1 »No acepten falsos rumores. »No cooperen con el malvado apoyando su testimonio, cuando sepan que es falso.
1 “You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
2 »No sigan a las mayorías que intenten hacer mal. Cuando estén en el estrado de los testigos, no inclinen sus testimonios a favor de la mayoría presente ni hacia el pobre, por el simple hecho de ser pobre.
2 “You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.

3 You shall not favor a poor man in his cause.

4 “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 Si ven que su enemigo trata de levantar su burro que ha caído bajo una pesada carga, deberán detenerse a ayudarle.

10 »Sembrarán y cosecharán durante seis años,
10 “For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
11 pero la tierra descansará durante el séptimo año, y los pobres del pueblo podrán espigar lo que salga espontáneamente; el resto lo dejarán para que coman los animales. Esta misma regla se aplica a sus viñedos y olivares.
11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
12 »Trabajarán seis días solamente y descansarán el séptimo. Esto es para dar descanso a su buey y su asno, a sus esclavos y al extranjero que viva con ustedes.
12 “Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.
13 »Obedezcan todas estas cosas, y recuerden que no deben ni siquiera mencionar el nombre de otro dios.

14 »Deberán celebrar tres fiestas religiosas en el año.
14 “You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
15 La primera es la de los Panes sin levadura. Durante siete días no comerán pan con levadura, conforme a lo que les he ordenado. Esta celebración será anual. La celebrarán en el mes de aviv, que fue el mes en que salieron de Egipto. Cada uno deberá ofrecerme algún sacrificio en esa fecha.
15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.
16 »También celebrarán la fiesta de las Primicias, en la que me ofrecerán las primicias de la cosecha. Y finalmente, la fiesta de la Cosecha, cuando termine el trabajo de recolección de la cosecha.
16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.
17 »Cada año, en estas tres fiestas, todo varón de Israel se presentará delante del Señor.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.
18 »Ningún sacrificio de sangre será ofrecido con panes con levadura; no se dejará la grasa del animal sacrificado para ofrecerla al día siguiente.
18 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
19 »Llevarán a la casa del Señor los primeros y mejores frutos de sus campos. »No cocerán el cabrito en la leche de su madre.
19 You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of Yahweh your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
20 »Miren, estoy enviando un ángel delante de ustedes, para que lleguen con seguridad a la tierra que les he preparado.
20 “Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Muéstrenle reverencia y obedezcan todas sus órdenes. No se rebelen contra él, porque él actúa en mi nombre, y no les perdonará sus faltas.
21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.
22 Si le obedecen cuidadosamente y siguen todas sus instrucciones, yo seré enemigo de sus enemigos.
22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 Y mi ángel irá delante de ustedes y los conducirá a la tierra de los amorreos, de los ferezeos, de los hititas, de los cananeos, de los heveos y de los jebuseos, para que vivan en ella. Yo destruiré estos pueblos delante de ustedes.
23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
24 »No adorarán dioses de otras naciones ni les ofrecerán sacrificios; no deben imitar el ejemplo de esos pueblos paganos. Deben vencerlos completamente y destrozar todos sus ídolos vergonzosos.
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
25 »Servirán al Señor su Dios solamente, y yo los bendeciré con alimentos y agua, y apartaré toda enfermedad de entre ustedes.
25 You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
26 No habrá abortos ni esterilidad en su tierra, y vivirán a plenitud todos los días de su vida.
26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 »El pánico del Señor caerá sobre las naciones que ustedes invadan, de modo que sus habitantes huirán delante de ustedes.
27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 »Enviaré delante de ustedes avispas que expulsen a los heveos, cananeos e hititas.
28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
29 No lo haré todo en un solo año, porque la tierra se convertiría en un desierto y los animales salvajes se multiplicarían, de manera que no se podrían dominar.
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
30 Los expulsaré poco a poco, hasta que la población de ustedes haya crecido lo suficiente como para llenar la tierra.
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
31 Los límites que les pondré serán desde el Mar Rojo hasta la costa de los filisteos, y desde el desierto hasta el río Éufrates. Haré que ustedes venzan a los pueblos que hoy viven en esa tierra, y los expulsen de la región.
31 I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32 »No deberán hacer pacto con ellos, ni tendrán parte alguna con sus dioses.
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 No dejen que vivan entre ustedes, porque yo sé que ellos los contaminarán con su pecado de adorar a dioses falsos, y eso sería la ruina de ustedes».
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

“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.
