Deuteronomio 32
1 Escuchad, cielos, y yo hablaré. Que la tierra escuche las palabras de mi boca.
“Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
2 Mi doctrina caerá como la lluvia. Mi discurso se condensará como el rocío, como la lluvia brumosa sobre la hierba tierna, como las duchas sobre la hierba.
I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
3 Porque proclamaré el nombre de Yahvé. ¡Atribuye la grandeza a nuestro Dios!
I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
4 La Roca: su trabajo es perfecto, porque todos sus caminos son justos. Un Dios de fidelidad que no se equivoca, justo y correcto es él.
He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
5 Han hecho un trato corrupto con él. No son sus hijos, por su defecto. Son una generación perversa y torcida.
“But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
6 ¿Es esta la forma en que pagas a Yahvé, ¿Gente tonta e imprudente? ¿No es tu padre quien te ha comprado? Él te ha hecho y te ha establecido.
You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
7 Recuerda los días de antaño. Considera los años de muchas generaciones. Pregúntale a tu padre, y él te lo mostrará; a tus mayores, y ellos te lo dirán.
“Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
8 Cuando el Altísimo dio a las naciones su herencia, cuando separó a los hijos de los hombres, fijó los límites de los pueblos según el número de los hijos de Israel.
When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
9 Porque la porción de Yahvé es su pueblo. Jacob es el lote de su herencia.
But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
10 Lo encontró en una tierra desierta, en el desierto de los aullidos. Lo rodeó. Se preocupó por él. Lo mantuvo como la niña de sus ojos.
“He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
11 Como un águila que agita su nido, que revolotea sobre sus crías, extendió sus alas, los tomó, los llevaba en sus plumas.
[Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
12 Sólo Yahvé lo guió. No había ningún dios extranjero con él.
Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
13 Lo hizo cabalgar sobre las alturas de la tierra. Se comió la cosecha del campo. Le hizo chupar la miel de la roca, aceite de la roca pedernal;
“[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
14 la mantequilla del rebaño, y la leche del rebaño, con grasa de cordero, carneros de la raza de Basán, y cabras, con el más fino de los trigos. De la sangre de la uva, bebisteis vino.
The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
15 Pero Jeshurun engordó y pataleó. Has engordado. Has crecido en grosor. Te has vuelto elegante. Entonces abandonó a Dios que lo hizo, y rechazó la Roca de su salvación.
“The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
16 Le provocaron celos con dioses extraños. Lo provocaron a la ira con abominaciones.
So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
17 Sacrificaban a los demonios, no a Dios, a dioses que no conocían, a los nuevos dioses que surgieron recientemente, que sus padres no temían.
They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
18 De la Roca que se convirtió en tu padre, no te acuerdas, y has olvidado a Dios que te dio a luz.
They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
19 Yahvé vio y abominó, a causa de la provocación de sus hijos e hijas.
“When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
20 Dijo: “Les ocultaré mi rostro. Veré cuál será su final; porque son una generación muy perversa, hijos en los que no hay fidelidad.
He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
21 Me han movido a celos con lo que no es Dios. Me han provocado la ira con sus vanidades. Los moveré a celos con los que no son un pueblo. Los provocaré a la ira con una nación insensata.
They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
22 Porque un fuego se enciende en mi ira, que arde hasta el más bajo Sheol, devora la tierra con su aumento, y hace arder los cimientos de las montañas. (Sheol h7585)
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Les amontonaré males. Gastaré mis flechas en ellos.
I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
24 Se consumirán de hambre, y devorado con calor ardiente y amarga destrucción. Enviaré los dientes de los animales sobre ellos, con el veneno de las víboras que se deslizan en el polvo.
They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
25 Fuera de la espada se desgarrará, y en las habitaciones, el terror tanto en el joven como en la virgen, el bebé lactante con el hombre canoso.
Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
26 Dije que los dispersaría a lo lejos. Yo haría que su memoria cesara entre los hombres;
I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
27 si no temiera la provocación del enemigo, para que sus adversarios no juzguen mal, para que no digan: “Nuestra mano es exaltada”; Yahvé no ha hecho todo esto’”.
But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
28 Porque son una nación vacía de consejo. No hay comprensión en ellos.
You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
29 Oh, que fueran sabios, que entendieran esto, ¡que consideren su último fin!
If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
30 Cómo podría uno perseguir a mil, y dos pusieron en fuga a diez mil, a menos que su Roca los haya vendido, y Yahvé los había entregado?
[You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
31 Porque su roca no es como la nuestra, incluso nuestros enemigos lo reconocen.
Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
32 Porque su vid es de la vid de Sodoma, de los campos de Gomorra. Sus uvas son uvas venenosas. Sus racimos son amargos.
Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
33 Su vino es el veneno de las serpientes, el cruel veneno de los áspides.
the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
34 “¿No está esto guardado en la tienda conmigo, ¿encerrado entre mis tesoros?
[“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
35 Mía es la venganza y la recompensa, en el momento en que su pie se desliza, porque se acerca el día de su calamidad. Su perdición se precipita sobre ellos”.
I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
36 Porque Yahvé juzgará a su pueblo, y tenga compasión de sus siervos, cuando vea que su poder ha desaparecido, que no queda nadie, encerrado o suelto.
“But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
37 Él dirá: “¿Dónde están sus dioses? la roca en la que se refugiaron,
Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
38 que comían la grasa de sus sacrificios, y bebieron el vino de su libación? ¡Que se levanten y te ayuden! Deja que sean tu protección.
You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
39 “Mira ahora que yo mismo soy él. No hay ningún dios conmigo. Yo mato y hago vivir. Hiero y curo. No hay nadie que pueda liberar de mi mano.
“But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
40 Porque alzo mi mano al cielo y declaro, ya que vivo para siempre,
I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
41 si afilo mi reluciente espada, mi mano la agarra para juzgarla; Me vengaré de mis adversarios, y pagará a los que me odian.
that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Embriagaré mis flechas con sangre. Mi espada devorará la carne con la sangre de los muertos y de los cautivos, de la cabeza de los líderes del enemigo”.
I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
43 Alegraos, naciones, con su pueblo, porque vengará la sangre de sus siervos. Se vengará de sus adversarios, y expiará su tierra y su pueblo.
“You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
44 Moisés vino y pronunció todas las palabras de este cántico a oídos del pueblo, él y Josué hijo de Nun.
Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
45 Moisés terminó de recitar todas estas palabras a todo Israel.
When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
46 Les dijo: “Pongan su corazón en todas las palabras que yo les testifico hoy, las cuales mandarán a sus hijos a cumplir, todas las palabras de esta ley.
Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
47 Porque no es cosa vana para vosotros, porque es vuestra vida, y por medio de esto prolongaréis vuestros días en la tierra, donde pasáis el Jordán para poseerla.”
These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
48 Yahvé habló a Moisés aquel mismo día, diciendo:
On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
49 “Sube a este monte de Abarim, al monte Nebo, que está en la tierra de Moab, que está al otro lado de Jericó; y mira la tierra de Canaán, que yo doy a los hijos de Israel en posesión.
“Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
50 Muere en el monte al que subas, y sé reunido con tu pueblo, como murió Aarón, tu hermano, en el monte Hor, y fue reunido con su pueblo;
You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
51 porque delinquiste contra mí entre los hijos de Israel en las aguas de Meribá de Cades, en el desierto de Zin; porque no defendiste mi santidad entre los hijos de Israel.
You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
52 Porque veréis la tierra desde lejos; pero no entraréis allí en la tierra que yo doy a los hijos de Israel.”
[When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
