Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
¡Presten atención, oh cielos, y hablaré! Escuche la tierra los dichos de mi boca.
2 I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
Gotee como lluvia mi enseñanza, Y como el rocío destile mi palabra, Como la llovizna sobre la grama, Como aguaceros sobre el césped,
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
Porque voy a proclamar el Nombre de Yavé. ¡Atribuyan la grandeza a nuestro ʼElohim!
4 He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
Él es la Roca cuya obra es perfecta. Todos sus caminos son justos. ʼElohim de fidelidad, sin injusticia, Justo y recto es Él.
5 “But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
La corrupción no es suya. De sus hijos es la mancha, ¡Generación torcida y perversa!
6 You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
¿Así pagan a Yavé, Pueblo necio e insensato? ¿No es Él tu Padre que te creó? ¡Él te hizo y te estableció!
7 “Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
Recuerda los días de antaño. Considera los años de muchas generaciones. Pregunta a tu padre, y te declarará, A tus ancianos, y te lo dirán:
8 When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
Cuando ʼElyón daba a cada pueblo su heredad, Y distribuyó a los hijos del hombre, Estableció las fronteras de los pueblos, Según el número de los hijos de Israel.
9 But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
Porque la porción de Yavé es su pueblo, Jacob es la porción de su heredad.
10 “He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
Lo halló en una tierra desértica, En un yermo de horrible desolación. Lo rodeo y lo cuidó, Lo guardó como la niña de su ojo.
11 [Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
Como el águila agita su nidada, Revolotea sobre sus aguiluchos, Extiende sus alas, los recoge, Y los lleva sobre sus plumas.
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
Yavé solo lo condujo. Con Él no hubo ʼEL extraño.
13 “[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
Lo hizo cabalgar sobre las alturas de la tierra, Y comió el producto del campo. Le dio a chupar miel de la peña Y aceite del duro pedernal,
14 The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
Mantequilla de vacas y leche de ovejas, Grasa de corderos y carneros, Ganado y machos cabríos de Basán Con flor de harina de trigo. Y tomó vino, la sangre de las uvas.
15 “The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
Pero engordó Jesurún y tiró coces (Engordaste, te llenaste de grasa). Y abandonó al ʼElohim Quien lo hizo, Menospreció a la Roca de su salvación.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
Lo provocaron a celos con ʼelohim extraños. Lo provocaron a ira con repugnancias.
17 They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
Sacrificaron a los demonios, y no a ʼElohim, A ʼelohim que no conocieron, A nuevos ʼelohim venidos de cerca, A los cuales sus antepasados no temieron.
18 They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
¡De la Roca que te creó te olvidaste, Olvidaste al ʼElohim Quien te dio a luz!
19 “When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
Yavé lo vio, y se encendió en ira Por el menosprecio de sus hijos y de sus hijas.
20 He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
Dije entonces: Esconderé de ellos mi rostro, Veré cuál sea su fin, Porque son generación perversa, hijos infieles.
21 They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
Me movieron a celos con lo que no es ʼelohim, Me provocaron a ira con sus ídolos. Así que los moveré a celos con lo que no es pueblo, Los provocaré a ira con una nación insensata.
22 I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
El fuego se encendió en Mí, Y arderá hasta las profundidades del Seol. Devorará la tierra con sus frutos, Y quemará los cimientos de las montañas. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
Amontonaré males sobre ellos. Contra ellos usaré mis flechas.
24 They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
Serán devastados por el hambre, Consumidos por la fiebre Y destrucción amarga. Les enviaré colmillos de fieras, Y veneno de las que reptan en el polvo.
25 Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
Por fuera los desolará la espada, Y dentro de las cámaras, el espanto, Tanto al joven como a la doncella, Tanto al lactante como al canoso.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
Me dije: Los dispersaría, Y borraría su memoria de entre los hombres.
27 But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
Si no entendiera Yo el furor del enemigo, Y que lo entienden mal sus adversarios, No sea que digan: Nuestra mano venció, Yavé no hizo todo esto.
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
Porque son una nación carente de consejo, Y no hay entendimiento en ellos.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
¡Quién diera que fueran sabios para entender esto! ¡Que ellos entendieran su futuro!
30 [You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
¿Cómo podría uno perseguir a 1.000, Y dos lograr que huyan 10.000, Si su Roca no los hubiera vendido, Y Yavé no los hubiera entregado?
31 Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
En verdad su roca no es como nuestra Roca, Aun nuestros mismos enemigos juzgan esto.
32 Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
Porque la vid de Sodoma es la de ellos, Y de los campos de Gomorra. Sus uvas son venenosas, Sus racimos, amargos.
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
Su vino es veneno de serpientes, Y ponzoña mortal de cobras.
34 [“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
¿No tengo esto recogido, Y sellado en mis tesoros?
35 I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
Mía es la venganza y la retribución. A su tiempo se resbalará su pie. Porque el día de calamidad está cerca, Y las cosas venideras se apresuran sobre ellos.
36 “But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
Porque Yavé vindicará a su pueblo, Y tendrá compasión de sus esclavos. Cuando vea que flaquea su fuerza, Y que ya no existe esclavo ni liberto,
37 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
Dirá: ¿Dónde están sus ʼelohim, La roca en la cual se refugiaron?
38 You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
¿No comían la grasa de sus sacrificios, Y bebían el vino de sus libaciones? ¡Que se levanten y les ayuden, Y sean su refugio!
39 “But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
Pero ahora miren que Yo, Yo soy Él, Y no hay ʼElohim fuera de Mí. Yo hago morir y Yo doy vida. Yo herí y Yo sano, Y no hay uno que libre de mi mano.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
Porque Yo levanto mi mano al cielo, Y digo: Tan cierto como vivo eternamente,
41 that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
Cuando afile mi reluciente espada, Y mi mano empuñe la justicia, Tomaré venganza de mis adversarios, Y a los que me aborrecen daré el pago.
42 I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
Embriagaré de sangre mis flechas, Y mi espada devorará carne, Con la sangre de muertos y cautivos, Con cabezas melenudas de enemigos.
43 “You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
Exalten, naciones, a su pueblo, Porque Él vengará la sangre de sus esclavos, Retribuirá venganza a sus adversarios, Y apaciguará por la tierra de su pueblo.
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
Así que Moisés, acompañado por Josué, hijo de Nun, recitó a oídos del pueblo todas las palabras de este cántico.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
Cuando Moisés terminó de recitar todas esas palabras a todo Israel,
46 Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
les dijo: Apliquen su corazón a todas las palabras que testifico hoy contra ustedes, y manden a sus hijos que practiquen todas las Palabras de esta Ley.
47 These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Porque no es palabra vana para ustedes. Ciertamente es su vida, y por ella prolongarán los días en la tierra adonde ustedes van para poseerla, al pasar el Jordán.
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Y aquel mismo día Yavé habló a Moisés:
49 “Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
Sube a esta montaña Abarim, a la montaña Nebo, que está en la tierra de Moab frente a Jericó, y contempla la tierra de Canaán que Yo doy en posesión a los hijos de Israel,
50 You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
y muere en la montaña a la cual tú subes, y sé reunido a tu pueblo, como murió tu hermano Aarón en la montaña Hor, y fue reunido a su pueblo.
51 You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
Porque pecaron contra Mí en medio de los hijos de Israel en las aguas de Meriba en Cades, en el desierto de Zin, al no santificarme entre los hijos de Israel.
52 [When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
Por eso verás la tierra delante de ti, pero no entrarás allá, a la tierra que doy a los hijos de Israel.
