1 ¶ Cuando alguno tomare mujer y se casare con ella, si después no le agradare por haber hallado en ella alguna cosa torpe, le escribirá carta de repudio, y se la entregará en su mano, y la despedirá de su casa.

When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

2 Y salida de su casa, podrá ir y casarse con otro varón.

When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

3 Y si la aborreciere el postrer varón, y le escribiere carta de repudio, y se la entregare en su mano, y la despidiere de su casa; o si muriere el postrer varón que la tomó para sí por mujer,

If the latter husband hates her, and write her a bill of divorce, and puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife;

4 n o podrá su primer marido, que la despidió, volverla a tomar para que sea su mujer, después que fue inmunda; porque es abominación delante del SEÑOR, y no harás que la tierra peque que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da por heredad.

her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

5 ¶ Cuando tomare alguno mujer nueva, no saldrá a la guerra, ni en ninguna cosa se le ocupará; libre estará en su casa por un año, para alegrar a la mujer que tomó.

When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

6 N o tomarás en prenda la muela de molino, ni la de abajo ni la de arriba, porque sería prendar la vida.

No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge; for he takes a life in pledge.

7 C uando fuere hallado alguno que haya secuestrado persona de sus hermanos los hijos de Israel, y hubiere mercadeado con ella, o la hubiere vendido, el tal ladrón morirá, y quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.

If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him; then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

8 G uárdate de llaga de lepra, guardando diligentemente, y haciendo según todo lo que os enseñaren los sacerdotes levitas; cuidaréis de hacer como les he mandado.

Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.

9 A cuérdate de lo que hizo el SEÑOR tu Dios a María en el camino, después que salisteis de Egipto.

Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt.

10 C uando dieres a tu prójimo alguna cosa prestada, no entrarás en su casa para tomarle prenda.

When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

11 F uera estarás, y el hombre a quien prestaste, te sacará afuera la prenda.

You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.

12 Y si fuere hombre pobre, no duermas con su prenda.

If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

13 S in falta le devolverás la prenda cuando el sol se ponga, para que duerma en su ropa, y te bendiga; y te será justicia delante del SEÑOR tu Dios.

You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God.

14 ¶ No hagas violencia al jornalero pobre y menesteroso, así de tus hermanos como de tus extranjeros que están en tu tierra en tus ciudades.

You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers, or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.

15 E n su día le darás su jornal, y el sol no se pondrá sobre él; pues es pobre, y con él sustenta su vida; para que no clame contra ti al SEÑOR, y sea en ti pecado.

In his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his heart on it; lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.

16 L os padres no morirán por los hijos, ni los hijos por los padres; cada uno morirá por su pecado.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

17 N o torcerás el derecho del extranjero ni del huérfano; ni tomarás por prenda la ropa de la viuda;

You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;

18 m as acuérdate que fuiste esclavo en Egipto, y de allí te rescató el SEÑOR tu Dios; por tanto, yo te mando que hagas esto.

but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.

19 C uando segares tu mies en tu tierra, y olvidares alguna gavilla en el campo, no volverás a tomarla; del extranjero, o del huérfano, o de la viuda será; para que te bendiga el SEÑOR tu Dios en toda obra de tus manos.

When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

20 C uando sacudieres tus olivas, no recorrerás las ramas tras ti; del extranjero, del huérfano, y de la viuda será.

When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

21 C uando vendimiares tu viña, no rebuscarás tras ti; del extranjero, del huérfano, y de la viuda será.

When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

22 Y acuérdate que fuiste esclavo en tierra de Egipto; por tanto, yo te mando que hagas esto.

You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
