Deuteronomy 27
New Living Translation
The Altar on Mount Ebal
27 Then Moses and the leaders of Israel gave this charge to the people: “Obey all these commands that I am giving you today. 2 When you cross the Jordan River and enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones and coat them with plaster. 3 Write this whole body of instruction on them when you cross the river to enter the land the Lord your God is giving you—a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. 4 When you cross the Jordan, set up these stones at Mount Ebal and coat them with plaster, as I am commanding you today.
5 “Then build an altar there to the Lord your God, using natural, uncut stones. You must not shape the stones with an iron tool. 6 Build the altar of uncut stones, and use it to offer burnt offerings to the Lord your God. 7 Also sacrifice peace offerings on it, and celebrate by feasting there before the Lord your God. 8 You must clearly write all these instructions on the stones coated with plaster.”
9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests addressed all Israel as follows: “O Israel, be quiet and listen! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God. 10 So you must obey the Lord your God by keeping all these commands and decrees that I am giving you today.”
Curses from Mount Ebal
11 That same day Moses also gave this charge to the people: 12 “When you cross the Jordan River, the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Mount Gerizim to proclaim a blessing over the people. 13 And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Mount Ebal to proclaim a curse.
14 “Then the Levites will shout to all the people of Israel:
15 ‘Cursed is anyone who carves or casts an idol and secretly sets it up. These idols, the work of craftsmen, are detestable to the Lord.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
16 ‘Cursed is anyone who dishonors father or mother.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
17 ‘Cursed is anyone who steals property from a neighbor by moving a boundary marker.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
18 ‘Cursed is anyone who leads a blind person astray on the road.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
19 ‘Cursed is anyone who denies justice to foreigners, orphans, or widows.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
20 ‘Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with one of his father’s wives, for he has violated his father.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
21 ‘Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with an animal.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
22 ‘Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with his sister, whether she is the daughter of his father or his mother.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
23 ‘Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with his mother-in-law.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
24 ‘Cursed is anyone who attacks a neighbor in secret.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
25 ‘Cursed is anyone who accepts payment to kill an innocent person.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
26 ‘Cursed is anyone who does not affirm and obey the terms of these instructions.’
And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’

Deuteronomio 27

Liturgia en Siquén
27 Moisés y los ancianos de Israel dieron al pueblo esta orden:
— Cumplid todos los mandamientos que yo os prescribo hoy. 2 El día en que cruces el Jordán para entrar en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios va a darte, erigirás unas grandes piedras, las revocarás con cal 3 y escribirás en ellas todos los mandamientos de esta ley. Esto lo harás cuando hayas cruzado el Jordán. Así podrás entrar en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios va a darte: una tierra que mana leche y miel, tal como te prometió el Señor, el Dios de tus antepasados. 4 Cuando estéis al otro lado del Jordán, erigiréis esas piedras en el monte Ébal, tal como os ordeno hoy y las revocarás con cal. 5 Construirás allí un altar de piedra en honor del Señor tu Dios. No usarás ningún instrumento de hierro para labrar las piedras, 6 porque el altar del Señor tu Dios deberá estar construido con piedras sin labrar. Sobre él ofrecerás holocaustos al Señor tu Dios; 7 ofrecerás sacrificios de comunión y los comerás allí haciendo fiesta ante el Señor tu Dios; 8 y sobre las piedras escribirás, de manera bien legible, todos los mandamientos de esta ley.
9 Después, Moisés y los sacerdotes levitas dijeron a todo Israel:
— ¡Guarda silencio, Israel, y presta atención! Hoy te has convertido en el pueblo del Señor tu Dios. 10 Obedecerás al Señor tu Dios y cumplirás los mandamientos y preceptos que yo te prescribo hoy.
Las doce maldiciones
11 Aquel mismo día Moisés dio esta orden al pueblo:
12 — Cuando hayáis cruzado el Jordán, las tribus de Simeón, Leví, Judá, Isacar, José y Benjamín se situarán en el monte Garizín para pronunciar la bendición a favor del pueblo; 13 y las tribus de Rubén, Gad, Aser, Zabulón, Dan y Neftalí se situarán en el monte Ébal para pronunciar la maldición. 14 Los levitas se dirigirán a todos los israelitas y proclamarán en voz alta lo siguiente:
15 ¡Maldito sea quien haga un ídolo tallado o de metal fundido —creación humana, que el Señor abomina— y lo adore en secreto!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
16 ¡Maldito sea quien desprecie a su padre o a su madre!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
17 ¡Maldito sea quien mueva los mojones de su vecino!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
18 ¡Maldito sea quien desvíe de su camino a un ciego!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
19 ¡Maldito sea quien quebrante los derechos del inmigrante, del huérfano o de la viuda!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
20 ¡Maldito sea quien se acueste con una de las mujeres de su padre, porque usurpa los derechos de su padre!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
21 ¡Maldito sea quien tenga trato sexual con un animal!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
22 ¡Maldito sea quien se acueste con su hermana, hija de su padre o de su madre!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
23 ¡Maldito sea quien se acueste con su suegra!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
24 ¡Maldito sea quien mate a escondidas a su prójimo!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
25 ¡Maldito sea quien se deje sobornar para quitar la vida a un inocente!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
26 ¡Maldito sea quien no cumpla y ponga en práctica los mandamientos de esta ley!
Y el pueblo a una responderá: ¡Amén!
