1 Don't sacrifice to the Lord your God cattle or a sheep that has a defect or has something seriously wrong, for that is offensive 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.
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 There may be a report that one of you, whether a man or a woman, living in a town that the Lord your God gave you, has been found to be sinning in the sight of the Lord your God by breaking the Lord's agreement.
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,
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 This person has done this by going to worship other gods, bowing down to them—or to the sun, moon, or any of the stars of heaven—which I have ordered you not to do.
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;
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 If you hear such a report, you need to make a full investigation. If you find out that the report is true, and that such an awful sin has been 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;
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 you must have the man or woman who has committed this terrible act taken outside the town and 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.
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 That person is to be executed based on the evidence given by two or three witnesses. No one shall be executed on the evidence given by a single witness.
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.
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 The witnesses must act first in executing the person, and then the rest of those who are present. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
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.
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 If there's a case before your town court that is too problematic for you to settle, whether the argument is over murder or manslaughter, one legal decision against another, or different degrees of assault, you must take the issue to the place 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;
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 Go to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge in charge. Present the case to them, and they will give you their decision.
9 Y vendrás á los sacerdotes Levitas, y al juez que fuere en aquellos días, y preguntarás; y te enseñarán la sentencia del juicio.
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 You must abide by the decision they give you there at the place the Lord will choose. Make sure you do everything they tell you to do,
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.
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 in accordance with the legal instructions they give you and the verdict they delivered. Don't deviate from the decision they give you.
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.
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 Anyone who treats with contempt either the priest (who ministers before the Lord your God) or the judge, must be executed. You must eliminate this 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.
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 Then everyone else will hear about it and be afraid, and won't act with contempt in the future.
13 Y todo el pueblo oirá, y temerá, y no se ensoberbecerán más.
13 All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14 After you've entered the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it over and settled in it, and you decide, “Let's have a king to rule over us like all the other nations around us do,”
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;
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 you can have a king but only one chosen by the Lord your God. He must be an Israelite. You must not have a king who is a foreigner; someone who is not an Israelite.
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.
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 Your king must not have large numbers of horses, or send his men to Egypt to buy more horses, because the Lord has declared, “You must never return there again.”
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.
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 He must not have many wives, so they don't lead him away from following the Lord. He must not have large quantities 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.
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 Once he is king and sits on his royal throne, he must make a copy for himself of these instructions, writing them on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
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;
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 He is to keep it with him, and he is to read from it each day throughout his life, so he may learn to respect the Lord his God by being careful to follow every word of these instructions and regulations.
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:
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 Then he won't think more of himself than his fellow Israelites, and he won't deviate from the commandments, so that he and his sons may have long reigns over the kingdom of 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.
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.
