando que hagas esto. Remember that you also served in Egypt, and so, for this reason, I am instructing you to act in this way.”
