Deuteronomio 30
1 Sucederá que cuando lleguen sobre ti todas estas cosas, la bendición y la maldición que acabo de presentar delante de ti, y tú cambies de mente en medio de todas las naciones adonde te esparza Yavé tu ʼElohim,
Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,
2 regreses a Yavé tu ʼElohim, y obedezcas su voz, conforme a todo lo que yo te mando hoy, tú y tus hijos, con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma,
And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:
3 entonces Yavé hará volver tu cautividad y tendrá misericordia de ti. Volverá a recogerte de entre los pueblos adonde Yavé tu ʼElohim te esparció.
Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.
4 Aunque tus desterrados estén en lo más lejano debajo del cielo, desde allí te recogerá Yavé tu ʼElohim, y desde allí te regresará.
Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;
5 Yavé tu ʼElohim te volverá a traer a la tierra que poseyeron tus antepasados, y tú la poseerás. Él te hará bien y te multiplicará más que a tus antepasados.
Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.
6 Yavé tu ʼElohim circuncidará tu corazón y el corazón de tus descendientes para que ames a Yavé tu ʼElohim con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma, a fin de que vivas.
And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.
7 Yavé tu ʼElohim pondrá todas estas maldiciones sobre tus enemigos, y sobre los que te aborrecen y te persiguieron.
And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.
8 Tú volverás a escuchar la voz de Yavé y practicarás todos sus Mandamientos que yo te ordeno hoy.
And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.
9 Yavé tu ʼElohim te hará abundar en toda obra de tu mano, el fruto de tu vientre, el fruto de tu ganado y el producto de tu tierra. Porque Yavé volverá a deleitarse en ti para bien, como se deleitó en tus antepasados,
And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:
10 si tú obedeces la voz de Yavé tu ʼElohim para guardar sus Mandamientos y sus Estatutos que están escritos en el rollo de esta Ley, porque te volviste a Yavé tu ʼElohim con todo tu corazón y toda tu alma.
If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 Porque este mandamiento que yo te ordeno hoy no es demasiado difícil para ti, ni está fuera de tu alcance.
For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.
12 No está en el cielo, para que digas: ¿Quién subirá por nosotros al cielo, y nos lo traerá y nos lo hará oír para que lo cumplamos?
They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?
13 Ni está al otro lado del mar, para que digas: ¿Quién pasará el mar por nosotros y nos lo traerá para que lo escuchemos a fin de que lo cumplamos?
And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?
14 Sino la Palabra está muy cerca de ti, en tu boca y en tu corazón, para que la cumplas.
But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
15 Ciertamente hoy presento delante de ti la vida y el bien, la muerte y el mal,
See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;
16 porque hoy te mando que ames a Yavé tu ʼElohim, que andes en sus caminos y guardes sus Mandamientos, Estatutos y Decretos, a fin de que vivas y te multipliques, para que Yavé tu ʼElohim te bendiga en la tierra adonde entras para poseerla.
In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.
17 Pero si tu corazón se aparta, no obedeces, te dejas extraviar, y te postras ante otros ʼelohim y les sirves,
But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:
18 yo les declaro hoy que ciertamente perecerán. No prolongarán sus días en la tierra adonde van, para poseerla al pasar el Jordán.
I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.
19 A los cielos y a la tierra llamo hoy como testigos contra ustedes con respecto a que les presenté delante la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la maldición. Escoge, pues, la vida para que vivas, tú y tus descendientes,
Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:
20 que ames a Yavé tu ʼElohim, escuches su voz y seas fiel a Él. Porque Él es tu vida y la prolongación de tus días para que vivas en la tierra que Yavé juró dar a tus antepasados, Abraham, Isaac y Jacob.
In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
