| 1 Nadie tomará a la mujer de su padre, ni abrirá el lecho de su padre. | 1 “A eunuch, one whose testicles have been debilitated or cut off, or whose penis has been cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord. |
| 2 No se admitirá a la asamblea del Señor a quien tenga los testículos aplastados o el pene mutilado. | 2 The offspring of a harlot, that is, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation. |
| 3 No se admitirá a la asamblea del Señor ningún bastardo; ni siquiera su décima generación será admitida en la asamblea del Señor. | 3 The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation, shall not enter into the church of the Lord forever, |
| 4 No se admite a la asamblea del Señor ningún amonita ni moabita; ni siquiera en su décima generación serán admitidos a la asamblea del Señor. | 4 because they were not willing to meet you with bread and water along the way, when you had departed from Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam, the son of Beor, from Mesopotamia in Syria, in order to curse you. |
| 5 Porque no vinieron con pan y agua a vuestro encuentro en el camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto y porque alquilaron a Balaán, hijo de Beor, de Petor en Mesopotamia, para maldecirte. | 5 But the Lord your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he turned his cursing into your blessing, because he loves you. |
| 6 Pero el Señor, tu Dios, no quiso escuchar a Balaán; el Señor, tu Dios, cambió la maldición en bendición, porque te ama el Señor, tu Dios. | 6 You shall not make peace with them, nor shall you seek their prosperity, throughout all the days of your life forever. |
| 7 No buscarás jamás su paz ni su bienestar mientras vivas. | 7 You shall not abhor anyone from Idumea, for he is your brother, nor the Egyptian, for you were a new arrival in his land. |
| 8 No considerarás abominable al edomita, porque es hermano tuyo. No considerarás abominable al egipcio, porque fuiste emigrante en su país. | 8 Those who have been born of them, in the third generation, shall enter into the church of the Lord. |
| 9 Sus descendientes en la tercera generación serán admitidos a la asamblea del Señor. | 9 When you have gone out to war against your enemies, you shall keep yourself from everything that is evil. |
| 10 Cuando salgas a campaña contra tus enemigos, cuídate de cualquier acto malo. | 10 If there is a man among you who has been defiled by a dream in the night, he shall depart from the camp. |
| 11 Si hay alguien entre los tuyos que, por polución nocturna, no está puro, saldrá fuera del campamento y no volverá a entrar en el campamento | 11 And he shall not return before the evening, after he has washed with water, and then, after the sun sets, he shall return to the camp. |
| 12 hasta que, al caer la tarde, se lave con agua; y así, al ponerse el sol, volverá al campamento. | 12 You shall have a place beyond the camp to which you may go for the necessities of nature, |
| 13 Tendrás fuera del campamento un rincón donde puedas retirarte. | 13 carrying a small shovel at your belt. And when you would sit down, you shall dig around, and then, with the soil that was dug up, you shall cover |
| 14 Llevarás en tu equipaje una estaca, y cuando salgas a hacer tus necesidades, harás con ella un hoyo y luego taparás los excrementos. | 14 that from which you were relieved. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, in order to rescue you, and to deliver your enemies to you. And so, let your camp be holy, and let nothing filthy appear within it, lest he abandon you. |
| 15 Porque el Señor, tu Dios, se pasea en medio de tu campamento para protegerte y entregarte el enemigo, tu campamento debe ser santo; que él no vea en ti nada indecoroso y no se aparte de ti. | 15 You shall not deliver a servant who has fled to you to his master. |
| 16 No entregarás a su amo un esclavo que escapa de su amo junto a ti. | 16 He shall live with you in a place that pleases him, and he shall rest in one of your cities. You shall not grieve him. |
| 17 Se quedará contigo, entre los tuyos, en el lugar que elija en una de tus ciudades, donde mejor le parezca. No lo maltrates. | 17 There shall be no prostitutes among the daughters of Israel, nor anyone among the sons of Israel who visits a prostitute. |
| 18 No habrá prostitutas sagradas entre las hijas de Israel, ni prostitutos sagrados entre los hijos de Israel. | 18 You shall not offer money from a prostitute, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord your God, no matter what you may have vowed. For both of these are an abomination with the Lord your God. |
| 19 No llevarás a la casa del Señor, en cumplimiento de un voto, paga de prostituta ni dinero de prostituto, porque ambos son una abominación para el Señor, tu Dios. | 19 You shall not lend money, or grain, or anything else at all, to your brother at interest, |
| 20 No cobrarás intereses a tu hermano: ni sobre el dinero prestado, ni sobre los alimentos prestados, ni sobre cualquier préstamo que produzca intereses. | 20 but only to a foreigner. For you shall lend to your brother whatever he needs without interest, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works in the land, which you shall enter so as to possess it. |
| 21 Podrás cobrar intereses a los extranjeros, pero a tu hermano no le cobrarás intereses, para que te bendiga el Señor, tu Dios, en todas tus empresas en la tierra adonde vas para tomarla en posesión. | 21 When you have made a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not be late in paying it. For the Lord your God demands it. And if you delay, it shall be imputed to you as a sin. |
| 22 Si haces un voto al Señor tu Dios, no tardarás en cumplirlo, porque el Señor, tu Dios, te lo reclamará e incurrirás en pecado, | 22 If you are not willing to make a promise, then it shall be without sin. |
| 23 pero si te abstienes de hacer un voto, no incurrirás en pecado. | 23 But as soon as it has departed from your lips, you shall observe and do just as you have promised to the Lord your God and just as you have spoken by your own free will and with your own mouth. |
| 24 Lo que salga de tus labios, mantenlo y cumple el voto que has hecho espontáneamente al Señor, tu Dios, que con tu boca has prometido. | 24 Upon entering your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you please. But you may not carry any out with you. |
| 25 Si entras en la viña de tu prójimo, come las uvas que quieras, hasta saciarte, pero no metas nada en tu cesta. | 25 If you enter into your friend’s grain field, you may break off the ears, and rub them in your hand, but you may not reap them with a sickle.” |
| 26 Si entras en la mies de tu prójimo, arranca espigas con tu mano, pero no metas la hoz en la mies de tu prójimo. | |
