Deuteronomio 29
1 Estas son las palabras de la alianza que Yahvé ordenó a Moisés que hiciera con los hijos de Israel en la tierra de Moab, además de la alianza que hizo con ellos en Horeb.
These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
2 Moisés llamó a todo Israel y les dijo Vuestros ojos han visto todo lo que Yahvé hizo en la tierra de Egipto a Faraón, y a todos sus siervos, y a toda su tierra;
Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
3 las grandes pruebas que vieron vuestros ojos, las señales y esos grandes prodigios.
You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
4 Pero Yahvé no os ha dado hasta hoy corazón para conocer, ojos para ver y oídos para oír.
But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
5 Te he conducido cuarenta años por el desierto. Tus ropas no se han envejecido en ti, y tus sandalias no se han envejecido en tus pies.
For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
6 No has comido pan, ni has bebido vino o bebida fuerte, para que sepas que yo soy Yahvé, tu Dios.
You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
7 Cuando llegaste a este lugar, Sijón, rey de Hesbón, y Og, rey de Basán, salieron a combatir contra nosotros, y los derrotamos.
“And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
8 Tomamos su tierra y la dimos en herencia a los rubenitas, a los gaditas y a la media tribu de los manasitas.
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Guardad, pues, las palabras de este pacto y ponedlas por obra, para que prosperéis en todo lo que hagáis.
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
10 Todos ustedes están hoy en presencia del Señor, su Dios: vuestros jefes, vuestras tribus, vuestros ancianos y vuestros oficiales, todos los hombres de Israel,
Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
11 vuestros pequeños, vuestras mujeres y los extranjeros que están en medio de vuestros campamentos, desde el que corta vuestra leña hasta el que saca vuestra agua,
your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
12 para que entréis en la alianza de Yahvé vuestro Dios y en su juramento, que Yahvé vuestro Dios hace hoy con vosotros,
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
13 para que os establezca hoy como su pueblo, y para que sea vuestro Dios, como os habló y como juró a vuestros padres, a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob.
[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 No hago este pacto y este juramento sólo con vosotros,
This agreement is not only with you.
15 sino con los que están hoy aquí con nosotros ante Yahvé, nuestro Dios, y también con los que no están hoy aquí con nosotros
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 (porque vosotros sabéis cómo vivíamos en la tierra de Egipto, y cómo pasamos por en medio de las naciones por las que pasasteis;
“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
17 y habéis visto sus abominaciones y sus ídolos de madera, piedra, plata y oro, que había entre ellos);
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
18 no sea que haya entre vosotros un hombre, una mujer, una familia o una tribu cuyo corazón se aparte hoy de Yahvé nuestro Dios para ir a servir a los dioses de esas naciones; no sea que haya entre vosotros una raíz que produzca un veneno amargo;
So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
19 y suceda que cuando oiga las palabras de esta maldición, se bendiga en su corazón diciendo: “Tendré paz, aunque ande en la terquedad de mi corazón”, para destruir lo húmedo con lo seco.
“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
20 Yahvé no lo perdonará, sino que la ira de Yahvé y sus celos humearán contra ese hombre, y caerá sobre él toda la maldición que está escrita en este libro, y Yahvé borrará su nombre de debajo del cielo.
Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
21 Yahvé lo apartará para el mal de entre todas las tribus de Israel, según todas las maldiciones del pacto escritas en este libro de la ley.
From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
22 La generación venidera — tus hijos que se levantarán después de ti, y el extranjero que vendrá de una tierra lejana — dirá, cuando vea las plagas de esa tierra y las enfermedades con que Yahvé la ha enfermado
“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
23 que toda su tierra es azufre, sal y ardor, que no se siembra, no produce, ni crece en ella hierba alguna, como el derrocamiento de Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma y Zeboiim, que Yahvé derrocó en su ira y en su furor.
They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
24 Incluso todas las naciones dirán: “¿Por qué el Señor ha hecho esto a esta tierra? ¿Qué significa el calor de esta gran ira?”
And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
25 Entonces los hombres dirán: “Porque abandonaron la alianza de Yahvé, el Dios de sus padres, que hizo con ellos cuando los sacó de la tierra de Egipto,
“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 y fueron a servir a otros dioses y los adoraron, dioses que no conocían y que él no les había dado.
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
27 Por lo tanto, la ira del Señor se encendió contra esta tierra, para traer sobre ella todas las maldiciones que están escritas en este libro.
So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
28 Yahvé los desarraigó de su tierra con ira, con enojo y con gran indignación, y los arrojó a otra tierra, como sucede hoy.”
Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
29 Las cosas secretas pertenecen a Yahvé, nuestro Dios; pero las cosas reveladas nos pertenecen a nosotros y a nuestros hijos para siempre, para que cumplamos todas las palabras de esta ley.
“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
