WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Escuchen, cielos, mi voz; que la tierra preste atención a las palabras de mi boca.
1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Mi enseñanza caerá como la lluvia y mis palabras como el rocío sobre los campos, como lluvia sobre la hierba joven y como aguacero sobre las plantas.
2 My doctrine will drop as the rain. My speech will condense as the dew, as the misty rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.
3 Porque daré honor al nombre del Señor. Reconozcan la grandeza de nuestro Dios.
3 For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 Él es la Roca; completa es su obra, porque todos sus caminos son justos. Es un Dios fiel y sin maldad; verdadero y recto es él.
4 The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.
5 Ellos se han vuelto falsos. No actúan como sus hijos; el pecado los ha marcado. Son una generación mala y de corazón duro.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 ¿Es esta su respuesta al Señor, pueblo necio y sin sabiduría? ¿No es él su Padre, quien les dio la vida? Él los hizo y les dio su lugar.
6 Is this the way you repay Yahweh, foolish and unwise people? Isn’t he your father who has bought you? He has made you and established you.
7 Recuerden los días del pasado y piensen en los años de las generaciones anteriores. Pregunten a sus padres y ellos se lo explicarán; pregunten a los ancianos y ellos les contarán la historia.
7 Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8◆ Cuando el Altísimo dio a las naciones su herencia y separó a los seres humanos en pueblos, fijó los límites de las naciones teniendo en cuenta el número de los hijos de Israel.
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the children of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
9◆ Porque el tesoro del Señor es su pueblo; Jacob es la tierra de su herencia.
9 For Yahweh’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 Lo encontró en una tierra desierta, en un lugar vacío y lleno de arena. Lo rodeó con sus brazos, lo cuidó y lo guardó como a la niña de sus ojos.
10 He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 Como un águila que enseña a volar a sus crías, extiende sus alas sobre ellas, las toma y las lleva sobre sus fuertes plumas,
11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
12 así el Señor fue su único guía; ningún otro dios estaba con él.
12 Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.
13 Lo hizo subir a las alturas de la tierra y lo alimentó con lo que producía el campo. Le dio miel de la roca y aceite de la roca dura,
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;
14 mantequilla de vaca y leche de oveja, grasa de corderos, ovejas de Basán y cabras, junto con lo mejor del trigo. Y bebió vino de la sangre de la uva.
14 butter from the herd, and milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. From the blood of the grape, you drank wine.
15 Pero Jesurún engordó y se volvió rebelde. Engordaste, te hiciste grueso y quedaste lleno de alimento. Entonces abandonó al Dios que lo hizo y dejó de honrar a la Roca de su salvación.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected the Rock of his salvation.
16 Dieron a dioses extraños el honor que pertenecía al Señor, y con sus prácticas repugnantes provocaron su ira.
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.
17 Hicieron sacrificios a espíritus malignos que no eran Dios, a dioses que no conocían, dioses nuevos que sus padres nunca habían temido.
17 They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they didn’t know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers didn’t dread.
18 Olvidaste a la Roca, tu Padre, y no recordaste al Dios que te dio la vida.
18 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
19 El Señor vio la maldad de sus hijos e hijas y la miró con disgusto.
19 Yahweh saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
20 Dijo: «Ocultaré mi rostro de ellos y veré cuál será su fin, porque son una generación rebelde, hijos en quienes no hay fidelidad.
20 He said, “I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end will be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 Me provocaron a celos con lo que no es Dios y me hicieron enojar con su falsa adoración. Yo los provocaré a celos con un pueblo que no es pueblo y los haré enojar con una nación insensata.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 Porque mi ira es un fuego ardiente que quema hasta lo profundo del lugar de los muertos. Consume la tierra y todo lo que produce, y prende fuego a las raíces de las montañas.
22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, that burns to the lowest Sheol, devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire.
23 Haré caer sobre ellos una lluvia de males; descargaré sobre ellos mis flechas.
23 “I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.
24 Serán consumidos por el hambre, el calor ardiente y la amarga destrucción. Enviaré contra ellos los dientes de las fieras y el veneno de los animales que se arrastran por el polvo.
24 They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, with the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.
25 Afuera la espada los destruirá, y dentro habrá terror. La muerte se llevará al joven y a la joven, al bebé que todavía mama y al anciano de cabello gris.
25 Outside the sword will bereave, and in the rooms, terror on both young man and virgin, the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
26 Dije: “Los dispersaré muy lejos y borraré su recuerdo de la mente de los hombres”.
26 I said that I would scatter them afar. I would make their memory to cease from among men;
27 Pero temí que sus enemigos, llenos de orgullo, dijeran: “Nuestra mano es poderosa; el Señor no hizo todo esto”.
27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted; Yahweh has not done all this.’”
28 Porque son una nación sin sabiduría; no hay entendimiento en ellos.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
29 ¡Si fueran sabios y entendieran esto, pensarían en su futuro!
29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 ¿Cómo podría uno vencer a mil y dos hacer huir a diez mil, si su roca no los hubiera entregado y el Señor no los hubiera abandonado?
30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had delivered them up?
31 Porque la roca de ellos no es como nuestra Roca; hasta nuestros enemigos son testigos de esto.
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves concede.
32 Su vid viene de la vid de Sodoma y de los campos de Gomorra. Sus uvas son uvas de maldad y sus frutos son amargos.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poison grapes. Their clusters are bitter.
33 Su vino es veneno de serpientes, cruel veneno de víboras.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, the cruel venom of asps.
34 ¿No tengo todo esto guardado en secreto, sellado en mis depósitos?
34 “Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
35 Mía es la venganza y la recompensa, para el momento en que resbalen sus pies. El día de su caída está cerca, y su destino llegará de repente.
35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides, for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”
36 Porque el Señor juzgará a su pueblo y tendrá compasión de sus siervos cuando vea que su fuerza se ha acabado y que no queda nadie, ni esclavo ni libre.
36 For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.
37 Entonces dirá: ¿Dónde están sus dioses, la roca en la que pusieron su confianza?
37 He will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 ¿Dónde están los que comían la grasa de sus sacrificios y bebían el vino de sus ofrendas de vino? Que se levanten ahora para ayudarlos y darles protección.
38 which 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 Miren ahora: yo, solo yo, soy Dios; no hay otro dios fuera de mí. Yo doy muerte y vida; yo hiero y sano, y nadie puede librar de mi mano.
39 “See now that I myself am he. There is no god with me. I kill and I make alive. I wound and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
40 Levanto mi mano al cielo y digo: Vivo yo para siempre.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare, as I live forever,
41 Si afilo mi espada brillante y extiendo mi mano para juzgar, castigaré a los que están contra mí y daré a mis enemigos la recompensa que merecen.
41 if I sharpen my glittering sword, my hand grasps it in judgment; I will take vengeance on my adversaries, and will repay those who hate me.
42 Haré que mis flechas se vuelvan rojas de sangre y mi espada se alimentará de carne, con la sangre de los muertos y de los prisioneros, y con las cabezas de mis enemigos de largo cabello».
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.”
43 Alégrate, pueblo suyo, entre las naciones, porque él vengará la sangre de sus siervos, castigará a sus enemigos y quitará el pecado de su tierra en favor de su pueblo.
43 Rejoice, you nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will take vengeance on his adversaries, and will make atonement for his land and for his people.
44 Moisés recitó todas las palabras de este canto delante del pueblo, junto con Josué hijo de Nun.
44 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
45 Cuando terminó de decir todas estas palabras al pueblo,
45 Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
46 Moisés les dijo: «Dejen que todas las palabras que les he dicho hoy penetren profundamente en su corazón. Ordenen a sus hijos que cumplan cada palabra de esta ley.
46 He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 Esto no es algo sin importancia para ustedes; es su vida. Por medio de estas palabras podrán vivir muchos años en la tierra que van a recibir como herencia al otro lado del Jordán».
47 For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
48 Ese mismo día el Señor dijo a Moisés:
48 Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
49 «Sube a esta montaña de Abarim, al monte Nebo, en la tierra de Moab frente a Jericó. Desde allí podrás ver la tierra de Canaán, que doy a los hijos de Israel como herencia.
49 “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.
50 Morirás en la montaña a la que vas y te reunirás con tu pueblo, como murió tu hermano Aarón en el monte Hor y se reunió con su pueblo.
50 Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;
51 Esto sucederá por su pecado contra mí delante de los hijos de Israel, en las aguas de Meriba-Cades, en el desierto de Zin, porque no mantuvieron santo mi nombre entre los hijos de Israel.
51 because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.
52 Verás la tierra delante de ti, pero no entrarás en la tierra que doy a los hijos de Israel».
52 For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”

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).
