Deuteronomio 8
1 Todo mandamiento, que yo os mando hoy, guardaréis para hacer lo, porque viváis, y seáis multiplicados; y entréis y heredéis la tierra de la cual juró Jehová a vuestros padres.
You shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you today, that you may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.
2 Y acordarte has de todo el camino, por donde te ha traído Jehová tu Dios estos cuarenta años en el desierto para afligirte, por probarte para saber lo que estaba en tu corazón, si habías de guardar sus mandamientos, o no.
And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you in the wilderness, that he might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep his commandments or no.
3 Y afligióte, e hízote haber hambre, y sustentóte con man, comida que no conociste tú, ni tus padres la conocieron; para hacerte saber, que el hombre no vivirá de solo pan, mas de todo lo que sale de la boca de Jehová vivirá el hombre.
And he afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that he might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
4 Tu vestido nunca se envejeció sobre ti, ni el pie se te ha hinchado por estos cuarenta años.
Your garments grew not old from off you, your shoes were not worn from off you, your feet were not [painfully] hardened, behold! these forty years.
5 Y sepas en tu corazón, que como castiga el hombre a su hijo, Jehová tu Dios te castiga.
And you shall know in your heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord your God will chasten you.
6 Guardarás pues los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios andando en sus caminos, y temiéndole.
And you shall keep the commands of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Porque Jehová tu Dios te mete en la buena tierra, tierra de arroyos, de aguas, de fuentes, de abismos que salen por vegas, y por montes:
For the Lord your God will bring you into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:
8 Tierra de trigo, y cebada, y de vides, e higueras, y granados; tierra de olivas, de aceite, y de miel:
a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
9 Tierra en la cual no comerás el pan con mezquindad: no te faltará nada en ella: tierra que sus piedras son hierro, y de sus montes cortarás metal.
a land on which you shall not eat your bread with poverty, and you shall not lack any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains you shall dig brass.
10 Y comerás y hartarte has, y bendecirás a Jehová tu Dios por la buena tierra que te habrá dado.
And you shall eat and be filled, and shall bless the Lord your God on the good land, which he has given you.
11 Guárdate, que no te olvides de Jehová tu Dios, para no guardar sus mandamientos, y sus derechos, y sus estatutos, que yo te mando hoy:
Take heed to yourself that you forget not the Lord your God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgements, and ordinances, which I command you this day:
12 Que quizá no comas y te hartes, y edifiques buenas casas en que mores,
lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;
13 Y tus vacas y tus ovejas se aumenten, y la plata y el oro se te multiplique, y todo lo que tuvieres, se te aumente,
and your oxen and your sheep are multiplied to you, and your silver and your gold are multiplied to you, and all your possessions are multiplied to you,
14 Y tu corazón se eleve, y te olvides de Jehová tu Dios, que te sacó de tierra de Egipto de casa de siervos:
you should be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
15 Que te hizo caminar por un desierto grande y espantoso, de serpientes ardientes, y de escorpiones, y de sed, donde ninguna agua había, y él te sacó agua de la peña del pedernal:
who brought you through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:
16 Que te sustentó con man en el desierto, comida que tus padres no conocieron: afligiéndote, y probándote, para a la postre hacerte bien;
who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that he might afflict you, and thoroughly try you, and do you good in your latter days.
17 Y digas en tu corazón: Mi potencia, y la fortaleza de mi mano me ha hecho esta riqueza.
Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.
18 Antes te acuerdes de Jehová tu Dios; porque él te da la potencia para hacer las riquezas, para confirmar su concierto, que juró a tus padres: como parece en este día.
But you shall remember the Lord your God, that he gives you strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to your fathers, as at this day.
19 Y será, que si olvidándote te olvidares de Jehová tu Dios, y anduvieres en pos de dioses ajenos, y les sirvieres, y te encorvares a ellos; yo protesto contra vosotros hoy que pereciendo pereceréis.
And it shall come to pass if you do at all forget the Lord your God, and should go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall surely perish.
20 Como las gentes que Jehová destruirá delante de vosotros así pereceréis, por cuanto no habréis oído la voz de Jehová vuestro Dios.
As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall you perish, because you listened not to the voice of the Lord your God.
