1 »Estas son las leyes que debes obedecer cuando llegues a la tierra que el Señor, el Dios de tus padres, te ha dado para siempre:
1 These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess all the days that you live on the earth.
2 »Destruirás todos los altares paganos dondequiera que los encuentres: en los montes altos, en los collados o debajo de los árboles frondosos.
2 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods: on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
3 Derribarás los altares, destruirás las estatuas, quemarás las imágenes de Aserá, destruirás los ídolos de metal y no dejarás nada que te los recuerde.
3 You shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, and burn their Asherah poles with fire. You shall cut down the engraved images of their gods. You shall destroy their name out of that place.
4 »No harás sacrificios a tu Dios en cualquier lugar como los paganos lo hacen con sus dioses. Por el contrario, deberás construir un santuario para Dios en un lugar que él mismo te señalará como su morada.
4 You shall not do so to Yahweh your God.
5 Not in this translation
5 But to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, you shall seek his habitation, and you shall come there.
6 Allí llevarás al Señor tus holocaustos y los demás sacrificios: los diezmos, las ofrendas presentadas con devoción delante del altar, el pago de tus votos, las ofrendas voluntarias y las primicias de tus rebaños y del ganado.
6 You shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the wave offering of your hand, your vows, your free will offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock there.
7 Tú y tu familia harán fiesta allí delante del Señor tu Dios y te regocijarás en todo lo que él ha hecho por ti.
7 There you shall eat before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.
8 »Nadie hará lo que bien le pareciere, como hasta ahora.
8 You shall not do all the things that we do here today, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;
9 Porque estas leyes no entran en vigor hasta que no hayas entrado al lugar de gozo que el Señor tu Dios te ha dado.
9 for you haven’t yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Yahweh your God gives you.
10 Pero cuando hayas cruzado el río y vivas en la Tierra prometida, y el Señor te dé reposo y te libere de todos tus enemigos,
10 But when you go over the Jordan and dwell in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that you dwell in safety,
11 llevarás todos tus sacrificios y ofrendas al santuario, al lugar que Dios elegirá como su morada.
11 then it shall happen that to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Yahweh.
12 Allí te regocijarás delante del Señor con tus hijos e hijas y siervos. Además, recuerda siempre de invitar a los levitas para que hagan fiesta contigo, porque ellos no tienen tierra propia.
12 You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God—you, and your sons, your daughters, your male servants, your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
13 »No presentarás tus holocaustos en cualquier lugar;
13 Be careful that you don’t offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;
14 podrás hacerlo solamente en el lugar que el Señor escogerá. Él elegirá un lugar en el territorio designado para una de las tribus. Solamente allí podrás hacer tus sacrificios y llevar tus ofrendas.
14 but in the place which Yahweh chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
15 Sin embargo, la carne que comas podrás obtenerla matando a tus animales en cualquier lugar, de la manera como lo haces ahora con la gacela o el ciervo. Come toda la carne que desees y con la frecuencia que puedas, conforme a la prosperidad que el Señor te haya dado. Los que estén ceremonialmente impuros también pueden comer.
15 Yet you may kill and eat meat within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to Yahweh your God’s blessing which he has given you. The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and the deer.
16 La única restricción es que no podrás comer sangre, derrámala sobre la tierra.
16 Only you shall not eat the blood. You shall pour it out on the earth like water.
17 »Sin embargo, no podrás comer en tu casa las ofrendas ni el diezmo de tus cosechas de grano, de tu vino o de tu aceite, ni las primicias de tus rebaños o de tus vacas, ni ninguna cosa que hayas dedicado al Señor; ni tus ofrendas voluntarias, ni las ofrendas que haya de presentarse al Señor meciéndolas delante de su altar.
17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your free will offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand;
18 Todas deberán ser llevadas delante el altar donde tú, tus hijos y los levitas comerán de ellas delante del Señor tu Dios. Él te dirá dónde quedará establecido este altar. Regocíjate delante del Señor tu Dios en todo lo que haces.
18 but you shall eat them before Yahweh your God in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates. You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God in all that you put your hand to.
19 No te olvides jamás de los levitas; comparte con ellos tu comida.
19 Be careful that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
20 »Cuando el Señor ensanche tu territorio, si el altar está demasiado lejos de ti, podrás matar tus ovejas y vacas en tu propia tierra, como lo haces actualmente con las gacelas y los ciervos. Aun las personas que estén ceremonialmente impuras podrán comer de ellos.
20 When Yahweh your God enlarges your border, as he has promised you, and you say, “I want to eat meat,” because your soul desires to eat meat, you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.
21 Not in this translation
21 If the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to put his name is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.
22 Not in this translation
22 Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.
23 La única restricción es que nunca coman sangre, porque la sangre es la vida, y no comerás la vida con la carne.
23 Only be sure that you don’t eat the blood; for the blood is the life. You shall not eat the life with the meat.
24 Derramarás la sangre sobre la tierra, de este modo, a tus hijos y a ti les irá bien.
24 You shall not eat it. You shall pour it out on the earth like water.
25 Not in this translation
25 You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, when you do that which is right in Yahweh’s eyes.
26 Pero lo que hayas consagrado al Señor, las ofrendas que hayas prometido en tus votos y los holocaustos deben ser llevados al altar. Esto sólo puede ser ofrecido sobre el altar del Señor, tu Dios. La sangre será derramada sobre el altar, y comerás la carne.
26 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take and go to the place which Yahweh shall choose.
27 Not in this translation
27 You shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on Yahweh your God’s altar. The blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on Yahweh your God’s altar, and you shall eat the meat.
28 »Obedece cuidadosamente todos estos mandamientos. Si haces lo que al Señor tu Dios le agrada, te irá bien a ti y a tus hijos para siempre.
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.
29 Cuando Dios destruya las naciones que habitan en la tierra donde tú vivirás, y las hayas expulsado,
29 When Yahweh your God cuts off the nations from before you where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,
30 procura no seguir su ejemplo ni adores a sus dioses. Tampoco te dejes llevar por la curiosidad y preguntes cómo adoran a sus dioses estas naciones, para luego ir y adorarlos de la manera que ellos lo hacen.
30 be careful that you are not ensnared to follow them after they are destroyed from before you, and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”
31 No debes insultar a tu Dios de esa manera. Estas naciones han hecho cosas abominables que él aborrece, todo en nombre de su religión. Hasta han llegado a quemar a sus hijos y a sus hijas delante de sus dioses.
31 You shall not do so to Yahweh your God; for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, they have done to their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 Obedece todos los mandamientos que yo te doy; no les añadas ni les quites nada.
32 Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.

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).
This is the special and peculiar place of true worship; for it is said "Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place...but in the place the Lord thy God shall choose." Now what is a spiritual burnt offering?
