Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
Moisés con los ancianos de Israel, dio esta orden al pueblo: “Guardad todo el mandamiento que hoy os prescribo.
2 [Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
Cuando hayas pasado el Jordán para entrar en el país que Yahvé, tu Dios, te va a dar, levantarás unas grandes piedras que revocarás con cal,
y escribirás sobre ellas todas las palabras de esta ley, pasado que hayas (el Jordán) para entrar en la tierra que Yahvé, tu Dios, te dará, tierra que mana leche y miel, como Yahvé, el Dios de tus padres, te lo tiene prometido.
Cuando, pues, hayas pasado el Jordán levantaréis estas piedras, como os mando hoy, en el monte Ebal, y las revocaréis con cal.
5 And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
Erigirás allí un altar a Yahvé, tu Dios, un altar de piedras, a las que no haya tocado instrumento de hierro.
6 The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
De piedras toscas harás ese altar para Yahvé, tu Dios, y ofrecerás en él holocaustos a Yahvé, tu Dios.
7 And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
Ofrecerás sacrificios pacíficos; y comerás allí y te regocijarás en presencia de Yahvé, Dios tuyo.
8 And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
Escribirás sobre las piedras todas las palabras de esta ley en forma bien clara.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
Entonces Moisés, con los sacerdotes levitas, habló a todo Israel, diciendo: “Guarda silencio y escucha, oh Israel. Hoy has sido constituido pueblo de Yahvé, Dios tuyo.
10 So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
Escucha, pues, la voz de Yahvé, tu Dios, y cumple sus mandamientos y sus leyes que hoy te prescribo.”
11 On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
En aquel día, Moisés mandó al pueblo, diciendo:
12 “After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
“Pasado que hayáis el Jordán, se pondrán sobre el monte Garizim, para bendecir al pueblo estas (tribus): Simeón, Leví, Judá, Isacar, José y Benjamín.
13 And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
Y para maldecir se pondrán sobre el monte Ebal las siguientes (tribus): Rubén, Gad, Aser, Zabulón, Dan y Neftalí.
14 The descendants of Levi must shout these words loudly:
Entonces los levitas tomarán la palabra, y en voz alta dirán a todos los hombres de Israel:
15 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who makes an idol of stone, or of wood, or of metal, and secretly sets it up [and worships it]. Yahweh considers that those things, made by humans [SYN], are detestable/disgusting.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el hombre que hace estatua o imagen de fundición, abominación a Yahvé, obra de artífice, y la pone en lugar oculto!’ Y responderá todo el pueblo y dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
16 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que desprecia a su padre y a su madre!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
17 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who removes someone else’s markers of property boundaries.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que remueve los lindes de su prójimo!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
18 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who leads a blind person to go (in the wrong direction/where that person does not want to go).’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que hace errar al ciego en el camino!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
19 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who deprives foreigners or orphans or widows of the things that the laws state must be done for them.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que tuerce el derecho del extranjero, del huérfano y de la viuda!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
20 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who (shows no respect for/disgraces his father) by having sex with [EUP] any of his father’s wives.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que se acuesta con la mujer de su padre, porque ha levantado la cubierta del lecho de su padre!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
21 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex [EUP] with any animal.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que peca con una bestia cualquiera!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
22 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex with his sister or with his half-sister.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que se acueste con su hermana, hija de su padre o hija de su madre!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá ‘¡Amén!’
23 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex with [EUP] his mother-in-law.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que se acuesta con su suegra!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá ‘¡Amén!’
24 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who secretly murders someone else.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito el que ocultamente mata a su prójimo!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá ‘¡Amén!’
25 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who accepts a bribe to murder someone who (is innocent/has not done something that is wrong.)’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘¡Maldito aquel que acepta soborno para matar un inocente!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
26 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who disobeys these laws and refuses to declare that these laws [are good].’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’”
‘¡Maldito el que no persevera en las palabras de esta Ley para ponerlas en práctica!’ Y todo el pueblo dirá: ‘¡Amén!’
