Deuteronomio 29
1 Estas son las Palabras del Pacto que Yavé mandó a Moisés que celebrara con los hijos de Israel en la tierra de Moab, además del Pacto que estableció 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 convocó a todo Israel y les dijo: Ustedes vieron todo lo que Yavé hizo ante sus ojos en la tierra de Egipto, a Faraón, a todos sus esclavos 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 sus ojos, las señales y los 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 hasta hoy Yavé no les dio corazón para entender, ni ojos para mirar, ni oídos para escuchar.
But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
5 Yo los conduje por el desierto 40 años. Sus ropas no se desgastaron sobre ustedes, y su sandalia no se desgastó en su pie.
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 comieron pan, ni bebieron vino ni licor, para que sepan que Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim.
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 llegaron a este lugar, Sehón, rey de Hesbón, y Og, rey de Basán, salieron contra nosotros para luchar, 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 como heredad a Rubén, Gad, y la media tribu de Manasés.
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Así que guarden las Palabras de este Pacto y practíquenlas para que prosperen en todo lo que hagan.
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
10 Hoy todos ustedes están delante de Yavé su ʼElohim: los jefes de sus tribus, ancianos, oficiales y 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 sus pequeños y esposas, y el extranjero que está dentro de su campamento, desde el leñador hasta el aguador,
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 entres en el Pacto con Yavé tu ʼElohim, y en su juramento que Yavé tu ʼElohim hace hoy contigo,
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
13 para confirmarte hoy como pueblo suyo, y que Él sea tu ʼElohim tal como te habló a ti y como juró a tus antepasados: Abraham, Isaac y 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 solo con ustedes hago este Pacto y este juramento.
This agreement is not only with you.
15 Ciertamente lo hago con los que están aquí con nosotros hoy en presencia de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim y también con los que no están aquí con nosotros hoy.
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 Porque ustedes saben cómo estuvimos en la tierra de Egipto, cómo pasamos en medio de las naciones por las cuales pasaron,
“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 vieron sus repugnancias y sus ídolos de palo, piedra, plata y oro que tienen consigo.
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
18 No sea que esté entre ustedes un hombre o una mujer, una familia o tribu, cuyo corazón se aparte hoy de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim para ir a servir a los ʼelohim de esas naciones. No sea que esté entre ustedes una raíz que produzca hiel y ajenjo,
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 al oír las palabras de esta imprecación, se congratule en su corazón y diga: Tendré paz, aunque ande en la obstinación de mi corazón, para destruir lo regado 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 Yavé no estará dispuesto a perdonarlo, sino la ira de Yavé y su celo arderán contra aquel hombre. Todas las maldiciones escritas en este rollo caerán sobre él, y Yavé 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 Yavé lo apartará para mal de entre todas las tribus de Israel conforme a todas las maldiciones del Pacto escrito en el rollo de esta 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 De manera que cuando la generación venidera de sus hijos que se levanten después de ustedes y los extranjeros que lleguen de tierras lejanas, al ver las plagas de esa tierra y las enfermedades con las cuales la aflija Yavé, digan:
“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 ¡Toda su tierra está quemada con azufre y sal! ¡No hay siembra ni germinación! ¡El pasto no crece en ella, como en la destrucción de Sodoma y Gomorra, de Adma y de Zeboim, que Yavé destruyó 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 Todas las naciones dirán: ¿Por qué Yavé trató así a esta tierra? ¿Qué significa el ardor de esta enorme 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 Se les responderá: Porque abandonaron el Pacto de Yavé, el ʼElohim de sus antepasados, que Él 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 fueron y sirvieron a otros ʼelohim y se inclinaron ante ellos, ʼelohim que no conocieron, los cuales Él no les asignó.
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
27 Por eso la ira de Yavé ardió contra esta tierra para traer sobre ella todas las maldiciones escritas en este rollo,
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 y con ira, furor y gran indignación, Yavé los desarraigó de su propia tierra y los echó en otra tierra, como se ve 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 Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, pero las reveladas son para nosotros y nuestros hijos para siempre, a fin de 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.”
