Deuteronomy 8
1 “All the command which I am commanding you today you observe to do, so that you live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers;
Cuidarán de practicar todos los Mandamientos que yo les ordeno hoy para que vivan, se multipliquen y entren a poseer la tierra que Yavé prometió con juramento a sus antepasados.
2 and you have remembered all the way which your God YHWH has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you to try you, to know that which [is] in your heart, whether you keep His commands or not.
Acuérdate de todo el camino en el desierto por donde te condujo Yavé tu ʼElohim estos 40 años para afligirte, probarte y saber lo que había en tu corazón, si guardarías o no sus Mandamientos.
3 And He humbles you, and causes you to hunger, and causes you to eat the manna (which you have not known, even your fathers have not known), in order to cause you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything proceeding [from] the mouth of YHWH.
Él te humilló y te dejó padecer hambre, pero te sustentó con el maná, comida que no conocías, ni tus antepasados conocieron a fin de hacerte entender que no solo de pan vive el hombre, sino de todo lo que sale de la boca de Yavé.
4 Your raiment has not worn out from off you, and your foot has not swelled these forty years,
Tu ropa nunca se envejeció sobre ti, ni tu pie se hinchó en estos 40 años.
5 and you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, your God YHWH is disciplining you,
Reconoce, pues, en tu corazón, que como un hombre corrige a su hijo, así te corrige Yavé tu ʼElohim.
6 and you have kept the commands of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
Por tanto, guardarás los Mandamientos de Yavé tu ʼElohim, andarás en sus caminos y temerás a Él.
7 For your God YHWH is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain;
Porque Yavé tu ʼElohim te introduce a una tierra buena, tierra de arroyos de agua, de fuentes y manantiales que brotan en los valles y en las montañas,
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
tierra de trigo, cebada, vides, higueras y granados, tierra de aceite de olivas y miel,
9 a land in which you eat bread without scarcity—you do not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and you dig bronze out of its mountains.
tierra en la cual comerás el pan sin escasez y nada te faltará en ella, tierra cuyas piedras son hierro, y de sus montañas extraerás el cobre.
10 And you have eaten and been satisfied, and have blessed your God YHWH on the good land which he has given to you.
Comerás y te saciarás. Bendecirás a Yavé tu ʼElohim por la buena tierra que te dio.
11 Take heed to yourself lest you forget your God YHWH so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
Cuídate de no olvidar a Yavé tu ʼElohim al no guardar sus Mandamientos, Ordenanzas y Estatutos que yo te ordeno hoy,
12 lest you eat and have been satisfied, and build good houses and have inhabited [them],
no sea que cuando comas y te sacies, edifiques hermosas casas y las ocupes,
13 and your herd and your flock are multiplied, and silver and gold are multiplied to you, and all that is yours is multiplied,
tus manadas de ganado vacuno y tus rebaños incrementen, la plata y el oro se te multipliquen y todo lo que tengas aumente,
14 and your heart has been high, and you have forgotten your God YHWH who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
tu corazón se enaltezca y te olvides de Yavé tu ʼElohim. Él te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud,
15 who is causing you to go in the great and the terrible wilderness [with] burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst—where there is no water; who is bringing out waters to you from the flinty rock;
te condujo por un desierto vasto y terrible con serpientes ardientes y escorpiones, y en una tierra sedienta, carente de agua. Él te sacó agua del duro pedernal,
16 who is causing you to eat manna in the wilderness, which your fathers have not known, in order to humble you, and in order to try you, to do you good in your latter end;
te sustentó con maná en el desierto, comida que tus antepasados no conocieron, para afligirte, probarte y al final hacerte bien.
17 and you have said in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have made this wealth for me.
No sea que digas en tu corazón: Mi poder y la fuerza de mi mano me trajeron esta riqueza.
18 And you have remembered your God YHWH, for it [is] He who is giving power to you to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as [at] this day.
Más bien te acordarás de Yavé tu ʼElohim, pues Él es Quien te da fuerza para producir riqueza, a fin de confirmar el Pacto que juró a tus antepasados, como se ve hoy.
19 And it has been, if you really forget your God YHWH, and have gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed yourself to them, I have testified against you today that you utterly perish.
Pero sucederá que si te olvidas de Yavé tu ʼElohim, sigues a otros ʼelohim, les sirves y te postras ante ellos, afirmo hoy contra ustedes que ciertamente perecerán.
20 As the nations whom YHWH is destroying from your presence, so you perish, because you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
Como las naciones que Yavé destruye delante de ustedes, así perecerán, porque no obedecieron la voz de Yavé su ʼElohim.
