Deuteronomy 6
1 These are the commandments and rules and regulations that the Lord your God has ordered me to teach you to follow in the country that you're going to enter and occupy.
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 This is so you and your children and grandchildren will show respect to the Lord your God throughout your lives by keeping all his rules and regulations that I give you, and so that you may have a long life.
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 Listen, people of Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may do well and have many descendants in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, promised you.
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 Listen, people of Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is the only one.
Oye, Israel: Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, Yavé es uno.
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your being and with all your strength.
Amarás a Yavé tu ʼElohim con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu fuerza.
6 The commands I'm giving you today must stay in your minds.
Estas palabras que te ordeno hoy permanecerán sobre tu corazón.
7 You are to explain them carefully to your children and talk about them when you're at home and when you're traveling, when you lie down 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 Tie them on your hands as reminders and put them on your foreheads as well.
Las atarás como señal sobre tu mano, y estarán como frontales entre tus ojos.
9 Write them on the doorposts of your homes and on your gates.
Las escribirás en las jambas de tu casa y en tus puertas.
10 The Lord your God is going to take you into the country he promised to give you and your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It's a country with large, prosperous towns that you didn't build,
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 with houses full of plenty of good things that you didn't provide, that have wells you didn't dig, and vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant. When you eat 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 make sure you don't forget the Lord who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
guárdate de olvidar a Yavé Quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud.
13 Respect the Lord your God only worship him, and only make promises in his name.
Temerás a Yavé tu ʼElohim. A Él servirás y en su Nombre jurarás.
14 Don't worship any other gods, the gods of the peoples around you,
No seguirán otros ʼelohim, los ʼelohim de los pueblos que los rodean,
15 because the Lord your God, who lives among you, is an exclusive God, and Lord your God will become angry with you, and he will wipe you out.
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 Don't test the Lord your God like you did at Massah.
No tentarán a Yavé su ʼElohim, como lo tentaron en Masa.
17 You must be careful to keep the commandments of the Lord your God and the laws and rules he's given you.
Guarden diligentemente los Mandamientos de Yavé su ʼElohim, sus Testimonios y sus Estatutos que les ordenó.
18 Do what's good and right in the Lord's sight so that it will go well for you and that you may enter and take over the good land that the Lord your God promised to give your forefathers,
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 He will drive out all your enemies ahead of you, just as he said.
para que Él eche a todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, como Yavé prometió.
20 In the future, when your children come and ask you, “What's the point of decrees and rules and regulations that the Lord our God ordered you to follow?”
Cuando tu hijo te pregunte mañana: ¿Qué significan los Testimonios, los Estatutos y las Ordenanzas que Yavé nuestro ʼElohim les ordenó?
21 then you are to tell them, “Once we were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord by his power led us out of Egypt.
Entonces dirás a tu hijo: Nosotros éramos esclavos de Faraón en Egipto, pero Yavé nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte.
22 Before our very eyes the Lord brought down incredible and terrifying signs and miracles on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his people.
Ante nuestros propios ojos, Yavé hizo señales y grandes prodigios en Egipto contra Faraón y contra toda su casa,
23 But he led us out of there to take us here, giving us this country that he had promised to our forefathers.
y nos sacó de allá para traernos y darnos la tierra que prometió con juramento a nuestros antepasados.
24 The Lord ordered us to keep all these laws and to respect the Lord our God, so that we would always be safe and well, as we are today
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 if we carefully observe each of these commandments as we live in the presence of the Lord, as he instructed us, then we will be right with him.”
Será justicia para nosotros si tenemos el cuidado de cumplir todo este Mandamiento delante de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, tal como Él nos ordenó.
