La Biblia Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Si uno se casa con una mujer y luego no le gusta, porque descubre en ella algo vergonzoso, y le escribe el acta de divorcio, se la entrega y la echa de casa,1 "When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a bill of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house,
2 y ella sale de la casa, va y se casa con otro,2 and if she goes and becomes another man's wife,
3 y el segundo también la aborrece, le escribe el acta de divorcio, se la entrega y la echa de casa, o bien muere el segundo marido3 and the latter husband dislikes her and writes her a bill of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife,
4 el primer marido, que la despidió, no podrá casarse otra vez con ella, porque ha quedado impura; sería una abominación ante el Señor; no eches un pecado sobre la tierra que el Señor, tu Dios, va a darte en heredad.4 then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring guilt upon the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
5 Si uno es recién casado, no está obligado al servicio militar ni a otros trabajos públicos; quedará libre en su casa durante un año, para disfrutar de la mujer con quien se ha casado.5 "When a man is newly married, he shall not go out with the army or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, to be happy with his wife whom he has taken.
6 No tomarás en prenda las dos piedras de un molino, ni siquiera la muela, porque sería tomar en prenda una vida.6 "No man shall take a mill or an upper millstone in pledge; for he would be taking a life in pledge.
7 Si descubren que uno ha secuestrado a un hermano suyo de los hijos de Israel, para explotarlo o venderlo, el secuestrador morirá. Así extirparás el mal de en medio de ti.7 "If a man is found stealing one of his brethren, the people of Israel, and if he treats him as a slave or sells him, then that thief shall die; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.
8 Tened cuidado con las afecciones de la piel, observando y cumpliendo todo lo que os enseñen los sacerdotes levitas. Observad y cumplid lo que yo les he mandado.8 "Take heed, in an attack of leprosy, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you; as I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do.
9 Recuerda lo que hizo el Señor, tu Dios, a María cuando salisteis de Egipto.9 Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the way as you came forth out of Egypt.
10 Si haces un préstamo cualquiera a tu hermano, no entres en su casa a recobrar la prenda;10 "When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 espera afuera, y el prestatario saldrá a devolverte la prenda.11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you.
12 Y, si es pobre, no te acostarás sobre la prenda;12 And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep in his pledge;
13 se la devolverás a la caída del sol y así él se acostará sobre su manto y te bendecirá, y tuyo será el mérito ante el Señor, tu Dios.13 when the sun goes down, you shall restore to him the pledge that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God.
14 No explotarás al jornalero, pobre y necesitado, sea hermano tuyo o emigrante que vive en tu tierra, en tu ciudad;14 "You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brethren or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns;
15 cada jornada le darás su jornal, antes que el sol se ponga, porque pasa necesidad y está pendiente del salario. Así no gritará contra ti al Señor y no incurrirás en pecado.15 you shall give him his hire on the day he earns it, before the sun goes down (for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it); lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin in you.
16 No serán ejecutados los padres por culpas de los hijos, ni los hijos por culpas de los padres; cada uno será ejecutado por su propio pecado.16 "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 No defraudarás el derecho del emigrante y del huérfano ni tomarás en prenda las ropas de la viuda;17 "You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, or take a widow's garment in pledge;
18 recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto y que de allí te rescató el Señor, tu Dios; por eso yo te mando hoy cumplir esto.18 but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this.
19 Cuando siegues la mies de tu campo y olvides en el suelo una gavilla, no vuelvas a recogerla; déjasela al emigrante, al huérfano y a la viuda, y así bendecirá el Señor todas tus tareas.19 "When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 Cuando varees tu olivar, no repases las ramas; déjaselas al emigrante, al huérfano y a la viuda.20 When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.
21 Cuando vendimies tu viña, no rebusques los racimos; déjaselos al emigrante, al huérfano y a la viuda.21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.
22 Acuérdate de que fuiste esclavo en Egipto; por eso yo te mando hoy cumplir esto.22 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this.
