Deuteronomio 27
1 Moisés y los ancianos de Israel ordenaron al pueblo diciendo: “Guarden todo el mandamiento que hoy les ordeno.
Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
2 El día en que pases el Jordán a la tierra que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da, levantarás grandes piedras y las cubrirás con yeso.
[Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
3 En ellas escribirás todas las palabras de esta ley, cuando hayas pasado, para entrar en la tierra que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da, una tierra que fluye leche y miel, como Yahvé, el Dios de tus padres, te ha prometido.
4 Cuando hayas cruzado el Jordán, colocarás estas piedras que hoy te ordeno en el monte Ebal, y las cubrirás con yeso.
5 Allí construirás un altar a Yahvé, tu Dios, un altar de piedras. No usarás ninguna herramienta de hierro en ellas.
And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
6 Construirás el altar del Señor, tu Dios, con piedras sin cortar. En él ofrecerás holocaustos al Señor, tu Dios.
The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
7 Sacrificarás ofrendas de paz y comerás en él. Te alegrarás ante el Señor, tu Dios.
And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
8 Escribirás en las piedras todas las palabras de esta ley con toda claridad.”
And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
9 Moisés y los sacerdotes levitas hablaron a todo Israel diciendo: “¡Cállate y escucha, Israel! Hoy te has convertido en el pueblo de Yahvé, tu Dios.
Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
10 Por lo tanto, obedecerás la voz de Yahvé, tu Dios, y pondrás en práctica sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que yo te ordeno hoy.”
So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
11 Ese mismo día Moisés ordenó al pueblo diciendo:
On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
12 “Estos se pondrán en el monte Gerizim para bendecir al pueblo, cuando hayáis cruzado el Jordán: Simeón, Leví, Judá, Isacar, José y Benjamín.
“After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
13 Estos estarán en el monte Ebal para la maldición: Rubén, Gad, Aser, Zabulón, Dan y Neftalí.
And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
14 Los levitas dirán en voz alta a todos los hombres de Israel:
