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].
ESCUCHAD, cielos, y hablaré; y oiga 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.
Goteará como la lluvia mi doctrina; destilará como el rocío mi razonamiento; como la llovizna sobre la grama, y como las gotas sobre la hierba:
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
Porque el nombre de Jehová invocaré: engrandeced á nuestro Dios.
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.
[El es] la Roca, cuya obra es perfecta, porque todos sus caminos son rectitud: Dios de verdad, y ninguna iniquidad en él: es justo y recto.
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: á sus hijos la mancha de ellos, 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 pagáis á Jehová, pueblo loco é ignorante? ¿no es él tu padre que te poseyó? él te hizo y te ha organizado.
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.
Acuérdate de los tiempos antiguos; considerad los años de generación y generación: pregunta á tu padre, que él te declarará; á tus viejos, y ellos te 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 el Altísimo hizo heredar á las gentes, cuando hizo dividir los hijos de los hombres, estableció los términos 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 parte de Jehová es su pueblo; Jacob la cuerda 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]
Hallólo en tierra de desierto, y en desierto horrible y yermo; trájolo alrededor, instruyólo, guardólo 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 despierta su nidada, revolotea sobre sus pollos, extiende sus alas, los toma, los lleva sobre sus plumas:
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
Jehová solo le guió, que no hubo con él dios ajeno.
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.
Hízolo subir sobre las alturas de la tierra, y comió los frutos del campo, é hizo que chupase 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.
Manteca de vacas y leche de ovejas, con grosura de corderos, y carneros de Basán; también machos de cabrío, con grosura de riñones de trigo: y sangre de uva bebiste, vino puro.
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.
Y engrosó Jeshurun, y tiró coces: engordástete, engrosástete, cubrístete: y dejó al Dios que le hizo, y menospreció la Roca de su salud.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
Despertáronle á celos con los [dioses] ajenos; ensañáronle con abominaciones.
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 á los diablos, no á Dios; á dioses que no habían conocido, á nuevos [dioses] venidos de cerca, que no habían temido vuestros padres.
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 crió te olvidaste: te has olvidado del Dios tu criador.
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.
Y vió[lo] Jehová, y encendióse 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.
Y dijo: Esconderé de ellos mi rostro, veré cuál será su postrimería: que son generación de perversidades, hijos sin fe.
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.
Ellos me movieron á celos con lo que no es Dios; hiciéronme ensañar con sus vanidades: yo también los moveré á celos con [un pueblo que] no [es] pueblo, con gente insensata los haré ensañar.
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)
Porque fuego se encenderá en mi furor, y arderá hasta el profundo; y devorará la tierra y sus frutos, y abrasará los fundamentos de los montes. (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.
Yo allegaré males sobre ellos; emplearé en ellos mis saetas.
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.
Consumidos [serán] de hambre, y comidos de fiebre ardiente y de amarga pestilencia; diente de bestias enviaré también sobre ellos, con veneno de serpiente de la tierra.
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.
De fuera desolará la espada, y dentro de las cámaras el espanto; así al mancebo como á la doncella, al que mama como el hombre cano.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
Dije: Echaríalos yo del mundo, haría cesar de entre los hombres la memoria de ellos,
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 temiese la ira del enemigo, no sea que se envanezcan sus adversarios, no sea que digan: Nuestra mano alta ha hecho todo esto, no Jehová.
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
Porque son gente de perdidos consejos, y no hay en ellos entendimiento.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
¡Ojalá fueran sabios, que comprendieran esto, y entendieran su postrimería!
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 perseguir uno á mil, y dos harían huir á diez mil, si su Roca no los hubiese vendido, y Jehová 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].
Que la roca de ellos no es como nuestra Roca: y nuestros enemigos [sean de ello] jueces.
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 de la vid de Sodoma es la vid de ellos, y de los sarmientos de Gomorra: las uvas de ellos son uvas ponzoñosas, racimos muy amargos tienen.
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
Veneno de dragones es su vino, y ponzoña cruel de áspides.
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 yo esto guardado, 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 el pago, al tiempo que su pie vacilará; porque el día de su aflicción está cercano, y lo que les está preparado se apresura.
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 Jehová juzgará á su pueblo, y por amor de sus siervos se arrepentirá, cuando viere que la fuerza pereció, y que no hay guardado, mas desamparado.
37 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
Y dirá: ¿Dónde están sus dioses, la roca en que se guarecían;
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!
Que comían el sebo de sus sacrificios, bebían el vino de sus libaciones? Levántense, que os ayuden y os defiendan.
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.
Ved ahora que yo, yo soy, y no hay dioses conmigo: yo hago morir, y yo hago vivir: yo hiero, y yo curo: y no hay quien pueda librar de mi mano.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
Cuando yo alzaré á los cielos mi mano, y diré: Vivo yo para siempre,
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.
Si afilare mi reluciente espada, y mi mano arrebatare el juicio, yo volveré la venganza á mis enemigos, y daré el pago á los que me aborrecen.
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 saetas, y mi espada devorará carne: en la sangre de los muertos y de los cautivos de las cabezas, con venganzas de enemigo.
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.”
Alabad, gentes, á su pueblo, porque él vengará la sangre de sus siervos, y volverá la venganza á sus enemigos, y expiará su tierra, á su pueblo.
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
Y vino Moisés, y recitó todas las palabras de este cántico á oídos del pueblo, él, y Josué hijo de Nun.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
Y acabó Moisés de recitar todas estas palabras á 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.
Y díjoles: Poned vuestro corazón á todas las palabras que yo os protesto hoy, para que las mandéis á vuestros hijos, y cuiden de poner por obra 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 os es cosa vana, mas es vuestra vida: y por ellas haréis prolongar los días sobre la tierra, para poseer la cual pasáis el Jordán.
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Y habló Jehová á Moisés aquel mismo día, diciendo:
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 á este monte de Abarim, al monte Nebo, que está en la tierra de Moab, que está en derecho de Jericó, y mira la tierra de Canaán, que yo doy por heredad á 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 el monte al cual subes, y sé reunido á tus pueblos; al modo que murió Aarón tu hermano en el monte de Hor, y fué reunido á sus pueblos:
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.
Por cuanto prevaricasteis contra mí en medio de los hijos de Israel en las aguas de la rencilla de Cades, en el desierto de Zin; porque no me santificasteis en medio de 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.”
Verás por tanto delante de ti la tierra; mas no entrarás allá, á la tierra que doy á los hijos de Israel.
