Deuteronomy 24 Majority Standard Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 If a man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds some indecency in her, he may write her a certificate of divorce, hand it to her, and send her away from his house.
1 CUANDO alguno tomare mujer y se casare con ella, si no le agradare por haber hallado en ella alguna cosa torpe, le escribirá carta de repudio, y se la entregará en su mano, y despedirála de su casa.
2 If, after leaving his house, she goes and becomes another man’s wife,
2 Y salida de su casa, podrá ir y casarse con otro hombre.
3 and the second man hates her, writes her a certificate of divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house, or if he dies,
3 Y si la aborreciere aqueste último, y le escribiere carta de repudio, y se la entregare en su mano, y la despidiere de su casa; ó si muriere el postrer hombre que la tomó para sí por mujer,
4 then the husband who divorced her first may not remarry her after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
4 No podrá su primer marido, que la despidió, volverla á tomar para que sea su mujer, después que fué amancillada; porque es abominación delante de Jehová, y no has de pervertir la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad.
5 If a man is newly married, he must not be sent to war or be pressed into any duty. For one year he is free to stay at home and bring joy to the wife he has married.
5 Cuando tomare alguno mujer nueva, no saldrá á la guerra, ni en ninguna cosa se le ocupará; libre estará en su casa por un año, para alegrar á su mujer que tomó.
6 Do not take a pair of millstones or even an upper millstone as security for a debt, because that would be taking one’s livelihood as security.
6 No tomarás en prenda la muela de molino, ni la de abajo ni la de arriba: porque sería prendar la vida.
7 If a man is caught kidnapping one of his Israelite brothers, whether he treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. So you must purge the evil from among you.
7 Cuando fuere hallado alguno que haya hurtado persona de sus hermanos los hijos de Israel, y hubiere mercadeado con ella, ó la hubiere vendido, el tal ladrón morirá, y quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
8 In cases of infectious skin diseases, be careful to diligently follow everything the Levitical priests instruct you. Be careful to do as I have commanded them.
8 Guárdate de llaga de lepra, observando diligentemente, y haciendo según todo lo que os enseñaren los sacerdotes Levitas: cuidaréis de hacer como les he mandado.
9 Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the journey after you came out of Egypt.
9 Acuérdate de lo que hizo Jehová tu Dios á María en el camino, después que salisteis de Egipto.
10 When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.
10 Cuando dieres á tu prójimo alguna cosa emprestada, no entrarás en su casa para tomarle prenda:
11 You are to stand outside while the man to whom you are lending brings the security out to you.
11 Fuera estarás, y el hombre á quien prestaste, te sacará afuera la prenda.
12 If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession;
12 Y si fuere hombre pobre, no duermas con su prenda:
13 be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.
13 Precisamente le devolverás la prenda cuando el sol se ponga, para que duerma en su ropa, y te bendiga: y te será justicia delante de Jehová tu Dios.
14 Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.
14 No hagas agravio al jornalero pobre y menesteroso, así de tus hermanos como de tus extranjeros que están en tu tierra en tus ciudades:
15 You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
15 En su día le darás su jornal, y no se pondrá el sol sin dárselo: pues es pobre, y con él sustenta su vida: porque no clame contra ti á Jehová, y sea en ti pecado.
16 Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.
16 Los padres no morirán por los hijos, ni los hijos por los padres; cada uno morirá por su pecado.
17 Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security.
17 No torcerás el derecho del peregrino y del huérfano; ni tomarás por prenda la ropa de la viuda:
18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from that place. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.
18 Mas acuérdate que fuiste siervo en Egipto, y de allí te rescató Jehová tu Dios: por tanto, yo te mando que hagas esto.
19 If you are harvesting in your field and forget a sheaf there, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
19 Cuando segares tu mies en tu campo, y olvidares alguna gavilla en el campo, no volverás á tomarla: para el extranjero, para el huérfano, y para la viuda será; porque te bendiga Jehová tu Dios en toda obra de tus manos.
20 When you beat the olives from your trees, you must not go over the branches again. What remains will be for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow.
20 Cuando sacudieres tus olivas, no recorrerás las ramas tras ti: para el extranjero, para el huérfano, y para la viuda será.
21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not go over the vines again. What remains will be for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow.
21 Cuando vendimiares tu viña, no rebuscarás tras ti: para el extranjero, para el huérfano, y para la viuda será.
22 Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.
22 Y acuérdate que fuiste siervo en tierra de Egipto: por tanto, yo te mando que hagas esto.

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).
And what is this? There was an ancient law made, that he who hated his wife, for whatever kind of cause, should not be forbidden to cast her out, and to bring home another instead of her.
