Deuteronomy 6
1 “These are the precepts and ceremonies, as well as the judgments, which the Lord your God has commanded that I teach to you, which you shall do in the land to which you will travel in order to possess it.
Estos son los mandamientos, los estatutos y los decretos que Yahvé, tu Dios, te ha mandado enseñar, para que los pongas en práctica en la tierra que vas a poseer;
2 So may you fear the Lord your God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I am entrusting to you, and to your sons and grandsons, all the days of your life, so that your days may be prolonged.
para que temas a Yahvé, tu Dios, y guardes todos sus estatutos y sus mandamientos, que yo te mando a ti, a tu hijo y al hijo de tu hijo, todos los días de tu vida, y para que tus días se prolonguen.
3 Listen and observe, O Israel, so that you may do just as the Lord has instructed you, and it may be well with you, and you may be multiplied all the more, for the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.
Escucha, pues, Israel, y procura ponerlo por obra, para que te vaya bien y te multipliques, como Yahvé, el Dios de tus padres, te ha prometido, en una tierra que mana leche y miel.
4 Listen, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.
Escucha, Israel: Yahvé es nuestro Dios. Yahvé es uno.
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.
Amarás a Yahvé vuestro Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con todas tus fuerzas.
6 And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart.
Estas palabras que hoy te ordeno estarán en tu corazón;
7 And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up.
y las enseñarás con diligencia a tus hijos, y hablarás de ellas cuando te sientes en tu casa, cuando andes por el camino, cuando te acuestes y cuando te levantes.
8 And you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes.
Las atarás como señal en tu mano, y serán como frontales entre tus ojos.
9 And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.
Las escribirás en los postes de tu casa y en tus puertas.
10 And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build;
Cuando Yahvé, tu Dios, te lleve a la tierra que juró a tus padres, a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob, que te daría, ciudades grandes y buenas que no construiste,
11 houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;
y casas llenas de todo lo bueno que no llenaste, y cisternas excavadas que no cavaste, viñas y olivos que no plantaste, comerás y te saciarás;
12 and when you will have eaten and been satisfied:
entonces ten cuidado de no olvidarte de Yahvé, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre.
13 take care diligently, lest you forget the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. You shall fear the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone, and you shall swear by his name.
Temerás a Yahvé, tu Dios, y le servirás, y jurarás por su nombre.
14 You shall not go after the strange gods of all the Gentiles, who are around you.
No irás en pos de otros dioses, de los dioses de los pueblos que te rodean,
15 For the Lord your God is a jealous God in your midst. Otherwise, at some time, the fury of the Lord your God may be enraged against you, and he may take you away from the face of the earth.
porque Yahvé vuestro Dios en medio de ti es un Dios celoso, no sea que la ira de Yahvé vuestro Dios se encienda contra ti y te destruya de la faz de la tierra.
16 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the place of temptation.
No tentarás a Yahvé vuestro Dios, como lo tentaste en Masá.
17 Keep the precepts of the Lord your God, as well as the testimonies and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.
Guardarás con diligencia los mandamientos de Yahvé vuestro Dios, sus testimonios y sus estatutos, que él te ha ordenado.
18 And do what is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may be well with you, and so that, when you enter, you may possess the excellent land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers
Harás lo que es justo y bueno a los ojos de Yahvé, para que te vaya bien y entres a poseer la buena tierra que Yahvé juró a tus padres,
19 that he would wipe away all your enemies before you, just as he has spoken.
para echar a todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, como Yahvé ha dicho.
20 And when your son will ask you tomorrow, saying: ‘What do these testimonies and ceremonies and judgments mean, which the Lord our God has entrusted to us?’
Cuando tu hijo te pregunte en el futuro, diciendo: “¿Qué significan los testimonios, los estatutos y las ordenanzas que el Señor, nuestro Dios, te ha ordenado?”
21 You shall say to him: ‘We were servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord led us away from Egypt with a strong hand.
entonces le dirás a tu hijo: “Fuimos esclavos del Faraón en Egipto. Yahvé nos sacó de Egipto con mano poderosa;
22 And he wrought signs and wonders, great and very grievous, in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his house, in our sight.
y Yahvé hizo grandes y asombrosas señales y prodigios sobre Egipto, sobre el Faraón y sobre toda su casa, ante nuestros ojos;
23 And he led us away from that place, so that he might lead us in and give us the land, about which he swore to our fathers.
y nos sacó de allí para introducirnos en ella, para darnos la tierra que juró a nuestros padres.
24 And the Lord instructed us that we should do all these ordinances, and that we should fear the Lord our God, so that it may be well with us all the days of our life, just as it is today.
Yahvé nos mandó hacer todos estos estatutos, para temer a Yahvé nuestro Dios, para nuestro bien siempre, para que nos conserve la vida, como hoy.
25 And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and perform all his precepts, in the sight of the Lord our God, just as he has commanded us.’”
Será justo para nosotros, si observamos poner en práctica todos estos mandamientos delante de Yahvé nuestro Dios, como él nos ha mandado.”
