Deuteronomy 30
1 “I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
Un día después de que experimenten todo esto, las bendiciones y maldiciones de las que te he hablado, pensarás en ellas, viviendo en todas las diferentes naciones donde el Señor tu Dios te ha exiliado.
2 Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
Cuando eso suceda, y cuando tú y tus hijos regresen al Señor tu Dios, y cuando hagas lo que él dice con toda tu mente y todo tu ser de acuerdo con todo lo que te estoy diciendo hoy, entonces el Señor tu Dios será misericordioso contigo.
3 he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
Él te traerá de vuelta a casa, reuniéndote de todas las naciones donde te dispersó.
4 Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
Aunque te exiliases hasta los confines de la tierra, te recogerá de allí y te traerá de vuelta.
5 He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
El Señor tu Dios te traerá de vuelta al país que perteneció a tus antepasados y lo volverás a poseer. Él te hará triunfar, y tendrás aún más descendientes que tus antepasados.
6 Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
El Señor tu Dios te hará a ti y a tus descendientes suyos de nuevo, y lo amarás con toda tu mente y con todo tu ser, para que vivas.
7 Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
Entonces el Señor tu Dios hará caer todas estas maldiciones sobre tus enemigos, sobre aquellos que te odian y persiguen.
8 You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
Una vez más harás lo que el Señor te diga y seguirás todos sus mandamientos que te doy hoy.
9 Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
El Señor tu Dios te hará triunfar en todo lo que hagas, tendrás hijos, tu ganado será productivo y tendrás buenas cosechas. El Señor, una vez más, se alegrará de hacerte el bien, como lo hizo con tus antepasados,
10 [But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
si obedeces al Señor tu Dios guardando sus mandamientos y preceptos escritos en este libro de la Ley, y si vuelves a él con toda tu mente y con todo tu ser.
11 The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
La instrucción que les doy hoy no es demasiado difícil de seguir para ustedes. No es que esté tan lejos que te sea imposible alcanzarla.
12 They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
No está en el cielo como para preguntarte: “¿Quién va a subir al cielo a conseguirla para nosotros y hacernos saber lo que dice para que podamos obedecerla?”
13 And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
No está al otro lado del océano ni más allá del mar, así que tienes que preguntarte: “¿Quién va a cruzar el océano para traérnosla y hacernos saber lo que dice para que podamos obedecerla?”
14 [You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
Sino que esta instrucción está aquí mismo con ustedes. Está en su boca y en su mente para que puedan obedecerla.
15 So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
¡Escuchen! Hoy he puesto una elección ante ustedes: la vida y lo que es bueno, o la muerte y lo que es malo.
16 [I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
Yo les exhorto para que amen al Señor su Dios, que sigan sus caminos, y que guarden sus mandamientos, normas, y preceptos, para que puedan vivir y crecer en número, y para que el Señor su Dios los bendiga en el país que están entrando y que les pertenecerá.
17 But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
Si no haces caso de esto y te niegas a escuchar, si te sientes atraído a inclinarte ante otros dioses y adorarlos,
18 I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
entonces les advierto ahora mismo que definitivamente morirán. No vivirán mucho tiempo en el país que van a poseer después de cruzar el Jordán.
19 I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
Soy invoco al cielo y a la tierra para que sean mis testigos contra ti hoy que he puesto ante ustedes la vida y la muerte, las bendiciones y las maldiciones. Escojan la vida, para que ustedes y sus descendientes vivan,
20 [Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
para que amen al Señor su Dios, le obedezcan y se aferren a él. Porque él es su vida, y les dará largas vidas en el país que el Señor prometió darles a sus antepasados, a Abraham, Isaac y Jacob.
