PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Presten atención, oh cielos, y hablaré! Escuche la tierra los dichos de mi boca.
1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Gotee como lluvia mi enseñanza, Y como el rocío destile mi palabra, Como la llovizna sobre la grama, Como aguaceros sobre el césped,
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 voy a proclamar el Nombre de Yavé. ¡Atribuyan la grandeza a nuestro ʼElohim!
3 For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 Él es la Roca cuya obra es perfecta. Todos sus caminos son justos. ʼElohim de fidelidad, sin injusticia, Justo 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 La corrupción no es suya. De sus hijos es la mancha, ¡Generación torcida y perversa!
5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 ¿Así pagan a Yavé, Pueblo necio e insensato? ¿No es Él tu Padre que te creó? ¡Él te hizo y te estableció!
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 Recuerda los días de antaño. Considera los años de muchas generaciones. Pregunta a tu padre, y te declarará, A tus ancianos, y te lo dirán:
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 ʼElyón daba a cada pueblo su heredad, Y distribuyó a los hijos del hombre, Estableció las fronteras de los pueblos, Según 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 la porción de Yavé es su pueblo, Jacob es la porción de su heredad.
9 For Yahweh’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 Lo halló en una tierra desértica, En un yermo de horrible desolación. Lo rodeo y lo cuidó, Lo guardó como la niña de su ojo.
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 el águila agita su nidada, Revolotea sobre sus aguiluchos, Extiende sus alas, los recoge, Y los lleva sobre sus 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 Yavé solo lo condujo. Con Él no hubo ʼEL extraño.
12 Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.
13 Lo hizo cabalgar sobre las alturas de la tierra, Y comió el producto del campo. Le dio a chupar miel de la peña Y aceite del duro pedernal,
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 vacas y leche de ovejas, Grasa de corderos y carneros, Ganado y machos cabríos de Basán Con flor de harina de trigo. Y tomó vino, la sangre de las uvas.
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 engordó Jesurún y tiró coces (Engordaste, te llenaste de grasa). Y abandonó al ʼElohim Quien lo hizo, Menospreció 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 Lo provocaron a celos con ʼelohim extraños. Lo provocaron a ira con repugnancias.
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.
17 Sacrificaron a los demonios, y no a ʼElohim, A ʼelohim que no conocieron, A nuevos ʼelohim venidos de cerca, A los cuales sus antepasados no temieron.
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 ¡De la Roca que te creó te olvidaste, Olvidaste al ʼElohim Quien te dio a luz!
18 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
19 Yavé lo vio, y se encendió en ira Por el menosprecio de sus hijos y de sus hijas.
19 Yahweh saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
20 Dije entonces: Esconderé de ellos mi rostro, Veré cuál sea su fin, Porque son generación perversa, hijos infieles.
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 movieron a celos con lo que no es ʼelohim, Me provocaron a ira con sus ídolos. Así que los moveré a celos con lo que no es pueblo, Los provocaré a ira 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 El fuego se encendió en Mí, Y arderá hasta las profundidades del Seol. Devorará la tierra con sus frutos, Y quemará los cimientos 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 Amontonaré males sobre ellos. Contra ellos usaré mis flechas.
23 “I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.
24 Serán devastados por el hambre, Consumidos por la fiebre Y destrucción amarga. Les enviaré colmillos de fieras, Y veneno de las que reptan en 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 Por fuera los desolará la espada, Y dentro de las cámaras, el espanto, Tanto al joven como a la doncella, Tanto al lactante como al canoso.
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 Me dije: Los dispersaría, Y borraría su memoria de entre los hombres.
26 I said that I would scatter them afar. I would make their memory to cease from among men;
27 Si no entendiera Yo el furor del enemigo, Y que lo entienden mal sus adversarios, No sea que digan: Nuestra mano venció, Yavé 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 carente de consejo, Y no hay entendimiento en ellos.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
29 ¡Quién diera que fueran sabios para entender esto! ¡Que ellos entendieran su futuro!
29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 ¿Cómo podría uno perseguir a 1.000, Y dos lograr que huyan 10.000, Si su Roca no los hubiera vendido, Y Yavé no los hubiera entregado?
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 En verdad su roca no es como nuestra Roca, Aun nuestros mismos enemigos juzgan esto.
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves concede.
32 Porque la vid de Sodoma es la de ellos, Y de los campos de Gomorra. Sus uvas son venenosas, Sus racimos, 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, Y ponzoña mortal de cobras.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, the cruel venom of asps.
34 ¿No tengo esto recogido, Y sellado en mis tesoros?
34 “Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
35 Mía es la venganza y la retribución. A su tiempo se resbalará su pie. Porque el día de calamidad está cerca, Y las cosas venideras se apresuran sobre ellos.
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 Yavé vindicará a su pueblo, Y tendrá compasión de sus esclavos. Cuando vea que flaquea su fuerza, Y que ya no existe esclavo ni liberto,
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 Dirá: ¿Dónde están sus ʼelohim, La roca en la cual se refugiaron?
37 He will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 ¿No comían la grasa de sus sacrificios, Y bebían el vino de sus libaciones? ¡Que se levanten y les ayuden, Y sean su refugio!
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 Pero ahora miren que Yo, Yo soy Él, Y no hay ʼElohim fuera de Mí. Yo hago morir y Yo doy vida. Yo herí y Yo sano, Y no hay uno que libre 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 Porque Yo levanto mi mano al cielo, Y digo: Tan cierto como vivo eternamente,
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare, as I live forever,
41 Cuando afile mi reluciente espada, Y mi mano empuñe la justicia, Tomaré venganza de mis adversarios, Y a los que me aborrecen daré el pago.
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 Embriagaré de sangre mis flechas, Y mi espada devorará carne, Con la sangre de muertos y cautivos, Con cabezas melenudas de enemigos.
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 Exalten, naciones, a su pueblo, Porque Él vengará la sangre de sus esclavos, Retribuirá venganza a sus adversarios, Y apaciguará por la tierra 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 Así que Moisés, acompañado por Josué, hijo de Nun, recitó a oídos del pueblo todas las palabras de este cántico.
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 Moisés terminó de recitar todas esas palabras a todo Israel,
45 Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
46 les dijo: Apliquen su corazón a todas las palabras que testifico hoy contra ustedes, y manden a sus hijos que practiquen todas las Palabras 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 Porque no es palabra vana para ustedes. Ciertamente es su vida, y por ella prolongarán los días en la tierra adonde ustedes van para poseerla, al pasar el 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 Y aquel mismo día Yavé habló a Moisés:
48 Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
49 Sube a esta montaña Abarim, a la montaña Nebo, que está en la tierra de Moab frente a Jericó, y contempla la tierra de Canaán que Yo doy en posesión a los hijos de Israel,
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 y muere en la montaña a la cual tú subes, y sé reunido a tu pueblo, como murió tu hermano Aarón en la montaña Hor, y fue reunido a 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 Porque pecaron contra Mí en medio de los hijos de Israel en las aguas de Meriba en Cades, en el desierto de Zin, al no santificarme 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 Por eso verás la tierra delante de ti, pero no entrarás allá, a 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).
