Éxodo 23
Riveduta 1927
1Non spargere alcuna voce calunniosa e non tener di mano all’empio nell’attestare il falso.
2Non andar dietro alla folla per fare il male; e non deporre in giudizio schierandoti dalla parte dei più per pervertire la giustizia.
3Parimente non favorire il povero nel suo processo.
4Se incontri il bue del tuo nemico o il suo asino smarrito, non mancare di ricondurglielo.
5Se vedi l’asino di colui che t’odia steso a terra sotto il carico, guardati bene dall’abbandonarlo, ma aiuta il suo padrone a scaricarlo.
6Non violare il diritto del povero del tuo popolo nel suo processo.
7Rifuggi da ogni parola bugiarda; e non far morire l’innocente e il giusto; perché io non assolverò il malvagio
8Non accettar presenti; perché il presente acceca quelli che ci veggon chiaro, e perverte le parole dei giusti.
9Non opprimere lo straniero; voi lo conoscete l’animo dello straniero, giacché siete stati stranieri nel paese d’Egitto.
10Per sei anni seminerai la tua terra e ne raccoglierai i frutti;
11ma il settimo anno la lascerai riposare e rimanere incolta; i poveri del tuo popolo ne godranno, e le bestie della campagna mangeranno quel che rimarrà. Lo stesso farai della tua vigna e de’ tuoi ulivi.
12Per sei giorni farai il tuo lavoro; ma il settimo giorno ti riposerai, affinché il tuo bue e il tuo asino possano riposarsi, e il figliuolo della tua serva e il forestiero possano riprender fiato.
13Porrete ben mente a tutte le cose che io vi ho dette, e non pronunzierete il nome di dèi stranieri: non lo si oda uscire dalla vostra bocca.
14Tre volte all’anno mi celebrerai una festa.
15Osserverai la festa degli azzimi. Per sette giorni mangerai pane senza lievito, come te l’ho ordinato, al tempo stabilito del mese di Abib, perché in quel mese tu uscisti dal paese d’Egitto; e nessuno comparirà dinanzi a me a mani vuote.
16Osserverai la festa della mietitura, delle primizie del tuo lavoro, di quello che avrai seminato nei campi; e la festa della raccolta, alla fine dell’anno, quando avrai raccolto dai campi i frutti del tuo lavoro.
17Tre volte all’anno tutti i maschi compariranno davanti al Signore, l’Eterno.
18Non offrirai il sangue della mia vittima insieme con pane lievitato; e il grasso dei sacrifizi della mia festa non sarà serbato durante la notte fino al mattino.
19Porterai alla casa dell’Eterno, ch’è il tuo Dio, le primizie de’ primi frutti della terra. Non farai cuocere il capretto nel latte di sua madre.
20Ecco, io mando un angelo davanti a te per proteggerti per via, e per introdurti nel luogo che ho preparato.
21Sii guardingo in sua presenza, e ubbidisci alla sua voce; non ti ribellare a lui, perch’egli non perdonerà le vostre trasgressioni; poiché il mio nome è in lui.
22Ma se ubbidisci fedelmente alla sua voce e fai tutto quello che ti dirò, io sarò il nemico de’ tuoi nemici, l’avversario de’ tuoi avversari;
23poiché il mio angelo andrà innanzi a te e t’introdurrà nel paese degli Amorei, degli Hittei, dei Ferezei, dei Cananei, degli Hivvei e dei Gebusei, e li sterminerò.
24Tu non ti prostrerai davanti ai loro dèi, e non servirai loro. Non farai quello ch’essi fanno; ma distruggerai interamente quegli dèi e spezzerai le loro colonne.
25Servirete all’Eterno, ch’è il vostro Dio, ed egli benedirà il tuo pane e la tua acqua; ed io allontanerò la malattia di mezzo a te.
26Nel tuo paese non ci sarà donna che abortisca, né donna sterile. Io farò completo il numero de’ tuoi giorni.
27Io manderò davanti a te il mio terrore, e metterò in rotta ogni popolo presso il quale arriverai, e farò voltar le spalle dinanzi a te a tutti i tuoi nemici.
28E manderò davanti a te i calabroni, che scacceranno gli Hivvei, i Cananei e gli Hittei dal tuo cospetto.
29Non li scaccerò dal tuo cospetto in un anno, affinché il paese non diventi un deserto, e le bestie de’ campi non si moltiplichino contro di te.
30Li scaccerò dal tuo cospetto a poco a poco, finché tu cresca di numero e possa prender possesso del paese.
31E fisserò i tuoi confini dal mar Rosso al mar de’ Filistei, e dal deserto sino al fiume; poiché io vi darò nelle mani gli abitanti del paese; e tu li scaccerai d’innanzi a te.
32Non farai alleanza di sorta con loro, né coi loro dèi.
33Non dovranno abitare nel tuo paese, perché non t’inducano a peccare contro di me: tu serviresti ai loro dèi, e questo ti sarebbe un 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.

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.”
