1 »Cuando hayas entrado en el territorio que el Señor tu Dios te da, si se encuentra en el campo un cadáver y no se sabe quién ha sido el homicida,
1 If someone is found slain in the land which Yahweh your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him,
2 los ancianos determinarán cuál es la ciudad que está más cerca del cadáver.
2 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain.
3 En seguida los ancianos de aquella ciudad tomarán una ternera que no haya trabajado
3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with and which has not drawn in the yoke.
4 y la llevarán a un arroyo en un valle que no haya sido arado ni sembrado, y allí le quebrarán el cuello.
4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
5 »Entonces vendrán los sacerdotes (porque el Señor tu Dios los ha escogido para que sirvan delante de él, pronuncien su bendición, decidan en los juicios y dicten sentencia)
5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them Yahweh your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in Yahweh’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided.
6 y los ancianos de la ciudad más cercana se lavarán las manos sobre la ternera
6 All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
7 y dirán: “Nuestras manos no han derramado esta sangre ni nuestros ojos lo han visto.
7 They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
8 Oh Señor, perdona a tu pueblo Israel, al que has reunido, y no lo culpes de la muerte de un hombre inocente”.
8 Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood among your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.
9 Quedarás libre de culpa al seguir las instrucciones del Señor.
9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from among you, when you shall do that which is right in Yahweh’s eyes.
10 »Cuando salgas a la guerra, y el Señor tu Dios te entregue a tus enemigos en tus manos,
10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away captive,
11 y veas entre los cautivos a una muchacha hermosa a la que deseas por esposa,
11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife,
12 llévala a tu casa contigo. Deberá afeitarse la cabeza, cortarse las uñas
12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim her nails.
13 y cambiarse de ropa, poniendo a un lado la que estaba usando cuando fue capturada. A continuación permanecerá en tu casa llorando a su padre y a su madre por todo un mes. Hecho esto, podrás casarte con ella.
13 She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
14 Sin embargo, si después de casarte con ella te das cuenta de que no te gusta, deberás dejarla libre. No podrás venderla ni tratarla como esclava, por cuanto la has humillado.
14 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.
15 »Si un hombre tiene dos esposas pero sólo ama a una de ellas, y las dos le han dado hijos, y la madre de su primogénito es la que no ama,
15 If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated,
16 no debe darle una herencia mayor al hijo de la esposa que él ama.
16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn;
17 Debe darle la doble porción acostumbrada al hijo mayor porque es el principio de su vigor, y tiene los derechos de primogenitura aun cuando es el hijo de la esposa que su padre no ama.
17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.
18 »Si un hombre tiene un hijo soberbio y rebelde que no obedece a su padre ni a su madre aun cuando ellos lo hayan castigado,
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen to them,
19 el padre y la madre lo llevarán delante de los ancianos de la ciudad
19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place.
20 y declararán: “Este hijo nuestro es soberbio y rebelde, y no obedece, es glotón y borracho”.
20 They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
21 Entonces los hombres de la ciudad lo apedrearán hasta darle muerte. De esta manera desarraigarás el mal de en medio de ti, y todos los jóvenes de Israel oirán lo ocurrido y tendrán temor.
21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. All Israel shall hear, and fear.
22 »Si un hombre ha cometido un crimen digno de muerte, y se le ejecuta colgándolo de un madero,
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,
23 su cuerpo no pasará la noche en el madero. Deberás sepultarlo el mismo día, porque es una maldición de Dios el que es colgado en un madero. No contaminarás la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te ha dado.
23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
