ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008) WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon) 1 »Si un hombre se casa y halla en su esposa algo indecoroso que no le agrada, puede escribir una carta en que declara que se ha divorciado de ella. Le dará a ella la carta y la despedirá. 1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 En caso de que ella se case otra vez 2 When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
3 y el nuevo marido también se divorcie de ella, o muera, 3 If the latter husband hates her, and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;
4 el primer marido no podrá tomarla nuevamente porque ella está contaminada. Esto pervertiría la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da. 4 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
5 »El recién casado no irá a la guerra ni se le ocupará en responsabilidades especiales. Estará libre durante un año para estar en casa gozando con su esposa. 5 When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 »Es ilegal tomar una piedra de molino como prenda porque es la herramienta con que su propietario se gana la vida. 6 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.
7 Si alguien rapta a un israelita y lo trata como esclavo o lo vende, el secuestrador deberá morir a fin de purgar el mal de entre ustedes. 7 If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
8 »Observa muy cuidadosamente las instrucciones del sacerdote en caso de lepra, porque yo le he dado las normas y las instrucciones que debes obedecer a la letra. 8 Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.
9 Recuerda lo que el Señor tu Dios le hizo a Miriam cuando venían de Egipto. 9 Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt.
10 »Si le prestas algo a otro hombre, no debes entrar a su casa para tomarle prenda; 10 When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.
11 espera afuera a que él mismo te la traiga. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.
12 »Si el hombre es pobre y en prenda te da su manto, no debes dormir en él. 12 If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
13 Devuélveselo en la tarde para que pueda usarlo en la noche y para que te bendiga. El Señor tu Dios te lo contará por justicia. 13 You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God.
14 »No oprimas al pobre asalariado, sea israelita o extranjero que viva en tu pueblo. 14 You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.
15 Págale su salario cada día, antes de la puesta del sol, porque es pobre y lo necesita diariamente. De otro modo él podría clamar al Señor en contra tuya y se te tendrá por pecado. 15 In his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.
16 »Los padres no morirán por los pecados de sus hijos, ni los hijos por los pecados de sus padres. Cada persona que merece la pena de muerte será ejecutada por su propio delito. 16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 »Debes juzgar con justicia a los exiliados y a los huérfanos; y jamás tomes como prenda la ropa de una viuda. 17 You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;
18 Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto y que el Señor tu Dios te rescató. Por esto es que te doy este mandamiento. 18 but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 Cuando cortes el trigo y se te quede en el campo una gavilla; no regreses a buscarla. Déjala para los exiliados, los huérfanos y las viudas. Entonces el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá y prosperará en todo lo que hagas. 19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 Cuando estés recogiendo las aceitunas de tus olivares, no repases las ramas dos veces recogiendo los restos. Deja las que queden para los exiliados, los huérfanos y las viudas. 20 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 Esto mismo te digo acerca de las uvas de tus viñedos: No rebusques las viñas después de la vendimia, deja el resto para los que tienen necesidad. 21 When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto. Por esta razón te doy este mandamiento. 22 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
