Deuteronomy 6
1 “These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Este es el mandamiento, estas son las leyes y los preceptos que Yahvé, vuestro Dios, mandó que se os enseñase, para que los pongáis por obra en la tierra adonde pasáis para tomarla en posesión,
2 He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
a fin de que temas a Yahvé, tu Dios, de modo que observes todas sus leyes y mandamientos que yo te ordeno: tú, y tu hijo, y el hijo de tu hijo, todos los días de tu vida; y para que vivas muchos días.
3 So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
Escucha, oh Israel, y pon cuidado en cumplirlos, a fin de que te vaya bien, y crezcáis más y más, según la promesa que te ha hecho Yahvé, el Dios de tus padres, de darte una tierra que mana leche y miel.
4 “You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
Oye, Israel: Yahvé, nuestro Dios, Yahvé es uno solo.
5 You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
Amarás a Yahvé, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con todas tus fuerzas.
6 Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
Y estas palabras que hoy te ordeno estarán sobre tu corazón.
7 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.
Las inculcarás a tus hijos, y hablarás de ellas, ora estando en tu casa, ora viajando, cuando te acuestes y cuando te levantes.
8 [Write them on tiny scrolls and] fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
Las atarás para recuerdo a tu mano y te servirán como frontales entre tus ojos;
9 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
y las escribirás en los postes de tu casa y en tus puertas.
10 “Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
Cuando Yahvé, tu Dios, te haya introducido en la tierra que juró a tus padres, a Abrahán, a Isaac y a Jacob, que te daría: ciudades grandes y espléndidas que tú no has edificado,
11 He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
casas llenas de toda suerte de bienes que tú no acumulaste, cisternas excavadas que tú no excavaste, viñas y olivares que no plantaste; y cuando comieres y te hartares,
12 be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
guárdate entonces de olvidarte de Yahvé que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de la servidumbre.
13 “You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
A Yahvé, tu Dios, temerás, a Él (solo) servirás, y por su nombre jurarás.
14 You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
No os vayáis tras otros dioses, tras ninguno de los dioses de las naciones que os rodean;
15 Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
porque Yahvé, tu Dios, que habita en medio de ti, es un Dios celoso; no sea que la ira de Yahvé se encienda contra ti y te extermine de sobre la faz de la tierra.
16 Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
No tentéis a Yahvé, vuestro Dios, como le tentasteis en Masá.
17 Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
Observad fielmente los mandamientos de Yahvé, Dios vuestro, sus testimonios y preceptos que Él te ha prescrito.
18 Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
Haz lo que es bueno y recto a los ojos de Yahvé, para que te vaya bien y entres a poseer aquella excelente tierra que Yahvé prometió bajo juramento dar a tus padres,
19 He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
cuando arroje, según su promesa, a todos tus enemigos que se te presenten.
20 “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
Cuando el día de mañana te preguntare tu hijo diciendo: ¿Qué son estos testimonios, estas leyes y preceptos que Yahvé, nuestro Dios, os ha mandado?
21 tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
Responderás a tu hijo: ‘Éramos esclavos del Faraón en Egipto, y Yahvé nos sacó de Egipto con mano potente.
22 They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
Yahvé hizo a nuestra vista señales y prodigios grandes y terribles contra Egipto, contra el Faraón y contra toda su casa;
23 He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
mas a nosotros nos sacó de allí, conduciéndonos, a fin de darnos esta tierra que había prometido con juramento a nuestros padres.
24 And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
Y nos mandó cumplir todas estas leyes y temer a Yahvé, nuestro Dios, para que seamos felices todos los días, y para que Él nos dé vida, como ha hecho hasta ahora.
25 Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
Será nuestro deber cumplir fielmente todos estos mandamientos ante Yahvé, nuestro Dios, como Él nos ha mandado.’
