Deuteronomy 28
1 “So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth.
Y será, que si oyendo oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios para guardar, para hacer todos sus mandamientos que yo te mando hoy, también Jehová tu Dios te pondrá alto sobre todas las gentes de la tierra.
2 And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts.
Y vendrán sobre ti todas estas bendiciones, y alcanzarte han, cuando oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field.
Bendito serás tú en la ciudad, y bendito tú en el campo.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep.
Bendito el fruto de tu vientre, y el fruto de tu tierra, y el fruto de tu bestia: la cria de tus vacas, y los rebaños de tus ovejas.
5 Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses.
Bendito tu canastillo, y tus sobras.
6 Blessed shall you be entering and departing.
Bendito serás en tu entrar, y bendito serás en tu salir.
7 The Lord will grant that your enemies, who rise up against you, will fall down in your sight. They will come against you by one way, and they will flee from your face by seven ways.
Dará Jehová tus enemigos, que se levantaren contra ti, heridos delante de ti: por un camino saldrán a ti, y por siete caminos huirán delante de ti.
8 The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.
Enviará Jehová contigo a la bendición en tus cilleros, y en todo aquello en que pusieres tu mano, y bendecirte ha en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.
9 The Lord will raise you up as a holy people for himself, just as he swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.
Confirmarte ha Jehová por pueblo santo suyo como te ha jurado, cuando guardares los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, y anduvieres en sus caminos.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord has been invoked over you, and they shall fear you.
Y verán todos los pueblos de la tierra, que el nombre de Jehová es llamado sobre ti, y temerte han.
11 The Lord will cause you to be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you.
Y hacerte ha Jehová que te sobre el bien en el fruto de tu vientre, y en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, sobre la tierra que juró Jehová a tus padres que te había de dar.
12 The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone.
Abrirte ha Jehová su buen cillero, el cielo, para dar lluvia a tu tierra en su tiempo, y para bendecir toda obra de tus manos: y prestarás a muchas gentes, y tú no tomarás emprestado.
13 And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them,
Y ponerte ha Jehová por cabeza, y no por cola: y serás encima solamente, y no serás debajo, cuando obedecieres a los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, que yo te mando hoy para que guardes y hagas.
14 and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.
Y no te apartes de todas las palabras que yo os mando hoy, a diestra ni a siniestra, para ir tras dioses ajenos para servirles.
15 But if you are not willing to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day, all these curses shall come to you, and take hold of you.
Y será si no oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar, para hacer todos sus mandamientos, y sus estatutos, que yo te mando hoy, vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones, y alcanzarte han.
16 Cursed shall you be in the city, cursed in the field.
Maldito serás tú en la ciudad, y maldito tú en el campo.
17 Cursed shall be your barn, and cursed your storehouses.
Maldito tu canastillo, y tus sobras.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.
Maldito el fruto de tu vientre, y el fruto de tu tierra, y la cria de tus vacas, y los rebaños de tus ovejas.
19 Cursed shall you be entering, and cursed departing.
Maldito serás en tu entrar, y maldito en tu salir.
20 The Lord will send famine and hunger upon you, and a rebuke upon all the works that you do, until he quickly crushes and perishes you, because of your very wicked innovations, by which you have forsaken me.
Y Jehová enviará en ti la maldición, quebranto y asombramiento en todo cuanto pusieres mano e hicieres, hasta que seas destruido, y perezcas presto a causa de la maldad de tus obras por las cuales me habrás dejado.
21 May the Lord join a pestilence to you, until he consumes you from the land, which you shall enter so as to possess.
Jehová hará que se te pegue mortandad hasta que te consuma de la tierra, a la cual entras para heredarla.
22 May the Lord strike you with destitution, with fever and cold, with burning and heat, and with polluted air and rot, and may he pursue you until you perish.
Jehová te herirá de tísica, y de fiebre, y de ardor, y de calor, y de espada, y de hidropesía, y de ictericia; y perseguirte han hasta que perezcas.
23 May the heavens which are above you be of brass, and may the ground upon which you tread be of iron.
Y tus cielos, que están sobre tu cabeza, serán de metal; y la tierra que está debajo de ti, de hierro.
24 May the Lord give you dust instead of rain upon your land, and may ashes descend from heaven over you, until you have been wiped away.
Dará Jehová por lluvia a tu tierra polvo y ceniza; de los cielos descenderá sobre ti hasta que perezcas.
25 May the Lord hand you over to fall before your enemies. May you go forth against them by one way, and flee by seven ways, and may you be scattered across all the kingdoms of the earth.
Jehová te dará herido delante de tus enemigos: por un camino saldrás a ellos, y por siete caminos huirás delante de ellos: y serás por estremecimiento a todos los reinos de la tierra.
26 And may your carcass be food for all the flying things of the air and the wild beasts of the land, and may there be no one to drive them away.
Y será tu cuerpo muerto por comida a toda ave del cielo, y bestia de la tierra, y no habrá quien las espante.
27 May the Lord strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, and may he strike the part of your body, through which the dung goes out, with disease as well as itch, so much so that you are unable to be cured.
Jehová te herirá de la plaga de Egipto y con almorranas, y con sarna, y con comezón de que no puedas ser curado.
28 May the Lord strike you with frenzy and blindness and a madness of the mind.
Jehová te herirá con locura y con ceguedad, y con pasmo de corazón.
29 And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.
Y palparás al mediodía como palpa el ciego en la oscuridad, y no serás prosperado en tus caminos y nunca serás sino oprimido y robado todos los días, y no habrá quien te salve.
30 May you take a wife, though another sleeps with her. May you build a house, but not live within it. May you plant a vineyard, and not gather its vintage.
Desposarte has con mujer, y otro varón dormirá con ella: edificarás casa, y no habitarás en ella: plantarás viña, y no la profanarás.
31 May your ox be immolated before you, though you do not eat from it. May your donkey be seized in your sight, and not restored to you. May your sheep be given to your enemies, and may there be no one who may help you.
Tu buey será matado delante de tus ojos, y tú no comerás de él: tu asno será robado de delante de ti, y no volverá a ti: tus ovejas serán dadas a tus enemigos, y no tendrás quien te salve.
32 May your sons and your daughters be handed over to another people, as your eyes watch and languish at the sight of them throughout the day, and may there be no strength in your hand.
Tus hijos y tus hijas serán entregados a otro pueblo, y tus ojos lo verán, y desfallecerán por ellos todo el día: y no habrá fuerza en tu mano.
33 May a people you do not know eat the fruits of your land and of all your labors. And may you continually suffer from slander and oppression every day.
El fruto de tu tierra y todo tu trabajo comerá pueblo que no conociste: y nunca serás sino oprimido y quebrantado todos los días.
34 And may you be stupefied at the terror of the things your eyes will see.
Y enloquecerás a causa de lo que verás con tus ojos.
35 May the Lord strike you with a very grievous ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and may you be unable to attain health, from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.
Herirte ha Jehová con mala sarna en las rodillas y en las piernas, que no puedas ser curado, desde la planta de tu pie hasta tu mollera.
36 May the Lord lead you and your king, whom you will have appointed over yourself, into a nation which you and your fathers have not known. And there you will serve foreign gods, of wood and of stone.
Jehová llevará a ti y a tu rey, que hubieres puesto sobre ti, a gente que no conociste tú ni tus padres; y allá servirás a dioses ajenos, al palo y a la piedra.
37 And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.
Y serás por pasmo, por ejemplo y por fábula a todos los pueblos, a los cuales Jehová te llevará.
38 You will sow much seed upon the ground, but you will harvest little. For the locusts will devour everything.
Sacarás mucha simiente a la tierra, y cogerás poco; porque la langosta lo consumirá.
39 You will dig and plant a vineyard, but you will not drink the wine, nor gather anything at all from it. For it will be devastated by worms.
Plantarás viñas y labrarás; mas no beberás vino, ni cogerás, porque el gusano lo comerá.
40 You will have olive trees in all your borders, but you will not be anointed with the oil. For the olives will fall off and perish.
Tendrás olivas en todo tu término, mas no te ungirás con el aceite: porque tu aceituna se caerá.
41 You will conceive sons and daughters, and you will not enjoy them. For they will be led into captivity.
Hijos e hijas engendrarás, y no serán para ti, porque irán en cautiverio.
42 Rot will consume all the trees, as well as the fruits of your land.
Toda tu arboleda y el fruto de tu tierra consumirá la langosta.
43 The new arrival who lives with you in the land will ascend over you, and be higher. But you will descend, and be lower.
El extranjero que estará en medio de ti subirá sobre ti encima, encima: y tú descenderás abajo, abajo.
44 He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him. He will be as the head, and you will be as the tail.
El te prestara a ti, y tú no prestarás a él: él será por cabeza, y tú serás por cola.
45 And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.
Y vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones, y perseguirte han, y alcanzarte han hasta que perezcas: por cuanto no habrás oído a la voz de Jehová tu Dios guardando sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que él te mandó.
46 And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.
Y serán en ti por señal y por milagro, y en tu simiente para siempre:
47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.
Por cuanto no serviste a Jehová tu Dios con alegría y con bondad de corazón por la abundancia de todas las cosas.
48 You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.
Y servirás a tus enemigos, que Jehová enviare contra ti, con hambre, y con sed, y con desnudez, y con falta de todas las cosas: y él pondrá yugo de hierro sobre tu cuello hasta destruirte.
49 The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:
Jehová traerá sobre ti gente de lejos, del cabo de la tierra, que vuele como águila, gente cuya lengua no entiendas;
50 a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.
Gente fiera de rostro, que no alzará el rostro al viejo, ni perdonará al niño.
51 And he will devour the fruit of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, until you have passed away, without leaving behind you wheat, or wine, or oil, or herds of oxen, or flocks of sheep: until he utterly destroys you.
Y comerá el fruto de tu bestia y el fruto de tu tierra, hasta que perezcas: y no te dejará grano, ni mosto, ni aceite, ni la cria de tus vacas, ni los rebaños de tus ovejas hasta destruirte.
52 And he will crush you in all your cities. And your strong and lofty walls, in which you trusted, will be destroyed throughout all your land. You will be besieged within your gates throughout all your land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
Y ponerte ha cerco en todas tus ciudades, hasta que caigan tus muros altos y encastillados, en que tú confías, en toda tu tierra: y cercarte ha en todas tus ciudades y en toda tu tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te dió.
53 And you will eat the fruit of your womb, and the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the Lord your God will give to you, due to the anguish and devastation with which your enemy will oppress you.
Y comerás el fruto de tu vientre, la carne de tus hijos y de tus hijas, que Jehová tu Dios te dió, en el cerco y en la angustia con que te angustiará tu enemigo.
54 The man who is pampered and very self-indulgent among you will vie with his own brother, and with the wife who lies at his bosom,
El hombre tierno en ti y el muy delicado, su ojo será maligno para con su hermano, y para con la mujer de su seno, y para con el resto de sus hijos, que le quedaren;
55 lest he give to them from the flesh of his sons, which he will eat. For he has nothing else due to the siege and the destitution, with which your enemies will devastate you within all your gates.
Para no dar a alguno de ellos de la carne de sus hijos, que el comerá, porque no le habrá quedado en el cerco, y en la apretura con que tu enemigo te apretará en todas tus ciudades.
56 The tender and pampered woman, who would not walk upon the soil, nor step firmly with her foot due to her very great softness and tenderness, will vie with her husband, who lies at her bosom, over the flesh of son and of daughter,
La tierna en ti y la delicada, que nunca la planta de su pie probó a estar sobre la tierra de ternura y delicadez, su ojo será maligno para con el marido de su seno, y para con su hijo y para con su hija,
57 and over the filth of the afterbirth, which goes forth from between her thighs, and over the children who are born in the same hour. For they will eat them secretly, due to the scarcity of all things during the siege and the devastation, with which your enemy will oppress you within your gates.
Y para con su chiquita que sale de entre sus pies, y para con sus hijos que pariere, que los comerá escondidamente con necesidad de todas las cosas en el cerco y en la apretura con que tu enemigo te apretará en tus ciudades.
58 If you will not keep and do all the words of this law, which have been written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name, that is, the Lord your God,
Si no guardares para hacer todas las palabras de aquesta ley, que están escritas en este libro, temiendo este nombre glorioso y terrible: Jehová tu Dios;
59 then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.
Jehová hará maravillosas tus plagas, y las plagas de tu simiente, plagas grandes, y firmes; y enfermedades malas y firmes:
60 And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.
Y hará volver en ti todos los dolores de Egipto delante de los cuales temiste, y pegarse han en ti.
61 In addition, the Lord will lead over you all the diseases and plagues that are not written in the volume of this law, until he crushes you.
Asimismo toda enfermedad y toda plaga, que no está escrita en el libro de esta ley, Jehová la enviará sobre ti, hasta que tú seas destruido.
62 And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
Y quedaréis en pocos varones, en lugar de haber sido como las estrellas del cielo en multitud: por cuanto no obedeciste a la voz de Jehová tu Dios.
63 And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
Y será, que de la manera que Jehová se gozó sobre vosotros, para haceros bien, y para multiplicaros, así se gozará Jehová, sobre vosotros para echaros a perder, y para destruiros: y seréis arrancados de sobre la tierra a la cual entráis para poseerla.
64 The Lord will disperse you among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth to its furthest limits. And there you will serve foreign gods of wood and of stone, which you and your fathers did not know.
Y esparcirte ha Jehová por todos los pueblos desde el un cabo de la tierra hasta el otro cabo de la tierra: y allí servirás a dioses ajenos que no conociste tú ni tus padres, al palo y a la piedra.
65 Similarly, you will not have tranquility, even within those nations, nor will there be any rest for the steps of your feet. For the Lord will give to you in that place a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a life consumed with grieving.
Y ni aun en las mismas gentes reposarás, ni la planta de tu pie tendrá reposo: que allí te dará Jehová corazón temeroso y caimiento de ojos, y tristeza de alma.
66 And your life will be as if it were hanging before you. You will be afraid night and day, and you will not have confidence in your own life.
Y tendrás tu vida colgada delante, y estarás temeroso de noche y de día, y no confiarás de tu vida:
67 In the morning you will say, ‘Who will grant evening to me?’ and at evening, ‘Who will grant morning to me?’ because of the dread of your heart, with which you will be terrified, and because of those things that you will see with your eyes.
Por la mañana dirás: ¿Quién diese la tarde? y a la tarde dirás: ¿Quién diese la mañana? del miedo de tu corazón con que estarás amedrentado, y de lo que verán tus ojos.
68 The Lord will lead you back into Egypt with a fleet of ships, along the way, about which he said to you that you would not see it again. In that place, you will be put up for sale as men and women servants to your enemies, but there will be no one willing to buy you.”
Y Jehová te hará tornar a Egipto en navíos, por el camino del cual te ha dicho: Nunca más volverás: y allí seréis vendidos a vuestros enemigos por esclavos y por esclavas, y no habrá quien os compre.
