Deuteronomio 27
1 Y mandó Moisés, con los ancianos de Israel, al pueblo, diciendo: Guardaréis todos los mandamientos que yo os mando hoy.
Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
2 Y será que, el día que pasaréis el Jordán a la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, te has de levantar piedras grandes, las cuales revocarás con cal;
[Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
3 y escribirás en ellas todas las palabras de esta ley, cuando hubieres pasado para entrar en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, tierra que fluye leche y miel, como el SEÑOR el Dios de tus padres te ha dicho.
4 Será, pues, cuando hubieres pasado el Jordán, que levantaréis estas piedras que yo os mando hoy, en el monte de Ebal, y las revocarás con cal;
5 y edificarás allí altar al SEÑOR tu Dios, altar de piedras; no alzarás sobre ellas herramienta de hierro.
And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
6 De piedras enteras edificarás el altar del SEÑOR tu Dios; y ofrecerás sobre él holocaustos al SEÑOR tu Dios;
The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
7 y ofrecerás sacrificios de paz, y comerás allí; y te alegrarás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios.
And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
8 Y escribirás en las piedras todas las palabras de esta ley muy claramente.
And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
9 Y Moisés, con los sacerdotes levitas, habló a todo Israel, diciendo: Atiende y escucha, Israel: hoy eres hecho pueblo del SEÑOR tu Dios.
Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
10 Oirás, pues, la voz del SEÑOR tu Dios, y cumplirás sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que yo te mando hoy.
So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
11 Y mandó Moisés al pueblo en aquel día, diciendo:
On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
12 Estos estarán sobre el monte de Gerizim para bendecir al pueblo, cuando hubiereis pasado el Jordán: Simeón, y Leví, y Judá, e Isacar, y José y Benjamín.
“After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
13 Y éstos estarán para pronunciar la maldición en el monte de Ebal: Rubén, Gad, y Aser, y Zabulón, Dan, y Neftalí.
And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
14 Y hablarán los levitas, y dirán a todo varón de Israel en alta voz:
The descendants of Levi must shout these words loudly:
