1 Thou shalt not sacrifice to the Lord thy God a sheep, or an ox, wherein there is blemish, or any fault: for that is an abomination to the Lord thy 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 shall be found among you within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, man or woman that do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, and transgress 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 strange gods, and adore them, the sun and the moon. and all the host of heaven, which I have not commanded:
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 this is told thee, and hearing it thou hast inquired diligently, and found it to be true, and that the abomination is committed 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 Thou shalt bring forth the man or the woman, who have committed that most wicked thing, to the gates of thy city, and they shall be stoned.
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 shall he die that is to be slain. Let no man be put to death, when only one beareth witness 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 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and afterwards the hands of the rest of the people: that thou mayst take away the evil out of the midst of thee.
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 thou perceive that there be among you a hard and doubtful matter in judgment between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy: and thou see that the words of the judges within thy gates do vary: arise, and go up to the place, which the Lord thy God shall 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 thou shalt come to the priests of the Levitical race, and to the judge, that shall be at that time: and thou shalt ask of them, and they shall shew thee 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 thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say, that preside in the place, which the Lord shall choose, and what they shall teach thee,
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 According to his law; and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand nor to the left hand.
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 he that will be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest, who ministereth at that time to the Lord thy God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt 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 all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one afterwards swell with pride.
13 Y todo el pueblo oirá, y temerá, y no se ensoberbecerán más.
14 When thou art come into the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee, and possessest it, and shalt say: I will set a king over me, as all nations have that are round about:
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 Thou shalt set him whom the Lord thy God shall choose out of the number of thy brethren. Thou mayst not make a man of another nation king, that is not thy 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 is made king, he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people into Egypt, being lifted up with the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord hath commanded you to return no more 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, that may allure his mind, nor immense sums 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 But after he is raised to the throne of his kingdom, he shall copy out to himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, taking the copy of 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 shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and keep his words and ceremonies, that are commanded 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 that his heart be not lifted up with pride over his brethren, nor decline to the right or to the left, that he and his sons may reign 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.
