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,
“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told 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,
Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
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.
he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
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 have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
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.
He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
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.
Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
7 Yavé tu ʼElohim pondrá todas estas maldiciones sobre tus enemigos, y sobre los que te aborrecen y te persiguieron.
Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
8 Tú volverás a escuchar la voz de Yavé y practicarás todos sus Mandamientos que yo te ordeno hoy.
You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to 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,
Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
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 he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
11 Porque este mandamiento que yo te ordeno hoy no es demasiado difícil para ti, ni está fuera de tu alcance.
The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
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, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
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 on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
14 Sino la Palabra está muy cerca de ti, en tu boca y en tu corazón, para que la cumplas.
[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
15 Ciertamente hoy presento delante de ti la vida y el bien, la muerte y el mal,
So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
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.
[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17 Pero si tu corazón se aparta, no obedeces, te dejas extraviar, y te postras ante otros ʼelohim y les sirves,
But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship 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 am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and 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 am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to 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.
[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
