1 Escucha, Israel: hoy vas a cruzar el Jordán para tomar posesión de la tierra de naciones más grandes y fuertes que tú, con ciudades grandes y murallas que parecen llegar hasta el cielo.
1 Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
2 Allí vive un pueblo grande y alto, los hijos de Anac. Tú los conoces y has oído decir: «¿Quién puede hacer frente a los hijos de Anac?».
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
3 Pero debes saber hoy que el Señor tu Dios va delante de ti como un fuego consumidor. Él los destruirá y los hará caer delante de ti. Tú los expulsarás y acabarás con ellos rápidamente, como el Señor te ha prometido.
3 Know therefore today that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.
4 Cuando el Señor tu Dios los haya expulsado delante de ti, no digas en tu corazón: «Por mi justicia el Señor me ha dado esta tierra». El Señor expulsa a estas naciones delante de ti por la maldad de ellas.
4 Don’t say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land;” because Yahweh drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
5 No vas a tomar su tierra por tu justicia ni porque tu corazón sea recto. El Señor tu Dios expulsa a estas naciones por su maldad y para cumplir el juramento que hizo a tus padres Abraham, Isaac y Jacob.
5 Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Debes entender, entonces, que el Señor tu Dios no te da esta buena tierra como recompensa por tu justicia, porque eres un pueblo terco.
6 Know therefore that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 Recuerda y no olvides cómo provocaste la ira del Señor tu Dios en el desierto. Desde el día en que saliste de Egipto hasta que llegaron a este lugar, ustedes se han rebelado contra el Señor.
7 Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.
8 También en Horeb provocaron la ira del Señor, y él se enojó tanto que estuvo a punto de destruirlos.
8 Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.
9 Cuando subí al monte para recibir las tablas de piedra en las que estaba escrito el pacto que el Señor hizo con ustedes, permanecí en el monte cuarenta días y cuarenta noches sin comer ni beber agua.
9 When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
10 El Señor me dio las dos tablas de piedra escritas por el dedo de Dios. En ellas estaban todas las palabras que el Señor les había dicho desde el fuego en el monte, el día en que todo el pueblo estaba reunido.
10 Yahweh delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 Al final de los cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, el Señor me dio las dos tablas de piedra, las tablas del pacto.
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.
12 Entonces el Señor me dijo: «Levántate y baja rápidamente de aquí, porque el pueblo que sacaste de Egipto se ha corrompido. Muy pronto se ha apartado del camino que le ordené seguir y se ha hecho una imagen de metal fundido».
12 Yahweh said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
13 El Señor también me dijo: «He visto que este pueblo es muy terco.
13 Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
14 Déjame destruirlo y borrar su nombre de debajo del cielo. Después haré de ti una nación más grande y fuerte que ellos».
14 Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
15 Entonces di la vuelta y bajé del monte mientras el monte ardía en fuego. Llevaba en mis manos las dos tablas del pacto.
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 Vi que ustedes habían pecado contra el Señor su Dios y se habían hecho una imagen de metal fundido en forma de becerro. Muy pronto se habían apartado del camino que el Señor les había ordenado seguir.
16 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
17 Entonces tomé las dos tablas y las arrojé de mis manos, rompiéndolas ante sus propios ojos.
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 Después me postré delante del Señor como la primera vez, durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, sin comer ni beber agua, por todos los pecados que ustedes habían cometido haciendo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor y provocando su ira.
18 I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
19 Yo tenía miedo de la ira del Señor, porque estaba tan enojado con ustedes que quería destruirlos. Pero una vez más el Señor escuchó mi oración.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.
20 El Señor también estaba tan enojado con Aarón que quería destruirlo, y en ese tiempo también oré por Aarón.
20 Yahweh was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Entonces tomé aquel objeto de su pecado, el becerro que habían hecho, y lo quemé en el fuego. Lo aplasté y lo molí hasta convertirlo en polvo, y arrojé el polvo al arroyo que bajaba del monte.
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
22 También en Tabera, Masah y Kibrot-hataava provocaron la ira del Señor.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.
23 Y cuando el Señor los envió desde Cades-barnea diciendo: «Suban y tomen posesión de la tierra que les he dado», ustedes se rebelaron contra la orden del Señor su Dios. No confiaron en él ni escucharon su voz.
23 When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.
24 Desde el día en que los conocí, ustedes se han rebelado contra el Señor.
24 You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.
25 Así que me postré delante del Señor durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, porque el Señor había dicho que los destruiría.
25 So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.
26 Oré al Señor diciendo: «Oh Señor Dios, no destruyas a tu pueblo y tu herencia, a quienes rescataste con tu gran poder y sacaste de Egipto con mano poderosa.
26 I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Recuerda a tus siervos Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. No mires la terquedad de este pueblo, ni su maldad ni su pecado.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,
28 De lo contrario, la gente de la tierra de donde nos sacaste podrá decir: “El Señor no pudo llevarlos a la tierra que había prometido darles, y como los odiaba, los sacó para matarlos en el desierto”.
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
29 Pero ellos son tu pueblo y tu herencia, a quienes sacaste con tu gran poder y tu brazo extendido».
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

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).
They have speedily departed from the way in which I commanded them to walk, and have made to themselves molten images." And the Lord said unto him, "I have spoken to thee once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people: let Me destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; …
For the number ten, by which the perfection of blessedness is signified, multiplied four times, because of the fourfold divisions of the seasons, and the fourfold divisions of the world, will make the number forty. Wherefore Moses and Elias, and the Mediator Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, fasted forty days, because in the time of this life, continence from the …

For we have absolute certainty that the Decalogue of the law, that is, those ten well-known precepts, were first written by the finger of God on two tables of stone. But the law, when it is not aided by grace, maketh transgressors, and is only in the letter, on account of which the apostle specially declared, "The letter killeth, but …
