1 ¡Escuchen, pueblo de Israel! Dentro de poco van a cruzar el Jordán para entrar y apoderarse del país y de naciones más grandes y fuertes que ustedes; países que tienen grandes ciudades con muros que llegan 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 Los habitantes del país son fuertes y altos; son los descendientes de Anac. Todos ustedes los conocen y han oído el dicho: “¿Quién podría derrotar 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 recuerden que hoy el Señor su Dios irá delante de ustedes. Él es como un fuego consumidor.Los destruirá y los derrotará ante sus ojos. Los expulsará y los aniquilará rápidamente, tal como el Señor se los prometió.
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 su Dios los haya expulsado delante de ustedes, no piensen: “Como somos un buen pueblo, el Señor nos ha traído aquí para apoderarnos de este país”. No, el Señor está expulsando a estas naciones delante de ustedes porque son naciones muy malvadas.
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 es porque tú seas un pueblo bueno con muy moral que irás a apoderarte de su tierra. Sino que es por la maldad de ellos que el Señor tu Dios está echando a estas naciones delante de ti, para cumplir la promesa que les 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 Mejor es que creas que no es por tu bondad que el Señor tu Dios te está dando esta buena tierra para que la poseas, porque en realidad eres un pueblo terco y de corazón duro.
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 cómo provocaste al Señor tu Dios en el desierto! No lo olvides nunca! Desde que dejaste la tierra de Egipto hasta que llegaste aquí, te has rebelado constantemente 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 En Horeb provocaron al Señor, haciéndolo enojar 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 Fue entonces cuando subí a la montaña para recibir las tablas de piedra, las tablas que registraban el pacto que el Señor hizo contigo. Permanecí en la montaña cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, y no comí ni bebí nada.
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 en las que había escrito con su dedo todo lo que te había dicho cuando habló desde el fuego en la montaña cuando estábamos todos reunidos allí.
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 Después de 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 El Señor me dijo: “¡Deprisa! Baja inmediatamente, porque tu pueblo, al que sacaste de Egipto, está cometiendo un terrible pecado. ¡Se han apresurado a desobedecer mis palabras! Han elaborado un ídolo usando 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 estado observando a este pueblo, y son realmente obstinados y duros de corazón.
13 Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
14 Déjeme, para que pueda destruirlos y borrar su nombre por completo. Entonces te convertiré en una nación aún más poderosa e importante 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 Volví a bajar la montaña mientras aún estaba en llamas, llevando 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 Entonces vi cuánto habían pecado contra el Señor su Dios al hacer un becerro fundido. Habían desobedecido rápidamente lo que el Señor les había dicho.
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 Tiré las dos tablas al suelo, rompiéndolas en pedazos mientras ustedes miraban.
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 Luego me acosté en el suelo ante el Señor durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, como lo había hecho antes. No comí ni bebí nada por todos los pecados que habías cometido al hacer lo que era malo ante los ojos del Señor, haciéndole enfadar.
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 Estaba aterrorizado por lo enojado y furioso que estaba el Señor con ustedes. Estaba listo para destruirlos. Pero una vez más el Señor me escuchó.
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 estaba tan enojado con Aarón que estaba listo para destruirlo, pero en ese momento yo también oré por Aarón.
20 Yahweh was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Tomé esa cosa abominable, el becerro que habían hecho, y lo quemé. Luego lo aplasté y lo trituré hasta convertirlo en polvo, y lo arrojé al arroyo que bajaba 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 Pero siguieron provocando al Señor en Tabera, en Masá y en Quibrot-hatavá.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.
23 Cuando el Señor los hizo salir de Cades-barnea, les dijo: “Vayan y tomen el país que les he dado”. Pero ustedes desafiaron la orden del Señor su Dios. No le creyeron y no le obedecieron.
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 Se han rebelado contra el Señor desde el día en que los conocí.
24 You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.
25 Así que me acosté en tierra ante el Señor durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, porque el Señor había amenazado con 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 rogué al Señor diciendo: “Por favor, Señor, Dios, no destruyas a tu pueblo que te pertenece, a los que rescataste y sacaste de Egipto con tu gran poder.
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 Por favor, recuerda a tus siervos Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. Por favor, ignora la terquedad de este pueblo y su malvado 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 Si no lo haces, el pueblo de Egipto dirá: ‘El Señor los sacó para matarlos en el desierto porque no pudo llevarlos a la tierra que les había prometido, y porque los odiaba’.
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, Señor! ¡Te pertenecen! ¡Los sacaste de Egipto con tu asombroso poder y fuerza!”
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 …
