Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 You are to observe the month of Abib and to celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, because it was in the month of Abib that the Lord your God led you out of Egypt by night.
1 GUARDARÁS el mes de Abib, y harás pascua á Jehová tu Dios: porque en el mes de Abib te sacó Jehová tu Dios de Egipto de noche.
2 The Passover sacrifice from your herd or flock must be offered to the Lord your God in the place where the Lord will choose to live with you.
2 Y sacrificarás la pascua á Jehová tu Dios, de las ovejas y de las vacas, en el lugar que Jehová escogiere para hacer habitar allí su nombre.
3 Don't eat ordinary bread with it. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, the bread of hardship, because you had to leave Egypt in such a hurry. This way you'll remember the day you left Egypt for the rest of your lives.
3 No comerás con ella leudo; siete días comerás con ella pan por leudar, pan de aflicción, porque apriesa saliste de tierra de Egipto: para que te acuerdes del día en que saliste de la tierra de Egipto todos los días de tu vida.
4 Don't have yeast anywhere in your country for seven days. Don't keep any of the meat that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day until the morning.
4 Y no se dejará ver levadura contigo en todo tu término por siete días; y de la carne que matares á la tarde del primer día, no quedará hasta la mañana.
5 Don't sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the Lord your God is giving you.
5 No podrás sacrificar la pascua en ninguna de tus ciudades, que Jehová tu Dios te da;
6 The Passover sacrifice must be offered by you only at the place where the Lord your God will choose to live with you. You are to do this in the evening at sunset-the same time you left Egypt.
6 Sino en el lugar que Jehová tu Dios escogiere para hacer habitar allí su nombre, sacrificarás la pascua por la tarde á puesta del sol, al tiempo que saliste de Egipto:
7 Cook it and eat it in the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning go back to your tents.
7 Y la asarás y comerás en el lugar que Jehová tu Dios hubiere escogido; y por la mañana te volverás y restituirás á tu morada.
8 Eat bread without yeast for six days, and then on the seventh day you are to have a holy meeting to honor the Lord your God. You are not to do any work.
8 Seis días comerás ázimos, y el séptimo día será solemnidad á Jehová tu Dios: no harás obra [en él].
9 Count off seven weeks from when you start the grain harvest.
9 Siete semanas te contarás: desde que comenzare la hoz en las mieses comenzarás á contarte las siete semanas.
10 Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to honor the Lord your God by giving him a freewill offering, depending on just how much the Lord your God has blessed you.
10 Y harás la solemnidad de las semanas á Jehová tu Dios: de la suficiencia voluntaria de tu mano será lo que dieres, según Jehová tu Dios te hubiere bendecido.
11 You will celebrate in the Lord's presence in the place where he will choose to live with you. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.
11 Y te alegrarás delante de Jehová tu Dios, tú, y tu hijo, y tu hija, y tu siervo, y tu sierva, y el Levita que estuviere en tus ciudades, y el extranjero, y el huérfano, y la viuda, que estuvieren en medio de ti, en el lugar que Jehová tu Dios hubiere escogido para hacer habitar allí su nombre.
12 Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt, and be careful to follow these regulations.
12 Y acuérdate que fuiste siervo en Egipto; por tanto guardarás y cumplirás estos estatutos.
13 Celebrate the Festival of Shelters for seven days once you have finished threshing your grain and pressing your grapes.
13 La solemnidad de las cabañas harás por siete días, cuando hubieres hecho la cosecha de tu era y de tu lagar.
14 Enjoy your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.
14 Y te alegrarás en tus solemnidades, tú, y tu hijo, y tu hija, y tu siervo, y tu sierva, y el Levita, y el extranjero, y el huérfano, y la viuda, que están en tus poblaciones.
15 Celebrate this Festival for seven days to honor the Lord your God in the place he will choose, because the Lord your God will bless your whole harvest and everything you do, so you will be really happy.
15 Siete días celebrarás solemnidad á Jehová tu Dios en el lugar que Jehová escogiere; porque te habrá bendecido Jehová tu Dios en todos tus frutos, y en toda obra de tus manos, y estarás ciertamente alegre.
16 All your men must come before the Lord your God in the place He will choose three times every year: the Festival of Bread without Yeast, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters. No one should come before the Lord without an offering.
16 Tres veces cada un año parecerá todo varón tuyo delante de Jehová tu Dios en el lugar que él escogiere: en la solemnidad de los ázimos, y en la solemnidad de las semanas, y en la solemnidad de las cabañas. Y no parecerá vacío delante de Jehová:
17 Each of you is to bring whatever gift you can, depending on how much the Lord your God has blessed you.
17 Cada uno con el don de su mano, conforme á la bendición de Jehová tu Dios, que te hubiere dado.
18 Choose judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town that the Lord your God is giving you. They must judge the people fairly.
18 Jueces y alcaldes te pondrás en todas tus ciudades que Jehová tu Dios te dará en tus tribus, los cuales juzgarán al pueblo con justo juicio.
19 Don't pervert justice or show favoritism. Don't take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the wise and twists the words of the truthful.
19 No tuerzas el derecho; no hagas acepción de personas, ni tomes soborno; porque el soborno ciega los ojos de los sabios, y pervierte las palabras de los justos.
20 Always do what is right and just, so that you may go on living, occupying the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
20 La justicia, la justicia seguirás, porque vivas y heredes la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.
21 Don't ever set up a wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you build for the Lord your God,
21 No te plantarás bosque de ningún árbol cerca del altar de Jehová tu Dios, que tú te habrás hecho.
22 and don't make for yourselves an idolatrous stone pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
22 Ni te levantarás estatua; lo cual aborrece Jehová tu Dios.

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).
… the passover within any other of thy cities which the Lord God gives thee; but in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose that His name be called on there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, towards the setting of the sun."
… thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then return and offer thy gift." We are bound, therefore, to offer to God the first-fruits of His creation, as Moses also says, "Thou shalt not appear in the presence of the Lord thy God empty;" so that man, being accounted as grateful, by those things in which he has shown …
