Deuteronomy 10
1 “At that time, the Lord said to me: ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone, like those that were before, and ascend to me on the mountain. And you shall make an ark of wood.
En aquel tiempo Yavé me dijo: Lábrate dos tablas de piedra como las primeras y sube a Mí a la Montaña. Y hazte un arca de madera.
2 And I will write on the tablets the words which were on those that you broke before, and you shall place them in the ark.’
Yo escribiré sobre esas tablas las Palabras que había sobre las primeras tablas que quebraste, y las pondrás en el arca.
3 And so, I made an ark of setim wood. And when I had hewn two tablets of stone like the former, I ascended onto the mountain, having them in my hands.
Entonces hice un arca de madera de acacia. Labré dos tablas de piedra como las primeras y subí a la Montaña con las dos tablas en mi mano.
4 And he wrote on the tablets, according to that which he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of fire, when the people were assembled. And he gave them to me.
Él escribió sobre las tablas, conforme a la primera escritura, los Diez Mandamientos que Yavé les habló en la Montaña, desde en medio del fuego, el día de la asamblea. Y Yavé me las entregó.
5 And returning from the mountain, I descended and placed the tablets in the ark, which I had made, and they are still there even now, just as the Lord instructed me.
Di vuelta, bajé de la Montaña y puse las tablas que hizo en el arca. Y allí están, como me ordenó Yavé.
6 Then the sons of Israel moved their camp, from Beeroth among the sons of Jaakan, into Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and where his son Eleazar was installed in the priesthood in his place.
Después los hijos de Israel salieron desde los pozos de Bené Jaacán hacia Moserá. Allí murió Aarón y allí fue sepultado. Eleazar su hijo fue constituido sumo sacerdote en lugar de él.
7 From there, they went into Gudgodah. From that place, they set out and camped at Jotbathah, in a land of waters and torrents.
De allí salieron a Gudgoda, y de Gudgoda a Jotbatá, tierra de torrentes de agua.
8 At that time, he separated the tribe of Levi, so that he would carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and stand before him in the ministry, and speak blessings in his name, even to the present day.
En aquel tiempo Yavé separó a la tribu de Leví para transportar el Arca del Pacto de Yavé, a fin de que estuviera delante de Yavé para ministrarle y bendecir en su Nombre hasta hoy,
9 As a result, Levi has no portion or possession with his brothers. For the Lord himself is his possession, just as the Lord your God promised him.
por lo cual Leví no tuvo parte ni herencia con sus hermanos. Yavé es su herencia, como Yavé tu ʼElohim le prometió.
10 Then I stood on the mountain, as before, for forty days and nights. And the Lord heeded me at this time also, and he was not willing to destroy you.
En cuanto a mí, permanecí en la Montaña 40 días y 40 noches como los primeros días. También esta vez Yavé me escuchó y desistió de destruirte.
11 And he said to me: ‘Go forth and walk before the people, so that they may enter and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver to them.’
Y Yavé me dijo: ¡Levántate! Anda, para que marches delante del pueblo con el fin de que entren y posean la tierra de la cual juré dársela a sus antepasados.
12 And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only that you fear the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul,
Y ahora, Israel, ¿qué te pide Yavé tu ʼElohim? Solo que temas a Yavé tu ʼElohim, que andes en todos sus caminos, que lo ames y sirvas a Yavé tu ʼElohim con todo tu corazón y toda tu alma,
13 and that you keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I am instructing to you this day, so that it may be well with you.
y que guardes los Mandamientos de Yavé y sus Estatutos que te prescribo hoy para tu bien.
14 Lo, heaven belongs to the Lord your God, and the heaven of heaven, and the earth, and all the things that are within these.
Ciertamente a Yavé tu ʼElohim pertenecen el cielo y los más altos cielos, y la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella.
15 Now the Lord was closely joined to your fathers, and he loved them, and he chose their offspring after them, that is, you yourselves, out of all the nations, just as is being proven today.
Pero Yavé solo se agradó de tus antepasados para amarlos, y escogió de entre todos los pueblos a su descendencia, a ustedes, como ven hoy.
16 Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and no longer stiffen your neck.
Circunciden, pues, el prepucio de su corazón y no sean indómitos.
17 For the Lord your God himself is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a God great and powerful and terrible, who favors no person and accepts no bribe.
Porque Yavé su ʼElohim es el ʼElohim de ʼelohim y ʼAdón de ʼadón, ʼEL grande, poderoso y temible, Quien no muestra parcialidad ni admite soborno,
18 He accomplishes judgment for the orphan and the widow. He loves the sojourner, and he gives him food as well as clothing.
que hace justicia al huérfano y a la viuda, y ama al extranjero y le da pan y ropa.
19 Therefore, you also should love sojourners, for you also were new arrivals in the land of Egypt.
Por tanto, amarán al extranjero, porque ustedes fueron extranjeros en la tierra de Egipto.
20 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
Temerás a Yavé tu ʼElohim. A Él servirás, a Él te aferrarás y por su Nombre jurarás.
21 He is your praise and your God. He has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.
Él es tu alabanza. Él es tu ʼElohim, Quien hizo para ti estas cosas grandes y portentosas que vieron tus ojos.
22 As seventy souls, your fathers descended into Egypt. And now, behold, the Lord your God has multiplied you to be like the stars of heaven.”
Con 70 personas descendieron tus antepasados a Egipto, y ahora Yavé tu ʼElohim te hizo tan numeroso como las estrellas del cielo.
