1 Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,
1 Y SERÁ que, cuando te sobrevinieren todas estas cosas, la bendición y la maldición que he puesto delante de ti, y volvieres á tu corazón en medio de todas las gentes á las cuales Jehová tu Dios te hubiere echado,
2 And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:
2 Y te convirtieres á Jehová tu Dios, y obedecieres á su voz conforme á todo lo que yo te mando hoy, tú y tus hijos, con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma,
3 Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.
3 Jehová también volverá tus cautivos, y tendrá misericordia de ti, y tornará á recogerte de todos los pueblos á los cuales te hubiere esparcido Jehová tu Dios.
4 Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;
4 Si hubieres sido arrojado hasta el cabo de los cielos, de allí te recogerá Jehová tu Dios, y de allá te tomará:
5 Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.
5 Y volverte ha Jehová tu Dios á la tierra que heredaron tus padres, y la poseerás; y te hará bien, y te multiplicará más que á tus padres.
6 And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.
6 Y circuncidará Jehová tu Dios tu corazón, y el corazón de tu simiente, para que ames á Jehová tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma, á fin de que tú vivas.
7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.
7 Y pondrá Jehová tu Dios todas estas maldiciones sobre tus enemigos, y sobre tus aborrecedores que te persiguieron.
8 And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.
8 Y tú volverás, y oirás la voz de Jehová, y pondrás por obra todos sus mandamientos, que yo te intimo hoy.
9 And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:
9 Y hacerte ha Jehová tu Dios abundar en toda obra de tus manos, en el fruto de tu vientre, en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, para bien: porque Jehová volverá á gozarse sobre ti para bien, de la manera que se gozó sobre tus padres;
10 If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
10 Cuando oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar sus mandamientos y sus estatutos escritos en este libro de la ley; cuando te convirtieres á Jehová tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma.
11 For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.
11 Porque este mandamiento que yo te intimo hoy, no te es encubierto, ni está lejos:
12 They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?
12 No está en el cielo, para que digas: ¿Quién subirá por nosotros al cielo, y nos lo traerá y nos lo representará, para que lo cumplamos?
13 And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?
13 Ni está de la otra parte de la mar, para que digas: ¿Quién pasará por nosotros la mar, para que nos lo traiga y nos lo represente, á fin de que lo cumplamos?
14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
14 Porque muy cerca de ti está la palabra, en tu boca y en tu corazón, para que la cumplas.
15 See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;
15 Mira, yo he puesto delante de ti hoy la vida y el bien, la muerte y el mal:
16 In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.
16 Porque yo te mando hoy que ames á Jehová tu Dios, que andes en sus caminos, y guardes sus mandamientos y sus estatutos y sus derechos, para que vivas y seas multiplicado, y Jehová tu Dios te bendiga en la tierra á la cual entras para poseerla.
17 But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:
17 Mas si tu corazón se apartare, y no oyeres, y fueres incitado, y te inclinares á dioses ajenos, y los sirvieres;
18 I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.
18 Protéstoos hoy que de cierto pereceréis: no tendréis largos días sobre la tierra, para ir á la cual pasas el Jordán para poseerla.
19 Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:
19 A los cielos y la tierra llamo por testigos hoy contra vosotros, que os he puesto delante la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la maldición: escoge pues la vida, porque vivas tú y tu simiente:
20 In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
20 Que ames á Jehová tu Dios, que oigas su voz, y te allegues á él; porque él es tu vida, y la longitud de tus días; á fin de que habites sobre la tierra que juró Jehová á tus padres Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, que les había de dar.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And the holy Spirit of prophecy taught us this, telling us by Moses that God spoke thus to the man first created: "Behold, before thy face are good and evil: choose the good." And again, by the other prophet Isaiah, that the following utterance was made as if from God the Father and Lord of all: "Wash you, make you …
And therefore Moses says to them again: "Choose life, that thou mayest live, and thy seed, to love the Lord thy God, to hear His voice, to cleave unto Him; for this is thy life, and the length of thy days." Preparing man for this life, the Lord Himself did speak in His own person to all alike the words …
