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.
Estos son los mandamientos y ordenanzas que el Señor su Dios me ha pedido que les enseñe a seguir en el país que van a entrar y habitar.
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.
Esto es para que tú y tus hijos y nietos muestren respeto al Señor tu Dios a lo largo de sus vidas guardando todas sus reglas y preceptos que yo te doy, y para que tengas una larga vida.
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, pueblo de Israel, y está atento a observarlas, para que les vaya bien y tengan mucha descendencia en una tierra que fluye leche y miel, tal como se los prometió el Señor, el Dios de sus antepasados.
4 “You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
Escucha, pueblo de Israel, el Señor nuestro Dios, el Señor es el único.
5 You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
Amarás al Señor tu Dios con toda tu mente, con todo tu ser y con todas tus fuerzas.
6 Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
Las órdenes que les doy hoy deben permanecer en sus mentes.
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.
Deberán explicarlas cuidadosamente a sus hijos y hablar de ellas cuando estén en casa y al viajar, cuando se acuesten y cuando se levanten.
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].
Amárrenlas en sus manos como recordatorio y pónganlas también en sus frentes.
9 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
Escríbanlas en los postes de sus casas y en sus 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.
El Señor tu Dios te llevará al país que prometió darte a ti y a tus antepasados, Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. Es un país con grandes y prósperas ciudades que no construiste,
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,
con casas llenas de muchas cosas buenas que no proporcionaste, que tienen pozos que no cavaste, y viñedos y olivares que no plantaste. Cuando comas y estés lleno
12 be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
asegúrate de no olvidartedel Señor que te sacó de Egipto, de la prisión de la esclavitud.
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.
Respeta al Señor tu Dios, adórale sólo a él, y haz sólo promesas en su nombre.
14 You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
No adores a ningún otro dios, ni a los dioses de los pueblos que te 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 el Señor tu Dios, que vive entre ustedes, es un Dios exclusivo, y el Señor tu Dios se enfadará contigo y te aniquilará.
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 pongas a prueba al Señor tu Dios como lo hiciste en Massa.
17 Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
Debes tener cuidado de guardar los mandamientos del Señor tu Dios y las leyes y reglas que te ha dado.
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 correcto ante los ojos del Señor para que te vaya bien y puedas entrar y apoderarte de la buena tierra que el Señor tu Dios prometió dar a tus antepasados,
19 He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
Él expulsará a todos tus enemigos delante de ti, tal como dijo.
20 “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
En el futuro, cuando tus hijos vengan y te pregunten: “¿Qué sentido tienen los decretos y preceptos que el Señor nuestro Dios te ordenó seguir?”
21 tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
entonces les dirás: “Una vez fuimos esclavos del Faraón en Egipto, pero el Señor por su poder nos sacó de Egipto.
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.
Ante nuestros ojos el Señor hizo señales y milagros increíbles y aterradores sobre Egipto, sobre el Faraón y sobre todo su pueblo.
23 He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
Pero nos sacó de allí para traernos aquí, dándonos este país que les había prometido a nuestros antepasados.
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.
El Señor nos ordenó que guardáramos todas estas leyes y que respetáramos al Señor nuestro Dios, para que siempre estuviéramos seguros y salvos, como lo estamos hoy.
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.’”
Y si observamos cuidadosamente cada uno de estos mandamientos mientras vivimos en la presencia del Señor, como nos instruyó, entonces estaremos en paz con él”.
