Deuteronomio 30

1 Un llamado a volver al Señor
»En el futuro, cuando experimentes todas las bendiciones y las maldiciones que te detallé y estés viviendo entre las naciones a las que el Señor
tu Dios te haya desterrado, toma muy en serio todas estas instrucciones.
2 Si en aquel tiempo, tú y tus hijos regresan al Señor
tu Dios, y si obedecen con todo el corazón y con toda el alma los mandatos que te entrego hoy,
3 entonces el Señor
tu Dios te devolverá tu bienestar. Tendrá misericordia de ti y te volverá a reunir de entre todas las naciones por donde te dispersó.
4 Aunque estés desterrado en los extremos de la tierra, el Señor
tu Dios te traerá de allí y te reunirá nuevamente.
5 El Señor
tu Dios te hará volver a la tierra que perteneció a tus antepasados, y será tuya de nuevo. ¡Entonces te hará aún más próspero y numeroso que tus antepasados!
6 »El Señor
tu Dios cambiará tu corazón
y el de tus descendientes, para que lo ames con todo el corazón y con toda el alma, y para que tengas vida.
7 El Señor
tu Dios impondrá todas esas maldiciones a tus enemigos y a los que te odian y te persiguen.
8 Así volverás a obedecer al Señor
y cumplirás todos sus mandatos, los que yo te entrego hoy.
9 »Entonces el Señor
tu Dios te prosperará en todo lo que hagas. Te dará muchos hijos, una gran cantidad de animales y hará que tus campos produzcan cosechas abundantes, porque el Señor
volverá a deleitarse en ser bondadoso contigo como lo fue con tus antepasados.
10 El Señor
tu Dios se deleitará en ti si obedeces su voz y cumples los mandatos y los decretos escritos en este libro de instrucción, y si te vuelves al Señor
tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma.
11 Elección de vida o muerte
»El mandato que te entrego hoy no es demasiado difícil de entender ni está fuera de tu alcance.
12 No está guardado en los cielos, tan distante para que tengas que preguntar: “¿Quién subirá al cielo y lo bajará para que podamos oírlo y obedecer?”.
13 Tampoco está guardado más allá del mar, tan lejos para que tengas que preguntar: “¿Quién cruzará el mar y lo traerá para que podamos oírlo y obedecer?”.
14 Por el contrario, el mensaje está muy al alcance de la mano; está en tus labios y en tu corazón para que puedas obedecerlo.
15 »¡Ahora escucha! En este día, te doy a elegir entre la vida y la muerte, entre la prosperidad y la calamidad.
16 Pues hoy te ordeno que ames al Señor
tu Dios y cumplas sus mandatos, decretos y ordenanzas andando en sus caminos. Si lo haces, vivirás y te multiplicarás, y el Señor
tu Dios te bendecirá a ti y también a la tierra donde estás a punto de entrar y que vas a poseer.
17 »Sin embargo, si tu corazón se aparta y te niegas a escuchar, y si te dejas llevar a servir y rendir culto a otros dioses,
18 entonces te advierto desde ya que sin duda serás destruido. No tendrás una buena y larga vida en la tierra que ocuparás al cruzar el Jordán.
19 »Hoy te he dado a elegir entre la vida y la muerte, entre bendiciones y maldiciones. Ahora pongo al cielo y a la tierra como testigos de la decisión que tomes. ¡Ay, si eligieras la vida, para que tú y tus descendientes puedan vivir!
20 Puedes elegir esa opción al amar, al obedecer y al comprometerte firmemente con el Señor
tu Dios. Esa
es la clave para tu vida. Y si amas y obedeces al Señor
, vivirás por muchos años en la tierra que el Señor
juró dar a tus antepasados Abraham, Isaac y Jacob».

Deuteronomio 30 Commentary

Chapter 30

Mercies promised to the repentant. (1-10) The commandment manifest. (11-14) Death and life set before them. (15-20)

Verses 1-10 In this chapter is a plain intimation of the mercy God has in store for Israel in the latter days. This passage refers to the prophetic warnings of the last two chapters, which have been mainly fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and in their dispersion to the present day; and there can be no doubt that the prophetic promise contained in these verses yet remain to come to pass. The Jewish nation shall in some future period, perhaps not very distant, be converted to the faith of Christ; and, many think, again settled in the land of Canaan. The language here used is in a great measure absolute promises; not merely a conditional engagement, but declaring an event assuredly to take place. For the Lord himself here engages to "circumcise their hearts;" and when regenerating grace has removed corrupt nature, and Divine love has supplanted the love of sin, they certainly will reflect, repent, return to God, and obey him; and he will rejoice in doing them good. The change that will be wrought upon them will not be only outward, or consisting in mere opinions; it will reach to their souls. It will produce in them an utter hatred of all sin, and a fervent love to God, as their reconciled God in Christ Jesus; they will love him with all their hearts, and with all their soul. They are very far from this state of mind at present, but so were the murderers of the Lord Jesus, on the day of Pentecost; who yet in one hour were converted unto God. So shall it be in the day of God's power; a nation shall be born in a day; the Lord will hasten it in his time. As a conditional promise this passage belongs to all persons and all people, not to Israel only; it assures us that the greatest sinners, if they repent and are converted, shall have their sins pardoned, and be restored to God's favour.

Verses 11-14 The law is not too high for thee. It is not only known afar off; it is not confined to men of learning. It is written in thy books, made plain, so that he who runs may read it. It is in thy mouth, in the tongue commonly used by thee, in which thou mayest hear it read, and talk of it among thy children. It is delivered so that it is level to the understanding of the meanest. This is especially true of the gospel of Christ, to which the apostle applies it. But the word is nigh us, and Christ in that word; so that if we believe with the heart, that the promises of the Messiah are fulfilled in our Lord Jesus, and confess them with our mouth, we then have Christ with us.

Verses 15-20 What could be said more moving, and more likely to make deep and lasting impressions? Every man wishes to obtain life and good, and to escape death and evil; he desires happiness, and dreads misery. So great is the compassion of the Lord, that he has favoured men, by his word, with such a knowledge of good and evil as will make them for ever happy, if it be not their own fault. Let us hear the sum of the whole matter. If they and theirs would love God, and serve him, they should live and be happy. If they or theirs should turn from God, desert his service, and worship other gods, that would certainly be their ruin. There never was, since the fall of man, more than one way to heaven; which is marked out in both Testaments, though not with equal clearness. Moses meant that same way of acceptance, which Paul more plainly described; and Paul's words mean the same obedience, on which Moses more fully treated. In both Testaments the good and right way is brought near, and plainly revealed to us.

Chapter Summary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 30

This chapter contains some gracious promises of the conversion of the Jews in the latter day, of their calling things to mind that have befallen them, of their repentance, and the circumcision of their hearts to love the Lord, of the return of them to their own land, and of the great increase of them, and of their enjoyment of plenty of good things, De 30:1-10; in it is an account of the Gospel, or word of faith, which at this time should be brought near to the Jews, and be received by them, De 30:11-14; and for the present Moses desires them to consider what he now set before them, and what would be the consequences of receiving or rejecting it, and so what it would be most proper for them to make choice of, De 30:15-20.
