Deuteronomio 30
1 Ocurrirá que, cuando hayan caído sobre ti todas estas cosas, la bendición y la maldición, que he puesto delante de ti, y las recuerdes entre todas las naciones a las que Yahvé vuestro Dios te ha expulsado,
“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
2 y vuelvas a Yahvé vuestro Dios y obedezcas su voz según todo lo que hoy te ordeno, tú y tus hijos, con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma,
Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
3 que entonces Yahvé vuestro Dios te liberará del cautiverio, tendrá compasión de ti, y volverá y te reunirá de todos los pueblos donde Yahvé vuestro Dios te ha dispersado.
he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
4 Si tus desterrados están en los confines de los cielos, de allí te reunirá Yahvé vuestro Dios, y de allí te hará volver.
Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
5 El Señor, tu Dios, te llevará a la tierra que poseyeron tus padres, y la poseerás. Te hará un bien y aumentará tu número más que el de tus padres.
He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
6 El Señor, tu Dios, circuncidará tu corazón y el de tu descendencia, para que ames al Señor, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma, para que vivas.
Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
7 Yahvé vuestro Dios pondrá todas estas maldiciones sobre tus enemigos y sobre los que te odian, que te persiguen.
Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
8 Volverás y obedecerás la voz de Yahvé, y pondrás en práctica todos sus mandatos que hoy te ordeno.
You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
9 Yahvé vuestro Dios te hará prosperar en toda la obra de tu mano, en el fruto de tu cuerpo, en el fruto de tu ganado y en el fruto de tu tierra, para bien; porque Yahvé volverá a alegrarse de ti para bien, como se alegró de tus padres,
Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
10 si obedeces la voz de Yahvé vuestro Dios, para guardar sus mandamientos y sus estatutos que están escritos en este libro de la ley, si te vuelves a Yahvé vuestro Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma.
[But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
11 Porque este mandamiento que hoy os ordeno no es demasiado duro para vosotros ni demasiado lejano.
The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
12 No está en el cielo, para que digáis: “¿Quién subirá por nosotros al cielo, nos lo traerá y nos lo proclamará para que lo cumplamos?”
They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
13 Tampoco está más allá del mar, para que digáis: “¿Quién irá por nosotros al mar, nos lo traerá y nos lo anunciará para que lo hagamos?”
And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
14 Pero la palabra está muy cerca de ti, en tu boca y en tu corazón, para que la cumplas.
[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
15 He aquí que hoy he puesto ante vosotros la vida y la prosperidad, y la muerte y el mal.
So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
16 Porque hoy te ordeno que ames a Yahvé, tu Dios, que sigas sus caminos y guardes sus mandamientos, sus estatutos y sus ordenanzas, para que vivas y te multipliques, y para que Yahvé, tu Dios, te bendiga en la tierra a la que entras a poseer.
[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17 Pero si vuestro corazón se aparta y no queréis escuchar, sino que os dejáis arrastrar y adoráis a otros dioses y les servís,
But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
18 Yo os declaro hoy que pereceréis. No prolongaréis vuestros días en la tierra donde paséis el Jordán para entrar a poseerla.
I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
19 Llamo a los cielos y a la tierra para que sean testigos hoy de que he puesto ante ustedes la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la maldición. Elige, pues, la vida, para que vivas tú y tu descendencia,
I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
20 para amar a Yahvé vuestro Dios, para obedecer su voz y para aferrarte a él; porque él es tu vida y la duración de tus días, para que habites en la tierra que Yahvé juró a tus padres, a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob, que les daría.
[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
