LXXUP Updated Brenton English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.
1 ESCUCHAD, cielos, y hablaré; y oiga la tierra los dichos de mi boca.
2 Let my speech be looked for as the rain, And my words come down as dew, As the shower upon the herbage, And as snow upon the grass.
2 Goteará como la lluvia mi doctrina; destilará como el rocío mi razonamiento; como la llovizna sobre la grama, y como las gotas sobre la hierba:
3 For I have called on the name of the Lord: Assign ye greatness to our God.
3 Porque el nombre de Jehová invocaré: engrandeced á nuestro Dios.
4 [As for] God, his works [are] true, And all his ways [are] judgment: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; Just and holy [is] the Lord.
4 [El es] la Roca, cuya obra es perfecta, porque todos sus caminos son rectitud: Dios de verdad, y ninguna iniquidad en él: es justo y recto.
5 They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, A froward and perverse generation.
5 La corrupción no [es] suya: á sus hijos la mancha de ellos, generación torcida y perversa.
6 Do ye thus recompense the Lord? [Is the] people thus foolish and unwise? Did not he himself thy father purchase thee, And make thee, and form thee?
6 ¿Así pagáis á Jehová, pueblo loco é ignorante? ¿no es él tu padre que te poseyó? él te hizo y te ha organizado.
7 Remember the days of old, Consider the years for past ages: Ask thy father, and he shall relate to thee, Thine elders, and they shall tell thee.
7 Acuérdate de los tiempos antiguos; considerad los años de generación y generación: pregunta á tu padre, que él te declarará; á tus viejos, y ellos te dirán.
8◆ When the Most High divided the nations, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the nations According to the number of the angels of God.
8 Cuando el Altísimo hizo heredar á las gentes, cuando hizo dividir los hijos de los hombres, estableció los términos de los pueblos según el número de los hijos de Israel.
9◆ And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.
9 Porque la parte de Jehová es su pueblo; Jacob la cuerda de su heredad.
10 He maintained him in the wilderness, In burning thirst and a dry land: He led him about and instructed him, And kept him as the apple of an eye.
10 Hallólo en tierra de desierto, y en desierto horrible y yermo; trájolo alrededor, instruyólo, guardólo como la niña de su ojo.
11 As an eagle would watch over his brood, And yearns over his young, Receives them having spread his wings, And takes them up on his back:
11 Como el águila despierta su nidada, revolotea sobre sus pollos, extiende sus alas, los toma, los lleva sobre sus plumas:
12 The Lord alone led them, There was no strange god with them.
12 Jehová solo le guió, que no hubo con él dios ajeno.
13 He brought them up on the strength of the land; He fed them with the fruits of the fields; They sucked honey out of the rock, And oil out of the solid rock.
13 Hízolo subir sobre las alturas de la tierra, y comió los frutos del campo, é hizo que chupase miel de la peña, y aceite del duro pedernal;
14 Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs and rams, Of calves and kids, With fat of kidneys of wheat; And he drank wine, the blood of the grape.
14 Manteca de vacas y leche de ovejas, con grosura de corderos, y carneros de Basán; también machos de cabrío, con grosura de riñones de trigo: y sangre de uva bebiste, vino puro.
15 So Jacob ate and was filled, And the beloved one kicked; He grew fat, he became thick and broad: Then he forsook the God that made him, And departed from God his Savior.
15 Y engrosó Jeshurun, y tiró coces: engordástete, engrosástete, cubrístete: y dejó al Dios que le hizo, y menospreció la Roca de su salud.
16 They provoked me to anger with strange gods; With their abominations they bitterly angered me.
16 Despertáronle á celos con los [dioses] ajenos; ensañáronle con abominaciones.
17 They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; To gods whom they knew not: New and fresh [gods] came in, Whom their fathers knew not.
17 Sacrificaron á los diablos, no á Dios; á dioses que no habían conocido, á nuevos [dioses] venidos de cerca, que no habían temido vuestros padres.
18 Thou hast forsaken God that begot thee, And forgotten God who feeds thee.
18 De la Roca que te crió te olvidaste: te has olvidado del Dios tu criador.
19 And the Lord saw, and was jealous; And was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,
19 Y vió[lo] Jehová, y encendióse en ira, por el menosprecio de sus hijos y de sus hijas.
20 And said, I will turn away my face from them, And will show what shall happen to them in the last days; For it is a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faith.
20 Y dijo: Esconderé de ellos mi rostro, veré cuál será su postrimería: que son generación de perversidades, hijos sin fe.
21 They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, They have exasperated me with their idols; And I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
21 Ellos me movieron á celos con lo que no es Dios; hiciéronme ensañar con sus vanidades: yo también los moveré á celos con [un pueblo que] no [es] pueblo, con gente insensata los haré ensañar.
22 For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, It shall burn to hell below; It shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; It shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
22 Porque fuego se encenderá en mi furor, y arderá hasta el profundo; y devorará la tierra y sus frutos, y abrasará los fundamentos de los montes.
23 I will gather evils upon them, And will fight with my weapons against them.
23 Yo allegaré males sobre ellos; emplearé en ellos mis saetas.
24 [They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, And there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, With the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
24 Consumidos [serán] de hambre, y comidos de fiebre ardiente y de amarga pestilencia; diente de bestias enviaré también sobre ellos, con veneno de serpiente de la tierra.
25 Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, And terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; The young man shall perish with the virgin, The suckling with him who has grown old.
25 De fuera desolará la espada, y dentro de las cámaras el espanto; así al mancebo como á la doncella, al que mama como el hombre cano.
26 I said, I will scatter them, And I will cause their memorial to cease from among men.
26 Dije: Echaríalos yo del mundo, haría cesar de entre los hombres la memoria de ellos,
27 Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, Lest their enemies should combine against them; Lest they should say, Our own high arm, And not the Lord, has done all these things.
27 Si no temiese la ira del enemigo, no sea que se envanezcan sus adversarios, no sea que digan: Nuestra mano alta ha hecho todo esto, no Jehová.
28 It is a nation that has lost counsel, Neither is there understanding in them.
28 Porque son gente de perdidos consejos, y no hay en ellos entendimiento.
29 They had not sense to understand: Let them reserve these things against the time to come.
29 ¡Ojalá fueran sabios, que comprendieran esto, y entendieran su postrimería!
30 How should one pursue a thousand, And two rout tens of thousands, If God had not sold them, And the Lord delivered them up?
30 ¿Cómo podría perseguir uno á mil, y dos harían huir á diez mil, si su Roca no los hubiese vendido, y Jehová no los hubiera entregado?
31 For their gods are not as our God, But our enemies [are] void of understanding.
31 Que la roca de ellos no es como nuestra Roca: y nuestros enemigos [sean de ello] jueces.
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, And their vine-branch of Gomorrah: Their grape [is] a grape of gall, Their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
32 Porque de la vid de Sodoma es la vid de ellos, y de los sarmientos de Gomorra: las uvas de ellos son uvas ponzoñosas, racimos muy amargos tienen.
33 Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, And the incurable rage of asps.
33 Veneno de dragones es su vino, y ponzoña cruel de áspides.
34 Lo! are not these things stored up by me, And sealed among my treasures?
34 ¿No tengo yo esto guardado, sellado en mis tesoros?
35 In the day of vengeance I will recompense, Whensoever their foot shall be tripped up; For the day of their destruction [is] near to them, And the judgments at hand are close upon you.
35 Mía es la venganza y el pago, al tiempo que su pie vacilará; porque el día de su aflicción está cercano, y lo que les está preparado se apresura.
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, And shall be comforted over his servants; For he saw that they were utterly weakened, And failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
36 Porque Jehová juzgará á su pueblo, y por amor de sus siervos se arrepentirá, cuando viere que la fuerza pereció, y que no hay guardado, mas desamparado.
37 And the Lord said, Where are their gods On whom they trusted?
37 Y dirá: ¿Dónde están sus dioses, la roca en que se guarecían;
38 The fat of whose sacrifices ye ate, And ye drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them arise and help you, And be your protectors.
38 Que comían el sebo de sus sacrificios, bebían el vino de sus libaciones? Levántense, que os ayuden y os defiendan.
39 Behold, behold that I am [he], And there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will smite, and I will heal; And there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
39 Ved ahora que yo, yo soy, y no hay dioses conmigo: yo hago morir, y yo hago vivir: yo hiero, y yo curo: y no hay quien pueda librar de mi mano.
40 For I will lift up my hand to heaven, And swear by my right hand, And I will say, I live forever.
40 Cuando yo alzaré á los cielos mi mano, y diré: Vivo yo para siempre,
41 For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, And my hand shall take hold of judgment; And I will render judgment to my enemies, And will recompense them that hate me.
41 Si afilare mi reluciente espada, y mi mano arrebatare el juicio, yo volveré la venganza á mis enemigos, y daré el pago á los que me aborrecen.
42 I will make my weapons drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh, [It shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity Of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
42 Embriagaré de sangre mis saetas, y mi espada devorará carne: en la sangre de los muertos y de los cautivos de las cabezas, con venganzas de enemigo.
43 Rejoice, ye heavens, with him, And let all the angels of God worship him; Rejoice ye Gentiles, with his people, And let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; For he will avenge the blood of his sons, And he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, And will reward them that hate him; And the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
43 Alabad, gentes, á su pueblo, porque él vengará la sangre de sus siervos, y volverá la venganza á sus enemigos, y expiará su tierra, á su pueblo.
44 And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Nun.
44 Y vino Moisés, y recitó todas las palabras de este cántico á oídos del pueblo, él, y Josué hijo de Nun.
45 And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.
45 Y acabó Moisés de recitar todas estas palabras á todo Israel;
46 And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which ye shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.
46 Y díjoles: Poned vuestro corazón á todas las palabras que yo os protesto hoy, para que las mandéis á vuestros hijos, y cuiden de poner por obra todas las palabras de esta ley.
47 For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word ye shall live long upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it.
47 Porque no os es cosa vana, mas es vuestra vida: y por ellas haréis prolongar los días sobre la tierra, para poseer la cual pasáis el Jordán.
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,
48 Y habló Jehová á Moisés aquel mismo día, diciendo:
49 Go up to the Mount Abarim, this mountain Nebo which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
49 Sube á este monte de Abarim, al monte Nebo, que está en la tierra de Moab, que está en derecho de Jericó, y mira la tierra de Canaán, que yo doy por heredad á los hijos de Israel;
50 and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be added to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in Mount Hor, and was added to his people.
50 Y muere en el monte al cual subes, y sé reunido á tus pueblos; al modo que murió Aarón tu hermano en el monte de Hor, y fué reunido á sus pueblos:
51 Because ye disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not among the sons of Israel.
51 Por cuanto prevaricasteis contra mí en medio de los hijos de Israel en las aguas de la rencilla de Cades, en el desierto de Zin; porque no me santificasteis en medio de los hijos de Israel.
52 Thou shalt see the land before [thee], but thou shalt not enter into it.
52 Verás por tanto delante de ti la tierra; mas no entrarás allá, á la tierra que doy á los hijos de 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).
