Deuteronomio 30

1 Y será que, cuando te vinieren todas estas cosas, la bendición y la maldición que he puesto delante de ti, y volvieres a tu corazón en medio de todos los gentiles a las cuales el SEÑOR tu Dios te echare,

“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 y te convirtieres al SEÑOR tu Dios, y oyeres 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 el SEÑOR también volverá tu cautividad, y tendrá misericordia de ti, y volverá a recogerte de todos los pueblos a los cuales te hubiere esparcido el SEÑOR tu Dios.

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 Si hubieres sido arrojado hasta el extremo de los cielos, de allí te recogerá el SEÑOR tu Dios, y de allá te tomará;

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 y te volverá el SEÑOR tu Dios a la tierra que heredaron tus padres, y la heredarás; y te hará bien, y te multiplicará más que a tus padres.

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 Y circuncidará el SEÑOR tu Dios tu corazón, y el corazón de tu simiente, para que ames al SEÑOR tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma, a fin de que tú 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 Y pondrá el SEÑOR tu Dios todas estas maldiciones sobre tus enemigos, y sobre tus aborrecedores que 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 Y tú volverás, y oirás la voz del SEÑOR, y pondrás por obra todos sus mandamientos, que yo te mando 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 Y te hará el SEÑOR tu Dios abundar en toda obra de tus manos, en el fruto de tu vientre, en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, para bien; porque el SEÑOR se convertirá para gozarse sobre ti para bien, de la manera que se gozó sobre tus padres;

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 cuando oyeres la voz del SEÑOR tu Dios, para guardar sus mandamientos y sus estatutos escritos en este libro de la ley; cuando te convirtieres al SEÑOR tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con 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 mando hoy, no te es encubierto, ni está lejos.

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 tomará y nos lo recitará, 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 por nosotros el mar, para que nos lo tome y nos lo recite, 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 Porque muy cerca de ti está la palabra, 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 Mira, yo he puesto delante de ti hoy 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 yo te mando hoy que ames al SEÑOR tu Dios, que andes en sus caminos, y guardes sus mandamientos y sus estatutos y sus derechos, para que vivas y seas multiplicado, y el SEÑOR tu Dios te bendiga en la tierra a la cual entras para heredarla.

[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 Mas si tu corazón se apartare, y no oyeres, y fueres incitado, y te inclinares a dioses ajenos, y les sirvieres;

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 os protesto hoy que de cierto pereceréis; no tendréis largos días sobre la tierra, para ir a la cual pasas el Jordán para que la heredes.

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 por testigos hoy contra vosotros, que os he puesto delante la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la maldición; escoge, pues, la vida, para que vivas tú y tu simiente;

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 al SEÑOR tu Dios, que oigas su voz, y te allegues a él; porque él es tu vida, y la longitud de tus días; a fin de que habites sobre la tierra que juró el SEÑOR a tus padres Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, que les había de dar.

[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.”
