Deuteronomy 10
1 “Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
En aquel tiempo me dijo Yahvé: ‘Lábrate dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y sube hacia Mí al monte. Hazte también un arca de madera;
2 I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
y Yo escribiré en las tablas las palabras que estaban en las tablas primeras que rompiste; y las pondrás en el arca.’
3 “So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
Hice, pues, un arca de madera de acacia, labré dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y subí al monte con las dos tablas en la mano.
4 There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
Y Él escribió sobre las tablas conforme a lo que había escrito en las primeras, los diez Mandamientos que Yahvé os había promulgado en el monte de en medio del fuego, el día de la Asamblea; y Yahvé me las entregó.
5 and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
Me volví y bajé del monte, y puse las tablas en el arca que había hecho, y allí han quedado, según la orden de Yahvé.
6 (Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
Después los hijos de Israel partieron de Beerot-Bené-Jaacán para Moserá. Allí murió Aarón, y allí fue enterrado. En lugar suyo fue constituido sacerdote su hijo Eleazar.
7 From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
De allí partieron para Gudgod, y de Gudgod a Jotbá, tierra de torrentes de agua.
8 At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
En aquel tiempo Yahvé escogió la tribu de Leví para llevar el arca de la Alianza de Yahvé, para estar delante de Yahvé y para servirle y bendecir en su nombre, hasta el día de hoy.
9 That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
Por esto Leví no obtuvo porción ni herencia entre sus hermanos; su herencia es Yahvé como se lo prometió Yahvé, tu Dios.
10 “I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
Permanecí en el monte como la vez primera, cuarenta días y cuarenta noches; y también esta vez me oyó Yahvé; y Yahvé no quiso más destruirte.
11 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
Y me dijo Yahvé: ‘Levántate, para marchar al frente del pueblo, para que vayan ellos y posean la tierra que Yo con juramento he prometido dar a sus padres.’
12 “Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
Ahora, oh Israel, ¿qué es lo que Yahvé, tu Dios, te pide, sino que temas a Yahvé, tu Dios, que andes en todos sus caminos, y que le ames, y que sirvas a Yahvé, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma,
13 and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
guardando los mandamientos de Yahvé y sus preceptos que hoy te mando para bien tuyo?
14 “Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
Mira, de Yahvé, tu Dios, son los cielos, y los cielos de los cielos, la tierra y cuanto hay en ella.
15 But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
Sin embargo, Yahvé se unió íntimamente a tus padres para amarlos, y escogió a su descendencia después de ellos, esto es, a vosotros, de entre todas las naciones, como se ve al presente.
16 So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
Circuncidad, pues, vuestros corazones, y no endurezcáis más vuestra cerviz;
17 Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
porque Yahvé, vuestro Dios, es el Dios de los dioses y el Señor de los señores; el Dios grande, el Fuerte, el Terrible, que no hace acepción de personas ni recibe regalos;
18 He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
que hace justicia al huérfano y a la viuda, ama al extranjero y le da pan y vestido.
19 So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
Amad, pues, al extranjero, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en el país de Egipto.
20 Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
Temerás a Yahvé, tu Dios, y a Él le servirás; a Él te adherirás y en su nombre jurarás.
21 He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
Él sea el objeto de tu alabanza y Él tu Dios, el que ha hecho por ti esas cosas grandes y terribles que han visto tus ojos.
22 When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
En número de setenta almas descendieron tus padres a Egipto, y ahora Yahvé, tu Dios, te ha hecho numeroso como las estrellas del cielo.
