Deuteronomio 28
1 Y será, que si oyendo oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios para guardar, para hacer todos sus mandamientos que yo te mando hoy, también Jehová tu Dios te pondrá alto sobre todas las gentes de la tierra.
“If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
2 Y vendrán sobre ti todas estas bendiciones, y alcanzarte han, cuando oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios.
If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
3 Bendito serás tú en la ciudad, y bendito tú en el campo.
He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
4 Bendito el fruto de tu vientre, y el fruto de tu tierra, y el fruto de tu bestia: la cria de tus vacas, y los rebaños de tus ovejas.
He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.

6 Bendito serás en tu entrar, y bendito serás en tu salir.
He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
7 Dará Jehová tus enemigos, que se levantaren contra ti, heridos delante de ti: por un camino saldrán a ti, y por siete caminos huirán delante de ti.
Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
8 Enviará Jehová contigo a la bendición en tus cilleros, y en todo aquello en que pusieres tu mano, y bendecirte ha en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.
Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
9 Confirmarte ha Jehová por pueblo santo suyo como te ha jurado, cuando guardares los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, y anduvieres en sus caminos.
“If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
10 Y verán todos los pueblos de la tierra, que el nombre de Jehová es llamado sobre ti, y temerte han.
“When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
11 Y hacerte ha Jehová que te sobre el bien en el fruto de tu vientre, y en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, sobre la tierra que juró Jehová a tus padres que te había de dar.
“And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
12 Abrirte ha Jehová su buen cillero, el cielo, para dar lluvia a tu tierra en su tiempo, y para bendecir toda obra de tus manos: y prestarás a muchas gentes, y tú no tomarás emprestado.
“When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
13 Y ponerte ha Jehová por cabeza, y no por cola: y serás encima solamente, y no serás debajo, cuando obedecieres a los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, que yo te mando hoy para que guardes y hagas.
If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
14 Y no te apartes de todas las palabras que yo os mando hoy, a diestra ni a siniestra, para ir tras dioses ajenos para servirles.
[Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
15 Y será si no oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar, para hacer todos sus mandamientos, y sus estatutos, que yo te mando hoy, vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones, y alcanzarte han.
But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
16 Maldito serás tú en la ciudad, y maldito tú en el campo.
He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
17 Maldito tu canastillo, y tus sobras.

19 Maldito serás en tu entrar, y maldito en tu salir.
He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
20 Y Jehová enviará en ti la maldición, quebranto y asombramiento en todo cuanto pusieres mano e hicieres, hasta que seas destruido, y perezcas presto a causa de la maldad de tus obras por las cuales me habrás dejado.
If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
21 Jehová hará que se te pegue mortandad hasta que te consuma de la tierra, a la cual entras para heredarla.
Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.

Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
23 Y tus cielos, que están sobre tu cabeza, serán de metal; y la tierra que está debajo de ti, de hierro.
There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
24 Dará Jehová por lluvia a tu tierra polvo y ceniza; de los cielos descenderá sobre ti hasta que perezcas.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.

Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
26 Y será tu cuerpo muerto por comida a toda ave del cielo, y bestia de la tierra, y no habrá quien las espante.
[You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
27 Jehová te herirá de la plaga de Egipto y con almorranas, y con sarna, y con comezón de que no puedas ser curado.
Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
28 Jehová te herirá con locura y con ceguedad, y con pasmo de corazón.
Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.

30 Desposarte has con mujer, y otro varón dormirá con ella: edificarás casa, y no habitarás en ella: plantarás viña, y no la profanarás.
Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
31 Tu buey será matado delante de tus ojos, y tú no comerás de él: tu asno será robado de delante de ti, y no volverá a ti: tus ovejas serán dadas a tus enemigos, y no tendrás quien te salve.
Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
32 Tus hijos y tus hijas serán entregados a otro pueblo, y tus ojos lo verán, y desfallecerán por ellos todo el día: y no habrá fuerza en tu mano.
While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).

“You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
46 Y serán en ti por señal y por milagro, y en tu simiente para siempre:
“These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
47 Por cuanto no serviste a Jehová tu Dios con alegría y con bondad de corazón por la abundancia de todas las cosas.
“Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.

“Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of you.
49 Jehová traerá sobre ti gente de lejos, del cabo de la tierra, que vuele como águila, gente cuya lengua no entiendas;
“Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.

They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.

They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
52 Y ponerte ha cerco en todas tus ciudades, hasta que caigan tus muros altos y encastillados, en que tú confías, en toda tu tierra: y cercarte ha en todas tus ciudades y en toda tu tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te dió.
Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect you.
53 Y comerás el fruto de tu vientre, la carne de tus hijos y de tus hijas, que Jehová tu Dios te dió, en el cerco y en la angustia con que te angustiará tu enemigo.
“When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
54 El hombre tierno en ti y el muy delicado, su ojo será maligno para con su hermano, y para con la mujer de su seno, y para con el resto de sus hijos, que le quedaren;
When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
55 Para no dar a alguno de ellos de la carne de sus hijos, que el comerá, porque no le habrá quedado en el cerco, y en la apretura con que tu enemigo te apretará en todas tus ciudades.
56 La tierna en ti y la delicada, que nunca la planta de su pie probó a estar sobre la tierra de ternura y delicadez, su ojo será maligno para con el marido de su seno, y para con su hijo y para con su hija,
Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
57 Y para con su chiquita que sale de entre sus pies, y para con sus hijos que pariere, que los comerá escondidamente con necesidad de todas las cosas en el cerco y en la apretura con que tu enemigo te apretará en tus ciudades.
58 Si no guardares para hacer todas las palabras de aquesta ley, que están escritas en este libro, temiendo este nombre glorioso y terrible: Jehová tu Dios;
“If you do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
59 Jehová hará maravillosas tus plagas, y las plagas de tu simiente, plagas grandes, y firmes; y enfermedades malas y firmes:
he will [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
60 Y hará volver en ti todos los dolores de Egipto delante de los cuales temiste, y pegarse han en ti.
He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
61 Asimismo toda enfermedad y toda plaga, que no está escrita en el libro de esta ley, Jehová la enviará sobre ti, hasta que tú seas destruido.
He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
62 Y quedaréis en pocos varones, en lugar de haber sido como las estrellas del cielo en multitud: por cuanto no obedeciste a la voz de Jehová tu Dios.
You became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
63 Y será, que de la manera que Jehová se gozó sobre vosotros, para haceros bien, y para multiplicaros, así se gozará Jehová, sobre vosotros para echaros a perder, y para destruiros: y seréis arrancados de sobre la tierra a la cual entráis para poseerla.
Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
64 Y esparcirte ha Jehová por todos los pueblos desde el un cabo de la tierra hasta el otro cabo de la tierra: y allí servirás a dioses ajenos que no conociste tú ni tus padres, al palo y a la piedra.
“Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
65 Y ni aun en las mismas gentes reposarás, ni la planta de tu pie tendrá reposo: que allí te dará Jehová corazón temeroso y caimiento de ojos, y tristeza de alma.
In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
66 Y tendrás tu vida colgada delante, y estarás temeroso de noche y de día, y no confiarás de tu vida:
You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
67 Por la mañana dirás: ¿Quién diese la tarde? y a la tarde dirás: ¿Quién diese la mañana? del miedo de tu corazón con que estarás amedrentado, y de lo que verán tus ojos.
Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
68 Y Jehová te hará tornar a Egipto en navíos, por el camino del cual te ha dicho: Nunca más volverás: y allí seréis vendidos a vuestros enemigos por esclavos y por esclavas, y no habrá quien os compre.
Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
