Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:
Estos son, pues, los Mandamientos, los Estatutos y las Ordenanzas que Yavé su ʼElohim ordenó que les enseñara para que los practiquen en la tierra a la cual pasan para poseerla,
2 So that living in the fear of the Lord your God, you may keep all his laws and his orders, which I give you: you and your son and your son's son, all the days of your life; and so that your life may be long.
a fin de que temas a Yavé tu ʼElohim, tú, tu hijo y tu nieto, y guarden todos los días de tu vida todos sus Estatutos y Mandamientos que yo te ordeno para que tus días sean prolongados.
3 So give ear, O Israel, and take care to do this; so that it may be well for you, and you may be greatly increased, as the Lord the God of your fathers has given you his word, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Oye pues, oh Israel, y cuidarás de hacerlo, como Yavé, el ʼElohim de tus antepasados, te habló para que te vaya bien y te multipliques muchísimo en la tierra que fluye leche y miel.
4 Give ear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord:
Oye, Israel: Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, Yavé es uno.
5 And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Amarás a Yavé tu ʼElohim con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu fuerza.
6 Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;
Estas palabras que te ordeno hoy permanecerán sobre tu corazón.
7 Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.
Las inculcarás a tus hijos y hablarás de ellas sentado en tu casa, cuando andes por el camino, al acostarte y al levantarte.
8 Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow;
Las atarás como señal sobre tu mano, y estarán como frontales entre tus ojos.
9 Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns.
Las escribirás en las jambas de tu casa y en tus puertas.
10 And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land which he gave his oath to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you; with great and fair towns which were not of your building;
Sucederá que cuando Yavé tu ʼElohim te introduzca en la tierra que juró a tus antepasados, a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob, que te daría una tierra que tiene grandes y espléndidas ciudades que tú no edificaste,
11 And houses full of good things not stored up by you, and places for storing water which you did not make, and vine-gardens and olive-trees not of your planting; and you have taken food and are full;
con casas llenas de todo bien que tú no llenaste, con pozos excavados que tú no cavaste, y con viñas y olivares que tú no plantaste, y comas y te hartes,
12 Then take care that you keep your hearts true to the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
guárdate de olvidar a Yavé Quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud.
13 Let the fear of the Lord your God be in your hearts, and be his servants, taking your oaths by his name.
Temerás a Yavé tu ʼElohim. A Él servirás y en su Nombre jurarás.
14 Do not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about you;
No seguirán otros ʼelohim, los ʼelohim de los pueblos que los rodean,
15 For the Lord your God who is with you is a God who will not let his honour be given to another; or the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, causing your destruction from the face of the earth.
porque Yavé tu ʼElohim, Quien mora en medio de ti, es celoso, no sea que el furor de Yavé tu ʼElohim se encienda contra ti y te destruya de sobre la superficie de la tierra.
16 Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did in Massah.
No tentarán a Yavé su ʼElohim, como lo tentaron en Masa.
17 Keep with care the orders of the Lord your God, and his rules and his laws which he has given you;
Guarden diligentemente los Mandamientos de Yavé su ʼElohim, sus Testimonios y sus Estatutos que les ordenó.
18 And do what is upright and good in the eyes of the Lord your God, so that it may be well for you and you may go in and take for your heritage that good land from which the Lord undertook by an oath to your fathers,
Harás lo recto y lo bueno ante Yavé para que te vaya bien, y entres y poseas la buena tierra que Yavé prometió con juramento a tus antepasados,
19 To send out from before you all those who are against you.
para que Él eche a todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, como Yavé prometió.
20 And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for these rules and laws and decisions which the Lord our God has given you?
Cuando tu hijo te pregunte mañana: ¿Qué significan los Testimonios, los Estatutos y las Ordenanzas que Yavé nuestro ʼElohim les ordenó?
21 Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:
Entonces dirás a tu hijo: Nosotros éramos esclavos de Faraón en Egipto, pero Yavé nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte.
22 And the Lord did great signs and wonders against Egypt, and against Pharaoh and all his house, before our eyes:
Ante nuestros propios ojos, Yavé hizo señales y grandes prodigios en Egipto contra Faraón y contra toda su casa,
23 And he took us out from that place, guiding us here to give us this land, as he said in his oath to our fathers.
y nos sacó de allá para traernos y darnos la tierra que prometió con juramento a nuestros antepasados.
24 And the Lord gave us orders to keep all these laws, in the fear of the Lord our God, so that it might be well for us for ever, and that he might keep us from death, as he has done to this day.
Yavé nos ordenó practicar todos estos Estatutos y temer a Yavé nuestro ʼElohim para que siempre nos vaya bien y para que nos conserve la vida, como sucede hoy.
25 And it will be our righteousness if we take care to keep all this order before the Lord our God as he has given it to us.
Será justicia para nosotros si tenemos el cuidado de cumplir todo este Mandamiento delante de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, tal como Él nos ordenó.
