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 must keep all the commands that I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that Yahweh swore 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.

You will call to mind all the ways that Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order that he might humble you, that he might test you to know what was in your heart, as to whether you would keep his commandments or not.

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.

He humbled you, and made you hunger, and fed you with manna, which you had not known and which your fathers had not known. He did that to make you know that it is not by bread alone that people live; rather, it is by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh that people live.

4 Tu vestido nunca se envejeció sobre ti, ni el pie se te ha hinchado por estos cuarenta años.

Your clothing did not wear out and fall off you, and your feet did not swell up during those forty years.

5 Y sepas en tu corazón, que como castiga el hombre a su hijo, Jehová tu Dios te castiga.

You will think about in your heart, how, as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

6 Guardarás pues los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios andando en sus caminos, y temiéndole.

You will keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, so that you might walk in his ways and honor 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 Yahweh your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out into valleys and among hills;

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, of vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees 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.

It is a land in which you will eat bread without lack, and where you will not go without anything; a land whose stones are made of iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

10 Y comerás y hartarte has, y bendecirás a Jehová tu Dios por la buena tierra que te habrá dado.

You will eat and be full, and you will bless Yahweh your God for the good land that 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:

Be careful that you do not forget Yahweh your God, and that you do not neglect his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes that I am commanding you today,

12 Que quizá no comas y te hartes, y edifiques buenas casas en que mores,

otherwise, when you eat and are full, and when you build good houses and live in them, your heart will be lifted up.

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,

Be careful when your herds and flocks multiply and when your silver and gold increase, and all that you have is multiplied,

14 Y tu corazón se eleve, y te olvides de Jehová tu Dios, que te sacó de tierra de Egipto de casa de siervos:

then your heart becomes lifted up and you forget Yahweh 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:

Do not forget him who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the rock of flint.

16 Que te sustentó con man en el desierto, comida que tus padres no conocieron: afligiéndote, y probándote, para a la postre hacerte bien;

He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your ancestors had never known, so that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end,

17 Y digas en tu corazón: Mi potencia, y la fortaleza de mi mano me ha hecho esta riqueza.

but you may say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand acquired all this 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 will call to mind Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is today.

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.

It will happen that, if you will forget Yahweh your God and walk after other gods, worship them, and reverence them, I testify against you today that you will 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.

Like the nations that Yahweh is making to perish before you, so will you perish, because you would not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
