Levítico 26

1 “‘No os haréis ídolos, y no levantaréis imagen tallada ni columna, y no pondréis en vuestra tierra ninguna piedra labrada para inclinaros ante ella, porque yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios.

[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.

2 “‘Guardarán mis sábados y tendrán reverencia por mi santuario. Yo soy Yahvé.

“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].

3 “‘Si andáis en mis estatutos y guardáis mis mandamientos, y los ponéis en práctica,

“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],

4 entonces os daré vuestras lluvias a su tiempo, y la tierra dará sus frutos, y los árboles del campo darán sus frutos.

I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.

5 Tu trilla continuará hasta la vendimia, y la vendimia continuará hasta el tiempo de la siembra. Comerás tu pan en abundancia y habitarás tu tierra con seguridad.

You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.

6 “‘Daré paz en la tierra, y os acostaréis, y nadie os hará temer. Quitaré de la tierra los animales malignos, y la espada no pasará por tu tierra.

“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.

7 Perseguiréis a vuestros enemigos, y caerán ante vosotros a espada.

You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:

8 Cinco de vosotros perseguirán a cien, y cien de vosotros perseguirán a diez mil; y vuestros enemigos caerán ante vosotros a espada.

Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.

9 “‘Te respetaré, te haré fructificar, te multiplicaré y estableceré mi pacto contigo.

“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.

10 Comerás las provisiones viejas guardadas durante mucho tiempo, y desplazarás lo viejo a causa de lo nuevo.

When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.

11 Pondré mi tienda entre vosotros, y mi alma no os abominará.

I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.

12 Caminaré en medio de ustedes y seré su Dios, y ustedes serán mi pueblo.

I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.

13 Yo soy el Señor, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto para que no fueras su esclavo. He roto las barras de tu yugo y te he hecho caminar erguido.

I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”

14 “‘Pero si no me escuchas, y no pones en práctica todos estos mandamientos,

“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,

15 y si rechazas mis estatutos, y si tu alma aborrece mis ordenanzas, de modo que no pongas en práctica todos mis mandamientos, sino que rompas mi pacto,

and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,

16 yo también te haré esto: Pondré sobre ti el terror, la tisis y la fiebre, que consumirán los ojos y harán que el alma se consuma. Sembrarás tu semilla en vano, pues tus enemigos la comerán.

these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.

17 Pondré mi rostro contra ti, y serás golpeado ante tus enemigos. Los que te odian se enseñorearán de ti; y huirás cuando nadie te persiga.

I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.

18 “‘Si a pesar de estas cosas no me escuchas, entonces te castigaré siete veces más por tus pecados.

“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.

19 Romperé la soberbia de tu poder, y haré que tu cielo sea como el hierro, y tu tierra como el bronce.

I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].

20 Tu fuerza se gastará en vano, porque tu tierra no dará su cosecha, ni los árboles de la tierra darán su fruto.

You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.

21 “‘Si andas en contra de mí y no me escuchas, entonces traeré sobre ti siete veces más plagas según tus pecados.

“If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.

22 Enviaré entre vosotros animales salvajes que os robarán vuestros hijos, destruirán vuestro ganado y os harán escasos. Vuestros caminos quedarán desolados.

I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.

23 “‘Si por estas cosas no os volvéis a mí, sino que camináis en contra de mí,

“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,

24 entonces yo también caminaré en contra de vosotros; y os golpearé, yo mismo, siete veces por vuestros pecados.

I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.

25 Traeré sobre vosotros una espada que ejecutará la venganza del pacto. Seréis reunidos en vuestras ciudades, y enviaré la peste entre vosotros. Seréis entregados a la mano del enemigo.

I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.

26 Cuando rompa vuestro báculo de pan, diez mujeres cocerán vuestro pan en un solo horno, y volverán a entregar vuestro pan por peso. Comerás y no te saciarás.

When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.

27 “‘Si a pesar de esto no me escuchas, sino que andas en contra de mí,

“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,

28 entonces andaré en contra de ti con ira. También te castigaré siete veces por tus pecados.

I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.

29 Comerás la carne de tus hijos, y comerás la carne de tus hijas.

[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.

30 Destruiré vuestros lugares altos, derribaré vuestros altares de incienso y arrojaré vuestros cadáveres sobre los cuerpos de vuestros ídolos, y mi alma os abominará.

I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.

31 Asolaré vuestras ciudades, y pondré en desolación vuestros santuarios. No me deleitaré con la dulce fragancia de vuestras ofrendas.

I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].

32 Pondré la tierra en desolación, y tus enemigos que la habitan se asombrarán de ella.

I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].

33 Te dispersaré entre las naciones, y sacaré la espada tras de ti. Vuestra tierra será una desolación, y vuestras ciudades serán un desierto.

I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.

34 Entonces la tierra disfrutará de sus sábados mientras esté desolada y ustedes estén en la tierra de sus enemigos. Incluso entonces la tierra descansará y disfrutará de sus sábados.

After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.

35 Mientras yazca desolada tendrá descanso, el descanso que no tuvo en tus sábados cuando vivías en ella.

All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.

36 “‘En cuanto a los que quedan, enviaré un desfallecimiento en sus corazones en las tierras de sus enemigos. El sonido de una hoja al caer los pondrá en fuga; y huirán, como se huye de la espada. Caerán cuando nadie los persiga.

“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.

37 Tropezarán unos con otros, como ante la espada, cuando nadie los perseguía. No tendrán fuerza para resistir ante sus enemigos.

You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.

38 Perecerás entre las naciones. La tierra de vuestros enemigos os devorará.

Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].

39 Los que queden de vosotros se consumirán en su iniquidad en las tierras de vuestros enemigos; y también en las iniquidades de sus padres se consumirán con ellos.

And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.

40 “‘Si confiesan su iniquidad y la iniquidad de sus padres, en la transgresión que cometieron contra mí; y también que porque anduvieron en contra de mí,

“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,

41 yo también anduve en contra de ellos, y los llevé a la tierra de sus enemigos; si entonces su corazón incircunciso se humilla, y entonces aceptan el castigo de su iniquidad,

42 entonces me acordaré de mi pacto con Jacob, de mi pacto con Isaac, y también de mi pacto con Abraham; y me acordaré de la tierra.

I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.

43 La tierra también será abandonada por ellos, y disfrutará de sus sábados mientras yace desolada sin ellos; y aceptarán el castigo de su iniquidad porque rechazaron mis ordenanzas, y su alma aborreció mis estatutos.

But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].

44 Sin embargo, cuando estén en la tierra de sus enemigos, no los rechazaré ni los aborreceré para destruirlos por completo y para romper mi pacto con ellos, porque yo soy el Señor, su Dios.

But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.

45 Pero me acordaré por ellos del pacto de sus antepasados, a quienes saqué de la tierra de Egipto a la vista de las naciones, para ser su Dios. Yo soy Yahvé”.

I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”

46 Estos son los estatutos, ordenanzas y leyes que Yahvé estableció entre él y los hijos de Israel en el monte Sinaí por medio de Moisés.

Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
