< Deuteronomy 28 >
1 “And it has been, if you listen diligently to the voice of your God YHWH, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding you today, that your God YHWH has made you highest above all the nations of the earth,
Sucederá que si escuchas atentamente la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim para guardar y practicar todos sus Mandamientos que yo te ordeno hoy, también Yavé tu ʼElohim te exaltará por encima de todas las naciones de la tierra.
2 and all these blessings have come on you and overtaken you, because you listen to the voice of your God YHWH:
Si escuchas la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim, todas estas bendiciones vendrán sobre ti y te alcanzarán:
3 Blessed [are] you in the city, and blessed [are] you in the field.
Bendito serás tú en la ciudad y en el campo.
4 Blessed [is] the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your livestock, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock.
Bendito el fruto de tu vientre, de tu tierra, de tus animales, la cría de tus manadas vacunas y los borregos de tu rebaño.
5 Blessed [is] your basket and your kneading-trough.
Bendita será tu cesta y tu artesa de amasar.
6 Blessed [are] you in your coming in, and blessed [are] you in your going out.
Bendito serás cuando entres y cuando salgas.
7 YHWH makes your enemies, who are rising up against you, to be struck before your face; in one way they come out to you, and in seven ways they flee before you.
Yavé hará que tus enemigos, los que se levantan contra ti, sean derrotados delante de ti. Por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de ti.
8 YHWH commands the blessing with you in your storehouses, and in every putting forth of your hand, and has blessed you in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.
Yavé mandará su bendición sobre tus graneros y sobre todo lo que emprenda tu mano. Te bendecirá en la tierra que te da Yavé tu ʼElohim.
9 YHWH establishes you to Himself for a holy people, as He has sworn to you, when you keep the commands of your God YHWH and have walked in His ways;
Yavé te confirmará como su pueblo santo, como te juró, si guardas los Mandamientos de Yavé tu ʼElohim y andas en sus caminos.
10 and all the peoples of the land have seen that the Name of YHWH is called by you, and they have been afraid of you.
Todos los pueblos de la tierra mirarán que el Nombre de Yavé es invocado sobre ti, y tendrán temor a ti.
11 And YHWH has made you abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to you.
Yavé hará que sobreabundes en bienes, el fruto de tu vientre, el fruto de tu bestia, el producto de tu terreno, y la tierra que Yavé juró a tus antepasados que te la daría.
12 YHWH opens his good treasure to you—the heavens—to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand, and you have lent to many nations, and you do not borrow.
Yavé te abrirá su buen tesoro, el cielo, para dar la lluvia a tu tierra en su tiempo y bendecir toda la obra de tu mano. Prestarás a muchas naciones, pero tú no tomarás prestado.
13 And YHWH has set you for head and not for tail; and you have been only above, and are not beneath, for you listen to the commands of your God YHWH, which I am commanding you today, to keep and to do,
Si escuchas los Mandamientos de Yavé tu ʼElohim que te mando hoy para que los guardes y los cumplas, Yavé te pondrá como cabeza y no como cola, estarás encima solamente, y no estarás debajo.
14 and you do not turn aside from all the words which I am commanding you today [to] the right or left, to go after other gods, to serve them.
No te apartes, ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda de ninguna de las Palabras que yo te ordeno hoy para seguir y servir a otros ʼelohim.
15 And it has been, if you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to observe to do all His commands and His statutes which I am commanding you today, that all these revilings have come on you and overtaken you:
Pero sucederá que si no escuchas la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim para observar y practicar todos sus Mandamientos y Estatutos que yo te ordeno hoy, vendrán sobre ti y te alcanzarán todas estas maldiciones:
16 Cursed [are] you in the city, and cursed [are] you in the field.
Maldito serás en la ciudad y en el campo.
17 Cursed [is] your basket and your kneading-trough.
Malditas serán tu cesta y tu artesa de amasar.
18 Cursed [is] the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your land, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock.
Maldito será el fruto de tu vientre y de tu tierra, el parto de tu ganado vacuno y la cría de tu rebaño.
19 Cursed [are] you in your coming in, and cursed [are] you in your going out.
Maldito serás cuando entres y cuando salgas.
20 YHWH sends the curse, the trouble, and the rebuke on you, in every putting forth of your hand which you do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings [by] which you have forsaken Me.
Yavé enviará contra ti maldición, quebranto y asombro en todo cuanto pongas la mano y hagas, hasta que seas destruido y perezcas pronto, a causa de la maldad de tus obras por las cuales me dejaste.
21 YHWH causes the pestilence to cleave to you until He consumes you from off the ground to where you are going in to possess it.
Yavé ordenará que se te pegue la mortandad, hasta que Él te extermine de la tierra a la cual entras para poseerla.
22 YHWH strikes you with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with sword, and with blasting, and with mildew, and they have pursued you until you perish
Yavé te herirá con tuberculosis, fiebre, inflamación y calor sofocante, sequía, calamidad repentina, hongo y calamidad repentina, y hongo y honguillo. Te perseguirán hasta que perezcas.
23 And your heavens which [are] over your head have been bronze, and the earth which [is] under you iron;
El cielo que está sobre tu cabeza será de bronce, y la tierra que está debajo de ti, de hierro.
24 YHWH gives dust and ashes [for] the rain of your land; it comes down on you from the heavens until you are destroyed.
Yavé dará a tu tierra polvo y ceniza como lluvia, los cuales descenderán del cielo sobre ti hasta que seas destruido.
25 YHWH makes you struck before your enemies; in one way you go out to them, and in seven ways you flee before them, and you have been for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth;
Yavé ordenará que seas derrotado delante de tus enemigos. Por un camino saldrás contra ellos y por siete caminos huirás de ellos, y serás objeto de terror para todos los reinos de la tierra.
26 and your carcass has been for food for every bird of the heavens and for the beast of the earth, and there is none causing [them] to tremble.
Tu cadáver servirá de comida a todas las aves del cielo y a las fieras de la tierra, y no habrá quien las ahuyente.
27 YHWH strikes you with the ulcer of Egypt, and with lumps, and with scurvy, and with itch, of which you are not able to be healed.
Yavé te golpeará con la úlcera de Egipto, tumores, sarna y erupciones de las cuales no podrás ser curado.
28 YHWH strikes you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;
Yavé te golpeará con demencia, ceguera y turbación de corazón.
29 and you have been groping at noon, as the blind gropes in darkness; and you do not cause your ways to prosper; and you have been only oppressed and plundered [for] all the days, and there is no savior.
Como el ciego palpa en la oscuridad, así palparás a medio día. No prosperarás en tus caminos, sino solo serás oprimido y robado continuamente, sin que alguno te salve.
30 You betroth a woman, and another man lies with her; you build a house, and do not dwell in it; you plant a vineyard, and do not make it common;
Te desposarás con una mujer, pero otro hombre se unirá a ella. Edificarás casa y no vivirás en ella. Plantarás viña, pero no recogerás su fruto.
31 your ox [is] slaughtered before your eyes, and you do not eat of it; your donkey [is] violently taken away from before you, and it is not given back to you; your sheep [are] given to your enemies, and there is no savior for you.
Tu buey será degollado delante de tus ojos, pero no comerás de él. Tu asno será arrebatado delante de ti, y no te será devuelto. Tus ovejas serán dadas a tus enemigos, y no tendrás quien te las rescate.
32 Your sons and your daughters [are] given to another people, and your eyes are looking and consumed for them all the day, but your hand is not to God!
Tus hijos y tus hijas serán entregados a otro pueblo. Tus ojos lo verán y desfallecerán por ellos todo el día, pero no habrá fuerza en tu mano.
33 A people whom you have not known eat the fruit of your ground and all your labor; and you have been only oppressed and bruised [for] all the days;
Un pueblo que no conoces comerá del fruto de tu tierra y de todo tu trabajo. Serás oprimido y quebrantado todos los días,
34 and you have been mad because of the sight of your eyes which you see.
y enloquecerás a causa de lo que verán tus ojos.
35 YHWH strikes you with a severe ulcer on the knees and on the legs (of which you are not able to be healed), from the sole of your foot even to your crown.
Yavé te golpeará con póstula maligna en las rodillas y en las piernas, desde la planta de tu pie hasta tu coronilla, sin que puedas ser curado.
36 YHWH causes you and your king whom you raise up over you to go to a nation which you have not known, you and your fathers, and you have served other gods there—wood and stone;
Yavé te llevará a ti y al rey que designaste sobre ti, a una nación que ni tú ni tus antepasados conocieron. Allí servirás a otros ʼelohim, al palo y a la piedra.
37 and you have been for an astonishment, for an allegory, and for a byword among all the peoples to where YHWH leads you.
Serás objeto de espanto. Servirás de refrán y de burla a todos los pueblos a los cuales Yavé te lleve.
38 You take much seed out into the field, and you gather little in, for the locust consumes it;
Sacarás mucha semilla al campo, pero recogerás poco, porque el saltamontes la devorará.
39 you plant vineyards and have labored, but you do not drink wine, nor gather [grapes], for the worm consumes it;
Plantarás viñas y las cultivarás, pero no recogerás uvas, ni beberás vino, porque el gusano se las comerá.
40 olives are yours in all your border, but you do not pour out oil, for your olive falls off.
Tendrás olivos en todo tu territorio, pero no te ungirás con aceite, porque tu aceituna se caerá.
41 You beget sons and daughters, but they are not with you, for they go into captivity;
Engendrarás hijos e hijas, pero no serán para ti, porque irán en cautividad.
42 the locust possesses all your trees and the fruit of your ground;
La langosta devorará toda tu arboleda y el fruto de tu tierra.
43 the sojourner who [is] in your midst goes up very high above you, and you go down very low;
El extranjero que esté en medio de ti se elevará cada vez más por encima de ti, y tú descenderás más y más abajo.
44 he lends [to] you, and you do not lend [to] him; he is for head and you are for tail.
Él te prestará y tú no le podrás prestar. Él será cabeza y tú serás cola.
45 And all these curses have come on you, and pursued you, and overtaken you, until you are destroyed, because you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep His commands and His statutes which he has commanded you;
Vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones. Te perseguirán y te alcanzarán hasta que seas destruido, por cuanto no escuchaste la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim para guardar sus Mandamientos y Estatutos que Él te prescribió.
46 and they have been on you for a sign and for a wonder, also on your seed—for all time.
Serán señal y maravilla en ti y en tus descendientes para siempre,
47 Because that you have not served your God YHWH with joy and with gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things—
por cuanto no serviste a Yavé tu ʼElohim con alegría y gozo de corazón por la abundancia de todas las cosas.
48 you have served your enemies, whom YHWH sends against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things; and He has put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
Servirás a tus enemigos que Yavé enviará contra ti, en medio de hambre, sed, desnudez y la falta de todas las cosas. Pondrá sobre tu cuello un yugo de hierro hasta que te destruya.
49 YHWH lifts up a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth—it flies as the eagle—a nation whose tongue you have not heard,
Como águila que se lanza, así Yavé traerá contra ti de lejos, del extremo de la tierra, a una nación cuya lengua no entenderás,
50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not accept the face of the aged and does not favor the young;
pueblo de aspecto feroz, que no respetará al anciano, ni del joven tendrá compasión.
51 and it has eaten the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; which does not leave to you grain, new wine, and oil, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock, until it has destroyed you.
Devorará el fruto de tu ganado y el fruto de tu tierra hasta que seas destruido. No te dejará grano, ni mosto, ni aceite, ni la cría de tu ganado vacuno ni las crías de tu rebaño, hasta que te destruya.
52 And it has laid siege to you in all your gates until your walls come down—the high and the fortified ones in which you are trusting, in all your land; indeed, it has laid siege to you in all your gates, in all your land which your God YHWH has given to you.
Asediará en toda tu tierra todas tus ciudades, hasta que caigan tus muros altos y fortificados en los cuales confías. Él te sitiará en todas tus ciudades y toda tu tierra que te dio Yavé tu ʼElohim.
53 And you have eaten the fruit of your body, [the] flesh of your sons and your daughters (whom your God YHWH has given to you), in the siege and in the constriction with which your enemies constrict you.
Por la angustia con la cual te oprimirá tu enemigo durante el asedio, te comerás el fruto de tu vientre, la carne de tus propios hijos e hijas que Yavé tu ʼElohim te dio.
54 The man who is tender in you, and who [is] very delicate—his eye is evil against his brother, and against the wife of his bosom, and against the remnant of his sons whom he leaves,
El hombre refinado y delicado en medio de ti será hostil hacia su hermano, su amada esposa y el resto de sus hijos que le queden,
55 against giving to one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eats, because he has nothing left for himself in the siege and in the constriction with which your enemy constricts you in all your gates.
para no dar a ninguno de ellos de la carne de sus hijos que él come, porque nada le quedó debido al asedio y a la angustia con la cual tu enemigo te atormentará en todas tus ciudades.
56 The tender woman in you, and the delicate, who has not tried the sole of her foot to place on the ground because of delicateness and because of tenderness—her eye is evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against her daughter,
La mujer refinada y delicada entre ustedes, que nunca probó poner la planta de su pie en la tierra por delicadeza y refinamiento, será hostil hacia el varón de su regazo, su hijo, su hija,
57 and against her seed which comes out from between her feet, even against her sons whom she bears, for she eats them in secret, in the lacking of everything, in the siege and in the constriction with which your enemy constricts you within your gates.
su placenta que sale de entre sus piernas y sus hijos que dé a luz. Pues se los comerá a escondidas por la carencia de todo en el asedio y por la angustia con la cual te oprimirá tu enemigo en tus ciudades.
58 If you do not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this scroll, to fear this honored and fearful Name—your God YHWH—
Si no tienes el cuidado de cumplir todas las Palabras de esta Ley escritas en este rollo, para temer a este Nombre glorioso y temible, Yavé tu ʼElohim,
59 then YHWH has made your strokes extraordinary, and the strokes [against] your seed [are] great strokes that are persisting and severe sicknesses that are persisting.
entonces Yavé aumentará de manera asombrosa tus enfermedades y las de tus descendientes, enfermedades severas y duraderas, y perniciosas y crónicas.
60 And He has brought back all the diseases of Egypt on you, from the presence of which you have been afraid, and they have cleaved to you.
Traerá sobre ti todas las enfermedades de Egipto de las cuales temiste, y se pegarán a ti.
61 Also every sickness and every stroke which is not written in the scroll of this law—YHWH causes them to go up on you until you are destroyed,
Yavé también traerá sobre ti toda enfermedad y todo azote que no están escritos en el rollo de esta Ley hasta que seas destruido.
62 and you have been left with few men, whereas that you would have been as stars of the heavens for multitude, for you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH.
Así, después de ser tan numeroso como las estrellas del cielo, quedarán pocos en número por cuanto no obedeciste la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
63 And it has been, as YHWH has rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so YHWH rejoices over you to destroy you and to lay you waste; and you have been pulled away from off the ground to where you are going in to possess it;
Sucederá que así como Yavé se gozó en ustedes para hacerles bien y multiplicarlos, así Yavé se gozará en ustedes para arruinarlos y destruirlos. Serán arrancados de la tierra a la cual entran para tomarla como posesión.
64 and YHWH has scattered you among all the peoples, from the end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth; and you have served other gods there which you have not known, you and your fathers—wood and stone.
Entonces Yavé te dispersará por todos los pueblos, desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro, y allí servirás a otros ʼelohim que ni tú ni tus antepasados conocieron: al palo y a la piedra.
65 And you do not rest among those nations, indeed, there is no resting place for the sole of your foot, and YHWH has given to you a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and grief of soul there;
Entre aquellas naciones no hallarás reposo ni habrá descanso para la planta de tu pie, pues Yavé te dará allí un corazón tembloroso, desfallecimiento de ojos y angustia de alma.
66 and your life has been hanging in suspense before you, and you have been afraid by night and by day, and you do not have assurance in your life;
Tendrás tu vida como algo que pende delante de ti. Estarás temeroso de noche y de día, y no tendrás seguridad de tu vida.
67 in the morning you say, O that it were evening! And in the evening you say, O that it were morning! (From the fear of your heart, with which you are afraid, and from the sight of your eyes which you see.)
Por la mañana dirás: ¡Quién me diera que fuera la noche! Y en la noche dirás: ¡Quién me diera que fuera la mañana! Esto sucederá por el terror con el cual serás atemorizado, y por el espectáculo que verán tus ojos.
68 And YHWH has brought you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You do not add to see it anymore; and you have sold yourselves to your enemies there, for menservants and for maidservants, and there is no buyer.”
Yavé te hará regresar a Egipto en naves por el camino del cual yo te dije: Nunca más volverás. Allí serán ofrecidos en venta a sus enemigos como esclavos y esclavas, y no habrá quien los compre.
