LSV Literal Standard Version

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 When a man steals an ox or sheep, and has slaughtered it or sold it, he repays [with] five of the herd for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.

1 CUANDO alguno hurtare buey ú oveja, y le degollare ó vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.

2 If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;

2 Si el ladrón fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.

3 if the sun has risen on him, blood [is] for him, he certainly repays; if he has nothing, then he has been sold for his theft;

3 Si el sol hubiere sobre él salido, el [matador] será reo de homicidio: [el ladrón] habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.

4 if the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.

4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey ó asno ú oveja vivos, pagará el duplo.

5 When a man depastures a field or vineyard, and has sent out his beast, and it has pastured in the field of another, he repays [with] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard.

5 Si alguno hiciere pacer campo ó viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.

6 When fire goes forth and has found thorns, and a stack, or the standing grain, or the field has been consumed, he who causes the burning certainly repays.

6 Cuando rompiere un fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, ó haza, ó campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.

7 When a man gives silver or vessels to his neighbor to keep, and it has been stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found, he repays double.

7 Cuando alguno diere á su prójimo plata ó alhajas á guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble.

8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house has been brought near to God [to see] whether he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor.

8 Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado á los jueces, [para ver] si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.

9 For every matter of transgression, for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his, the matter of them both comes to God; he whom God condemns repays double to his neighbor.

9 Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío, la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces; y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble á su prójimo.

10 When a man gives to his neighbor a donkey, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it has died, or has been hurt, or taken captive, [with] none seeing—

10 Si alguno hubiere dado á su prójimo asno, ó buey, ú oveja, ó cualquier otro animal á guardar, y se muriere, ó se perniquebrare, ó fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;

11 an oath of YHWH is between them both, that he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor, and its owner has accepted, and he does not repay;

11 Juramento de Jehová tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no echó su mano á la hacienda de su prójimo: y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.

12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;

12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, resarcirá á su dueño.

13 if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.

13 Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.

14 And when a man asks for [anything] from his neighbor, and it has been hurt or has died—its owner not being with it—he certainly repays;

14 Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada [bestia] de su prójimo, y fuere estropeada ó muerta, ausente su dueño, deberá pagar[la].

15 if its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.

15 Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.

16 And when a man entices a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and has lain with her, he certainly endows her to himself for a wife;

16 Y si alguno engañare á alguna doncella que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.

17 if her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.

17 Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.

18 You do not keep a witch alive.

18 A la hechicera no dejarás que viva.

19 Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.

19 Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.

20 He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.

20 El que sacrificare á dioses, excepto á sólo Jehová, será muerto.

21 And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.

21 Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.

22 You do not afflict any widow or orphan;

22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.

23 if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;

23 Que si tú llegas á afligirle, y él á mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;

24 and My anger has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.

24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré á cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.

25 If you lend money [to] My poor people [who are] with you, you are not as a usurer to him; you do not lay usury on him;

25 Si dieres á mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.

26 if you take the garment of your neighbor in pledge at all, you return it to him during the going in of the sun:

26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, á puestas del sol se lo volverás:

27 for it is his only covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein does he lie down? And it has come to pass, when he cries to Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.

27 Porque sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquél el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir: y será que cuando él á mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.

28 You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your people.

28 No denostarás á los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.

29 You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;

29 No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor: me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.

30 so you do to your ox [and] to your sheep; it is with its mother [for] seven days, on the eighth day you give it to Me.

30 Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.

31 And you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.

31 Y habéis de serme varones santos: y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; á los perros la echaréis.

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).

Quotes verse 22:20 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book X)
On the contrary, these higher powers acquiesce heartily in the divine sentence in which it is written, "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed."

… intelligible and unchangeable law, from that heavenly council-chamber,--for they sit in counsel regarding us,--that holy Scripture, descended to us by the ministry of angels, in which it is written, "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed," --this Scripture, this law, these precepts, have been confirmed by such miracles, that it is …

Quotes verse 22:20 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIX, Chapters 18–21)
But, not to speak of their character, it is written in the law of the true God, "He that sacrificeth unto any god save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed." He, therefore, who uttered so menacing a commandment decreed that no worship should be given either to good or bad gods.
