1 E stos, pues, son los mandamientos, estatutos y decretos que Jehová vuestro Dios mandó que os enseñase, para que los pongáis por obra en la tierra a la cual pasáis vosotros para tomarla;

Now this is the instruction, the laws, and the precepts which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you might do them in the land to which you go to possess it,

2 p ara que temas a Jehová tu Dios, guardando todos sus estatutos y sus mandamientos que yo te mando, tú, tu hijo, y el hijo de tu hijo, todos los días de tu vida, para que tus días sean prolongados.

That you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son’s son, and keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged.

3 O ye, pues, oh Israel, y cuida de ponerlos por obra, para que te vaya bien en la tierra que fluye leche y miel, y os multipliquéis, como te ha dicho Jehová el Dios de tus padres.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and be watchful to do them, that it may be well with you and that you may increase exceedingly, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 O ye, Israel: Jehová nuestro Dios, Jehová uno es.

Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.

5 Y amarás a Jehová tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y con todas tus fuerzas.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with your entire being and with all your might.

6 Y estas palabras que yo te mando hoy, estarán sobre tu corazón;

And these words which I am commanding you this day shall be in your minds and hearts;

7 y las repetirás a tus hijos, y hablarás de ellas estando en tu casa, y andando por el camino, y al acostarte, y cuando te levantes.

You shall whet and sharpen them so as to make them penetrate, and teach and impress them diligently upon the hearts of your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.

8 Y las atarás como una señal en tu mano, y estarán como frontales entre tus ojos;

And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets (forehead bands) between your eyes.

9 y las escribirás en los postes de tu casa, y en tus puertas. Exhortaciones a la obediencia

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

10 C uando Jehová tu Dios te haya introducido en la tierra que juró a tus padres Abraham, Isaac y Jacob que te daría, en ciudades grandes y buenas que tú no edificaste,

And when the Lord your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you, with great and goodly cities which you did not build,

11 y casas llenas de todo bien, que tú no llenaste, y cisternas cavadas que tú no cavaste, viñas y olivares que no plantaste, y luego que comas y te sacies,

And houses full of all good things which you did not fill, and cisterns hewn out which you did not hew, and vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant, and when you eat and are full,

12 c uídate de no olvidarte de Jehová, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de casa de servidumbre.

Then beware lest you forget the Lord, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 A Jehová tu Dios temerás, y a él solo servirás, y por su nombre jurarás.

You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him and swear by His name.

14 N o andaréis en pos de dioses ajenos, de los dioses de los pueblos que están en vuestros contornos;

You shall not go after other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who are round about you;

15 p orque el Dios celoso, Jehová tu Dios, en medio de ti está; para que no se inflame el furor de Jehová tu Dios contra ti, y te destruya de sobre la tierra.

For the Lord your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and He destroy you from the face of the earth.

16 N o tentaréis a Jehová vuestro Dios, como lo tentasteis en Masah.

You shall not tempt and try the Lord your God as you tempted and tried Him in Massah.

17 G uardad cuidadosamente los mandamientos de Jehová vuestro Dios, y sus testimonios y sus estatutos que te ha mandado.

You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God and His exhortations and His statutes which He commanded you.

18 Y haz lo recto y bueno ante los ojos de Jehová, para que te vaya bien, y entres y poseas la buena tierra que Jehová juró a tus padres;

And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may go well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers,

19 p ara que él arroje a tus enemigos de delante de ti, como Jehová ha dicho.

To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has promised.

20 M añana cuando te preguntare tu hijo, diciendo: ¿Qué significan los testimonios y estatutos y decretos que Jehová nuestro Dios os mandó?

When your son asks you in time to come, What is the meaning of the testimonies and statutes and precepts which the Lord our God has commanded you?

21 e ntonces dirás a tu hijo: Nosotros éramos siervos de Faraón en Egipto, y Jehová nos sacó de Egipto con mano poderosa.

Then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22 J ehová hizo señales y milagros grandes y terribles en Egipto, sobre Faraón y sobre toda su casa, delante de nuestros ojos;

And the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and evil, against Egypt, against Pharaoh, and all his household, before our eyes;

23 y nos sacó de allá, para traernos y darnos la tierra que juró a nuestros padres.

And He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in to give us the land which He swore to give our fathers.

24 Y nos mandó Jehová que cumplamos todos estos estatutos, y que temamos a Jehová nuestro Dios, para que nos vaya bien todos los días, y para que nos conserve la vida, como hasta hoy.

And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day.

25 Y tendremos justicia cuando cuidemos de poner por obra todos estos mandamientos delante de Jehová nuestro Dios, como él nos ha mandado.

And it will be accounted as righteousness (conformity to God’s will in word, thought, and action) for us if we are watchful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.
