WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Cielo, escucha mientras hablo; Tierra, escucha lo que digo.
1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Que mi enseñanza caiga suavemente como la lluvia; que mis palabras caigan ligeramente como el rocío, como una suave lluvia sobre la hierba nueva, como lluvias primaverales sobre las plantas en crecimiento.
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 Alabaré el carácter del Señor. ¡Que todo el mundo sepa de su grandeza!
3 For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 Él es la Roca. Todo lo que hace es perfecto, porque todos sus caminos son correctos. Él es el Dios confiable que nunca es injusto; es justo y honesto.
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 Sus hijos han actuado inmoralmente con él; por eso ya no son sus hijos a causa de sus manchas pecaminosas. Son un pueblo perverso y corrupto.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 ¿Es esta la manera de pagar al Señor, pueblo tonto y necio? ¿No es tu Padre quien te ha creado? ¿No es él quien te convirtió en una nación y te hizo fuerte?
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 tiempos antiguos; piensa en los tiempos pasados. Pregúntenle a Dios y a su padre, y él se los explicará. Hablen con los ancianos, y ellos se lo harán saber.
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◆ El Altísimo les dio a las naciones sus tierras cuando dividió la raza humana; fijó sus fronteras según sus dioses.
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◆ Pero el pueblo del Señor es suyo, Israel es su elegido.
9 For Yahweh’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 Los encontró en una tierra desértica, en un páramo desolado de torbellinos. Los protegió, los cuidó, los cuidó como a la persona que más amaba.
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 un águila que vigila su nido, revoloteando sobre sus polluelos, extendió sus alas, te recogió y te llevó consigo.
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 El Señor fue el único que te guió; ningún dios extranjero estaba con él.
12 Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.
13 El Señor te dio el país alto para gobernar, y te alimentó con los cultivos del campo para comer. Te alimentó con miel de la roca y aceite de oliva del peñón de piedra,
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 Con yogur del rebaño y leche del rebaño, con grasa de corderos, con carneros de Basán, y cabras, junto con el mejor trigo. Bebiste el vino hecho de las mejores 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 Israel, te engordaste y te rebelaste: con grasa, sobrepeso y llenura de comida. Abandonaste al Dios que te hizo y despreciaste la Roca de tu 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 Celebraste al Señor adorando a dioses extranjeros; lo enojaste con prácticas tan repugnantes.
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.
17 Ofreciste sacrificios a los demonios en lugar de a Dios, a dioses que no conocías, a nuevos dioses que tus antepasados no adoraban.
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 Abandonaste a la Roca que te engendró; olvidaste al Dios que te dio a luz.
18 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
19 El Señor los rechazó cuando vio esto; sus hijos e hijas lo enojaron.
19 Yahweh saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
20 Dijo: Me apartaré de ellos. ¡Entonces veré qué les pasa! Son un pueblo perverso, 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 han dado celos adorando cosas que no son Dios; me han hecho enojar con sus ídolos inútiles. Así que los pondré celosos usando un pueblo que no es realmente una nación; los haré enojar usando extranjeros ignorantes.
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 Mi ira se ha encendido, quemando hasta las profundidades de la tumba, destruyendo la tierra y todo lo que produce, incluso prendiendo fuego a 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 desastres sobre ellos; usaré mis flechas para dispararles.
23 “I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.
24 Se consumirán por el hambre, destruidos por la enfermedad y la peste venenosa. Enviaré animales salvajes para que los muerdan con sus dientes, los colmillos de las serpientes que se deslizan por el suelo.
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 Afuera en las calles la espada mata a sus hijos, dentro de sus casas, mueren de miedo; jóvenes y mujeres jóvenes, niños y ancianos.
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 Les habría dicho que iba a cortarlos en pedazos y borrar incluso su memoria;
26 I said that I would scatter them afar. I would make their memory to cease from among men;
27 Pero no quería oír a sus conquistadores burlándose, sus enemigos malinterpretando lo que había pasado y diciendo: “Ganamos por nuestra propia cuenta, el Señor no tuvo nada que ver”.
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 Israel es una nación que no piensa con claridad; ninguno de ellos entiende nada.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
29 ¡Cómo me gustaría que fueran sabios, para que pudieran entenderlo; así reconocerían cuál puede ser su fin!
29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 ¿Cómo podría un hombre perseguir a mil, o dos hacer huir a diez mil, si su Roca de protección no los hubiera vendido, si el Señor 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 La roca en la que confían no es como nuestra Roca, como incluso nuestros enemigos admiten.
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves concede.
32 Pero su vid proviene de la vid de Sodoma, de los campos de Gomorra. Sus uvas son venenosas; son 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 el veneno de las serpientes, el veneno de las serpientes mortales.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, the cruel venom of asps.
34 He guardado todo esto; está sellado en mis bóvedas.
34 “Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
35 Me aseguro de que se haga justicia, lo pagaré. Se acerca el momento en que caerán, se acerca el día del desastre, su perdición llegará pronto.
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 El Señor va a reivindicar a su pueblo; será misericordioso con sus siervos cuando vea que no les quedan fuerzas y que todos se han ido, ya sean esclavos o libres.
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 Preguntará: ¿Qué pasó con tus dioses, la roca a la que acudiste para protegerte?
37 He will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 ¿Quién comió la grasa de sus sacrificios y bebió el vino de sus ofrendas? ¡Haz que vengan a ayudarte! ¡Haz que vengan a protegerte!
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 ¡Escuchen! ¡Yo soy el único Dios! ¡No hay otro Dios excepto yo! Traigo la muerte y doy la vida; hiero y curo. Nadie puede ser rescatado de mi poder.
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 Levanto mi mano al cielo y declaro solemnemente sobre mi vida eterna,
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare, as I live forever,
41 Cuando afile mi brillante espada y la recoja para ejecutar el juicio, pagaré a mis enemigos y castigaré a los que me odian como se merecen.
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 Mis flechas se emborracharán de sangre, como mi espada come carne; la sangre de los muertos y capturados, las cabezas de los líderes del enemigo.
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 ¡Celebren con él! ¡Que todos los ángeles de Dios lo adoren! Celebren, extranjeros, con su pueblo; porque él pagará a los que mataron a sus hijos. Castigará a sus enemigos, y pagará a los que lo odien; purificará su tierra y 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 Entonces Moisés vino con Josué hijo de Nun y recitó todas las palabras de esta canción para que el pueblo la escuchara.
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 Después de que Moisés terminó de recitar toda la canción a todos los israelitas,
45 Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
46 les dijo: “Piensen en todas estas palabras que les he declarado hoy, para que puedan instruir a sus hijos a seguir cuidadosamente todo lo que está en 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 No traten estas palabras como triviales porque son su vida, y por ellas tendrán larga vida en el país que posean después de cruzar 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 Ese mismo día el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
48 Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
49 “Sube a los montes de Abarim al monte Nebo, en la tierra de Moab, frente a Jericó, y mira la tierra de Canaán, que doy a los israelitas para que la posean.
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 “Allí, en el monte que has subido, morirás y te unirás a tu pueblo en la muerte, de la misma manera que tu hermano Aarón murió en el monte Hor y se unió 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 allí, en las aguas de Meribá-Cades, en el desierto de Zin, me fueron infieles. Me representaste falsamente ante los israelitas cuando no me trataste como a un santo en presencia de ellos.
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 Aunque verás el país que les doy a los israelitas desde lejos, no entrarás en él”.
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).
