1 No ofrezcas al Señor tu Dios ningún buey u oveja que tenga algún defecto o daño, porque eso es algo que el Señor tu Dios detesta.
1 You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox or a sheep in which is a defect or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
2 Si se encuentra entre ustedes, en alguna de las ciudades que el Señor su Dios les da, un hombre o una mujer que hace lo malo ante los ojos del Señor su Dios y rompe su pacto,
2 If there is found among you, within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in Yahweh your God’s sight in transgressing his covenant,
3 sirviendo y adorando a otros dioses, al sol, a la luna o a cualquiera de las estrellas del cielo, en contra de mis órdenes,
3 and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded,
4 y ustedes reciben noticias de esto, investiguen el asunto con cuidado. Si se confirma que es verdad y que se ha hecho este mal en Israel,
4 and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
5 lleven al hombre o a la mujer que hizo este mal al lugar público de la ciudad y apedréenlo hasta que muera.
5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
6 Una persona solo podrá ser condenada a muerte por la declaración de dos o tres testigos. Nadie será condenado a muerte por la declaración de un solo testigo.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
7 Las manos de los testigos serán las primeras en darle muerte, y después las manos de todo el pueblo. Así quitarán el mal de en medio de ustedes.
7 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 remove the evil from among you.
8 Si en alguna de sus ciudades tienen un caso demasiado difícil para decidir, sea sobre una muerte, una disputa o una pelea, vayan al lugar que el Señor su Dios escoja.
8 If there arises 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 you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh your God chooses.
9 Preséntense ante los sacerdotes levitas o ante el juez que esté en funciones en ese tiempo. Ellos investigarán el caso y les darán una decisión.
9 You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall inquire, and they shall give you the verdict.
10 Ustedes deben aceptar la decisión que les den en el lugar que el Señor escoja y hacer todo lo que les indiquen.
10 You shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which Yahweh chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you.
11 Actúen de acuerdo con la enseñanza y la decisión que les den. No se aparten de su decisión ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda.
11 According to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn away from the sentence which they announce to you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
12 El hombre que, por orgullo, se niegue a escuchar al sacerdote que sirve allí delante del Señor su Dios o al juez, debe morir. Así quitarán el mal de Israel.
12 The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.
13 Todo el pueblo lo oirá y tendrá miedo, y no volverá a actuar con semejante orgullo.
13 All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14 Cuando entren en la tierra que el Señor su Dios les está dando, la reciban como herencia y vivan en ella, tal vez digan: «Queremos poner un rey sobre nosotros, como las demás naciones que nos rodean».
14 When you have come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”
15 En ese caso, deberán poner como rey al hombre que el Señor su Dios escoja. El rey debe ser uno de su propio pueblo. No pongan sobre ustedes a un extranjero que no sea de su pueblo.
15 you shall surely set him whom Yahweh your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
16 El rey no debe acumular muchos caballos ni hacer que el pueblo regrese a Egipto para conseguir más caballos, porque el Señor les ha dicho: «Nunca vuelvan por ese camino».
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”
17 Tampoco debe tener muchas esposas, para que su corazón no se aparte del Señor, ni acumular grandes cantidades de plata y oro.
17 He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 Cuando ocupe el trono de su reino, hará en un libro una copia de esta ley, usando la que está al cuidado de los sacerdotes levitas.
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.
19 Tendrá esa copia consigo y la leerá todos los días de su vida. Así aprenderá a temer al Señor su Dios y a guardar y cumplir todas las palabras de esta enseñanza y estas leyes.
19 It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
20 Así no se creerá superior a sus hermanos ni se apartará de los mandamientos a la derecha o a la izquierda. Entonces él y sus hijos podrán gobernar durante muchos años en Israel.
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away 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.
