Deuteronomio 8

1 CUIDARÉIS de poner por obra todo mandamiento que yo os ordeno hoy, porque viváis, y seáis multiplicados, y entréis, y poseáis la tierra, de la cual juró Jehová á 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 ó no sus mandamientos.

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 te afligió, é hízote tener hambre, y te sustentó con maná, [comida] que no conocías tú, ni tus padres la habían conocido; 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 Reconoce asimismo en tu corazón, que como castiga el hombre á su hijo, así 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 temiéndolo.

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 introduce en la buena tierra, tierra de arroyos, de aguas, de fuentes, de abismos que brotan por vegas y 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, é 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 escasez, 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 te hartarás, y bendecirás á 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 observar sus mandamientos, y sus derechos, y sus estatutos, que yo te ordeno 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 se eleve luego tu corazón, 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 ningún agua había, y él te sacó agua de la roca 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 maná en el desierto, [comida] que tus padres no habían conocido, afligiéndote y probándote, para á 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 poder y la fortaleza de mi mano me han traído esta riqueza.

but you may say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand acquired all this wealth.'

18 Antes acuérdate de Jehová tu Dios: porque él te da el poder para hacer las riquezas, á fin de confirmar su pacto que juró á tus padres, como 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 Mas será, si llegares á olvidarte de Jehová tu Dios, y anduvieres en pos de dioses ajenos, y les sirvieres, y á ellos te encorvares, protésto[lo] hoy contra vosotros, que de cierto 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 atendido á 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.
