1 Si ves que el buey o la oveja de tu hermano anda perdido, no pases de largo. Llévalo de regreso a tu hermano.
1 You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again to your brother.
2 Si tu hermano no vive cerca o no sabes quién es el dueño, lleva el animal a tu casa y guárdalo hasta que su dueño venga a buscarlo. Entonces devuélveselo.
2 If your brother isn’t near to you, or if you don’t know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother comes looking for it, and you shall restore it to him.
3 Haz lo mismo con su asno, su ropa o cualquier otra cosa que tu hermano haya perdido y tú encuentres. No pases de largo.
3 So you shall do with his donkey. So you shall do with his garment. So you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found. You may not hide yourself.
4 Si ves que el buey o el asno de tu hermano ha caído en el camino, no pases de largo. Ayúdalo a levantarlo.
4 You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them up again.
5 No es correcto que una mujer use ropa de hombre ni que un hombre se ponga ropa de mujer. Quien hace estas cosas es repugnante para el Señor tu Dios.
5 A woman shall not wear men’s clothing, neither shall a man put on women’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
6 Si encuentras un nido de ave en un árbol o en el suelo, con crías o huevos, y la madre está sobre las crías o los huevos, no tomes a la madre junto con las crías.
6 If you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young.
7 Deja ir a la madre, pero puedes tomar las crías. Así te irá bien y tendrás una larga vida.
7 You shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
8 Cuando construyas una casa, haz una barandilla alrededor del techo, para que tu casa no sea responsable de la muerte de alguien que caiga de allí.
8 When you build a new house, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.
9 No siembres en tu viña dos clases de semilla, porque podrías perder tanto la semilla que sembraste como el producto de la viña.
9 You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
10 No ares con un buey y un asno unidos al mismo yugo.
10 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
11 No uses ropa hecha de lana y lino mezclados.
11 You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12 Pon flecos en las cuatro esquinas de la ropa con que te cubres.
12 You shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.
13 Si un hombre toma esposa, tiene relaciones con ella y después ya no la quiere,
13 If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, hates her,
14 y dice cosas malas sobre ella y le da mala fama diciendo: «Tomé a esta mujer como esposa, pero cuando tuve relaciones con ella descubrí que no era virgen»,
14 accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;”
15 entonces el padre y la madre de la joven llevarán ante los hombres responsables de la ciudad, al lugar público, las pruebas de que ella era virgen.
15 then the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
16 El padre de la joven dirá a los hombres responsables: «Di mi hija a este hombre como esposa, pero ahora él no la quiere.
16 The young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates her.
17 Ha dicho cosas que la avergüenzan, afirmando que mi hija no era virgen. Pero aquí está la prueba de que sí lo era». Entonces extenderán la ropa delante de los hombres responsables de la ciudad.
17 Behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 Los hombres responsables de la ciudad tomarán al hombre y lo castigarán.
18 The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.
19 Le cobrarán una multa de cien siclos de plata y se los darán al padre de la joven, porque el hombre dio mala fama a una virgen de Israel. Ella seguirá siendo su esposa y él nunca podrá divorciarse de ella.
19 They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
20 Pero si lo que el hombre dijo es verdad y no se encuentran pruebas de que la joven era virgen,
20 But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady,
21 llevarán a la joven a la puerta de la casa de su padre y los hombres de la ciudad la apedrearán hasta que muera, porque ha hecho el mal y ha avergonzado a Israel al llevar una vida sexual inmoral en la casa de su padre. Así quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
21 then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
22 Si encuentran a un hombre teniendo relaciones con la esposa de otro hombre, los dos deben morir, tanto el hombre como la mujer. Así quitarás el mal de Israel.
22 If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.
23 Si una joven virgen está comprometida para casarse y otro hombre la encuentra en la ciudad y tiene relaciones con ella,
23 If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,
24 llevarán a los dos a la puerta de la ciudad y los apedrearán hasta que mueran: a la joven, porque estando en la ciudad no gritó pidiendo ayuda, y al hombre, porque avergonzó a la esposa de su prójimo. Así quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
25 Pero si el hombre encuentra en el campo a una joven comprometida y la toma por la fuerza, solamente el hombre debe morir.
25 But if the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die;
26 No hagan nada a la joven, porque ella no ha cometido un pecado que merezca la muerte. Este caso es como el de un hombre que ataca a su prójimo y lo mata.
26 but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter;
27 El hombre la encontró en el campo, y aunque la joven gritara pidiendo ayuda, no había nadie para salvarla.
27 for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.
28 Si un hombre encuentra a una joven virgen que no está comprometida para casarse, la toma por la fuerza y tiene relaciones con ella, y el hecho llega a conocerse,
28 If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found,
29 el hombre dará al padre de la joven cincuenta siclos de plata y ella será su esposa, porque la ha deshonrado. Nunca podrá divorciarse de ella.
29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
30 Un hombre no debe tomar a la esposa de su padre ni tener relaciones sexuales con una mujer que pertenece a su padre.
30 A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Hear what precept Christ gave to the Jews, creeping as they did upon the earth: "If thou see," saith He, "thine enemy's beast of burden falling down, do not hasten by, but raise it." And thou must see that to separate and reconcile men that are fighting is a much lighter thing than to lift up the fallen beast.

If, therefore, the Scripture elsewhere says, The betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her, doth it not speak of a virgin?

… Old Testament respecting care for brutes, in its principal meaning bears on the instruction of human beings: as in fact do all the rest: the precepts, for example, concerning various garments; and those concerning vineyards and seeds and not making the ground bear divers crops, and those concerning leprosy; and, in a word, all the rest: for they being of …
