1 No sacrificarás a Yavé tu ʼElohim un becerro o una oveja que tenga falla o defecto, porque es repugnancia a Yavé tu ʼElohim.
1 You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox or a sheep in which is a defect or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
2 Si en alguna de las ciudades que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da, se halla en medio de ti algún hombre o mujer que hace lo malo ante Yavé tu ʼElohim, porque quebranta su Pacto,
2 If there is found among you, within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in Yahweh your God’s sight in transgressing his covenant,
3 ofrece culto a otros ʼelohim, se postra ante ellos, el sol, la luna o la hueste del cielo, y hace lo que Yo no mandé
3 and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded,
4 y te lo dicen, si después de escucharlo y hacer una completa indagación, con seguridad es cierto que tal repugnancia se cometió en Israel,
4 and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
5 entonces sacarás a tus puertas a ese hombre o a esa esposa que cometió esa mala acción, y lo apedrearás hasta que muera.
5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
6 Por declaración de dos o tres testigos morirá el que debe morir. No podrá ser condenado a muerte por el testimonio de un solo testigo.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
7 La mano de los testigos se levantará primero contra él para matarlo, y después la mano de todo el pueblo. Así quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
8 Si surge un caso demasiado difícil de decidir en un juicio ya sea alguna clase de homicidio u otra, entre alguna clase de litigio u otro, que son casos de controversia en tus tribunales de justicia, entonces te levantarás y subirás al lugar que Yavé tu ʼElohim escoja.
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh your God chooses.
9 Irás a los sacerdotes levitas y al juez que esté en funciones en aquellos días, y consultarás. Ellos te indicarán el veredicto del caso.
9 You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall inquire, and they shall give you the verdict.
10 Entonces actuarás según el veredicto que te indicaron desde aquel lugar que Yavé escoja, y cuidarás de hacer conforme a todo lo que te indiquen.
10 You shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which Yahweh chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you.
11 Actuarás según la instrucción que ellos te enseñen, y según el veredicto que te digan. No te apartarás ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda de la sentencia que te declaren.
11 According to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn away from the sentence which they announce to you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
12 El que proceda con soberbia y no obedezca al juez y al sacerdote que esté allí para servir a Yavé tu ʼElohim, morirá. Así eliminarás el mal de Israel.
12 The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.
13 Todo el pueblo oirá y temerá, y ya no actuará con soberbia.
13 All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14 Cuando entres en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da, la tengas en posesión, vivas en ella y digas: Deseo designar sobre mí un rey, como todas las naciones que están alrededor de mí,
14 When you have come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”
15 solo designarás rey sobre ti a aquel a quien Yavé tu ʼElohim escogió. Instituirás como rey sobre ti a uno de entre tus hermanos. No podrás colocar sobre ti a un extranjero que no sea hermano tuyo.
15 you shall surely set him whom Yahweh your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
16 Pero él no aumentará para él caballos, ni ordenará que el pueblo regrese a Egipto para aumentar caballos, porque Yavé les dijo: Jamás volverán ustedes por ese camino.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”
17 No tomará para él muchas mujeres, no sea que se desvíe su corazón. Ni acumulará para él mucha plata y oro.
17 He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 Sucederá que, cuando se siente en el trono de su reino, escribirá para él una copia de esta Ley en un rollo, en presencia de los levitas sacerdotes.
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.
19 La tendrá consigo y leerá en ella todos los días de su vida para que aprenda a temer a Yavé su ʼElohim, y observe diligentemente todas las palabras de esta Ley y de estos Preceptos para cumplirlos,
19 It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
20 a fin de que su corazón no se eleve sobre sus hermanos, ni se aparte del Mandamiento ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda, para que él y sus hijos prolonguen sus días en su reino en medio de Israel.
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away from the commandment to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the middle of Israel.
