Deuteronomio 6
1 Estos son, pues, los Mandamientos, los Estatutos y las Ordenanzas que Yavé su ʼElohim ordenó que les enseñara para que los practiquen en la tierra a la cual pasan para poseerla,
And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit it.
2 a fin de que temas a Yavé tu ʼElohim, tú, tu hijo y tu nieto, y guarden todos los días de tu vida todos sus Estatutos y Mandamientos que yo te ordeno para que tus días sean prolongados.
That you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.
3 Oye pues, oh Israel, y cuidarás de hacerlo, como Yavé, el ʼElohim de tus antepasados, te habló para que te vaya bien y te multipliques muchísimo en la tierra que fluye leche y miel.
Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
4 Oye, Israel: Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, Yavé es uno.
Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.
5 Amarás a Yavé tu ʼElohim con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu fuerza.
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.
6 Estas palabras que te ordeno hoy permanecerán sobre tu corazón.
And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.
7 Las inculcarás a tus hijos y hablarás de ellas sentado en tu casa, cuando andes por el camino, al acostarte y al levantarte.
And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
8 Las atarás como señal sobre tu mano, y estarán como frontales entre tus ojos.
And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.
9 Las escribirás en las jambas de tu casa y en tus puertas.
And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
10 Sucederá que cuando Yavé tu ʼElohim te introduzca en la tierra que juró a tus antepasados, a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob, que te daría una tierra que tiene grandes y espléndidas ciudades que tú no edificaste,
And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,
11 con casas llenas de todo bien que tú no llenaste, con pozos excavados que tú no cavaste, y con viñas y olivares que tú no plantaste, y comas y te hartes,
houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
12 guárdate de olvidar a Yavé Quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud.
beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Temerás a Yavé tu ʼElohim. A Él servirás y en su Nombre jurarás.
You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.
14 No seguirán otros ʼelohim, los ʼelohim de los pueblos que los rodean,
Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;
15 porque Yavé tu ʼElohim, Quien mora en medio de ti, es celoso, no sea que el furor de Yavé tu ʼElohim se encienda contra ti y te destruya de sobre la superficie de la tierra.
for the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 No tentarán a Yavé su ʼElohim, como lo tentaron en Masa.
You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.
17 Guarden diligentemente los Mandamientos de Yavé su ʼElohim, sus Testimonios y sus Estatutos que les ordenó.
You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.
18 Harás lo recto y lo bueno ante Yavé para que te vaya bien, y entres y poseas la buena tierra que Yavé prometió con juramento a tus antepasados,
And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,
19 para que Él eche a todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, como Yavé prometió.
to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.
20 Cuando tu hijo te pregunte mañana: ¿Qué significan los Testimonios, los Estatutos y las Ordenanzas que Yavé nuestro ʼElohim les ordenó?
And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?
21 Entonces dirás a tu hijo: Nosotros éramos esclavos de Faraón en Egipto, pero Yavé nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte.
Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.
22 Ante nuestros propios ojos, Yavé hizo señales y grandes prodigios en Egipto contra Faraón y contra toda su casa,
And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.
23 y nos sacó de allá para traernos y darnos la tierra que prometió con juramento a nuestros antepasados.
And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.
24 Yavé nos ordenó practicar todos estos Estatutos y temer a Yavé nuestro ʼElohim para que siempre nos vaya bien y para que nos conserve la vida, como sucede hoy.
And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.
25 Será justicia para nosotros si tenemos el cuidado de cumplir todo este Mandamiento delante de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, tal como Él nos ordenó.
And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
