Éxodo 23

Diodati 1885

1NON levare un falso grido; non metter mano con l'empio per esser testimonio falso.

2Non andar dietro a' grandi per far male; e non dar sentenza in una lite, inchinando a favorire i grandi, per far torto.

3Non avere altresì rispetto al povero nella sua lite.

4Se tu incontri il bue del tuo nemico, o l'asino suo smarrito, del tutto riconduciglielo.

5Se tu vedi l'asino di colui che ti odia giacer sotto il suo carico, mentre tu ti rimani di aiutarlo a farglielo andare oltre, del tutto fa' con lui sì che possa andare oltre.

6Non far torto al tuo bisognoso nella sua lite.

7Allontanati dal parlar falso; e non far morir l'innocente nè il giusto; perciocchè io non assolverò l'empio.

8E non prender presenti; perciocchè il presente accieca coloro che hanno chiara vista, e sovverte le parole de' giusti.

9E non oppressare il forestiere; perciocchè voi sapete in quale stato è l'anima del forestiere, essendo stati forestieri nel paese di Egitto.

10Semina la tua terra sei anni, e ricogli il frutto di essa.

11Ma ogni settimo anno lasciala vacare, e in abbandono, e mangino i bisognosi del tuo popolo il frutto di essa; e ciò che rimarrà loro, manginlo le bestie della campagna; fa' il simigliante alla tua vigna ed a' tuoi ulivi.

12Sei giorni fa' le tue faccende; ma al settimo giorno riposati; acciocchè il tuo bue, e il tuo asino, abbiano requie; e il figliuolo della tua serva, e il forestiere possano respirare.

13E prendete guardia a tutto quello che io vi ho detto; e non ricordate il nome degl'iddii stranieri; non odasi quello nella tua bocca.

14Celebrami tre feste solenni per anno.

15Osserva la festa degli azzimi; mangia pani azzimi per sette giorni, come io ti ho comandato, nel tempo ordinato del mese di Abib; conciossiachè in quel mese tu sii uscito fuori di Egitto; e non comparisca alcuno davanti alla mia faccia vuoto.

16Parimente osserva la festa della mietitura, delle primizie de' tuoi frutti, di ciò che tu avrai seminato nel tuo campo; e la festa della ricolta, all'uscita dell'anno, quando tu avrai ricolti i tuoi frutti d'in sui campi.

17Tre volte l'anno comparisca ogni maschio tuo davanti alla faccia del Signore, ch'è l'Eterno.

18Non sacrificare il sangue del mio sacrificio con pan lievitato; e non sia guardato il grasso dell'agnello della mia solennità la notte fino alla mattina.

19Porta nella Casa del Signore Iddio tuo le primizie de' primi frutti della tua terra. Non cuocere il capretto nel latte di sua madre.

20ECCO, io mando un Angelo davanti a te, per guardarti per lo cammino, e per condurti al luogo che io ho preparato.

21Guardati, per la sua presenza, e ubbidisci alla sua voce, e non irritarlo; perciocchè egli non vi perdonerà i vostri misfatti; conciossiachè il mio Nome sia in lui.

22Ma se pure tu ubbidisci alla sua voce, e fai tutto quello che io ti dirò, io sarò nemico de' tuoi nemici, e avversario dei tuoi avversari.

23Perciocchè l'Angelo mio andrà davanti a te, e t'introdurrà nel paese degli Amorrei, degl'Hittei, dei Ferezei, de' Cananei, degl'Hivvei, a dei Gebusei; ed io distruggerò que' popoli.

24Non adorar gl'iddii loro, e non servir loro; e non far secondo l'opere di quei popoli; anzi distruggi quelli affatto, e del tutto spezza le loro statue.

25E servite al Signore Iddio vostro, ed egli benedirà il tuo pane, e la tua acqua; ed io torrò via ogni infermità dal mezzo di te.

26E' non vi sarà nel tuo paese femmina che sperda, nè sterile; io compierò il numero de' tuoi giorni.

27Io manderò davanti a te il mio spavento, e metterò in rotta ogni popolo, nel cui paese tu entrerai, e farò che tutti i tuoi nemici volteran le spalle dinanzi a te.

28Manderò eziandio davanti a te de' calabroni, i quali scacceranno gl'Hivvei, i Cananei, e gl'Hittei dal tuo cospetto.

29Io non li scaccerò dal tuo cospetto in un anno; che talora il paese non divenga deserto, e che le fiere della campagna non moltiplichino contro a te.

30Io li scaccerò dal tuo cospetto a poco a poco, finchè tu sii cresciuto, e abbi presa la possessione del paese.

31E io porrò i tuoi confini dal mar rosso fino al mar de' Filistei; e dal deserto fino al Fiume; perciocchè io darò nelle vostre mani gli abitanti del paese, e tu li scaccerai dinanzi a te.

32Non far lega alcuna con loro, nè co' loro iddii.

33Non abitino essi nel tuo paese, chè talora non ti facciano peccare contro a me; conciossiachè tu serviresti agl'iddii loro; perciocchè quello ti sarebbe in laccio.

Reina-Valera 1909

1NO admitirás falso rumor. No te concertarás con el impío para ser testigo falso.

2No seguirás á los muchos para mal hacer; ni responderás en litigio inclinándote á los más para hacer agravios;

3Ni al pobre distinguirás en su causa.

4Si encontrares el buey de tu enemigo ó su asno extraviado, vuelve á llevárselo.

5Si vieres el asno del que te aborrece caído debajo de su carga, ¿le dejarás entonces desamparado? Sin falta ayudarás con él á levantarlo.

6No pervertirás el derecho de tu mendigo en su pleito.

7De palabra de mentira te alejarás, y no matarás al inocente y justo; porque yo no justificaré al impío.

8No recibirás presente; porque el presente ciega á los que ven, y pervierte las palabras justas.

9Y no angustiarás al extranjero: pues vosotros sabéis cómo se halla el alma del extranjero, ya que extranjeros fuisteis en la tierra de Egipto.

10Seis años sembrarás tu tierra, y allegarás su cosecha:

11Mas el séptimo la dejarás vacante y soltarás, para que coman los pobres de tu pueblo; y de lo que quedare comerán las bestias del campo; así harás de tu viña y de tu olivar.

12Seis días harás tus negocios, y al séptimo día holgarás, á fin que descanse tu buey y tu asno, y tome refrigerio el hijo de tu sierva, y el extranjero.

13Y en todo lo que os he dicho seréis avisados. Y nombre de otros dioses no mentaréis, ni se oirá de vuestra boca.

14Tres veces en el año me celebraréis fiesta.

15La fiesta de los ázimos guardarás: siete días comerás los panes sin levadura, como yo te mandé, en el tiempo del mes de Abib; porque en él saliste de Egipto: y ninguno comparecerá vacío delante de mí:

16También la fiesta de la siega, los primeros frutos de tus labores que hubieres sembrado en el campo; y la fiesta de la cosecha á la salida del año, cuando habrás recogido tus labores del campo.

17Tres veces en el año parecerá todo varón tuyo delante del Señor Jehová.

18No ofrecerás con pan leudo la sangre de mi sacrificio; ni el sebo de mi víctima quedará de la noche hasta la mañana.

19Las primicias de los primeros frutos de tu tierra traerás á la casa de Jehová tu Dios. No guisarás el cabrito con la leche de su madre.

20He aquí yo envío el Angel delante de ti para que te guarde en el camino, y te introduzca en el lugar que yo he preparado.

21Guárdate delante de él, y oye su voz; no le seas rebelde; porque él no perdonará vuestra rebelión: porque mi nombre está en él.

22Pero si en verdad oyeres su voz, é hicieres todo lo que yo te dijere, seré enemigo á tus enemigos, y afligiré á los que te afligieren.

23Porque mi Angel irá delante de ti, y te introducirá al Amorrheo, y al Hetheo, y al Pherezeo, y al Cananeo, y al Heveo, y al Jebuseo, á los cuales yo haré destruir.

24No te inclinarás á sus dioses, ni los servirás, ni harás como ellos hacen; antes los destruirás del todo, y quebrantarás enteramente sus estatuas.

25Mas á Jehová vuestro Dios serviréis, y él bendecirá tu pan y tus aguas; y yo quitaré toda enfermedad de en medio de ti.

26No habrá mujer que aborte, ni estéril en tu tierra; y yo cumpliré el número de tus días.

27Yo enviaré mi terror delante de ti, y consternaré á todo pueblo donde tú entrares, y te daré la cerviz de todos tus enemigos.

28Yo enviaré la avispa delante de ti, que eche fuera al Heveo, y al Cananeo, y al Hetheo, de delante de ti:

29No los echaré de delante de ti en un año, porque no quede la tierra desierta, y se aumenten contra ti las bestias del campo.

30Poco á poco los echaré de delante de ti, hasta que te multipliques y tomes la tierra por heredad.

31Y yo pondré tu término desde el mar Bermejo hasta la mar de Palestina, y desde el desierto hasta el río: porque pondré en vuestras manos los moradores de la tierra, y tú los echarás de delante de ti.

32No harás alianza con ellos, ni con sus dioses.

33En tu tierra no habitarán, no sea que te hagan pecar contra mí sirviendo á sus dioses: porque te será de tropiezo.

King James Version

1Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

3Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

4If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

5If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

6Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

7Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

11But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

12Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

13And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

14Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

15Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

16And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

17Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

18Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

19The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

20Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

22But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

23For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

25And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

26There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

27I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

28And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

29I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

31And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

23For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

25You shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.

26No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

29I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.

30Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.

31I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

32You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
