1 Tengan cuidado de cumplir todas las órdenes que les doy hoy, para que vivan, se multipliquen y entren a recibir como herencia la tierra que el Señor juró dar a sus padres.
1 You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.
2 Recuerda todo el camino por donde el Señor tu Dios te llevó durante estos cuarenta años en el desierto. Lo hizo para humillarte y ponerte a prueba, para saber lo que había en tu corazón y si guardarías sus órdenes o no.
2 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
3 Te humilló, te dejó pasar hambre y después te dio maná para comer, algo que ni tú ni tus padres conocían. Así te enseñó que el ser humano no vive solamente de pan, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca del Señor.
3 He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth.
4 Durante estos cuarenta años tu ropa no se gastó ni se hincharon tus pies.
4 Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
5 Reconoce en tu corazón que, así como un padre corrige a su hijo, el Señor tu Dios te corrige a ti.
5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
6 Guarda, entonces, las órdenes del Señor tu Dios, anda en sus caminos y témelo.
6 You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Porque el Señor tu Dios te lleva a una buena tierra, una tierra de arroyos, fuentes y manantiales que brotan en los valles y en las colinas;
7 For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
8 una tierra de trigo, cebada, vides, higueras y granados; una tierra de olivos y miel;
8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
9 una tierra donde tendrás pan en abundancia y no te faltará nada; una tierra cuyas piedras contienen hierro y de cuyas colinas podrás sacar cobre.
9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
10 Cuando hayas comido y estés satisfecho, alaba al Señor tu Dios por la buena tierra que te ha dado.
10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.
11 Ten cuidado de no olvidarte del Señor tu Dios dejando de guardar sus órdenes, sus decisiones y sus leyes que te doy hoy.
11 Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
12 Cuando hayas comido hasta quedar satisfecho, hayas construido buenas casas y vivas en ellas,
12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them;
13 cuando aumenten tus vacas y tus rebaños, tu plata y tu oro, y todo lo que tienes se multiplique,
13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14 no permitas que tu corazón se llene de orgullo y te olvides del Señor tu Dios, que te sacó de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud.
14 then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
15 Él te guió por aquel grande y terrible desierto, donde había serpientes venenosas y escorpiones, por una tierra seca y sin agua. Él hizo salir agua para ti de la roca dura.
15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;
16 En el desierto te dio maná para comer, un alimento que tus padres no conocían. Lo hizo para humillarte y ponerte a prueba, y al final hacerte bien.
16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
17 No digas en tu corazón: «Mi poder y la fuerza de mis manos me han dado esta riqueza».
17 and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”
18 Recuerda al Señor tu Dios, porque él es quien te da el poder para obtener riquezas. Así confirma el pacto que juró a tus padres, como sucede hoy.
18 But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
19 Pero si alguna vez te olvidas del Señor tu Dios y sigues a otros dioses, los sirves y los adoras, hoy les aseguro que serán destruidos.
19 It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.
20 Como las naciones que el Señor destruye delante de ustedes, así también ustedes serán destruidos si no escuchan la voz del Señor su Dios.
20 As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.

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).

For, when tempting Him, he said, "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread." But the Lord repulsed him by the commandment of the law, saying, "It is written, Man doth not live by bread alone." As to those words [of His enemy,] "If thou be the Son of God," [the Lord] made no …
