Deuteronomio 29

El pacto en Moab
29 Éstas son las palabras del pacto que el Señor ordenó a Moisés celebrar en Moab con los hijos de Israel, además del pacto que concertó con ellos en Horeb.
2 Moisés llamó a todos los israelitas, y les dijo:
«Ustedes han visto con sus propios ojos todo lo que el Señor ha hecho en la tierra de Egipto con el faraón y con todos sus siervos, y con todo su país. 3 Ustedes son testigos de esas grandes pruebas y señales y maravillas. 4 Pero hasta este día el Señor no les ha dado la capacidad de entender, ni de ver ni de oír. 5 Durante cuarenta años yo los he conducido por el desierto, y ni la ropa ni las sandalias que llevan puestas se les han gastado, 6 y para que sepan que yo soy el Señor su Dios, tampoco han tenido que comer pan ni beber vino o sidra. 7 Cuando ustedes llegaron a este lugar, el rey Sijón de Jesbón(A) y el rey Og de Basán(B) nos salieron al encuentro para pelear contra nosotros, y los derrotamos; 8 luego tomamos posesión de su tierra, y la entregamos a Rubén y a Gad y a la media tribu de Manasés(C) como su propiedad. 9 Así que ustedes deben cumplir con las palabras de este pacto, y ponerlas por obra, para que prosperen en todo lo que hagan.
10 »Este día todos ustedes, los varones de Israel, están en presencia del Señor su Dios: tanto los jefes de tribu como los ancianos y los oficiales, 11 lo mismo que sus niños y sus mujeres, y los extranjeros que habitan entre ustedes, desde los que cortan la leña hasta los que acarrean el agua, 12 y esto es para que entren en el pacto del Señor su Dios, y en el juramento que el Señor su Dios hace hoy con ustedes, 13 para confirmarlos hoy como su pueblo, y para que él sea su Dios, tal y como él lo ha dicho y jurado a Abrahán, Isaac y Jacob, los antepasados de ustedes. 14 Este pacto y este juramento no lo hago solamente con ustedes; 15 lo hago delante del Señor nuestro Dios con los que hoy están aquí presentes con nosotros, y también con los que no están hoy aquí con nosotros.
16 »Ustedes saben cómo vivíamos en Egipto, y cómo hemos pasado por en medio de las naciones que hemos encontrado a nuestro paso; 17 ustedes han visto sus hechos repugnantes, y los ídolos de madera, piedra, plata y oro, que tienen consigo. 18 No vaya a ser que alguno de ustedes, hombre o mujer, familia o tribu, aparte hoy su corazón del Señor nuestro Dios y vaya y sirva a los dioses de esas naciones. No vaya a ser que haya entre ustedes alguna raíz que produzca hiel y ajenjo,(D) 19 y que al oír las palabras de esta maldición, él se bendiga a sí mismo y diga: “Aun cuando persista yo en endurecer mi corazón, voy a estar bien,”, pues eso podría perjudicarlos a todos, buenos y malos. 20 El Señor no querrá perdonarlo, sino que su ira y su celo se encenderá contra ese hombre, y caerán sobre él todas las maldiciones escritas en este libro, y el Señor borrará su nombre de debajo del cielo. 21 El Señor lo apartará para mal de todas las tribus de Israel, conforme a todas las maldiciones del pacto escritas en este libro de la ley. 22 Y lo condenarán las generaciones futuras, y los hijos que nazcan después de ustedes, y los extranjeros que vengan de lejanas tierras, al ver las plagas de aquella tierra, y las enfermedades con que el Señor la habrá azotado 23 (toda su tierra será calcinada con azufre y sal; no será sembrada ni producirá nada, ni crecerá en ella hierba alguna, como sucedió en la destrucción de Sodoma y de Gomorra,(E) y de Adma y de Zeboyin, a las que el Señor destruyó en el furor de su ira); 24 más aún, todas las naciones dirán: “¿Por qué hizo esto el Señor con esta tierra? ¿Qué significa el ardor de este gran enojo?” 25 Y se les responderá: “Es que se apartaron del pacto que el Señor, el Dios de sus padres, concertó con ellos cuando los sacó de Egipto, 26 y fueron y sirvieron a dioses ajenos, y se inclinaron ante ellos. Eran dioses que nunca antes conocieron, y que nada les habían dado. 27 Por eso se encendió la ira del Señor contra esta tierra, y trajo sobre ella todas las maldiciones escritas en este libro. 28 El Señor los desarraigó de su tierra con gran ira, furor e indignación, y los expulsó a otro país, como hoy se puede ver.”
29 »Las cosas secretas pertenecen al Señor nuestro Dios, pero las reveladas son para nosotros y para nuestros hijos para siempre, para que cumplamos todas las palabras de esta ley.
Deuteronomy 29
King James Version
29 These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the Lord your God.
7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day:
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
20 The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21 And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon it;
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
27 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28 And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 29
English Standard Version
The Covenant Renewed in Moab
29 [a] These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel (A)in the land of Moab, besides (B)the covenant that he had made with them at Horeb.
2 [b] And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: (C)“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, 3 the great (D)trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 But to this day (E)the Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear. 5 (F)I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet. 6 (G)You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, (H)Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them. 8 We took their land and (I)gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites. 9 (J)Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper[c] in all that you do.
10 “You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God: the heads of your tribes,[d] your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones, your wives, and the (K)sojourner who is in your camp, from (L)the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, 12 so that you may enter into the (M)sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, 13 that he may (N)establish you today as his people, and that (O)he may be your God, as he promised you, and (P)as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14 It is not with you alone (Q)that I am making this sworn covenant, 15 but with whoever is standing here with us today before the Lord our God, (R)and with whoever is not here with us today.
16 “You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed. 17 And you have seen their detestable things, their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them. 18 Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you (S)a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit, 19 one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.’ This will lead to the sweeping away of moist and dry alike. 20 The Lord will not be willing to forgive him, but rather (T)the anger of the Lord and (U)his jealousy will smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book will settle upon him, and the Lord (V)will blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law. 22 And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, (W)will say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the Lord has made it sick— 23 the whole land burned out with brimstone and (X)salt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, (Y)an overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, (Z)Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and wrath— 24 all the nations (AA)will say, (AB)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25 Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, (AC)bringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28 and the Lord (AD)uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and (AE)cast them into another land, as they are this day.’
29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
