Deuteronomio 27
1 Moisés con los ancianos de Israel, dio esta orden al pueblo: “Guardad todo el mandamiento que hoy os prescribo.
And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day.
2 Cuando hayas pasado el Jordán para entrar en el país que Yahvé, tu Dios, te va a dar, levantarás unas grandes piedras que revocarás con cal,
And it shall come to pass in the day when you shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall plaster them with plaster.
3 y escribirás sobre ellas todas las palabras de esta ley, pasado que hayas (el Jordán) para entrar en la tierra que Yahvé, tu Dios, te dará, tierra que mana leche y miel, como Yahvé, el Dios de tus padres, te lo tiene prometido.
And you shall write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon as you have crossed Jordan, when you are entered into the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of your fathers said to you.
4 Cuando, pues, hayas pasado el Jordán levantaréis estas piedras, como os mando hoy, en el monte Ebal, y las revocaréis con cal.
And it shall be as soon as you are gone over Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount Gaebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
5 Erigirás allí un altar a Yahvé, tu Dios, un altar de piedras, a las que no haya tocado instrumento de hierro.
And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up iron upon it.
6 De piedras toscas harás ese altar para Yahvé, tu Dios, y ofrecerás en él holocaustos a Yahvé, tu Dios.
Of whole stones shall you build an altar to the Lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole burnt offerings to the Lord your God.
7 Ofrecerás sacrificios pacíficos; y comerás allí y te regocijarás en presencia de Yahvé, Dios tuyo.
And you shall there offer a peace-offering; and you shall eat and be filled, and rejoice before the Lord your God.
8 Escribirás sobre las piedras todas las palabras de esta ley en forma bien clara.”
And you shall write upon the stones all this law very plainly.
9 Entonces Moisés, con los sacerdotes levitas, habló a todo Israel, diciendo: “Guarda silencio y escucha, oh Israel. Hoy has sido constituido pueblo de Yahvé, Dios tuyo.
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel; this day you are become a people to the Lord your God.
10 Escucha, pues, la voz de Yahvé, tu Dios, y cumple sus mandamientos y sus leyes que hoy te prescribo.”
And you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall do all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command you this day.
11 En aquel día, Moisés mandó al pueblo, diciendo:
And Moses charged the people on that day, saying,
12 “Pasado que hayáis el Jordán, se pondrán sobre el monte Garizim, para bendecir al pueblo estas (tribus): Simeón, Leví, Judá, Isacar, José y Benjamín.
These shall stand to bless the people on mount Garizin having gone over Jordan; Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 Y para maldecir se pondrán sobre el monte Ebal las siguientes (tribus): Rubén, Gad, Aser, Zabulón, Dan y Neftalí.
And these shall stand for cursing on mount Gaebal; Ruben, Gad, and Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Nephthali.
14 Entonces los levitas tomarán la palabra, y en voz alta dirán a todos los hombres de Israel:
And the Levites shall answer and say to all Israel with a loud voice,
