Deuteronomy 8

1 “All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers.

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.

2 And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.

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.

3 He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.

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.

4 Your garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,

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

5 so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.

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

6 So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.

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

7 For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,

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:

8 a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.

Tierra de trigo, y cebada, y de vides, e higueras, y granados; tierra de olivas, de aceite, y de miel:

9 In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.

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.

10 So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to you.

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

11 Be observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.

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:

12 Otherwise, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,

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

13 and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,

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,

14 your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,

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

15 and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,

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:

16 and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.

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

17 Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’

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

18 But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.

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.

19 But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly perish.

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.

20 Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.”

Como las gentes que Jehová destruirá delante de vosotros así pereceréis, por cuanto no habréis oído la voz de Jehová vuestro Dios.
