Deuteronomio 32
Douay-Rheims Challoner (1752)
1Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, let the earth give ear to the words of my mouth.
2Let my doctrine gather as the rain, let my speech distil as the dew, as a shower upon the herb, and as drops upon the grass.
3Because I will invoke the name of the Lord: give ye magnificence to our God.
4The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right.
5They have sinned against him, and are none of his children in their filth: they are a wicked and perverse generation.
6Is this the return thou makest to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is not he thy father, that hath possessed thee, and made thee, and created thee?
7Remember the days of old, think upon every generation: ask thy father, and he will declare to thee: thy elders and they will tell thee.
8When the Most High divided the nations: when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the bounds of people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9But the Lord's portion is his people: Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
10He found him in a desert land, in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: he led him about, and taught him: and he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11As the eagle enticing her young to fly, and hovering over them, he spread his wings, and hath taken him and carried him on his shoulders.
12The Lord alone was his leader: and there was no strange god with him.
13He set him upon high land: that he might eat the fruits of the fields, that he might suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the hardest stone,
14Butter of the herd, and milk of the sheep with the fat of lambs, and of the rams of the breed of Basan: and goats with the marrow of wheat, and might drink the purest blood of the grape.
15The beloved grew fat, and kicked: he grew fat, and thick and gross, he forsook God who made him, and departed from God his saviour.
16They provoked him by strange gods, and stirred him up to anger, with their abominations.
17They sacrificed to devils and not to God: to gods whom they knew not: that were newly come up, whom their fathers worshipped not.
18Thou hast forsaken the God that begot thee, and hast forgotten the Lord that created thee.
19The Lord saw, and was moved to wrath: because his own sons and daughters provoked him.
20And he said: I will hide my face from them, and will consider what their last end shall be: for it is a perverse generation, and unfaithful children.
21They have provoked me with that which was no god, and have angered me with their vanities: and I will provoke them with that which is no people, and will vex them with a foolish nation.
22A fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burn even to the lowest hell: and shall devour the earth with her increase, and shall burn the foundations of the mountains.
23I will heap evils upon them, and will spend my arrows among them.
24They shall be consumed with famine, and birds shall devour them with a most bitter bite: I will send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the fury of creatures that trail upon the ground, and of serpents.
25Without, the sword shall lay them waste, and terror within, both the young man and the virgin, the sucking child with the man in years.
26I said: Where are they? I will make the memory of them to cease from among men.
27But for the wrath of the enemies I have deferred it: lest perhaps their enemies might be proud, and should say: Our mighty hand, and not the Lord, hath done all these things.
28They are a nation without counsel, and without wisdom.
29O that they would be wise and would understand, and would provide for their last end.
30How should one pursue after a thousand, and two chase ten thousand? Was it not, because their God had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31For our God is not as their gods: our enemies themselves are judges.
32Their vines are of the vineyard of Sodom, and of the suburbs of Gomorrha: their grapes are grapes of gall, and their clusters most bitter.
33Their wine is the gall of dragons, and the venom of asps, which is incurable.
34Are not these things stored up with me, and sealed up in my treasures?
35Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time, that their foot may slide: the day of destruction is at hand, and the time makes haste to come.
36The Lord will judge his people, and will have mercy on his servants: he shall see that their hand is weakened, and that they who were shut up have also failed, and they that remained are consumed.
37And he shall say: Where are their gods, in whom they trusted?
38Of whose victims they ate the fat, and drank the wine of their drink offerings: let them arise and help you, and protect you in your distress.
39See ye that I alone am, and there is no other God besides me: I will kill and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40I will lift up my hand to heaven, and I will say: I live for ever.
41If I shall whet my sword as the lightning, and my hand take hold on judgment: I will render vengeance to my enemies, and repay them that hate me.
42I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, of the blood of the slain and of the captivity, of the bare head of the enemies.
43Praise his people, ye nations, for he will revenge the blood of his servants: and will render vengeance to their enemies, and he will be merciful to the land of his people.
44So Moses came and spoke all the words of this canticle in the ears of the people, and Josue the son of Nun.
45And he ended all these words, speaking to all Israel.
46And he said to them: Set your hearts on all the words, which I testify to you this day: which you shall command your children to observe and to do, and to fulfil all that is written in this law:
47For they are not commanded you in vain, but that every one should live in them, and that doing them you may continue a long time in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it.
48And the Lord spoke to Moses the same day, saying:
49Go up into this mountain Abarim, (that is to say, of passages,) unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho: and see the land of Chanaan, which I will deliver to the children of Israel to possess, and die thou in the mountain.
50When thou art gone up into it thou shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
51Because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel, at the waters of contradiction, in Cades of the desert of Sin: and you did not sanctify me among the children of Israel.
52Thou shalt see the land before thee, which I will give to the children of Israel, but thou shalt not enter into it.
Reina-Valera 1909
1ESCUCHAD, cielos, y hablaré; y oiga la tierra los dichos de mi boca.
2Goteará como la lluvia mi doctrina; destilará como el rocío mi razonamiento; como la llovizna sobre la grama, y como las gotas sobre la hierba:
3Porque el nombre de Jehová invocaré: engrandeced á nuestro Dios.
4El es la Roca, cuya obra es perfecta, porque todos sus caminos son rectitud: Dios de verdad, y ninguna iniquidad en él: es justo y recto.
5La corrupción no es suya: á sus hijos la mancha de ellos, generación torcida y perversa.
6¿Así pagáis á Jehová, pueblo loco é ignorante? ¿no es él tu padre que te poseyó? él te hizo y te ha organizado.
7Acuérdate de los tiempos antiguos; considerad los años de generación y generación: pregunta á tu padre, que él te declarará; á tus viejos, y ellos te dirán.
8Cuando el Altísimo hizo heredar á las gentes, cuando hizo dividir los hijos de los hombres, estableció los términos de los pueblos según el número de los hijos de Israel.
9Porque la parte de Jehová es su pueblo; Jacob la cuerda de su heredad.
10Hallólo en tierra de desierto, y en desierto horrible y yermo; trájolo alrededor, instruyólo, guardólo como la niña de su ojo.
11Como el águila despierta su nidada, revolotea sobre sus pollos, extiende sus alas, los toma, los lleva sobre sus plumas:
12Jehová solo le guió, que no hubo con él dios ajeno.
13Hízolo subir sobre las alturas de la tierra, y comió los frutos del campo, é hizo que chupase miel de la peña, y aceite del duro pedernal;
14Manteca de vacas y leche de ovejas, con grosura de corderos, y carneros de Basán; también machos de cabrío, con grosura de riñones de trigo: y sangre de uva bebiste, vino puro.
15Y engrosó Jeshurun, y tiró coces: engordástete, engrosástete, cubrístete: y dejó al Dios que le hizo, y menospreció la Roca de su salud.
16Despertáronle á celos con los dioses ajenos; ensañáronle con abominaciones.
17Sacrificaron á los diablos, no á Dios; á dioses que no habían conocido, á nuevos dioses venidos de cerca, que no habían temido vuestros padres.
18De la Roca que te crió te olvidaste: te has olvidado del Dios tu criador.
19Y viólo Jehová, y encendióse en ira, por el menosprecio de sus hijos y de sus hijas.
20Y dijo: Esconderé de ellos mi rostro, veré cuál será su postrimería: que son generación de perversidades, hijos sin fe.
21Ellos me movieron á celos con lo que no es Dios; hiciéronme ensañar con sus vanidades: yo también los moveré á celos con un pueblo que no es pueblo, con gente insensata los haré ensañar.
22Porque fuego se encenderá en mi furor, y arderá hasta el profundo; y devorará la tierra y sus frutos, y abrasará los fundamentos de los montes.
23Yo allegaré males sobre ellos; emplearé en ellos mis saetas.
24Consumidos serán de hambre, y comidos de fiebre ardiente y de amarga pestilencia; diente de bestias enviaré también sobre ellos, con veneno de serpiente de la tierra.
25De fuera desolará la espada, y dentro de las cámaras el espanto; así al mancebo como á la doncella, al que mama como el hombre cano.
26Dije: Echaríalos yo del mundo, haría cesar de entre los hombres la memoria de ellos,
27Si no temiese la ira del enemigo, no sea que se envanezcan sus adversarios, no sea que digan: Nuestra mano alta ha hecho todo esto, no Jehová.
28Porque son gente de perdidos consejos, y no hay en ellos entendimiento.
29¡Ojalá fueran sabios, que comprendieran esto, y entendieran su postrimería!
30¿Cómo podría perseguir uno á mil, y dos harían huir á diez mil, si su Roca no los hubiese vendido, y Jehová no los hubiera entregado?
31Que la roca de ellos no es como nuestra Roca: y nuestros enemigos sean de ello jueces.
32Porque de la vid de Sodoma es la vid de ellos, y de los sarmientos de Gomorra: las uvas de ellos son uvas ponzoñosas, racimos muy amargos tienen.
33Veneno de dragones es su vino, y ponzoña cruel de áspides.
34¿No tengo yo esto guardado, sellado en mis tesoros?
35Mía es la venganza y el pago, al tiempo que su pie vacilará; porque el día de su aflicción está cercano, y lo que les está preparado se apresura.
36Porque Jehová juzgará á su pueblo, y por amor de sus siervos se arrepentirá, cuando viere que la fuerza pereció, y que no hay guardado, mas desamparado.
37Y dirá: ¿Dónde están sus dioses, la roca en que se guarecían;
38Que comían el sebo de sus sacrificios, bebían el vino de sus libaciones? Levántense, que os ayuden y os defiendan.
39Ved ahora que yo, yo soy, y no hay dioses conmigo: yo hago morir, y yo hago vivir: yo hiero, y yo curo: y no hay quien pueda librar de mi mano.
40Cuando yo alzaré á los cielos mi mano, y diré: Vivo yo para siempre,
41Si afilare mi reluciente espada, y mi mano arrebatare el juicio, yo volveré la venganza á mis enemigos, y daré el pago á los que me aborrecen.
42Embriagaré de sangre mis saetas, y mi espada devorará carne: en la sangre de los muertos y de los cautivos de las cabezas, con venganzas de enemigo.
43Alabad, gentes, á su pueblo, porque él vengará la sangre de sus siervos, y volverá la venganza á sus enemigos, y expiará su tierra, á su pueblo.
44Y vino Moisés, y recitó todas las palabras de este cántico á oídos del pueblo, él, y Josué hijo de Nun.
45Y acabó Moisés de recitar todas estas palabras á todo Israel;
46Y díjoles: Poned vuestro corazón á todas las palabras que yo os protesto hoy, para que las mandéis á vuestros hijos, y cuiden de poner por obra todas las palabras de esta ley.
47Porque no os es cosa vana, mas es vuestra vida: y por ellas haréis prolongar los días sobre la tierra, para poseer la cual pasáis el Jordán.
48Y habló Jehová á Moisés aquel mismo día, diciendo:
49Sube á este monte de Abarim, al monte Nebo, que está en la tierra de Moab, que está en derecho de Jericó, y mira la tierra de Canaán, que yo doy por heredad á los hijos de Israel;
50Y muere en el monte al cual subes, y sé reunido á tus pueblos; al modo que murió Aarón tu hermano en el monte de Hor, y fué reunido á sus pueblos:
51Por cuanto prevaricasteis contra mí en medio de los hijos de Israel en las aguas de la rencilla de Cades, en el desierto de Zin; porque no me santificasteis en medio de los hijos de Israel.
52Verás por tanto delante de ti la tierra; mas no entrarás allá, á la tierra que doy á los hijos de Israel.
King James Version
1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2My 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:
3Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4He 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.
5They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6Do 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?
7Remember 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.
8When 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.
9For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10He 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.
11As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13He 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;
14Butter 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.
15But 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.
16They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20And 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.
21They 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.
22For 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.
23I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24They 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.
25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27Were 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.
28For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30How 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?
31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35To 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.
36For 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.
37And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38Which 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.
39See 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.
40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41If 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.
42I 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.
43Rejoice, 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.
44And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46And 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.
47For 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.
48And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49Get 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:
50And 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:
51Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
World English Bible
1Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2My doctrine will drop as the rain. My speech will condense as the dew, as the misty rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.
3For I will proclaim the LORD’s name. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.
5They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.
6Is this the way you repay the LORD, foolish and unwise people? Isn’t he your father who has bought you? He has made you and established you.
7Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the children of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
9For the LORD’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.
11As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
12The LORD alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.
13He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;
14butter from the herd, and milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. From the blood of the grape, you drank wine.
15But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected the Rock of his salvation.
16They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.
17They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they didn’t know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers didn’t dread.
18Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
19The LORD saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
20He said, “I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end will be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22For a fire is kindled in my anger, that burns to the lowest Sheol, devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire.
23“I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.
24They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, with the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.
25Outside the sword will bereave, and in the rooms, terror on both young man and virgin, the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
26I said that I would scatter them afar. I would make their memory to cease from among men;
27were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted; the LORD has not done all this.’”
28For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
29Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had delivered them up?
31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves concede.
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poison grapes. Their clusters are bitter.
33Their wine is the poison of serpents, the cruel venom of asps.
34“Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
35Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides, for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”
36For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.
37He will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you! Let them be your protection.
39“See now that I myself am he. There is no god with me. I kill and I make alive. I wound and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
40For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare, as I live forever,
41if I sharpen my glittering sword, my hand grasps it in judgment; I will take vengeance on my adversaries, and will repay those who hate me.
42I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.”
43Rejoice, you nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will take vengeance on his adversaries, and will make atonement for his land and for his people.
44Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
45Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
46He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
48The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
49“Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.
50Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;
51because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.
52For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”
