Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
Estas son las palabras de la alianza que Yahvé mandó a Moisés ratificar con los hijos de Israel en el país de Moab, además de la alianza que hizo con ellos en el Horeb.
2 Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
Y convocó Moisés a todo Israel, y les dijo: “Habéis visto todo lo que hizo Yahvé ante vuestros ojos en la tierra de Egipto, al Faraón, a todos sus siervos y a todo su país:
3 You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
las grandes plagas que vieron vuestros ojos, aquellas señales y maravillas estupendas;
4 But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
pero hasta el día de hoy Yahvé no os ha dado corazón que entienda, ni ojos que vean, ni oídos que escuchen.
5 For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
Durante cuarenta años os he conducido por el desierto, y no se han gastado vuestros vestidos sobre vosotros, ni se ha roto el calzado en tu pie.
6 You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
No habéis comido pan, ni habéis bebido vino ni licor fermentado, a fin de que conocierais que Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.
7 “And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
Cuando llegasteis a este lugar salieron a nuestro encuentro para Hacernos guerra, Sehón, rey de Hesbón, y Og, rey de Basan, a los cuales derrotamos.
8 We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Y apoderándonos de su tierra, la dimos en posesión a los rubenitas, a los gaditas y a la media tribu de Manasés.
9 “So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
Guardad, pues, las palabras de esta alianza y ponedlas por obra, para que tengáis éxito en cuanto emprendáis.
10 Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
Vosotros estáis hoy todos ante Yahvé, vuestro Dios: vuestros príncipes y vuestras tribus, vuestros ancianos y vuestros jefes, todos los hombres de Israel;
11 your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
vuestros niños, vuestras mujeres y el extranjero que se halla en tu campamento, desde tu leñador hasta tu aguador;
12 [We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
para que entres en la alianza jurada que Yahvé, tu Dios, hace hoy contigo,
13 [He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
a fin de constituirte hoy en pueblo suyo, y ser Él tu Dios, como te ha prometido, y como juró a tus padres, a Abrahán, a Isaac y a Jacob.
14 This agreement is not only with you.
Y no solamente con vosotros hago yo esta alianza jurada,
15 He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
sino con (todos) los que hoy están aquí con nosotros delante de Yahvé, nuestro Dios, y también con los que no están hoy aquí con nosotros.
16 “You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
Vosotros sabéis cómo hemos vivido en la tierra de Egipto, y cómo hemos pasado por medio de los pueblos por los cuales tuvisteis que pasar;
17 In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
y habéis visto sus abominaciones y sus ídolos, leño y piedra, plata y oro, que hay entre ellos.
18 So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
No haya, pues, en medio de vosotros hombre o mujer, familia o tribu, cuyo corazón se aparte hoy de Yahvé, nuestro Dios, para ir a servir a los dioses de estos pueblos; no haya entre vosotros raíz que produzca veneno y amargura.
19 “Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
Que nadie al oír las palabras de este juramento, se bendiga en su corazón, diciendo: ‘Yo tendré paz aunque persista en la dureza de mi corazón’, de modo que la borrachera terminaría en sed.
20 Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
Yahvé no le perdonará; sino que se encenderán la ira de Yahvé y su celo contra tal hombre y se echarán sobre él todas las maldiciones escritas en este libro; y Yahvé borrará su nombre de debajo del cielo.
21 From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
Yahvé le separará, para daño suyo, de todas las tribus de Israel, conforme a todas las maldiciones de la alianza escrita en este libro de la Ley.
22 “In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
Y dirán las generaciones venideras de vuestros hijos que nacerán después de vosotros, y los extranjeros que vinieren de lejanas fierras, al ver las plagas de este país y las enfermedades con que Yahvé lo habrá castigado:
23 They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
azufre y sal, abrasada toda su tierra, en la que no se siembra, y que nada produce; no brota en ella hierba alguna, como sucedió en el asolamiento de Sodoma y Gomorra, Adama y Seboím, que asoló Yahvé en su ira y en su furor.
24 And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
Y se preguntarán los pueblos: ‘¿Por qué ha tratado Yahvé así a este país? ¿Por qué el furor de tan terrible cólera?’
25 “Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
Y se les dirá: ‘Porque abandonaron la alianza de Yahvé, el Dios de sus padres, que Él hizo con ellos cuando los sacó de la tierra de Egipto.
26 Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
Se fueron y sirvieron a otros dioses, postrándose delante de ellos; dioses que no conocían y que Él no les había atribuido.
27 So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
Por tanto se encendió la ira de Yahvé contra este país descargando sobre él todas las maldiciones escritas en este libro;
28 Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
y los desarraigó Yahvé de su tierra con ira, con furor y con grande indignación, y los arrojó a otro país, como hoy se ve.’
29 “[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
Las cosas secretas son para Yahvé, nuestro Dios, mas las cosas reveladas son para nosotros y para nuestros hijos para siempre, para que pongamos en práctica todas las palabras de esta Ley.
