Deuteronomio 32
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
32 “Pakinggan mo, langit, ang aking sasabihin,
unawain mo, lupa, ang aking bibigkasin.
2 Pumatak nawang gaya ng ulan ang aking ituturo,
ang salita ko nawa'y tulad ng hamog na namumuo;
upang halama'y diligan at damo'y tumubo.
3 Sapagkat si Yahweh ay aking pupurihin,
ang kanyang pangalan ay inyong dakilain.
4 “Si Yahweh ang inyong batong tanggulan,
mga gawa niya'y walang kapintasan,
mga pasya niya'y pawang makatarungan;
siya'y Diyos na tapat at makatuwiran.
5 Datapwat ang Israel sa kanya ay nagtaksil,
di na karapat-dapat na mga anak ang turing,
dahil sa pagkakasala nila at ugaling suwail.
6 O mga mangmang at hangal na tao,
ganyan ba susuklian ang kabutihan sa inyo ni Yahweh na inyong ama at sa inyo'y lumikha,
at nagtaguyod na kayo'y maging isang bansa?
7 “Alalahanin ninyo ang mga lumipas na panahon, ang mga salinlahi ng mga nagdaang taon;
tanungin ninyo ang inyong ama at kanilang sasabihin,
pati ang matatanda at kanilang sasaysayin.
8 Nang(A) ipamahagi ng Kataas-taasang Diyos ang ipapamanang lupain,
nang ang mga bansa'y kanyang hati-hatiin,
mga hangganan nito'y kanyang itinakda ayon sa dami ng mga anak niya.
9 Pagkat ang lahi ni Jacob ay kanyang pinili,
sila ang kanyang tagapagmanang lahi.
10 “Sa isang disyerto sila'y kanyang natagpuan,
sa isang lupang tigang at walang naninirahan.
Doon sila'y kanyang pinatnubayan,
binantayan at doo'y inalagaan.
11 Isang inahing agila, ang kanyang katulad,
sila'y mga inakay na tinuruan niyang lumipad;
upang ang Israel ay hindi bumagsak,
sinasalo niya ng malalapad niyang pakpak.
12 Si Yahweh lamang ang sa kanila'y pumatnubay,
walang diyos na banyaga ang sa kanila'y dumamay.
13 “Kanyang pinagtagumpay sila sa kaburulan,
sila'y kumain ng mga ani sa kabukiran.
Nakakuha sila ng pulot sa mga batuhan,
nakahukay rin ng langis sa lupang tigang.
14 Kanilang mga baka't kambing ay sagana sa gatas;
pinakamainam ang kanilang kawan, trigo, at katas ng ubas.
15 “Si Jacob na irog, tumaba't lumaki—katawa'y bumilog;
ang Diyos na lumalang kanyang tinalikuran,
at itinakwil ang batong tanggulan ng kanyang kaligtasan.
16 Pinanibugho nila si Yahweh dahil sa mga diyus-diyosan.
Poot niya'y pinag-alab sa pagsambang kasuklam-suklam.
17 Naghain(B) sila ng handog sa mga demonyo,
sa mga diyus-diyosang hindi nila alam kung ano;
ngayon lamang dumating mga diyos na bago,
na hindi sinamba ng kanilang mga lolo.
18 Iniwan ninyo ang batong tanggulan na sa inyo'y nagdalang-tao,
kinalimutan ninyo ang Diyos na tunay na sa inyo ay nagbigay-buhay.
19 “Nang makita ni Yahweh ang ginawa nilang ito, napuspos siya ng galit,
poot niya'y nag-alimpuyo laban sa mga anak na inari niyang totoo.
20 ‘Kaya't ako'y lalayo,’ ang sabi niya,
‘Kanilang mga dalangin di na diringgin pa,
tingnan ko lang ang kanilang sasapitin—
isang lahing suwail, mga anak na taksil.
21 Pinanibugho(C) nila ako sa mga diyos na hindi totoo,
sa pagsamba sa kanila'y ginalit nila ako,
kaya't bayang hangal kahit hindi akin ay siyang gagamitin,
upang aking bayan galitin at panibughuin.
22 Galit ko'y bubuga ng nag-aalab na poot,
maglalagablab hanggang sa kalaliman ng daigdig ng mga patay.
Lupa't bunga nito apoy ang tutupok,
sa mga saligan ng bundok siya ang susunog.’
23 “‘Tatambakan ko sila ng labis na paghihirap,
pauulanan ko sila ng aking mga sibat.
24 Padadalhan ko sila ng nakakalunos na salot,
matinding lagnat at gutom ang aking idudulot.
Mababangis na hayop aking pasasalakayin,
makamandag na ahas sila'y tutuklawin.
25 Sa mga lansanga'y magkakaroon ng mga patayan,
sindak at takot naman sa mga tahanan;
binata't dalaga'y kapwa pupuksain,
maging pasusuhing sanggol at matatandang ubanin.
26 Naisip ko na sana'y sila ang lipulin,
sa alaala ng madla sila ay pawiin.
27 Subalit ayaw kong mangyari na ang mga kaaway ay pahambog na magsabi:
Kami ang lumupig sa kanila,
ngunit akong si Yahweh ang talagang sa kanila'y nagparusa.’
28 “Sila'y isang bansang salat sa katuwiran,
isang bayang wala ni pang-unawa man.
29 Kung sila'y matalino, naunawaan sana nila nangyaring pagkatalo.
Kung bakit sila nagapi, sasabihin nila ito:
30 Paano matutugis ng isa ang sanlibo?
O ang sampung libo ng dalawa katao?
Sila'y pinabayaan ng kanilang batong tanggulan
na sa kanila'y nagtakwil at nang-iwan.
31 Tunay ngang tanggulan nila'y hindi tulad ng sa atin;
maging ating mga kaaway ito rin ang sasabihin.
32 Sila ay sanga ng ubasan ng Sodoma, mga nagmula sa taniman ng Gomorra;
mga ubas nila'y tunay na lason at mapakla.
33 Ang alak na dito'y kinakatas,
ay gaya ng mabagsik na kamandag ng ahas.
34 “Hindi ba't iniingatan ko ito sa aking kaban,
natatakpang mahigpit sa aking taguan?
35 Akin(D) ang paghihiganti, ako ang magpaparusa;
kanilang pagbagsak ay nalalapit na.
Araw ng kapahamakan sa kanila'y darating,
lubos na pagkawasak ay malapit ng sapitin.
36 Bibigyan(E) ng katarungan ni Yahweh ang kanyang bayan,
mga lingkod niyang hirang kanyang kahahabagan.
Kapag nakita niyang sila'y nanghihina,
at lakas nila'y unti-unting nawawala.
37 Pagkatapos itatanong ng Diyos sa kanyang bayan,
‘Nasaan ngayon ang inyong mga diyos,
tanggulang inyong pinagkatiwalaan?
38 Sinong umubos sa taba ng inyong handog,
at sino ang uminom ng alak ninyong kaloob?
Bakit hindi ninyo sila tawagin at tulong ay hingin?
Hindi ba nila kayo kayang sagipin?
39 “‘Alamin ninyong ako ang Diyos—Oo, ako lamang.
Maliban sa akin ay wala nang iba pa.
Ako'y pumapatay at nagbibigay-buhay,
ako'y sumusugat at nagpapagaling din naman.
Wala nang makakapigil, anuman ang aking gawin.
40 Isinusumpa ko ito sa harap ng kalangitan, habang ako'y nabubuhay,
Diyos na walang hanggan.
41 Hahasain ko ang aking tabak na makinang
upang igawad ang aking katarungan.
Mga kaaway ko'y aking paghihigantihan,
at sisingilin ko ang sa aki'y nasusuklam.
42 Sa aking mga palaso dugo nila'y dadanak,
laman nila'y lalamunin nitong aking tabak;
hindi ko igagalang sinumang lumaban,
tiyak na mamamatay bilanggo ma't sugatan!’
43 “Mga(F) bansa, bayan ni Yahweh'y inyong papurihan,
mga pumapatay sa kanila'y kanyang pinaparusahan.
Ang kanilang mga kaaway kanyang ginagantihan,
at pinapatawad ang kasalanan ng kanyang bayan.”[a]
44 Ito nga ang inawit nina Moises at Josue sa harapan ng mga Israelita. 45 Pagkatapos bigkasin ni Moises ang lahat ng ito sa harap ng buong bayan ng Israel, 46 sinabi niya, “Itanim ninyo sa isip ang mga salitang narinig ninyo sa akin ngayon. Ituro ninyo sa inyong mga anak, upang masunod nilang mabuti ang buong kautusan. 47 Mahalaga ang mga salitang ito sapagkat dito nakasalalay ang inyong buhay. Kung susundin ninyong mabuti, mabubuhay kayo nang matagal sa lupaing sasakupin ninyo sa kabila ng Jordan.”
Ipinatanaw kay Moises ang Canaan
48 Nang(G) araw ring iyon, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 49 “Umakyat ka sa Abarim, sa Bundok ng Nebo na sakop ng Moab, sa tapat ng Jerico, at tanawin mo ang Canaan, ang lupaing ibibigay ko sa mga Israelita. 50 Doon ka mamamatay sa bundok na iyon tulad ng nangyari kay Aaron sa Bundok ng Hor, 51 sapagkat sinuway ninyo ako sa harapan ng bayang Israel noong sila'y nasa tabi ng tubig sa Meriba-kades sa ilang ng Zin. Hindi ninyo pinakita sa mga Israelita na ako ay banal. 52 Matatanaw mo ang lupaing ibibigay ko sa bayang Israel ngunit hindi mo ito mararating.”

Deuteronomy 32
King James Version
Deuteronomy 32
King James Version
32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

New International Version
32 Listen,(A) you heavens,(B) and I will speak;
hear, you earth, the words of my mouth.(C)
2 Let my teaching fall like rain(D)
and my words descend like dew,(E)
like showers(F) on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.
3 I will proclaim(G) the name of the Lord.(H)
Oh, praise the greatness(I) of our God!
4 He is the Rock,(J) his works are perfect,(K)
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God(L) who does no wrong,
upright(M) and just is he.(N)
5 They are corrupt and not his children;
to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.(O)
6 Is this the way you repay(P) the Lord,
you foolish(Q) and unwise people?(R)
Is he not your Father,(S) your Creator,[a]
who made you and formed you?(T)
7 Remember the days of old;(U)
consider the generations long past.(V)
Ask your father and he will tell you,
your elders, and they will explain to you.(W)
8 When the Most High(X) gave the nations their inheritance,
when he divided all mankind,(Y)
he set up boundaries(Z) for the peoples
according to the number of the sons of Israel.[b](AA)
9 For the Lord’s portion(AB) is his people,
Jacob his allotted inheritance.(AC)
10 In a desert(AD) land he found him,
in a barren and howling waste.(AE)
He shielded(AF) him and cared for him;
he guarded him as the apple of his eye,(AG)
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,(AH)
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.(AI)
12 The Lord alone led(AJ) him;(AK)
no foreign god was with him.(AL)
13 He made him ride on the heights(AM) of the land
and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(AN)
and with oil(AO) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(AP)
and the finest kernels of wheat.(AQ)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(AR)
15 Jeshurun[c](AS) grew fat(AT) and kicked;
filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(AU) the God who made them
and rejected the Rock(AV) their Savior.
16 They made him jealous(AW) with their foreign gods
and angered(AX) him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed(AY) to false gods,(AZ) which are not God—
gods they had not known,(BA)
gods that recently appeared,(BB)
gods your ancestors did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
you forgot(BC) the God who gave you birth.
19 The Lord saw this and rejected them(BD)
because he was angered by his sons and daughters.(BE)
20 “I will hide my face(BF) from them,” he said,
“and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,(BG)
children who are unfaithful.(BH)
21 They made me jealous(BI) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(BJ)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(BK)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(BL)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(BM)
It will devour(BN) the earth and its harvests(BO)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(BP)
23 “I will heap calamities(BQ) on them
and spend my arrows(BR) against them.
24 I will send wasting famine(BS) against them,
consuming pestilence(BT) and deadly plague;(BU)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,(BV)
the venom of vipers(BW) that glide in the dust.(BX)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
in their homes terror(BY) will reign.(BZ)
The young men and young women will perish,
the infants and those with gray hair.(CA)
26 I said I would scatter(CB) them
and erase their name from human memory,(CC)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
lest the adversary misunderstand(CD)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
the Lord has not done all this.’”(CE)
28 They are a nation without sense,
there is no discernment(CF) in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this(CG)
and discern what their end will be!(CH)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,(CI)
unless their Rock had sold them,(CJ)
unless the Lord had given them up?(CK)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,(CL)
as even our enemies concede.(CM)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom(CN)
and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,(CO)
and their clusters with bitterness.(CP)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
the deadly poison of cobras.(CQ)
34 “Have I not kept this in reserve
and sealed it in my vaults?(CR)
35 It is mine to avenge;(CS) I will repay.(CT)
In due time their foot will slip;(CU)
their day of disaster is near
and their doom rushes upon them.(CV)”
36 The Lord will vindicate his people(CW)
and relent(CX) concerning his servants(CY)
when he sees their strength is gone
and no one is left, slave(CZ) or free.[d]
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
the rock they took refuge in,(DA)
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?(DB)
Let them rise up to help you!
Let them give you shelter!
39 “See now that I myself am he!(DC)
There is no god besides me.(DD)
I put to death(DE) and I bring to life,(DF)
I have wounded and I will heal,(DG)
and no one can deliver out of my hand.(DH)
40 I lift my hand(DI) to heaven and solemnly swear:
As surely as I live forever,(DJ)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(DK)
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(DL) on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.(DM)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(DN)
while my sword devours flesh:(DO)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Rejoice,(DP) you nations, with his people,[e][f]
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;(DQ)
he will take vengeance on his enemies(DR)
and make atonement for his land and people.(DS)
44 Moses came with Joshua[g](DT) son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. 45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day,(DU) so that you may command(DV) your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.(DW) By them you will live long(DX) in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Moses to Die on Mount Nebo
48 On that same day the Lord told Moses,(DY) 49 “Go up into the Abarim(DZ) Range to Mount Nebo(EA) in Moab, across from Jericho,(EB) and view Canaan,(EC) the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die(ED) and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died(EE) on Mount Hor(EF) and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh(EG) in the Desert of Zin(EH) and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.(EI) 52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance;(EJ) you will not enter(EK) the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”

32 “Give ear, (A)O heavens, and I will speak,
and let (B)the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 May (C)my teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and (D)like showers upon the herb.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
ascribe (E)greatness to our God!
4 (F)“The Rock, (G)his work is perfect,
for (H)all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and (I)without iniquity,
just and upright is he.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him;
they are no longer his children (J)because they are blemished;
they are (K)a crooked and twisted generation.
6 Do you thus repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he (L)your father, who (M)created you,
who (N)made you and established you?
7 (O)Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
(P)ask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High (Q)gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he (R)divided mankind,
he fixed the borders[a] of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God.[b]
9 But the Lord's portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.
10 “He found him (S)in a desert land,
and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he (T)encircled him, he cared for him,
he (U)kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 (V)Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,
that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
bearing them on its pinions,
12 (W)the Lord alone guided him,
(X)no foreign god was with him.
13 (Y)He made him ride on the high places of the land,
and he ate the produce of the field,
and he suckled him with (Z)honey out of the rock,
and (AA)oil out of (AB)the flinty rock.
14 Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat[c] of lambs,
rams of Bashan and goats,
with the very finest[d] of the wheat—
and you drank foaming wine made from (AC)the blood of the grape.
15 “But (AD)Jeshurun grew fat, and (AE)kicked;
(AF)you grew fat, stout, and sleek;
(AG)then he forsook God (AH)who made him
and scoffed at (AI)the Rock of his salvation.
16 (AJ)They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 (AK)They sacrificed to demons that were not God,
to gods they had never known,
to (AL)new gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of (AM)the Rock that bore[e] you,
and you (AN)forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 (AO)“The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of (AP)his sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, (AQ)‘I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 (AR)They have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger (AS)with their idols.
So (AT)I will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with (AU)a foolish nation.
22 For (AV)a fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to (AW)the depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
(AX)I will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send (AY)the teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of (AZ)things that crawl in the dust.
25 (BA)Outdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 (BB)I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
(BC)I will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, (BD)“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is (BE)no understanding in them.
29 (BF)If they were wise, they would understand this;
they would (BG)discern their latter end!
30 How could (BH)one have chased a thousand,
and two have put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock (BI)had sold them,
and the Lord had given them up?
31 For (BJ)their rock is not as our Rock;
(BK)our enemies are by themselves.
32 For their vine (BL)comes from the vine of Sodom
and from the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of (BM)poison;
their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is the poison of (BN)serpents
and the cruel venom of asps.
34 “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
(BO)sealed up in my treasuries?
35 (BP)Vengeance is mine, and recompense,[f]
(BQ)for the time when their foot shall slip;
for (BR)the day of their calamity is at hand,
and their doom comes swiftly.’
36 For (BS)the Lord will vindicate[g] his people
(BT)and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
and there is none remaining, (BU)bond or free.
37 Then he will say, (BV)‘Where are their gods,
(BW)the rock in which they took refuge,
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them be your protection!
39 “‘See now that (BX)I, even I, am he,
and there is no god beside me;
(BY)I kill and I make alive;
(BZ)I wound and I heal;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For (CA)I lift up my hand to heaven
and swear, As I live forever,
41 if I (CB)sharpen my flashing sword[h]
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and (CC)my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the (CD)long-haired heads of the enemy.’
43 (CE)“Rejoice with him, O heavens;[i]
bow down to him, all gods,[j]
for he (CF)avenges the blood of his children[k]
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him[l]
and cleanses[m] his people's land.”[n]
44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and (CG)Joshua[o] the son of Nun. 45 And when Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, (CH)“Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, (CI)that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. 47 For it is no empty word for you, (CJ)but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
Moses' Death Foretold
48 That very day the Lord spoke to Moses, 49 “Go up (CK)this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel for a possession. 50 And die on the mountain which you go up, and be gathered to your people, as (CL)Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, 51 (CM)because you broke faith with me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, and because you did not treat me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel. 52 For (CN)you shall see the land before you, but you shall not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
