1 Es posible que encuentres a un hombre asesinado, tirado en un campo en el país que el Señor tu Dios te da, y que nadie sepa quién lo mató.
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 Tus ancianos y jueces deben venir y medir la distancia del cuerpo a los pueblos de alrededor.
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 Entonces los ancianos del pueblo que se encuentren más cerca del cuerpo tomarán una vaca que nunca haya sido sometida a un yugo o utilizada para el trabajo.
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 Llevarán la vaca a un valle que tenga un arroyo que lo atraviese y cuya tierra nunca haya sido arada o sembrada. Rómpele el cuello a la vaca allí, junto al arroyo.
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 Los sacerdotes levitas deben estar allí también, porque el Señor tu Dios los ha elegido para servirle y para dar bendiciones en su nombre, y para decidir sobre las disputas legales y los casos de asalto.
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 Entonces todos los ancianos del pueblo más cercano al cuerpo deben lavarse las manos en el arroyo sobre la vaca muerta, diciendo,
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 “No tuvimos nada que ver con este asesinato, y no vimos quién lo hizo.
7 They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
8 Señor, por favor perdona a tu pueblo Israel, a quien rescataste, y no lo hagas culpable de derramar sangre inocente. De esta manera la culpa por derramar sangre será perdonada”.
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 Así es como deberán quitarse la culpa de derramar sangre inocente, ya que han hecho lo que es correcto a los ojos 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 vayan a la guerra con sus enemigos y el Señor su Dios los entregue en derrota y los capturen,
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 es posible que vean que uno de ellos es una mujer hermosa que les gusta y con la que se quieren casar.
11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife,
12 Llévenla a casa y hagan que se afeite la cabeza, que se corte las uñas,
12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim her nails.
13 y que se deshaga de la ropa que llevaba puesta cuando fue capturada. Después de que haya vivido en tu casa y haya terminado su mes de luto por su padre y su madre, puedes dormir con ella y casarte con ella, y será tu esposa.
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 no eres feliz con ella, debes dejarla ir donde ella quiera. No se te permite venderla por dinero o tratarla como una esclava, porque la has avergonzado.
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, una que ama y otra que no, y ambas tienen hijos a su cargo, pero el hijo primogénito es de la esposa 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 cuando llegue el momento de que el hombre decida lo que cada hijo heredará de él, no debe preferir al hijo de la esposa que ama y tratarlo como primogénito en lugar del hijo de la esposa que no 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 Sino que debe reconocer al primogénito, el hijo de la esposa que no ama por medio de la costumbre habitual de darle una doble porción de todo lo que posee. El hijo primogénito es la primicia de la fuerza de su padre, y por lo tanto los derechos del primogénito son suyos.
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 alguien tiene un hijo obstinado y rebelde que no obedece a sus padres y no les obedece ni siquiera cuando está 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 sus padres deben llevarlo a los ancianos del pueblo, al tribunal de su ciudad natal,
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 decirles: “Nuestro hijo es obstinado y rebelde, no nos obedece. ¡Es un borracho inútil!”
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 todos los hombres de su pueblo lo apedrearán hasta la muerte. Deben eliminar el mal de entre ustedes, y todo israelita se enterará y tendrá miedo.
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 alguien comete un crimen castigado con la muerte, y la persona es ejecutada colgando de un árbol,
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 no dejes el cuerpo colgando allí de la noche a la mañana. Asegúrate de enterrar el cuerpo el mismo día, porque cualquiera que sea colgado está bajo la maldición de Dios. No profanen el país que el Señor su Dios les ha dado para que lo posean.
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.
