Deuteronomio 29
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
El pacto hecho en Moab
29 [a]Estas son las palabras del pacto que el Señor mandó a Moisés que hiciera con los israelitas en la tierra de Moab(A), además del pacto que Él había hecho con ellos en Horeb(B).
2 [b]Moisés convocó a todo Israel y les dijo: «Delante de sus ojos, ustedes han visto todo lo que el Señor hizo en la tierra de Egipto a Faraón, a todos sus siervos y a toda su tierra, 3 las grandes pruebas que vieron sus[c] ojos, aquellas grandes señales y maravillas(C). 4 Pero hasta el día de hoy el Señor no les ha dado corazón para entender, ni ojos para ver, ni oídos para oír(D).
5 »Yo los he conducido durante cuarenta años en el desierto; no se han gastado los vestidos sobre ustedes y no se ha gastado la sandalia en su[d] pie(E). 6 No han comido pan ni han bebido vino ni sidra(F), para que sepan que Yo soy el Señor su Dios. 7 Cuando ustedes llegaron[e] a este lugar, Sehón, rey de Hesbón, y Og, rey de Basán, salieron a nuestro encuentro para pelear, pero los derrotamos[f](G); 8 y tomamos su tierra y la dimos en herencia a los rubenitas, a los gaditas y a la media tribu de Manasés(H). 9 Guarden, pues, las palabras de este pacto y pónganlas en práctica(I), para que prosperen en todo lo que hagan(J).
10 »Hoy están todos ustedes en presencia del Señor su Dios: sus jefes[g], sus tribus, sus ancianos y sus oficiales, todos los hombres de Israel, 11 sus pequeños, sus mujeres, y el extranjero que está dentro de tus campamentos, desde tu leñador hasta el que saca tu agua(K), 12 para que entres en el pacto con el Señor tu Dios, y en Su juramento que el Señor tu Dios hace hoy contigo, 13 a fin de establecerte hoy como Su pueblo y que Él sea tu Dios, tal como te lo ha dicho y como lo juró a tus padres Abraham, Isaac y Jacob(L).
14 »Y no hago solo con ustedes este pacto(M) y este juramento, 15 sino también con los que hoy están aquí con nosotros en la presencia del Señor nuestro Dios, y con los que no están hoy aquí con nosotros(N) 16 (pues ustedes saben cómo habitamos en la tierra de Egipto y cómo pasamos en medio de las naciones por las cuales han pasado, 17 además, han visto sus abominaciones y los ídolos de madera y de piedra, de plata y de oro(O), que tenían con ellos); 18 no sea que haya entre ustedes hombre o mujer, familia o tribu, cuyo corazón se aleje hoy del Señor nuestro Dios para ir y servir a los dioses de aquellas naciones(P); no sea que haya entre ustedes una raíz que produzca fruto venenoso(Q) y ajenjo.
19 »Y sucederá que cuando él oiga las palabras de esta maldición, se envanecerá[h], diciendo: “Tendré paz aunque ande en la terquedad de mi corazón, a fin de destruir la tierra regada junto con la seca”. 20 El Señor jamás querrá perdonarlo, sino que la ira del Señor y Su celo arderán[i](R) contra ese hombre, y toda maldición que está escrita en este libro caerá sobre él, y el Señor borrará su nombre de debajo del cielo(S). 21 Entonces el Señor lo señalará para adversidad[j] de entre todas las tribus de Israel, según todas las maldiciones del pacto que están escritas en este libro de la ley(T).
22 »Y la generación venidera, sus hijos que se levanten después de ustedes y el extranjero que venga de tierra lejana, cuando vean las plagas de la tierra y las enfermedades con las que el Señor la ha afligido[k](U), dirán: 23 “Toda su tierra es azufre, sal y calcinación(V), sin sembrar, nada germina[l] y el pasto no crece en ella, como en la destrucción de Sodoma y Gomorra, de Adma y de Zeboim que el Señor destruyó en Su ira y en Su furor(W)”. 24 Y todas las naciones dirán: “¿Por qué ha hecho así el Señor a esta tierra? ¿Por qué esta gran explosión[m] de ira(X)?”.
25 »Entonces los hombres dirán: “Porque abandonaron el pacto que el Señor, el Dios de sus padres, hizo con ellos cuando los sacó de la tierra de Egipto(Y). 26 Y ellos fueron y sirvieron a otros dioses y los adoraron, dioses que no habían conocido y los cuales Él no les había dado[n]. 27 Por eso, ardió la ira del Señor contra aquella tierra, para traer sobre ella toda maldición que está escrita en este libro(Z); 28 y el Señor los desarraigó de su tierra con ira, con furor y con gran enojo, y los arrojó a otra tierra(AA), hasta hoy”.
29 »Las cosas secretas pertenecen al Señor nuestro Dios(AB), pero las cosas reveladas nos pertenecen a nosotros y a nuestros hijos para siempre, a fin de que guardemos todas las palabras de esta ley(AC).

New King James Version
The Covenant Renewed in Moab
29 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the (A)covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: (B)“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land— 3 (C)the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet (D)the Lord has not given you a heart to [a]perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. 5 (E)And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. (F)Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. 6 (G)You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, (H)Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. 8 We took their land and (I)gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Therefore (J)keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may (K)prosper in all that you do.
10 “All of you stand today before the Lord your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones and your wives—also the stranger who is in your camp, from (L)the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water— 12 that you may enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and (M)into His oath, which the Lord your God makes with you today, 13 that He may (N)establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, (O)just as He has spoken to you, and (P)just as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 “I make this covenant and this oath, (Q)not with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, (R)as well as with him who is not here with us today 16 (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by, 17 and you saw their [b]abominations and their idols which were among them—wood and stone and silver and gold); 18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, (S)whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, (T)and that there may not be among you a root bearing (U)bitterness or wormwood; 19 and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I [c]follow the (V)dictates of my heart’—(W)as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.
20 (X)“The Lord would not spare him; for then (Y)the anger of the Lord and (Z)His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord (AA)would blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord (AB)would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the (AC)Law, 22 so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they (AD)see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid on it:
23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, (AE)salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, (AF)like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, (AG)‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, (AH)to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord (AI)uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’
29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

The Covenant Renewed in Moab
29 [a] These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel (A)in the land of Moab, besides (B)the covenant that he had made with them at Horeb.
2 [b] And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: (C)“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, 3 the great (D)trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 But to this day (E)the Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear. 5 (F)I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet. 6 (G)You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, (H)Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them. 8 We took their land and (I)gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites. 9 (J)Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper[c] in all that you do.
10 “You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God: the heads of your tribes,[d] your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones, your wives, and the (K)sojourner who is in your camp, from (L)the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, 12 so that you may enter into the (M)sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, 13 that he may (N)establish you today as his people, and that (O)he may be your God, as he promised you, and (P)as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14 It is not with you alone (Q)that I am making this sworn covenant, 15 but with whoever is standing here with us today before the Lord our God, (R)and with whoever is not here with us today.
16 “You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed. 17 And you have seen their detestable things, their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them. 18 Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you (S)a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit, 19 one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.’ This will lead to the sweeping away of moist and dry alike. 20 The Lord will not be willing to forgive him, but rather (T)the anger of the Lord and (U)his jealousy will smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book will settle upon him, and the Lord (V)will blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law. 22 And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, (W)will say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the Lord has made it sick— 23 the whole land burned out with brimstone and (X)salt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, (Y)an overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, (Z)Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and wrath— 24 all the nations (AA)will say, (AB)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25 Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, (AC)bringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28 and the Lord (AD)uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and (AE)cast them into another land, as they are this day.’
29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
