1 »Acuérdate siempre de celebrar la Pascua en honor del Señor tu Dios en el mes de aviv, porque fue en ese mes que el Señor tu Dios te sacó de Egipto durante la noche.
1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God; for in the month of Abib Yahweh your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
2 El sacrificio pascual lo tomarás de las ovejas o de las vacas, y lo ofrecerás al Señor tu Dios en su santuario.
2 You shall sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
3 Lo comerás con pan sin levadura. Deberás comer pan sin levadura durante siete días, en memoria del pan que comiste cuando escapaste de Egipto. Esto es para que te acuerdes que saliste de Egipto con tal prisa que no hubo tiempo de leudar el pan. Conmemorarás ese día todo el resto de tu vida.
3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste) that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
4 Durante siete días no habrá levadura en los hogares de ustedes, y ningún resto del cordero pascual será dejado para el día siguiente.
4 No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
5 »La Pascua no será comida en ninguna de las ciudades que el Señor tu Dios te da.
5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you;
6 La comerán en el lugar que el Señor ha escogido para su santuario. Sacrifícala en la tarde del aniversario, a la puesta del sol, que es la hora en que saliste de Egipto.
6 but at the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt.
7 Asarás el cordero y lo comerás, y regresarás a tu hogar a la mañana siguiente.
7 You shall roast and eat it in the place which Yahweh your God chooses. In the morning you shall return to your tents.
8 Durante los seis días siguientes no comerás pan leudado. El séptimo día habrá una fiesta solemne del pueblo de cada ciudad delante del Señor tu Dios. No hagas en ese día ningún trabajo.
8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Yahweh your God. You shall do no work.
9 »Siete semanas después del comienzo de la siega
9 You shall count for yourselves seven weeks. From the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to count seven weeks.
10 habrá otra fiesta delante del Señor tu Dios, llamada fiesta de las Semanas. Con este motivo le presentarás una ofrenda voluntaria en proporción a la bendición que el Señor tu Dios haya derramado sobre tu cosecha.
10 You shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a free will offering of your hand, which you shall give according to how Yahweh your God blesses you.
11 Este es un tiempo de gozo delante del Señor y lo celebrarás con tu familia y toda tu casa. No te olvides de invitar a los levitas que viven en tu ciudad, a los exiliados, a las viudas y a los huérfanos. Invítalos y haz que te acompañen en la celebración en el santuario.
11 You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
12 Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto, así que cumple cuidadosamente con este mandamiento.
12 You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt. You shall observe and do these statutes.
13 »Al final del tiempo de la cosecha, cuando el grano haya sido trillado, y las uvas hayan sido pisadas en el lagar, celebrarás otra fiesta, la fiesta de las Enramadas. Su celebración durará siete días. Serán días de alegría de los que participarán tu familia y tus siervos. Y no te olvides de invitar a los levitas, a los exiliados, a los huérfanos y a las viudas de tu pueblo. »La fiesta se celebrará en el santuario, que estará en el lugar que el Señor haya designado. Será tiempo de acción de gracias al Señor por la bendición que te ha dado de una buena cosecha y porque ha bendecido tu trabajo. Será un tiempo de gran gozo.
13 You shall keep the feast of booths seven days, after you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your wine press.

14 You shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates.
15 Not in this translation
15 You shall keep a feast to Yahweh your God seven days in the place which Yahweh chooses, because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
16 »Todo varón de Israel se presentará delante del Señor tu Dios tres veces al año en el santuario en ocasión de las siguientes fiestas: la fiesta de los Panes sin levadura, la fiesta de las Semanas y la fiesta de las Enramadas. En cada una de estas ocasiones presentarán una ofrenda al Señor.
16 Three times in a year all of your males shall appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he chooses: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths. They shall not appear before Yahweh empty.
17 Cada uno dará conforme a su posibilidad, según la bendición que el Señor le haya dado.
17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to Yahweh your God’s blessing which he has given you.
18 »Designa jueces y funcionarios administrativos en todas las ciudades que el Señor tu Dios te da. Ellos administrarán la justicia en todo el país.
18 You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 No torcerás las leyes para beneficiar al rico, ni aceptarás soborno. El soborno cierra los ojos de los sabios y corrompe las decisiones de los jueces.
19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
20 La justicia debe prevalecer. Esta es la única manera en que serás prosperado en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da.
20 You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
21 »No erigirás ninguna imagen de la diosa Aserá junto al altar del Señor tu Dios,
21 You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside Yahweh your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves.
22 y nunca levantarás piedras sagradas, porque el Señor lo aborrece.
22 Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which Yahweh your God hates.

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 …
