WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 And these [are] the judgments which you set before them:
1 Y ESTOS son los derechos que les propondrás.
1 “Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
2 When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves [for] six years, and in the seventh he goes out as a freeman for nothing;
2 Si comprares siervo hebreo, seis años servirá; mas el séptimo saldrá horro de balde.
2 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
3 if he comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife has gone out with him;
3 Si entró solo, solo saldrá: si tenía mujer, saldrá él y su mujer con él.
3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 if his lord gives a wife to him, and she has borne sons or daughters to him—the wife and her children are her lord’s, and he goes out by himself.
4 Si su amo le hubiere dado mujer, y ella le hubiere parido hijos ó hijas, la mujer y sus hijos serán de su amo, y él saldrá solo.
4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
5 And if the servant really says: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do not go out free,
5 Y si el siervo dijere: Yo amo á mi señor, á mi mujer y á mis hijos, no saldré libre:
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’
6 then his lord has brought him near to God, and has brought him near to the door, or to the doorpost, and his lord has bored his ear with an awl, and he has served him for all time.
6 Entonces su amo lo hará llegar á los jueces, y harále llegar á la puerta ó al poste; y su amo le horadará la oreja con lesna, y será su siervo para siempre.
6 then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
7 And when a man sells his daughter for a handmaid, she does not go out according to the going out of the menservants;
7 Y cuando alguno vendiere su hija por sierva, no saldrá como suelen salir los siervos.
7 “If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
8 if [it is] evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he has not betrothed her, then he has let her be ransomed; he has no power to sell her to a strange people, in his dealing treacherously with her.
8 Si no agradare á su señor, por lo cual no la tomó por esposa, permitirle ha que se rescate, y no la podrá vender á pueblo extraño cuando la desechare.
8 If she doesn’t please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 And if he betroths her to his son, he does to her according to the right of daughters.
9 Mas si la hubiere desposado con su hijo, hará con ella según la costumbre de las hijas.
9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
10 If he takes another [woman] for him, he does not withdraw her food, her covering, and her habitation;
10 Si le tomare otra, no disminuirá su alimento, ni su vestido, ni el débito conyugal.
10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 and if he does not do these three for her, then she has gone out for nothing, without money.
11 Y si ninguna de estas tres cosas hiciere, ella saldrá de gracia sin dinero.
11 If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
12 He who strikes a man so that he has died is certainly put to death;
12 El que hiriere á alguno, haciéndole así morir, él morirá.
12 “One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
13 as for him who has not laid wait, but God has brought [him] to his hand, I have even set a place for you to where he flees.
13 Mas el que no armó asechanzas, sino que Dios [lo] puso en sus manos, entonces yo te señalaré lugar al cual ha de huir.
13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14 And when a man presumes against his neighbor to slay him with subtlety, you take him from My altar to die.
14 Además, si alguno se ensoberbeciere contra su prójimo, y lo matare con alevosía, de mi altar lo quitarás para que muera.
14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 And he who strikes his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
15 Y el que hiriere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
15 “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16 And he who steals a man, and has sold him, and he has been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.
16 Asimismo el que robare una persona, y la vendiere, ó se hallare en sus manos, morirá.
16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
17 Igualmente el que maldijere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.
17 “Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18 And when men contend, and a man has struck his neighbor with a stone, or with the fist, and he does not die, but has fallen on the bed;
18 Además, si algunos riñeren, y alguno hiriere á su prójimo con piedra ó con el puño, y no muriere, pero cayere en cama;
18 “If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t die, but is confined to bed;
19 if he rises, and has gone up and down outside on his staff, then the striker has been acquitted; he only gives [for] his cessation, and he is thoroughly healed.
19 Si se levantare y anduviere fuera sobre su báculo, entonces será el que le hirió absuelto: solamente le satisfará lo que estuvo parado, y hará que le curen.
19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.
20 And when a man strikes his manservant or his handmaid with a rod, and he has died under his hand—he is certainly avenged;
20 Y si alguno hiriere á su siervo ó á su sierva con palo, y muriere bajo de su mano, será castigado:
20 “If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.
21 only if he remains a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.
21 Mas si durare por un día ó dos, no será castigado, porque su dinero es.
21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
22 And when men strive, and have struck a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no harm [to them], he is certainly fined as the husband of the woman lays on him, and he has given through the judges;
22 Si algunos riñeren, é hiriesen á mujer preñada, y ésta abortare, pero sin haber muerte, será penado conforme á lo que le impusiere el marido de la mujer y juzgaren los árbitros.
22 “If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges allow.
23 and if there is harm [to them], then you have given life for life,
23 Mas si hubiere muerte, entonces pagarás vida por vida,
23 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
24 Ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
25 Quemadura por quemadura, herida por herida, golpe por golpe.
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
26 And when a man strikes the eye of his manservant, or the eye of his handmaid, and has destroyed it, he sends him away as a freeman for his eye;
26 Y cuando alguno hiriere el ojo de su siervo, ó el ojo de su sierva, y lo entortare, darále libertad por razón de su ojo.
26 “If a man strikes his servant’s eye, or his maid’s eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
27 and if he knocks out a tooth of his manservant or a tooth of his handmaid, he sends him away as a freeman for his tooth.
27 Y si sacare el diente de su siervo, ó el diente de su sierva, por su diente le dejará ir libre.
27 If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth, he shall let the servant go free for his tooth’s sake.
28 And when an ox gores man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;
28 Si un buey acorneare hombre ó mujer, y de resultas muriere, el buey será apedreado, y no se comerá su carne; mas el dueño del buey será absuelto.
28 “If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its meat shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
29 and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and it has been testified to its owner, and he does not watch it, and it has put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner is also put to death.
29 Pero si el buey era acorneador desde ayer y antes de ayer, y á su dueño le fué hecho requerimiento, y no lo hubiere guardado, y matare hombre ó mujer, el buey será apedreado, y también morirá su dueño.
29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and this has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.
30 If atonement is laid on him, then he has given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid on him;
30 Si le fuere impuesto rescate, entonces dará por el rescate de su persona cuanto le fuere impuesto.
30 If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31 whether it gores a son or gores a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.
31 Haya acorneado hijo, ó haya acorneado hija, conforme á este juicio se hará con él.
31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
32 If the ox gores a manservant or a handmaid, he gives thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox is stoned.
32 Si el buey acorneare siervo ó sierva, pagará treinta siclos de plata su señor, y el buey será apedreado.
32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 And when a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or donkey has fallen [in] there—
33 Y si alguno abriere hoyo, ó cavare cisterna, y no la cubriere, y cayere allí buey ó asno,
33 “If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
34 the owner of the pit repays, he gives back money to its owner, and the dead is his.
34 El dueño de la cisterna pagará el dinero, resarciendo á su dueño, y lo que fué muerto será suyo.
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
35 And when a man’s ox strikes the ox of his neighbor and it has died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and they also halve the dead one;
35 Y si el buey de alguno hiriere al buey de su prójimo, y éste muriere, entonces venderán el buey vivo, y partirán el dinero de él, y también partirán el muerto.
35 “If one man’s bull injures another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.
36 or, [if] it has been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and its owner does not watch it, he certainly repays ox for ox, and the dead is his.
36 Mas si era notorio que el buey era acorneador de ayer y antes de ayer, y su dueño no lo hubiere guardado, pagará buey por buey, y el muerto será suyo.
36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
For, "honor," saith He, "thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest live long upon the earth." And again, "He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death." But He, omitting the first, the reward appointed for them that honor their parents, states that which is more awful, the punishment, I mean, threatened to such as dishonor them; …

… put no obstacle to godliness in our way, if we are ever carried away by ingratitude, and, forgetting their benefits to us, hold them in contempt, then the oracle will have place which says, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
