WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 You must not give a false report about anyone. Do not join with a wicked man to be a dishonest witness.
1 NO admitirás falso rumor. No te concertarás con el impío para ser testigo falso.
1 “You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
2 You must not follow a crowd to do evil, nor may you bear witness while siding with the crowd in order to pervert justice.
2 No seguirás á los muchos para mal hacer; ni responderás en litigio inclinándote á los más para hacer agravios;
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 must not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
3 Ni al pobre distinguirás en su causa.
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 must bring it back to him.
4 Si encontrares el buey de tu enemigo ó su asno extraviado, vuelve á llevárselo.
4 “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen to the ground under its load, you must not leave that person. You must surely help him with his donkey.
5 Si vieres el asno del que te aborrece caído debajo de su carga, ¿le dejarás entonces desamparado? Sin falta ayudarás con él á levantarlo.
5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him. You shall surely help him with it.
6 Do not thrust aside justice for your poor in his lawsuit.
6 No pervertirás el derecho de tu mendigo en su pleito.
6 “You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
7 Do not join others in making false accusations, and do not kill the innocent or righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.
7 De palabra de mentira te alejarás, y no matarás al inocente y justo; porque yo no justificaré al impío.
7 “Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
8 Never take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see, and perverts honest people's words.
8 No recibirás presente; porque el presente ciega á los que ven, y pervierte las palabras justas.
8 “You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
9 Y no angustiarás al extranjero: pues vosotros sabéis cómo se halla el alma del extranjero, ya que extranjeros fuisteis en la tierra de Egipto.
9 “You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
10 For six years you will sow seed on your land and gather in its produce.
10 Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y allegarás su cosecha:
10 “For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
11 But in the seventh year you will leave it unplowed and fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat. What they leave, the wild animals will eat. You will do the same with your vineyards and olive orchards.
11 Mas el séptimo la dejarás vacante y soltarás, para que coman los pobres de tu pueblo; y de lo que quedare comerán las bestias del campo; así harás de tu viña y de tu olivar.
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 During six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you must rest. Do this so that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and so that your female slave's son and any foreigner may rest and be refreshed.
12 Seis días harás tus negocios, y al séptimo día holgarás, á fin que descanse tu buey y tu asno, y tome refrigerio el hijo de tu sierva, y el extranjero.
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 Pay attention to everything that I have said to you. Do not mention the names of other gods, nor let their names be heard from your mouth.
13 Y en todo lo que os he dicho seréis avisados. Y nombre de otros dioses no mentaréis, ni se oirá de vuestra boca.
13 “Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth.
14 You must travel to hold a festival for me three times every year.
14 Tres veces en el año me celebraréis fiesta.
14 “You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
15 You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you will eat unleavened bread for seven days. At that time, you will appear before me in the month of Aviv, which is fixed for this purpose. It was in this month that you came out from Egypt. But you must not appear before me empty-handed.
15 La fiesta de los ázimos guardarás: siete días comerás los panes sin levadura, como yo te mandé, en el tiempo del mes de Abib; porque en él saliste de Egipto: y ninguno comparecerá vacío delante de mí:
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 You must observe the Festival of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors when you sowed seed in the fields. Also you must observe the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your produce from the fields.
16 También la fiesta de la siega, los primeros frutos de tus labores que hubieres sembrado en el campo; y la fiesta de la cosecha á la salida del año, cuando habrás recogido tus labores del campo.
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 All your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh three times every year.
17 Tres veces en el año parecerá todo varón tuyo delante del Señor Jehová.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.
18 You must not offer the blood from sacrifices made to me with bread containing yeast. The fat from the sacrifices at my festivals must not remain all night until the morning.
18 No ofrecerás con pan leudo la sangre de mi sacrificio; ni el sebo de mi víctima quedará de la noche hasta la mañana.
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 You must bring the choicest firstfruits from your land into my house, the house of Yahweh your God. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
19 Las primicias de los primeros frutos de tu tierra traerás á la casa de Jehová tu Dios. No guisarás el cabrito con 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 I am going to send an angel before you to guard you on the way, and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.
20 He aquí yo envío el Angel delante de ti para que te guarde en el camino, y te introduzca en el lugar que yo 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 Be attentive to him and obey him. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgressions. My name is on him.
21 Guárdate delante de él, y oye su voz; no le seas rebelde; porque él no perdonará vuestra rebelión: porque mi nombre está en él.
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 If you indeed obey his voice and do everything that I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
22 Pero si en verdad oyeres su voz, é hicieres todo lo que yo te dijere, seré enemigo á tus enemigos, y afligiré á los que te afligieren.
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 My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and the Jebusites. I will destroy them.
23 Porque mi Angel irá delante de ti, y te introducirá al Amorrheo, y al Hetheo, y al Pherezeo, y al Cananeo, y al Heveo, y al Jebuseo, á los cuales yo haré destruir.
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 You must not bow down to their gods, worship them, or do as they do. Instead, you must completely overthrow them and smash their stone pillars in pieces.
24 No te inclinarás á sus dioses, ni los servirás, ni harás como ellos hacen; antes los destruirás del todo, y quebrantarás enteramente sus estatuas.
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 You must worship Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and water. I will remove sickness from among you.
25 Mas á Jehová vuestro Dios serviréis, y él bendecirá tu pan y tus aguas; y yo quitaré toda enfermedad de en medio de ti.
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 woman will be barren or will miscarry her young in your land. I will give you long lives.
26 No habrá mujer que aborte, ni estéril en tu tierra; y yo cumpliré el número de tus días.
26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 I will send fear of myself on those into whose land you advance. I will kill all the people whom you meet. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in fright.
27 Yo enviaré mi terror delante de ti, y consternaré á todo pueblo donde tú entrares, y te daré la cerviz de todos tus enemigos.
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 I will send hornets before you that will drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.
28 Yo enviaré la avispa delante de ti, que eche fuera al Heveo, y al Cananeo, y al Hetheo, de delante de ti:
28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, or the land would become abandoned, and the wild animals would become too many for you.
29 No los echaré de delante de ti en un año, porque no quede la tierra desierta, y se aumenten contra ti las bestias del campo.
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 Instead, I will drive them out little by little from before you until you become fruitful and inherit the land.
30 Poco á poco los echaré de delante de ti, hasta que te multipliques y tomes la tierra por heredad.
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
31 I will fix your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will give you victory over the land's inhabitants. You will drive them out before yourselves.
31 Y yo pondré tu término desde el mar Bermejo hasta la mar de Palestina, y desde el desierto hasta el río: porque pondré en vuestras manos los moradores de la tierra, y tú los echarás de delante de ti.
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 You must not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
32 No harás alianza con ellos, ni con sus dioses.
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They must not live in your land, or they would make you sin against me. If you worship their gods, this will surely become a trap for you.'”
33 En tu tierra no habitarán, no sea que te hagan pecar contra mí sirviendo á sus dioses: porque te será de tropiezo.
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.”

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).
… thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light; for thou hast pronounced false judgments, and hast been accustomed to condemn the innocent, and to let the guilty go free, albeit the Lord saith, The innocent and the righteous shalt thou not slay."
