Deuteronomy 32
Complete Jewish Bible
Parashah 53: Ha’azinu (Hear) 32:1–52
32 “Hear, oh heavens, as I speak!
Listen, earth, to the words from my mouth!
2 May my teaching fall like rain.
May my speech condense like dew,
like light rain on blades of grass,
or showers on growing plants.
3 “For I will proclaim the name of Adonai.
Come, declare the greatness of our God!
4 The Rock! His work is perfect,
for all his ways are just.
A trustworthy God who does no wrong,
he is righteous and straight.
5 “He is not corrupt; the defect is in his children,
a crooked and perverted generation.
6 You foolish people, so lacking in wisdom,
is this how you repay Adonai?
He is your father, who made you his!
It was he who formed and prepared you!
(ii) 7 “Remember how the old days were;
think of the years through all the ages.
Ask your father — he will tell you;
your leaders too — they will inform you.
8 “When ‘Elyon gave each nation its heritage,
when he divided the human race,
he assigned the boundaries of peoples
according to Isra’el’s population;
9 but Adonai’s share was his own people,
Ya‘akov his allotted heritage.
10 “He found his people in desert country,
in a howling, wasted wilderness.
He protected him and cared for him,
guarded him like the pupil of his eye,
11 like an eagle that stirs up her nest,
hovers over her young,
spreads out her wings, takes them
and carries them as she flies.
12 “Adonai alone led his people;
no alien god was with him.
(iii) 13 He made them ride on the heights of the earth.
They ate the produce of the fields.
He had them suck honey from the rocks
and olive oil from the crags,
14 curds from the cows and milk from the sheep,
with lamb fat, rams from Bashan and goats,
with the finest wheat flour;
and you drank sparkling wine from the blood of grapes.
15 “But Yeshurun grew fat and kicked
(you grew fat, thick, gross!).
He abandoned God his Maker;
he scorned the Rock, his salvation.
16 They roused him to jealousy with alien gods,
provoked him with abominations.
17 They sacrificed to demons, non-gods,
gods that they had never known,
new gods that had come up lately,
which your ancestors had not feared.
18 You ignored the Rock who fathered you,
you forgot God, who gave you birth.
(iv) 19 “Adonai saw and was filled with scorn
at his sons’ and daughters’ provocation.
20 He said, ‘I will hide my face from them
and see what will become of them;
for they are a perverse generation,
untrustworthy children.
21 They aroused my jealousy with a non-god
and provoked me with their vanities;
I will arouse their jealousy with a non-people
and provoke them with a vile nation.
22 “‘For my anger has been fired up.
It burns to the depths of Sh’ol,
devouring the earth and its crops,
kindling the very roots of the hills.
23 I will heap disasters on them
and use up all my arrows against them.
24 “‘Fatigued by hunger, they will be
consumed by fever and bitter defeat;
I will send them the fangs of wild beasts,
and the poison of reptiles crawling in the dust.
25 Outside, the sword makes parents childless;
inside, there is panic,
as young men and girls alike are slain,
sucklings and graybeards together.
26 “‘I considered putting an end to them,
erasing their memory from the human race;
27 but I feared the insolence of their enemy,
feared that their foes would mistakenly think,
“We ourselves accomplished this;
Adonai had nothing to do with it.”
28 “‘They are a nation without common sense,
utterly lacking in discernment.
(v) 29 If they were wise they could figure it out
and understand their destiny.
30 After all, how can one chase a thousand
and two put ten thousand to rout,
unless their Rock sells them to their enemies,
unless Adonai hands them over?
31 For our enemies have no rock like our Rock —
even they can see that!
32 “‘Rather, their vine is from the vine of S’dom,
from the fields of ‘Amora —
their grapes are poisonous,
their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is snake poison,
the cruel venom of vipers.
34 “‘Isn’t this hidden with me,
sealed in my storehouses?
35 Vengeance and payback are mine
for the time when their foot slips;
for the day of their calamity is coming soon,
their doom is rushing upon them.’
36 “Yes, Adonai will judge his people,
taking pity on his servants,
when he sees that their strength is gone,
that no one is left, slave or free.
37 Then he will ask, ‘Where are their gods,
the rock in whom they trusted?
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let him get up and help you,
let him protect you!
39 See now that I, yes, I, am he;
and there is no god beside me.
I put to death, and I make alive;
I wound, and I heal;
no one saves anyone from my hand!
(vi) 40 “‘For I lift up my hand to heaven and swear,
“As surely as I am alive forever,
41 if I sharpen my flashing sword
and set my hand to judgment,
I will render vengeance to my foes,
repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
my sword will devour flesh —
the blood of the slain and the captives,
flesh from the wild-haired heads of the enemy.”’
43 “Sing out, you nations, about his people!
For he will avenge the blood of his servants.
He will render vengeance to his adversaries
and make atonement for the land of his people.”
(vii) 44 Moshe came and proclaimed all the words of this song in the hearing of the people and of Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 When he had finished speaking all these words to all Isra’el, 46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words of my testimony against you today, so that you can use them in charging your children to be careful to obey all the words of this Torah. 47 For this is not a trivial matter for you; on the contrary, it is your life! Through it you will live long in the land you are crossing the Yarden to possess.”
(Maftir) 48 That same day Adonai said to Moshe, 49 “Go up into the ‘Avarim Range, to Mount N’vo, in the land of Mo’av across from Yericho; and look out over the land of Kena‘an, which I am giving the people of Isra’el as a possession. 50 On the mountain you are ascending you will die and be gathered to your people, just as Aharon your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people. 51 The reason for this is that both of you broke faith with me there among the people of Isra’el at the M’rivat-Kadesh Spring, in the Tzin Desert; you failed to demonstrate my holiness there among the people of Isra’el. 52 So you will see the land from a distance, but you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Isra’el.”

Deuteronomio 32
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
32 «Escuchad, cielos, y hablaré;
oye, tierra, las palabras de mi boca.
2 Que caiga mi enseñanza como lluvia
y desciendan mis palabras como rocío,
como aguacero sobre el pasto nuevo,
como lluvia abundante sobre plantas tiernas.
3 Proclamaré el nombre del Señor.
¡Alabad la grandeza de nuestro Dios!
4 Él es la Roca, sus obras son perfectas,
y todos sus caminos son justos.
Dios es fiel; no practica la injusticia.
Él es recto y justo.
5 Actuaron contra él de manera corrupta;
para vergüenza de ellos, ya no son sus hijos;
¡son una generación torcida y perversa!
6 »¿Y así le pagas al Señor,
pueblo tonto y necio?
¿Acaso no es tu Padre, tu creador,
el que te hizo y te formó?
7 Recuerda los días de antaño;
considera las épocas del remoto pasado.
Pídele a tu padre que te lo diga,
y a los ancianos que te lo expliquen.
8 Cuando el Altísimo dio su herencia a las naciones,
cuando dividió a toda la humanidad,
les puso límites a los pueblos
según el número de los hijos de Israel.
9 Porque la porción del Señor es su pueblo;
Jacob es su herencia asignada.
10 Lo halló en una tierra desolada,
en la rugiente soledad del yermo.
Lo protegió y lo cuidó;
lo guardó como a la niña de sus ojos;
11 como un águila que agita el nido
y revolotea sobre sus polluelos,
que despliega su plumaje
y los lleva sobre sus alas.
12 »Solo el Señor lo guiaba;
ningún dios extraño iba con él.
13 Lo hizo cabalgar sobre las alturas de la tierra
y lo alimentó con el fruto de los campos.
Lo nutrió con miel y aceite,
que hizo brotar de la roca;
14 con natas y leche de la manada y del rebaño,
y con cebados corderos y cabritos;
con toros selectos de Basán
y las mejores espigas del trigo.
¡Bebió la sangre espumosa de la uva!
15 »Jesurún[a] engordó y pateó;
se hartó de comida,
y se puso corpulento y rollizo.
Abandonó al Dios que le dio vida
y rechazó a la Roca, su Salvador.
16 Lo provocó a celos con dioses extraños
y lo hizo enojar con sus ídolos detestables.
17 Ofreció sacrificios a los demonios,
que no son Dios;
dioses que no había conocido,
dioses recién aparecidos,
dioses no honrados por sus padres.
18 ¡Desertaste de la Roca que te engendró!
¡Olvidaste al Dios que te dio vida!
19 »Al ver esto, el Señor los rechazó
porque sus hijos y sus hijas lo irritaron.
20 “Les voy a dar la espalda —dijo—,
y a ver en qué terminan;
son una generación perversa,
¡son unos hijos infieles!
21 Me provocaron a celos con lo que no es Dios como yo,
y me enojaron con sus ídolos inútiles.
Pues yo haré que ellos sientan envidia de los que no son pueblo;
voy a irritarlos con una nación insensata.
22 Se ha encendido el fuego de mi ira,
que quema hasta lo profundo del abismo.
Devorará la tierra y sus cosechas,
y consumirá la raíz de las montañas.
23 »”Amontonaré calamidades sobre ellos
y gastaré mis flechas en su contra.
24 Enviaré a que los consuman el hambre,
la pestilencia nauseabunda y la plaga mortal.
Lanzaré contra ellos los colmillos de las fieras
y el veneno de las víboras que se arrastran por el polvo.
25 En la calle, la espada los dejará sin hijos,
y en sus casas reinará el terror.
Perecerán los jóvenes y las doncellas,
los que aún maman y los que peinan canas.
26 Me dije: ‘Voy a dispersarlos;
borraré de la tierra su memoria’.
27 Pero temí las provocaciones del enemigo;
temí que el adversario no entendiera
y llegara a pensar: ‘Hemos triunfado;
nada de esto lo ha hecho el Señor’ ”.
28 »Como nación, son unos insensatos;
carecen de discernimiento.
29 ¡Ojalá fueran sabios y entendieran esto,
y comprendieran cuál será su fin!
30 ¿Cómo podría un hombre perseguir a mil
si su Roca no los hubiera vendido?
¿Cómo podrían dos hacer huir a diez mil
si el Señor no los hubiera entregado?
31 Su roca no es como la nuestra.
¡Aun nuestros enemigos lo reconocen!
32 Su viña es un retoño de Sodoma,
y de los campos de Gomorra.
Sus uvas están llenas de veneno;
sus racimos, preñados de amargura.
33 Su vino es veneno de víboras,
ponzoña mortal de serpientes.
34 »“¿No he tenido esto en reserva,
y lo he sellado en mis archivos?
35 Mía es la venganza; yo pagaré.
A su debido tiempo, su pie resbalará.
Se apresura su desastre,
y el día del juicio se avecina”.
36 »El Señor defenderá a su pueblo
cuando lo vea sin fuerzas;
tendrá compasión de sus siervos
cuando ya no haya ni esclavos ni libres.
37 Y les dirá: “¿Dónde están ahora sus dioses,
la roca en la cual se refugiaron?
38 ¿Dónde están los dioses
que comieron la gordura de sus sacrificios
y bebieron el vino de sus libaciones?
¡Que se levanten a ayudaros!
¡Que os den abrigo!
39 »”¡Ved ahora que yo soy único!
No hay otro Dios fuera de mí.
Yo doy la muerte y devuelvo la vida,
causo heridas y doy sanidad.
Nadie puede librarse de mi poder.
40 Levanto la mano al cielo y declaro:
Tan seguro como que vivo para siempre,
41 cuando afile mi espada reluciente
y en el día del juicio la tome en mis manos,
me vengaré de mis adversarios;
¡les daré su merecido a los que me odian!
42 Mis flechas se embriagarán de sangre,
y mi espada se hartará de carne:
sangre de heridos y de cautivos,
cabezas de caudillos enemigos”.
43 »Alegraos, naciones, con el pueblo de Dios;[b]
él vengará la sangre de sus siervos.
¡Sí! Dios se vengará de sus enemigos,
y hará expiación por su tierra y por su pueblo».
44 Acompañado de Josué hijo de Nun, Moisés fue y recitó ante el pueblo todas las palabras de este cántico. 45 Cuando terminó, les dijo a todos los israelitas: 46 «Meditad bien en todo lo que os he declarado solemnemente este día, y decidles a vuestros hijos que obedezcan fielmente todas las palabras de esta ley. 47 Porque no son palabras vanas para vosotros, sino que de ellas depende vuestra vida; por ellas vivirán mucho tiempo en el territorio que vais a poseer al otro lado del Jordán».
Anuncio de la muerte de Moisés
48 Ese mismo día el Señor le dijo a Moisés: 49 «Sube a las montañas de Abarín, y contempla desde allí el monte Nebo, en el territorio de Moab, frente a Jericó, y el territorio de Canaán, el cual voy a dar en posesión a los israelitas. 50 En el monte al que vas a subir morirás, y te reunirás con los tuyos, así como tu hermano Aarón murió y se reunió con sus antepasados en el monte Hor. 51 Esto será así porque, a la vista de todos los israelitas, vosotros dos me fuisteis infieles en las aguas de Meribá Cades; en el desierto de Zin no honrasteis mi santidad. 52 Por eso no entrarás en el territorio que voy a darle al pueblo de Israel; solamente podrás verlo de lejos».
Deuteronomy 32
King James Version
32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
