Deuteronomy 6
1 And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit it.
Estos son los mandamientos, los estatutos y los decretos que Yahvé, tu Dios, te ha mandado enseñar, para que los pongas en práctica en la tierra que vas a poseer;
2 That you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.
para que temas a Yahvé, tu Dios, y guardes todos sus estatutos y sus mandamientos, que yo te mando a ti, a tu hijo y al hijo de tu hijo, todos los días de tu vida, y para que tus días se prolonguen.
3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
Escucha, pues, Israel, y procura ponerlo por obra, para que te vaya bien y te multipliques, como Yahvé, el Dios de tus padres, te ha prometido, en una tierra que mana leche y miel.
4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.
Escucha, Israel: Yahvé es nuestro Dios. Yahvé es uno.
5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.
Amarás a Yahvé vuestro Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con todas tus fuerzas.
6 And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.
Estas palabras que hoy te ordeno estarán en tu corazón;
7 And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
y las enseñarás con diligencia a tus hijos, y hablarás de ellas cuando te sientes en tu casa, cuando andes por el camino, cuando te acuestes y cuando te levantes.
8 And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.
Las atarás como señal en tu mano, y serán como frontales entre tus ojos.
9 And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
Las escribirás en los postes de tu casa y en tus puertas.
10 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,
Cuando Yahvé, tu Dios, te lleve a la tierra que juró a tus padres, a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob, que te daría, ciudades grandes y buenas que no construiste,
11 houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
y casas llenas de todo lo bueno que no llenaste, y cisternas excavadas que no cavaste, viñas y olivos que no plantaste, comerás y te saciarás;
12 beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
entonces ten cuidado de no olvidarte de Yahvé, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre.
13 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.
Temerás a Yahvé, tu Dios, y le servirás, y jurarás por su nombre.
14 Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;
No irás en pos de otros dioses, de los dioses de los pueblos que te rodean,
15 for the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
porque Yahvé vuestro Dios en medio de ti es un Dios celoso, no sea que la ira de Yahvé vuestro Dios se encienda contra ti y te destruya de la faz de la tierra.
16 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.
No tentarás a Yahvé vuestro Dios, como lo tentaste en Masá.
17 You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.
Guardarás con diligencia los mandamientos de Yahvé vuestro Dios, sus testimonios y sus estatutos, que él te ha ordenado.
18 And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,
Harás lo que es justo y bueno a los ojos de Yahvé, para que te vaya bien y entres a poseer la buena tierra que Yahvé juró a tus padres,
19 to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.
para echar a todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, como Yahvé ha dicho.
20 And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?
Cuando tu hijo te pregunte en el futuro, diciendo: “¿Qué significan los testimonios, los estatutos y las ordenanzas que el Señor, nuestro Dios, te ha ordenado?”
21 Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.
entonces le dirás a tu hijo: “Fuimos esclavos del Faraón en Egipto. Yahvé nos sacó de Egipto con mano poderosa;
22 And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.
y Yahvé hizo grandes y asombrosas señales y prodigios sobre Egipto, sobre el Faraón y sobre toda su casa, ante nuestros ojos;
23 And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.
y nos sacó de allí para introducirnos en ella, para darnos la tierra que juró a nuestros padres.
24 And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.
Yahvé nos mandó hacer todos estos estatutos, para temer a Yahvé nuestro Dios, para nuestro bien siempre, para que nos conserve la vida, como hoy.
25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
Será justo para nosotros, si observamos poner en práctica todos estos mandamientos delante de Yahvé nuestro Dios, como él nos ha mandado.”
