YLT Young's Literal Translation

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 'When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.

1 CUANDO alguno hurtare buey ú oveja, y le degollare ó vendiere, por aquel buey pagará cinco bueyes, y por aquella oveja cuatro ovejas.

2 'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;

2 Si el ladrón fuere hallado forzando una casa, y fuere herido y muriere, el que le hirió no será culpado de su muerte.

3 if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;

3 Si el sol hubiere sobre él salido, el [matador] será reo de homicidio: [el ladrón] habrá de restituir cumplidamente; si no tuviere, será vendido por su hurto.

4 if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.

4 Si fuere hallado con el hurto en la mano, sea buey ó asno ú oveja vivos, pagará el duplo.

5 'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.

5 Si alguno hiciere pacer campo ó viña, y metiere su bestia, y comiere la tierra de otro, de lo mejor de su tierra y de lo mejor de su viña pagará.

6 'When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.

6 Cuando rompiere un fuego, y hallare espinas, y fuere quemado montón, ó haza, ó campo, el que encendió el fuego pagará lo quemado.

7 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.

7 Cuando alguno diere á su prójimo plata ó alhajas á guardar, y fuere hurtado de la casa de aquel hombre, si el ladrón se hallare, pagará el doble.

8 'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;

8 Si el ladrón no se hallare, entonces el dueño de la casa será presentado á los jueces, [para ver] si ha metido su mano en la hacienda de su prójimo.

9 for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.

9 Sobre todo negocio de fraude, sobre buey, sobre asno, sobre oveja, sobre vestido, sobre toda cosa perdida, cuando uno dijere: Esto es mío, la causa de ambos vendrá delante de los jueces; y el que los jueces condenaren, pagará el doble á su prójimo.

10 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing —

10 Si alguno hubiere dado á su prójimo asno, ó buey, ú oveja, ó cualquier otro animal á guardar, y se muriere, ó se perniquebrare, ó fuere llevado sin verlo nadie;

11 an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;

11 Juramento de Jehová tendrá lugar entre ambos de que no echó su mano á la hacienda de su prójimo: y su dueño lo aceptará, y el otro no pagará.

12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;

12 Mas si le hubiere sido hurtado, resarcirá á su dueño.

13 if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.

13 Y si le hubiere sido arrebatado por fiera, traerle ha testimonio, y no pagará lo arrebatado.

14 'And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died — its owner not being with it — he doth certainly repay;

14 Pero si alguno hubiere tomado prestada [bestia] de su prójimo, y fuere estropeada ó muerta, ausente su dueño, deberá pagar[la].

15 if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.

15 Si el dueño estaba presente, no la pagará. Si era alquilada, él vendrá por su alquiler.

16 'And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;

16 Y si alguno engañare á alguna doncella que no fuere desposada, y durmiere con ella, deberá dotarla y tomarla por mujer.

17 if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.

17 Si su padre no quisiere dársela, él le pesará plata conforme al dote de las vírgenes.

18 'A witch thou dost not keep alive.

18 A la hechicera no dejarás que viva.

19 'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.

19 Cualquiera que tuviere ayuntamiento con bestia, morirá.

20 'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.

20 El que sacrificare á dioses, excepto á sólo Jehová, será muerto.

21 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

21 Y al extranjero no engañarás, ni angustiarás, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto.

22 'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;

22 A ninguna viuda ni huérfano afligiréis.

23 if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;

23 Que si tú llegas á afligirle, y él á mí clamare, ciertamente oiré yo su clamor;

24 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.

24 Y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré á cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.

25 'If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;

25 Si dieres á mi pueblo dinero emprestado, al pobre que está contigo, no te portarás con él como logrero, ni le impondrás usura.

26 if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:

26 Si tomares en prenda el vestido de tu prójimo, á puestas del sol se lo volverás:

27 for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.

27 Porque sólo aquello es su cubierta, es aquél el vestido para cubrir sus carnes, en el que ha de dormir: y será que cuando él á mí clamare, yo entonces le oiré, porque soy misericordioso.

28 'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.

28 No denostarás á los jueces, ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo.

29 'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;

29 No dilatarás la primicia de tu cosecha, ni de tu licor: me darás el primogénito de tus hijos.

30 so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.

30 Así harás con el de tu buey y de tu oveja: siete días estará con su madre, y al octavo día me lo darás.

31 'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.

31 Y habéis de serme varones santos: y no comeréis carne arrebatada de las fieras en el campo; á los perros la echaréis.

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).

Quotes verse 22:20 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book X)
On the contrary, these higher powers acquiesce heartily in the divine sentence in which it is written, "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed."

… intelligible and unchangeable law, from that heavenly council-chamber,--for they sit in counsel regarding us,--that holy Scripture, descended to us by the ministry of angels, in which it is written, "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed," --this Scripture, this law, these precepts, have been confirmed by such miracles, that it is …

Quotes verse 22:20 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIX, Chapters 18–21)
But, not to speak of their character, it is written in the law of the true God, "He that sacrificeth unto any god save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed." He, therefore, who uttered so menacing a commandment decreed that no worship should be given either to good or bad gods.
