¹ Y mandó Moisés, con los ancianos de Israel, al pueblo, diciendo: Guardaréis todos los mandamientos que yo os mando hoy.

² Y será que , el día que pasaréis el Jordán a la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, te has de levantar piedras grandes, las cuales revocarás con cal;

³ y escribirás en ellas todas las palabras de esta ley, cuando hubieres pasado para entrar en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, tierra que fluye leche y miel, como el SEÑOR el Dios de tus padres te ha dicho.

⁴ Será, pues , cuando hubieres pasado el Jordán, que levantaréis estas piedras que yo os mando hoy, en el monte de Ebal, y las revocarás con cal;

⁵ y edificarás allí altar al SEÑOR tu Dios, altar de piedras; no alzarás sobre ellas herramienta de hierro.

⁶ De piedras enteras edificarás el altar del SEÑOR tu Dios; y ofrecerás sobre él holocaustos al SEÑOR tu Dios;

⁷ y ofrecerás sacrificios de paz, y comerás allí; y te alegrarás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios.

⁸ Y escribirás en las piedras todas las palabras de esta ley muy claramente.

⁹ Y Moisés, con los sacerdotes levitas, habló a todo Israel, diciendo: Atiende y escucha, Israel: hoy eres hecho pueblo del SEÑOR tu Dios.

¹⁰ Oirás, pues, la voz del SEÑOR tu Dios, y cumplirás sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que yo te mando hoy.

¹¹ Y mandó Moisés al pueblo en aquel día, diciendo:

¹² Estos estarán sobre el monte de Gerizim para bendecir al pueblo, cuando hubiereis pasado el Jordán: Simeón, y Leví, y Judá, e Isacar, y José y Benjamín.

¹³ Y éstos estarán para pronunciar la maldición en el monte de Ebal: Rubén, Gad, y Aser, y Zabulón, Dan, y Neftalí.

¹⁴ Y hablarán los levitas, y dirán a todo varón de Israel en alta voz:

¹⁵ Maldito el varón que hiciere escultura o imagen de fundición, abominación al SEÑOR, obra de mano de artífice, y la pusiere en oculto. Y todo el pueblo responderá y dirá: Amén.

¹⁶ Maldito el que deshonrare a su padre o a su madre. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

¹⁷ Maldito el que redujere el término de su prójimo. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

¹⁸ Maldito el que hiciere errar al ciego en el camino. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

¹⁹ Maldito el que torciere el derecho del extranjero, del huérfano, y de la viuda. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

²⁰ Maldito el que se echare con la mujer de su padre; por cuanto descubrió el regazo de su padre. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

²¹ Maldito el que tuviere parte con cualquiera bestia. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

²² Maldito el que se echare con su hermana, hija de su padre, o hija de su madre. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

²³ Maldito el que se echare con su suegra. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

²⁴ Maldito el que hiriere a su prójimo ocultamente. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

²⁵ Maldito el que recibiere don para herir de muerte al inocente. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

²⁶ Maldito el que no confirmare las palabras de esta ley para cumplirlas. Y dirá todo el pueblo: Amén.

¹ In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

² He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

³ He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

⁴ However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁵ It happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father:

⁶ but the children of the murderers he didn't put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."

⁷ He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.

⁸ Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face."

⁹ Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son as wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.

¹⁰ You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'"

¹¹ But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

¹² Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

¹³ Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

¹⁴ He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

¹⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁶ Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.

¹⁷ Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

¹⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹ They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.

²⁰ They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

²¹ All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.

²² He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

²³ In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, [and reigned] forty-one years.

²⁴ He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn't depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

²⁵ He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher.

²⁶ For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

²⁷ Yahweh didn't say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

²⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, [which had belonged] to Judah, for Israel, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²⁹ Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
