Deuteronomio 32
1 ESCUCHAD, cielos, y hablaré; y oiga la tierra los dichos de mi boca.
Give ear, you heavens, and let me speak. Let the earth listen to the words of my mouth.
2 Goteará como la lluvia mi doctrina; destilará como el rocío mi razonamiento; como la llovizna sobre la grama, y como las gotas sobre la hierba:
Let my teaching drop down like the rain, let my speech distill like the dew, like the gentle rain on the tender grass, and like the showers on the plants.
3 Porque el nombre de Jehová invocaré: engrandeced á nuestro Dios.
For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh, and ascribe greatness to our God.
4 [El es] la Roca, cuya obra es perfecta, porque todos sus caminos son rectitud: Dios de verdad, y ninguna iniquidad en él: es justo y recto.
The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his paths are just. He is the faithful God, without iniquity. He is just and upright.
5 La corrupción no [es] suya: á sus hijos la mancha de ellos, generación torcida y perversa.
They have acted corruptly against him. They are not his children. It is their disgrace. They are a perverted and crooked generation.
6 ¿Así pagáis á Jehová, pueblo loco é ignorante? ¿no es él tu padre que te poseyó? él te hizo y te ha organizado.
Do you reward Yahweh in this way, you foolish and senseless people? Is he not your father, the one who has created you? He made you and established you.
7 Acuérdate de los tiempos antiguos; considerad los años de generación y generación: pregunta á tu padre, que él te declarará; á tus viejos, y ellos te dirán.
Call to mind the days of ancient times, think about the years of many ages past. Ask your father and he will show you, your elders and they will tell you.
8 Cuando el Altísimo hizo heredar á las gentes, cuando hizo dividir los hijos de los hombres, estableció los términos de los pueblos según el número de los hijos de Israel.
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance— when he divided all of mankind, and he set the boundaries of the peoples, as he also fixed the number of their gods.
9 Porque la parte de Jehová es su pueblo; Jacob la cuerda de su heredad.
For Yahweh's portion is his people; Jacob is his apportioned inheritance.
10 Hallólo en tierra de desierto, y en desierto horrible y yermo; trájolo alrededor, instruyólo, guardólo como la niña de su ojo.
He found him in a desert land, and in the barren and howling wilderness; he shielded him and cared for him, he guarded him as the apple of his eye.
11 Como el águila despierta su nidada, revolotea sobre sus pollos, extiende sus alas, los toma, los lleva sobre sus plumas:
As an eagle that guards her nest and flutters over her young, Yahweh spread out his wings and took them, and carried them on his pinions.
12 Jehová solo le guió, que no hubo con él dios ajeno.
Yahweh alone led him; no foreign god was with him.
13 Hízolo subir sobre las alturas de la tierra, y comió los frutos del campo, é hizo que chupase miel de la peña, y aceite del duro pedernal;
He made him ride on high places of the land, and he fed him the fruits of the field; he nourished him with honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty crag.
14 Manteca de vacas y leche de ovejas, con grosura de corderos, y carneros de Basán; también machos de cabrío, con grosura de riñones de trigo: y sangre de uva bebiste, vino puro.
He ate butter from the herd and drank milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with the finest of the wheat— and you drank foaming wine made from the juice of grapes.
15 Y engrosó Jeshurun, y tiró coces: engordástete, engrosástete, cubrístete: y dejó al Dios que le hizo, y menospreció la Roca de su salud.
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— you grew fat, you were too fat, and you had eaten your fill— he abandoned the God who made him, and he rejected the Rock of his salvation.
16 Despertáronle á celos con los [dioses] ajenos; ensañáronle con abominaciones.
They made Yahweh jealous by their strange gods; with their abominations they angered him.
17 Sacrificaron á los diablos, no á Dios; á dioses que no habían conocido, á nuevos [dioses] venidos de cerca, que no habían temido vuestros padres.
They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
18 De la Roca que te crió te olvidaste: te has olvidado del Dios tu criador.
You have deserted the Rock, who became your father, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 Y vió[lo] Jehová, y encendióse en ira, por el menosprecio de sus hijos y de sus hijas.
Yahweh saw this and he rejected them, because his sons and his daughters provoked him so.
20 Y dijo: Esconderé de ellos mi rostro, veré cuál será su postrimería: que son generación de perversidades, hijos sin fe.
“I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and I will see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
21 Ellos me movieron á celos con lo que no es Dios; hiciéronme ensañar con sus vanidades: yo también los moveré á celos con [un pueblo que] no [es] pueblo, con gente insensata los haré ensañar.
They have made me jealous by what is not god and angered me by their worthless things. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; by a foolish nation I will make them angry.
22 Porque fuego se encenderá en mi furor, y arderá hasta el profundo; y devorará la tierra y sus frutos, y abrasará los fundamentos de los montes. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire is kindled by my anger and is burning to the lowest Sheol; it is devouring the earth and its harvest; it is setting on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Yo allegaré males sobre ellos; emplearé en ellos mis saetas.
I will heap disasters on them; I will shoot all my arrows at them;
24 Consumidos [serán] de hambre, y comidos de fiebre ardiente y de amarga pestilencia; diente de bestias enviaré también sobre ellos, con veneno de serpiente de la tierra.
They will be wasted by hunger and devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will send on them the teeth of wild animals, with the poison of things that crawl in the dust.
25 De fuera desolará la espada, y dentro de las cámaras el espanto; así al mancebo como á la doncella, al que mama como el hombre cano.
Outside the sword will bereave, and in the bedrooms terror will do so. It will destroy both young man and virgin, the nursing baby, and the man of gray hairs.
26 Dije: Echaríalos yo del mundo, haría cesar de entre los hombres la memoria de ellos,
I said that I would scatter them far away, that I would make the memory of them to cease from among mankind.
27 Si no temiese la ira del enemigo, no sea que se envanezcan sus adversarios, no sea que digan: Nuestra mano alta ha hecho todo esto, no Jehová.
Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, and that their enemies would judge mistakenly, and that they would say, 'Our hand is exalted,' I would have done all this.
28 Porque son gente de perdidos consejos, y no hay en ellos entendimiento.
For Israel is a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding in them.
29 ¡Ojalá fueran sabios, que comprendieran esto, y entendieran su postrimería!
Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their coming fate!
30 ¿Cómo podría perseguir uno á mil, y dos harían huir á diez mil, si su Roca no los hubiese vendido, y Jehová no los hubiera entregado?
How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had given them up?
31 Que la roca de ellos no es como nuestra Roca: y nuestros enemigos [sean de ello] jueces.
For our enemies' rock is not like our Rock, just as even our enemies admit.
32 Porque de la vid de Sodoma es la vid de ellos, y de los sarmientos de Gomorra: las uvas de ellos son uvas ponzoñosas, racimos muy amargos tienen.
For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
33 Veneno de dragones es su vino, y ponzoña cruel de áspides.
Their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
34 ¿No tengo yo esto guardado, sellado en mis tesoros?
Is not this plan secretly kept by me, sealed up among my treasures?
35 Mía es la venganza y el pago, al tiempo que su pie vacilará; porque el día de su aflicción está cercano, y lo que les está preparado se apresura.
Vengeance is mine to give, and recompense, at the time when their foot slips; for the day of disaster for them is near, and the things that are to come on them will hurry to happen.”
36 Porque Jehová juzgará á su pueblo, y por amor de sus siervos se arrepentirá, cuando viere que la fuerza pereció, y que no hay guardado, mas desamparado.
For Yahweh will give justice to his people, and he will pity his servants. He will see that their power is gone, and no one remains, either slaves or free people.
37 Y dirá: ¿Dónde están sus dioses, la roca en que se guarecían;
Then he will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in whom they took refuge?—
38 Que comían el sebo de sus sacrificios, bebían el vino de sus libaciones? Levántense, que os ayuden y os defiendan.
The gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them be your protection.
39 Ved ahora que yo, yo soy, y no hay dioses conmigo: yo hago morir, y yo hago vivir: yo hiero, y yo curo: y no hay quien pueda librar de mi mano.
See now that I, even I, am God, and that there is no god besides me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, and there is no one who can save you from my might.
40 Cuando yo alzaré á los cielos mi mano, y diré: Vivo yo para siempre,
For I lift up my hand to heaven and say, 'As I live forever, I will act.
41 Si afilare mi reluciente espada, y mi mano arrebatare el juicio, yo volveré la venganza á mis enemigos, y daré el pago á los que me aborrecen.
When I sharpen my glittering sword, and when my hand begins to bring justice, I will render vengeance on my enemies, and I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Embriagaré de sangre mis saetas, y mi espada devorará carne: en la sangre de los muertos y de los cautivos de las cabezas, con venganzas de enemigo.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh with the blood of the killed and the captives, and from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.'”
43 Alabad, gentes, á su pueblo, porque él vengará la sangre de sus siervos, y volverá la venganza á sus enemigos, y expiará su tierra, á su pueblo.
Rejoice, you nations, with God's people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will render vengeance on his enemies, and he will make atonement for his land, for his people.
44 Y vino Moisés, y recitó todas las palabras de este cántico á oídos del pueblo, él, y Josué hijo de Nun.
Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Joshua son of Nun.
45 Y acabó Moisés de recitar todas estas palabras á todo Israel;
Then Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
46 Y díjoles: Poned vuestro corazón á todas las palabras que yo os protesto hoy, para que las mandéis á vuestros hijos, y cuiden de poner por obra todas las palabras de esta ley.
He said to them, “Fix your mind on all the words that I have witnessed to you today, so that you may command your children to keep them, all the words of this law.
47 Porque no os es cosa vana, mas es vuestra vida: y por ellas haréis prolongar los días sobre la tierra, para poseer la cual pasáis el Jordán.
For this is no trivial matter for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you will prolong your days in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
48 Y habló Jehová á Moisés aquel mismo día, diciendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses on that same day and said,
49 Sube á este monte de Abarim, al monte Nebo, que está en la tierra de Moab, que está en derecho de Jericó, y mira la tierra de Canaán, que yo doy por heredad á los hijos de Israel;
“Go up into this range of the mountains of Abarim, up Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho. You will look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel as their possession.
50 Y muere en el monte al cual subes, y sé reunido á tus pueblos; al modo que murió Aarón tu hermano en el monte de Hor, y fué reunido á sus pueblos:
You will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your fellow Israelite died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
51 Por cuanto prevaricasteis contra mí en medio de los hijos de Israel en las aguas de la rencilla de Cades, en el desierto de Zin; porque no me santificasteis en medio de los hijos de Israel.
This will happen because you were unfaithful to me among the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not treat me with honor and respect among the people of Israel.
52 Verás por tanto delante de ti la tierra; mas no entrarás allá, á la tierra que doy á los hijos de Israel.
For you will see the land before you, but you will not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
