New International Version
Deuteronomy 32
New International Version
32 Listen,(A) you heavens,(B) and I will speak;
hear, you earth, the words of my mouth.(C)
2 Let my teaching fall like rain(D)
and my words descend like dew,(E)
like showers(F) on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.
3 I will proclaim(G) the name of the Lord.(H)
Oh, praise the greatness(I) of our God!
4 He is the Rock,(J) his works are perfect,(K)
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God(L) who does no wrong,
upright(M) and just is he.(N)
5 They are corrupt and not his children;
to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.(O)
6 Is this the way you repay(P) the Lord,
you foolish(Q) and unwise people?(R)
Is he not your Father,(S) your Creator,[a]
who made you and formed you?(T)
7 Remember the days of old;(U)
consider the generations long past.(V)
Ask your father and he will tell you,
your elders, and they will explain to you.(W)
8 When the Most High(X) gave the nations their inheritance,
when he divided all mankind,(Y)
he set up boundaries(Z) for the peoples
according to the number of the sons of Israel.[b](AA)
9 For the Lord’s portion(AB) is his people,
Jacob his allotted inheritance.(AC)
10 In a desert(AD) land he found him,
in a barren and howling waste.(AE)
He shielded(AF) him and cared for him;
he guarded him as the apple of his eye,(AG)
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,(AH)
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.(AI)
12 The Lord alone led(AJ) him;(AK)
no foreign god was with him.(AL)
13 He made him ride on the heights(AM) of the land
and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(AN)
and with oil(AO) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(AP)
and the finest kernels of wheat.(AQ)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(AR)
15 Jeshurun[c](AS) grew fat(AT) and kicked;
filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(AU) the God who made them
and rejected the Rock(AV) their Savior.
16 They made him jealous(AW) with their foreign gods
and angered(AX) him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed(AY) to false gods,(AZ) which are not God—
gods they had not known,(BA)
gods that recently appeared,(BB)
gods your ancestors did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
you forgot(BC) the God who gave you birth.
19 The Lord saw this and rejected them(BD)
because he was angered by his sons and daughters.(BE)
20 “I will hide my face(BF) from them,” he said,
“and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,(BG)
children who are unfaithful.(BH)
21 They made me jealous(BI) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(BJ)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(BK)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(BL)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(BM)
It will devour(BN) the earth and its harvests(BO)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(BP)
23 “I will heap calamities(BQ) on them
and spend my arrows(BR) against them.
24 I will send wasting famine(BS) against them,
consuming pestilence(BT) and deadly plague;(BU)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,(BV)
the venom of vipers(BW) that glide in the dust.(BX)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
in their homes terror(BY) will reign.(BZ)
The young men and young women will perish,
the infants and those with gray hair.(CA)
26 I said I would scatter(CB) them
and erase their name from human memory,(CC)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
lest the adversary misunderstand(CD)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
the Lord has not done all this.’”(CE)
28 They are a nation without sense,
there is no discernment(CF) in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this(CG)
and discern what their end will be!(CH)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,(CI)
unless their Rock had sold them,(CJ)
unless the Lord had given them up?(CK)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,(CL)
as even our enemies concede.(CM)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom(CN)
and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,(CO)
and their clusters with bitterness.(CP)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
the deadly poison of cobras.(CQ)
34 “Have I not kept this in reserve
and sealed it in my vaults?(CR)
35 It is mine to avenge;(CS) I will repay.(CT)
In due time their foot will slip;(CU)
their day of disaster is near
and their doom rushes upon them.(CV)”
36 The Lord will vindicate his people(CW)
and relent(CX) concerning his servants(CY)
when he sees their strength is gone
and no one is left, slave(CZ) or free.[d]
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
the rock they took refuge in,(DA)
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?(DB)
Let them rise up to help you!
Let them give you shelter!
39 “See now that I myself am he!(DC)
There is no god besides me.(DD)
I put to death(DE) and I bring to life,(DF)
I have wounded and I will heal,(DG)
and no one can deliver out of my hand.(DH)
40 I lift my hand(DI) to heaven and solemnly swear:
As surely as I live forever,(DJ)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(DK)
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(DL) on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.(DM)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(DN)
while my sword devours flesh:(DO)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Rejoice,(DP) you nations, with his people,[e][f]
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;(DQ)
he will take vengeance on his enemies(DR)
and make atonement for his land and people.(DS)
44 Moses came with Joshua[g](DT) son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. 45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day,(DU) so that you may command(DV) your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.(DW) By them you will live long(DX) in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Moses to Die on Mount Nebo
48 On that same day the Lord told Moses,(DY) 49 “Go up into the Abarim(DZ) Range to Mount Nebo(EA) in Moab, across from Jericho,(EB) and view Canaan,(EC) the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die(ED) and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died(EE) on Mount Hor(EF) and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh(EG) in the Desert of Zin(EH) and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.(EI) 52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance;(EJ) you will not enter(EK) the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”

Deuteronom 32
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Deuteronom 32
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
32 „Ascultaţi, ceruri, şi voi vorbi.
Ascultă, pământule, cuvintele gurii mele.
2 Ca ploaia să cadă învăţătura mea
şi ca roua să curgă cuvintele mele,
ca stropii de ploaie pe verdeaţă
şi ca aversele pe iarbă.
3 Căci voi proclama Numele Domnului.
Recunoaşte-ţi măreţia Dumnezeului nostru!
4 El este Stânca, lucrările Lui sunt desăvârşite,
căci toate căile Lui sunt drepte.
Dumnezeu este credincios şi în El nu este nedreptate,
El este drept şi cinstit.
5 Ei s-au stricat;
spre ruşinea lor ei nu mai sunt fiii Lui,[a]
ci o generaţie pervertită şi necinstită.
6 Astfel Îl răsplătiţi voi pe Domnul,
popor nechibzuit şi neînţelept?
Nu este El Tatăl vostru, Creatorul[b] vostru,
Cel Ce v-a întocmit şi v-a dat înfăţişare?
7 Aduceţi-vă aminte de zilele din trecut.
Socotiţi anii care au trecut din generaţie în generaţie.
Întrebaţi-i pe părinţii voştri şi vă vor învăţa,
pe bătrânii voştri şi vă vor spune.
8 Când Cel Preaînalt[c] le-a dat neamurilor moştenirea,
când i-a despărţit pe fiii oamenilor,
El a aşezat hotarele popoarelor
după numărul fiilor lui Israel[d].
9 Căci partea Domnului este poporul Lui,
Iacov este moştenirea Lui.
10 El l-a găsit într-un ţinut pustiu,
într-o singurătate plină de urlete deznădăjduite.
L-a înconjurat şi s-a îngrijit de el.
L-a apărat ca pe lumina ochilor Lui,
11 asemenea vulturului care îşi scutură cuibul
şi zboară deasupra puilor,
care îşi deschide aripile,
îi ia şi-i poartă pe penele lui.
12 Domnul a condus singur pe poporul Său
şi nu era nici un zeu străin alături de El.
13 El l-a urcat pe înălţimile ţării
şi l-a hrănit cu roadele câmpului.
L-a hrănit cu miere din stâncă
şi cu untdelemn din stânca cea mai tare,
14 cu iaurtul vitelor şi cu laptele oilor,
cu grăsimea mieilor,
a berbecilor din Başan şi a ţapilor,
cu grăsimea boabelor de grâu.
Şi ai băut vin, sângele strugurilor.
15 Ieşurun[e] s-a îngrăşat şi s-a împotrivit!
Te-ai îngrăşat, ai devenit greu şi mare!
El L-a părăsit pe Dumnezeul Care l-a creat
şi a respins Stânca mântuirii lui.
16 Ei L-au făcut gelos prin zeii străini
şi L-au mâniat prin urâciuni.
17 Ei au adus jertfe demonilor, nu lui Dumnezeu,
unor zei pe care nu-i cunoşteau,
zei noi, sosiţi de curând,
de care strămoşii voştri nu s-au temut.
18 Aţi părăsit Stânca care v-a creat,
aţi uitat pe Dumnezeul Care v-a născut.
19 Domnul a văzut şi i-a dispreţuit;
El s-a mâniat pe fiii şi pe fiicele Lui.
20 « Îmi voi ascunde faţa de ei, a zis El,
şi voi privi la sfârşitul lor,
căci sunt o generaţie pervertită,
sunt nişte copii necredincioşi.
21 M-au provocat la gelozie prin ceea ce nu este Dumnezeu
şi M-au mâniat prin idolii lor de nimic.
De aceea şi Eu îi voi provoca la gelozie prin ceea ce nu este un popor;
îi voi mânia printr-un neam fără pricepere.
22 Căci focul mâniei Mele s-a aprins
şi va arde până în adâncul Locuinţei Morţilor[f].
Va distruge pământul împreună cu recoltele lui
şi va arde temeliile munţilor.
23 Voi aduce nenorociri peste ei,
voi arunca toate săgeţile Mele împotriva lor;
24 vor fi vlăguiţi de foamete,
mâncaţi de molimă şi distruşi cu asprime.
Voi trimite împotriva lor colţii animalelor sălbatice
şi veninul şerpilor.
25 Pe drum vor pieri de sabie,
iar în odăi vor pieri de groază.
Vor pieri şi tânărul, şi fecioara,
şi copilaşul, şi bătrânul.
26 Am zis că îi voi zdrobi
şi le voi şterge amintirea printre neamuri,
27 dar mă tem de insultele duşmanilor,
ca nu cumva vrăjmaşii lor să se amăgească singuri
şi să zică: ‘Tăria mâinilor noastre,
şi nu Domnul a făcut toate aceste lucruri!’»
28 Ei sunt un neam lipsit de sfat
şi nu mai există discernământ în ei.
29 Dacă ar fi fost înţelepţi, ar fi înţeles aceasta
şi s-ar fi gândit la ceea ce li se va întâmpla.
30 Cum ar fi putut unul să urmărească o mie
sau doi să pună pe fugă zece mii,
dacă nu i-ar fi vândut Stânca lor
şi dacă Domnul nu i-ar fi întemniţat?
31 Căci stânca lor nu este ca Stânca noastră,
chiar şi duşmanii noştri înţeleg aceasta.
32 Viţa lor izvorăşte din via Sodomei
şi din câmpiile Gomorei.
Strugurii lor sunt plini de venin,
iar ciorchinii sunt amari.
33 Vinul lor este venin de şerpi,
veninul cobrelor nemiloase.
34 Oare nu este păstrat lucrul acesta la Mine
şi pecetluit printre comorile Mele?
35 A Mea este răzbunarea; Eu voi răsplăti!
Vine vremea când le vor aluneca picioarele,
întrucât zilele distrugerii sunt aproape
şi destinul lor se va grăbi.
36 Căci Domnul Îşi va judeca poporul,
dar va avea milă de robii Săi
când va vedea că li s-a dus puterea
şi că n-a mai rămas nimeni, nici întemniţat, nici liber.
37 «Unde le sunt zeii, va întreba El,
stânca ce le slujea drept adăpost,
38 zeii ce se hrăneau cu grăsimea jertfelor lor
şi care beau vinul jertfelor lor de băutură?
Să se ridice ca să vă ajute!
Să vă ofere un adăpost!
39 Vedeţi acum că Eu Însumi sunt El!
Nu mai există alt dumnezeu în afară de Mine.
Eu dau la moarte şi tot Eu aduc la viaţă,
Eu zdrobesc şi tot Eu vindec
şi nimeni nu poate izbăvi din mâna Mea.
40 Îmi ridic mâna spre cer şi declar:
Viu sunt Eu pe vecie,
41 că Îmi voi ascuţi fulgerul sabiei Mele
şi voi începe, cu mâna Mea, să fac judecată.
Mă voi răzbuna pe duşmanii Mei
şi voi pedepsi pe cei ce Mă urăsc.
42 Voi face ca săgeţile Mele să se îmbete de sânge,
iar sabia Mea se va hrăni cu carne,
cu sângele celor ucişi şi al captivilor,
şi cu capetele conducătorilor duşmanilor.»
43 Bucuraţi-vă[g], neamuri[h], împreună cu poporul Lui,
pentru că El va răzbuna sângele slujitorilor Lui,
se va răzbuna pe duşmanii Lui
şi va face ispăşire pentru ţara şi poporul Lui.“
44 Deci Moise a venit împreună cu Iosua[i], fiul lui Nun, şi a rostit toate cuvintele acestei cântări în auzul poporului. 45 Când Moise a terminat de rostit toate cuvintele acestea către întreg Israelul, 46 le-a zis: „Puneţi-vă la inimă toate cuvintele pe care eu vi le-am rostit astăzi, astfel încât să porunciţi copiilor voştri să păzească şi să împlinească toate cuvintele acestei Legi. 47 Căci nici un cuvânt nu este fără însemnătate, ele sunt viaţa voastră. Prin cuvintele acestea vă veţi lungi zilele în ţara voastră pe care o veţi stăpâni după ce veţi traversa Iordanul.“
Moise priveşte ţara de pe muntele Nebo
48 În aceeaşi zi Domnul i-a vorbit lui Moise: 49 „Urcă-te pe muntele Abarim, adică pe muntele Nebo[j], în ţara Moab, care este înaintea Ierihonului şi priveşte Canaanul pe care Eu îl dau lui Israel în stăpânire. 50 Tu vei muri pe muntele pe care te vei urca şi vei fi astfel adăugat la strămoşii tăi, după cum fratele tău Aaron a murit pe muntele Hor şi a fost adăugat la strămoşii lui, 51 din cauză că aţi fost necredincioşi faţă de Mine înaintea israeliţilor, la apele Meribei din Kadeş, în pustia Ţin, unde nu M-aţi sfinţit în mijlocul lui Israel. 52 Tu vei vedea pământul promisiunii de la distanţă, dar nu vei intra în ţara pe care o dau poporului Israel.“

King James Version
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.
