1 »Escucha, Israel: hoy mismo vas a cruzar el río Jordán e iniciarás la conquista de las naciones que viven al otro lado del río.
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 Estas naciones son más numerosas y poderosas que tú. Sus habitantes viven en ciudades grandes y amuralladas. Entre ellos están los famosos gigantes, descendientes de Anac, a quienes nadie ha podido vencer.
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 el Señor tu Dios irá delante de ti como un fuego consumidor para destruirlos de modo que puedas vencerlos con rapidez y expulsarlos de la tierra.
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 haya realizado todo esto, no te atrevas a decir que todo esto lo hizo por tu rectitud. La realidad es otra. El Señor lo hará por la impiedad de las otras naciones.
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 El Señor los expulsará de la tierra no por tu bondad o rectitud, sino debido a la impiedad de las otras naciones, y para cumplir la promesa que hizo a tus antepasados 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 Te lo digo una vez más: El Señor tu Dios no te da esta buena tierra porque tú seas justo, porque no lo eres: Al contrario, eres un pueblo soberbio y rebelde.
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 »No lo olvides, más bien recuerda las muchas veces que hiciste enojar al Señor tu Dios en el desierto. Esto lo hiciste, una y otra vez, desde el día que te sacó de Egipto hasta ahora. Todo este tiempo te has rebelado continuamente contra Dios.
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 »Recuerda también que lo hiciste enojar cuando estabas esperando al pie del monte Horeb. El Señor estaba dispuesto a destruirte.
8 Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.
9 Yo estaba en el monte en ese momento recibiendo las tablas de piedra, las tablas de la alianza que el Señor había hecho contigo. Estuve allí cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, y en todo ese tiempo nada comí. Ni siquiera tomé 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 Al finalizar esos cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, el Señor me dio las tablas de la alianza en las que Dios mismo había escrito las palabras que promulgó desde la cumbre de la montaña cubierta de fuego mientras el pueblo miraba desde abajo,
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 Not in this translation
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 y me dijo que bajara rápidamente porque el pueblo que había librado de Egipto se había corrompido apartándose de la voluntad del Señor y había hecho un ídolo 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 me dijo entonces: “Déjame que destruya a este pueblo terco. Borraré su nombre de debajo del cielo y de ti haré una nación más numerosa y más poderosa de lo que ellos son ahora”.
13 Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
14 Not in this translation
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 »De inmediato descendí de la montaña que ardía en fuego, llevando en mis manos las dos tablas de la alianza.
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 Cuando bajé con horror descubrí que ustedes habían pecado contra el Señor su Dios. ¡Hicieron un ídolo en forma de becerro y lo adoraron! ¡No les tomó nada de tiempo apartarse de la voluntad de Dios!
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 Tomé las dos tablas de piedra y las estrellé contra el piso; ¡frente a ustedes se hicieron añicos!
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 Tras esto, y durante otros cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, estuve delante del Señor sin probar un solo bocado ni un trago de agua, porque ustedes habían pecado grandemente ante el Señor, e hicieron que se enojara grandemente.
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 temía por ustedes, porque el Señor estaba dispuesto a destruirlos. Pero en aquella oportunidad, nuevamente respondió positivamente a 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 Aarón estaba en gran peligro de perder la vida también, porque el Señor estaba sumamente airado con él. Pero también intercedí por él.
20 Yahweh was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Sin perder tiempo, tomé el objeto del pecado de todos ustedes, el ídolo, y lo quemé, lo reduje a polvo y lo lancé al arroyo que descendía de la montaña.
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 »Nuevamente en Taberá, y luego en Masá y en Quibrot Hatavá, ustedes hicieron que se encendiera la ira del Señor.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.
23 En Cades Barnea, cuando el Señor les dijo que entraran a poseer la tierra que les había dado, se rebelaron y no quisieron creer que Dios los ayudaría; no quisieron obedecerle.
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 Ustedes han sido rebeldes contra el Señor su Dios desde el primer día que los conocí.
24 You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.
25 Cuarenta días y cuarenta noches estuve postrado delante del Señor, porque iba a destruirlos.
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 »Le supliqué al Señor, y le dije: “Señor y Dios mío, no destruyas a tu pueblo. Es tu propia herencia que rescataste de Egipto con tu maravilloso poder y gloriosa fuerza.
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 No tomes en cuenta las rebeliones y la soberbia de este pueblo. Recuerda las promesas que les hiciste a tus siervos Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. No tomes en cuenta la maldad y el pecado de este pueblo,
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 porque si lo destruyes, los egipcios dirán que no pudiste introducirlos en la tierra que les prometiste, o que los destruiste porque los odiabas, que los llevaste al desierto para darles muerte allí.
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 Ellos son tu pueblo, y la herencia que tú trajiste de Egipto con tu gran poder y con tu brazo poderoso”.
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 …
