Deuteronomio 29

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Moisés convocó a todo Israel y les dijo: Vosotros visteis todo lo que Yahveh hizo a vuestros propios ojos en Egipto con Faraón, sus siervos y todo su país:	1 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord instructed Moses to form with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, beside that covenant which he struck with them at Horeb.
2 las grandes pruebas que tus mismos ojos vieron, aquellas señales, aquellos grandes prodigios.	2 And Moses called all of Israel, and he said to them: “You have seen all the things that the Lord has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his entire land:
3 Pero hasta el día de hoy no os había dado Yahveh corazón para entender, ojos para ver, ni oídos para oír.	3 the great trials, which your eyes have seen, those immense signs and wonders.
4 Durante cuarento años os he hecho caminar por el desierto, sin que se hayan gastado los vestidos sobre vosotros ni las sandalias en tus pies.	4 But the Lord has not given you an understanding heart, and seeing eyes, and ears that are able to hear, even to this present day.
5 No habéis tenido pan que comer, ni vino o licor fermentado que beber, para que supierais que yo, Yahveh, soy vuestro Dios.	5 He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.
6 Luego llegasteis a este lugar. Sijón, rey de Jesbón, y Og, rey de Basán, salieron a nuestro encuentro para hacernos la guerra, pero los derrotamos.	6 You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.
7 Conquistamos su país, y se lo dimos en heredad a Rubén, a Gad y a la media tribu de Manasés.	7 And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.
8 Guardad, pues, las palabras de esta alianza y ponedlas en práctica, para que tengáis éxito en todas vuestras empresas.	8 And we took their land and delivered it as a possession to Ruben and to Gad, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Aqui estáis hoy todos vosotros en presencia de Yahveh vuestro Dios: vuestros jefes de tribu, vuestros ancianos y vuestros escribas, todos los hombres de Israel,	9 Therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and fulfill them, so that you may understand all that you are doing.
10 con vuestros hijos y vuestras mujeres (y también el forastero que está en tu campamento, desde tu leñador hasta tu aguador),	10 Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,
11 a punto de entrar en la alianza de Yahveh tu Dios, jurada con imprecación, que Yahveh tu Dios concluye hoy contigo	11 your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,
12 para hacer hoy de ti su pueblo y ser él tu Dios como te ha dicho y como juró a tus padres Abraham, Isaac y Jacob.	12 so that you may cross into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into the oath which the Lord your God strikes with you today.
13 Y no solamente con vosotros hago yo hoy esta alianza y esta imprecación,	13 So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 sino que la hago tanto con quien está hoy aquí con nosotros en presencia de Yahveh nuestro Dios como con quien no está hoy aquí con nosotros.	14 And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,
15 Pues vosotros sabéis cómo vivíamos en Egipto, y cómo hemos pasado por las naciones por las que habéis pasado.	15 but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.
16 Habéis visto sus monstruos abominables y los ídolos de madera y de piedra, de plata y de oro que hay entre ellos.	16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations. And when passing through them,
17 No haya entre vosotros hombre o mujer, familia o tribu, cuyo corazón se aparte hoy de Yahveh vuestro Dios para ir a servir a los dioses de esas naciones. No haya entre vosotros raíz que eche veneno o ajenjo.	17 you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,
18 Si alguien, después de haber oído las palabras de esta imprecación, se las promete felices en su corazón diciendo: «Aunque me conduzca en la terquedad de mi corazón, todo me irá bien, puesto que la abundancia de agua quitará la sed»,	18 so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.
19 Yahveh no se avendrá a perdonarle. Porque la ira y el celo de Yahveh se encenderán contra ese hombre, toda la imprecación escrita en este libro caerá sobre él, y Yahveh borrará su nombre de debajo de los cielos.	19 And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.
20 Yahveh le separará de todas las tribus de Israel, para su desgracia, conforme a todas las imprecaciones de la alianza escrita en el libro de esta Ley.	20 But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him. And the Lord would abolish his name from under heaven,
21 La generación futura, vuestros hijos que vendrán después de vosotros, así como el extranjero llegado de un país lejano, verán las plagas de esta tierra y las enfermedades con que Yahveh la castigará, y exclamarán:	21 and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.
22 «Azufre, sal, calcinación es su tierra entera; no se sembrará ni germinará ni hierba alguna crecerá en ella, como en la catástrofe de Sodoma y Gomorra, Admá y Seboyím, que Yahveh asoló en su ira y su furor».	22 And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,
23 Y todas las naciones preguntarán: «¿Por qué ha tratado así Yahveh a esta tierra? ¿Por qué el ardor de tan gran ira?»	23 having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.
24 Y se dirá: «Porque han abandonado la alianza que Yahveh, Dios de sus padres, había concluido con ellos al sacarlos del país de Egipto;	24 And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’
25 porque se han ido a servir a otros dioses y se han postrado ante ellos, dioses que no conocían y que él no les había dado en suerte.	25 And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.
26 Por eso se ha encendido la ira de Yahveh contra este país y ha traído sobre él toda la maldición escrita en este libro.	26 And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.
27 Yahveh los ha arrancado de su suelo con ira, furor y gran indignación, y los ha arrojado a otro país donde hoy están».	27 For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.
28 Las cosas secretas pertenecen a Yahveh nuestro Dios, pero las cosas reveladas nos atañen a nosotros y a nuestros hijos para siempre, a fin de que pongamos en práctica todas las palabras de esta Ley.	28 And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’
	29 These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”
