1 “You shall not immolate to the Lord your God a sheep or an ox, in which there is a blemish or any defect at all; for this is an abomination to the Lord your God.
1 NO sacrificarás á Jehová tu Dios buey, ó cordero, en el cual haya falta ó alguna cosa mala: porque es abominación á Jehová tu Dios.
2 When there will have been found among you, within one of your gates which the Lord your God will give to you, a man or a woman who is doing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and who is transgressing his covenant,
2 Cuando se hallare entre ti, en alguna de tus ciudades que Jehová tu Dios te da, hombre, ó mujer, que haya hecho mal en ojos de Jehová tu Dios traspasando su pacto,
3 so as to go and serve foreign gods and adore them, such as the sun and the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not instructed,
3 Que hubiere ido y servido á dioses ajenos, y se hubiere inclinado á ellos, ora al sol, ó á la luna, ó á todo el ejército del cielo, lo cual yo no he mandado;
4 and when this will have been reported to you, and, upon hearing it, if you have inquired diligently and have found it to be true, that the abomination is being done in Israel:
4 Y te fuere dado aviso, y, después que oyeres y hubieres indagado bien, la cosa parece de verdad cierta, que tal abominación ha sido hecha en Israel;
5 you shall lead forward the man or the woman who has perpetrated this most wicked thing to the gates of your city, and they shall be stoned to death.
5 Entonces sacarás al hombre ó mujer que hubiere hecho esta mala cosa, á tus puertas, hombre ó mujer, y los apedrearás con piedras, y así morirán.
6 By the mouth of two or three witnesses, he who is to be put to death shall perish. Let no one be killed with only one person speaking testimony against him.
6 Por dicho de dos testigos, ó de tres testigos, morirá el que hubiere de morir; no morirá por el dicho de un solo testigo.
7 First, the hands of the witnesses shall be upon him who will be put to death, and lastly, the hands of the remainder of the people shall be sent forth. So may you take away the evil from your midst.
7 La mano de los testigos será primero sobre él para matarlo, y después la mano de todo el pueblo: así quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
8 If you have perceived that there is among you a difficult and doubtful matter of judgment, between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy, and if you will have seen that the words of the judges within your gates vary: rise up and ascend to the place which the Lord your God will choose.
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 litigio en tus ciudades; entonces te levantarás y recurrirás al lugar que Jehová tu Dios escogiere;
9 And you shall approach the priests of the Levitical stock, and the judge, who shall be among them at that time, and you shall inquire of them, and they will reveal to you the truth of the judgment.
9 Y vendrás á los sacerdotes Levitas, y al juez que fuere en aquellos días, y preguntarás; y te enseñarán la sentencia del juicio.
10 And you shall accept whatever they will say, those who preside in the place which the Lord will choose, and whatever they will teach you,
10 Y harás según la sentencia que te indicaren los del lugar que Jehová escogiere, y cuidarás de hacer según todo lo que te manifestaren.
11 in accord with his law, and you shall follow their sentence. Neither shall you turn aside to the right or to the left.
11 Según la ley que ellos te enseñaren, y según el juicio que te dijeren, harás: no te apartarás ni á diestra ni á siniestra de la sentencia que te mostraren.
12 But whoever will be arrogant, unwilling to obey the order of the priest who ministers at that time to the Lord your God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die. And so shall you take away the evil from Israel.
12 Y el hombre que procediere con soberbia, no obedeciendo al sacerdote que está para ministrar allí delante de Jehová tu Dios, ó al juez, el tal varón morirá: y quitarás el mal de Israel.
13 And when the people hear about this, they shall be afraid, so that no one, from that time on, will swell with pride.
13 Y todo el pueblo oirá, y temerá, y no se ensoberbecerán más.
14 When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, and you possess it, and you live in it, and you say, ‘I will appoint a king over me, just as all the surrounding nations have done,’
14 Cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, y la poseyeres, y habitares en ella, y dijeres: Pondré rey sobre mí, como todas las gentes que están en mis alrededores;
15 you shall appoint him whom the Lord your God will choose from among the number of your brothers. You cannot make a man of another people king, one who is not your brother.
15 Sin duda 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.
16 And when he will have been appointed king, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor lead the people back into Egypt, having been exalted by the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord has instructed you never to return along the same way.
16 Empero que no se aumente caballos, ni haga volver el pueblo á Egipto para acrecentar caballos: porque Jehová os ha dicho: No procuraréis volver más por este camino.
17 He shall not have many wives, who might allure his mind, and he shall not have immense weights of silver and gold.
17 Ni aumentará para sí mujeres, porque su corazón no se desvíe: ni plata ni oro acrecentará para sí en gran copia.
18 Then, after he has been seated upon the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, using a copy from the priests of the Levitical tribe.
18 Y será, cuando se asentare sobre el solio de su reino, que ha de escribir para sí en un libro un traslado de esta ley, [del original] de delante de los sacerdotes Levitas;
19 And he shall have it with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep his words and ceremonies, which are instructed in the law.
19 Y lo tendrá consigo, y leerá en él todos los días de su vida, para que aprenda á temer á Jehová su Dios, para guardar todas las palabras de aquesta ley y estos estatutos, para ponerlos por obra:
20 And so may his heart not become exalted with arrogance over his brothers, nor turn aside to the right or to the left, so that he and his sons may reign for a long time over Israel.”
20 Para que no se eleve su corazón sobre sus hermanos, ni se aparte del mandamiento á diestra ni á siniestra: á fin que prolongue sus días en su reino, él y sus hijos, en medio de Israel.
