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 will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed 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 when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole 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 your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.

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 you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.

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.

And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever 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.

The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.

7 Yavé tu ʼElohim pondrá todas estas maldiciones sobre tus enemigos, y sobre los que te aborrecen y te persiguieron.

And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.

8 Tú volverás a escuchar la voz de Yavé y practicarás todos sus Mandamientos que yo te ordeno hoy.

But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.

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 cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced 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.

but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return 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.

This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed 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?

Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’

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?

Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’

14 Sino la Palabra está muy cerca de ti, en tu boca y en tu corazón, para que la cumplas.

Instead, the word is near to 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,

Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, 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.

so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.

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 will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,

18 yo les declaro hoy que ciertamente perecerán. No prolongarán sus días en la tierra adonde van, para poseerla al pasar el Jordán.

then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.

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,

I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,

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.

and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”
