Deuteronomio 31
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

Josué sucesor de Moisés

31 Entonces Moisés fue y habló estas palabras a todo Israel, 2 y les dijo: «Hoy tengo 120 años(A); ya no puedo ir ni venir(B), y el Señor me ha dicho: “No pasarás este Jordán(C)”. 3 El Señor tu Dios pasará delante de ti. Él destruirá estas naciones delante de ti y las desalojarás. Josué es el que pasará delante de ti, tal como el Señor ha dicho(D). 4 El Señor hará con ellos como hizo con Sehón y con Og, reyes de los amorreos, y con su tierra cuando Él los destruyó. 5 Y el Señor los entregará delante de ustedes(E) y harán con ellos conforme a los mandamientos que les he ordenado. 6 Sean firmes y valientes(F), no teman ni se aterroricen ante ellos(G), porque el Señor tu Dios es el que va contigo(H); no te dejará ni te desamparará(I)». 7 Entonces Moisés llamó a Josué y le dijo en presencia de todo Israel: «Sé firme y valiente, porque tú entrarás con este pueblo en la tierra que el Señor ha jurado a sus padres que les daría, y se la darás en heredad(J). 8 El Señor irá delante de ti; Él estará contigo(K), no te dejará ni te desamparará(L); no temas ni te acobardes».

Últimas disposiciones de Moisés

9 Moisés escribió esta ley y la dio a los sacerdotes, hijos de Leví, que llevaban el arca del pacto del Señor(M), y a todos los ancianos de Israel. 10 Entonces Moisés les ordenó: «Al fin de cada siete años, durante el tiempo del año de la remisión de deudas(N), en la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos[a](O), 11 cuando todo Israel venga a presentarse delante del Señor tu Dios(P) en el lugar que Él escoja(Q), leerás esta ley delante de todo Israel, a oídos de ellos(R). 12 Congrega al pueblo, hombres, mujeres y niños, y al[b] extranjero que está en tu ciudad[c], para que escuchen, aprendan a temer al Señor tu Dios(S), y cuiden de observar todas las palabras de esta ley. 13 Y sus hijos, que no la conocen, la oirán y aprenderán a temer al Señor su Dios, mientras vivan en la tierra adonde ustedes[d] van, cruzando al otro lado del Jordán para poseerla».

14 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: «El tiempo de tu muerte está[e] cerca(T); llama a Josué y preséntense en la tienda de reunión(U) para que Yo le dé mis órdenes». Fueron, pues, Moisés y Josué y se presentaron en la tienda de reunión. 15 El Señor se apareció en la tienda en una columna de nube, y la columna de nube se puso a la entrada de la tienda(V). 16 Y el Señor dijo a Moisés: «Mira, tú vas a dormir con tus padres(W); y este pueblo se levantará y fornicará tras los dioses extranjeros de la tierra(X) en la cual va a entrar, y me dejará y quebrantará Mi pacto que hice con él(Y). 17 Entonces Mi ira se encenderá contra él en aquel día(Z); los abandonaré(AA) y esconderé Mi rostro de ellos(AB). Será consumido, y muchos males y tribulaciones vendrán sobre él, por lo que dirá en aquel día: “¿No será porque mi Dios no está en medio de mí que me han alcanzado estos males(AC)?”. 18 Pero ciertamente esconderé Mi rostro en aquel día por todo el mal que habrá hecho, pues se volverá a otros dioses.

19 »Ahora pues, escriban este cántico para ustedes, y tú, enséñaselo a los israelitas; ponlo en su boca, para que este cántico me sea por testigo contra los israelitas(AD). 20 Porque cuando Yo los introduzca en la tierra que mana leche y miel, la cual juré a sus padres, y ellos coman y se sacien(AE) y prosperen[f], se volverán a otros dioses(AF) y los servirán, y me despreciarán y quebrantarán Mi pacto. 21 Sucederá entonces que cuando muchos males y tribulaciones vengan sobre ellos, este cántico declarará contra[g] ellos como testigo (pues no lo olvidarán los labios de sus descendientes[h](AG)). Porque Yo conozco el plan que ahora están tramando[i] antes de que los traiga a la tierra que juré darles(AH)». 22 Y escribió Moisés este cántico aquel mismo día, y lo enseñó a los israelitas(AI).

23 Entonces el Señor nombró a Josué, hijo de Nun, y le dijo(AJ): «Sé fuerte y valiente, pues tú llevarás a los israelitas a la tierra que les he jurado(AK), y Yo estaré contigo(AL)».

La ley es colocada junto al arca

24 Cuando Moisés terminó de escribir las palabras de esta ley en un libro, hasta su conclusión, 25 ordenó a los levitas que llevaban el arca del pacto del Señor(AM): 26 «Tomen este libro de la ley y colóquenlo junto al arca del pacto del Señor su Dios, para que permanezca[j] allí como testigo contra ustedes. 27 Porque conozco su rebelión(AN) y su obstinación[k](AO); si estando yo hoy todavía vivo con ustedes, han sido rebeldes contra el Señor; ¿cuánto más lo serán después de mi muerte? 28 Reúnan ante mí a todos los ancianos de sus tribus y a sus oficiales, para que hable estas palabras a sus oídos, y ponga a los cielos y a la tierra como testigos en su contra(AP). 29 Porque yo sé que después de mi muerte se corromperán y se apartarán del camino que les he mandado(AQ); y el mal vendrá sobre ustedes en los postreros días, pues harán lo que es malo a la vista del Señor, provocándole a ira con la obra de sus manos».

30 Entonces Moisés habló a oídos de toda la asamblea de Israel las palabras de este cántico hasta terminarlas.

Joshua to Succeed Moses

31 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: 2 “I am now a hundred and twenty years old(A) and I am no longer able to lead you.(B) The Lord has said to me, ‘You shall not cross the Jordan.’(C) 3 The Lord your God himself will cross(D) over ahead of you.(E) He will destroy these nations(F) before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross(G) over ahead of you, as the Lord said. 4 And the Lord will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og,(H) the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. 5 The Lord will deliver(I) them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous.(J) Do not be afraid or terrified(K) because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you;(L) he will never leave you(M) nor forsake(N) you.”

7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said(O) to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them,(P) and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you;(Q) he will never leave you nor forsake you.(R) Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Public Reading of the Law

9 So Moses wrote(S) down this law and gave it to the Levitical priests, who carried(T) the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 Then Moses commanded them: “At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts,(U) during the Festival of Tabernacles,(V) 11 when all Israel comes to appear(W) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose,(X) you shall read this law(Y) before them in their hearing. 12 Assemble the people—men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your towns—so they can listen and learn(Z) to fear(AA) the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. 13 Their children,(AB) who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

Israel’s Rebellion Predicted

14 The Lord said to Moses, “Now the day of your death(AC) is near. Call Joshua(AD) and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, where I will commission him.(AE)” So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.(AF)

15 Then the Lord appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.(AG) 16 And the Lord said to Moses: “You are going to rest with your ancestors,(AH) and these people will soon prostitute(AI) themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake(AJ) me and break the covenant I made with them. 17 And in that day I will become angry(AK) with them and forsake(AL) them; I will hide(AM) my face(AN) from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters(AO) and calamities will come on them, and in that day they will ask, ‘Have not these disasters come on us because our God is not with us?’(AP) 18 And I will certainly hide my face in that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.

19 “Now write(AQ) down this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness(AR) for me against them. 20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their ancestors,(AS) and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods(AT) and worship them,(AU) rejecting me and breaking my covenant.(AV) 21 And when many disasters and calamities come on them,(AW) this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do,(AX) even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath.” 22 So Moses wrote(AY) down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.

23 The Lord gave this command(AZ) to Joshua son of Nun: “Be strong and courageous,(BA) for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you.”

24 After Moses finished writing(BB) in a book the words of this law(BC) from beginning to end, 25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried(BD) the ark of the covenant of the Lord: 26 “Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.(BE) 27 For I know how rebellious(BF) and stiff-necked(BG) you are. If you have been rebellious against the Lord while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die! 28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to testify against them.(BH) 29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt(BI) and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster(BJ) will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse his anger by what your hands have made.”

The Song of Moses

30 And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel:

Joshua the New Leader of Israel(A)

31 Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. 2 And he said to them: “I (B)am one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no longer (C)go out and come in. Also the Lord has said to me, (D)‘You shall not cross over this Jordan.’ 3 The Lord your God (E)Himself crosses over before you; He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. (F)Joshua himself crosses over before you, just (G)as the Lord has said. 4 (H)And the Lord will do to them (I)as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites and their land, when He destroyed them. 5 (J)The Lord will give them over to you, that you may do to them according to every commandment which I have commanded you. 6 (K)Be strong and of good courage, (L)do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, (M)He is the One who goes with you. (N)He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

7 Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, (O)“Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. 8 And the Lord, (P)He is the One who goes before you. (Q)He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

The Law to Be Read Every Seven Years

9 So Moses wrote this law (R)and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, (S)who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the (T)year of release, (U)at the Feast of Tabernacles, 11 when all Israel comes to (V)appear before the Lord your God in the (W)place which He chooses, (X)you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 (Y)Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God and carefully observe all the words of this law, 13 and that their children, (Z)who have not known it, (AA)may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.”

Prediction of Israel’s Rebellion

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, (AB)“Behold, the days approach when you must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of meeting, that (AC)I may [a]inaugurate him.”

So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tabernacle of meeting. 15 Now (AD)the Lord appeared at the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood above the door of the tabernacle.

16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you will [b]rest with your fathers; and this people will (AE)rise and (AF)play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to be among them, and they will (AG)forsake Me and (AH)break My covenant which I have made with them. 17 Then My anger shall be (AI)aroused against them in that day, and (AJ)I will forsake them, and I will (AK)hide My face from them, and they shall be [c]devoured. And many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, (AL)‘Have not these evils come upon us because our God is (AM)not among us?’ 18 And (AN)I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.

19 “Now therefore, write down this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be (AO)a witness for Me against the children of Israel. 20 When I have brought them to the land flowing with milk and honey, of which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and filled themselves (AP)and grown fat, (AQ)then they will turn to other gods and serve them; and they will provoke Me and break My covenant. 21 Then it shall be, (AR)when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song will testify against them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten in the mouths of their descendants, for (AS)I know the inclination (AT)of their behavior today, even before I have brought them to the land of which I swore to give them.”

22 Therefore Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel. 23 (AU)Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, (AV)“Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you.”

24 So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished, 25 that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying: 26 “Take this Book of the Law, (AW)and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there (AX)as a witness against you; 27 (AY)for I know your rebellion and your (AZ)stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the Lord, then how much more after my death? 28 Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing (BA)and call heaven and earth to witness against them. 29 For I know that after my death you will (BB)become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And (BC)evil will befall you (BD)in the latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.”

The Song of Moses

30 Then Moses spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were ended:
