Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses said to all Israel on the far side of Jordan, in the waste land in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran on the one side, and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab on the other.
Estas son las palabras que habló Moisés a todo Israel de esta parte del Jordán en el desierto, en el llano, delante del mar Bermejo, entre Farán, y Tofel, y Labán, y Jaserot, y Dizahab.
2 It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
Once jornadas hay desde Horeb camino del monte de Seir hasta Cádes-barne.
3 Now in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses gave to the children of Israel all the orders which the Lord had given him for them;
Y fue, que a los cuarenta años, en el mes undécimo, al primero del mes, Moisés habló a los hijos de Israel conforme a todas las cosas que Jehová le había mandado acerca de ellos:
4 After he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:
Después que hirió a Sejón rey de los Amorreos, que habitaba en Jesebón, y a Og rey de Basán, que habitaba en Astarot en Edrai,
5 On the far side of Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses gave the people this law, saying,
De esta parte del Jordán en tierra de Moab quiso Moisés declarar esta ley, diciendo:
6 The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have been long enough in this mountain:
Jehová nuestro Dios nos habló en Horeb, diciendo: Harto habéis estado en este monte;
7 Make a move now, and go on your way into the hill-country of the Amorites and the places near it, in the Arabah and the hill-country and in the lowlands and in the South and by the seaside, all the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Volvéos, partíos, e id al monte del Amorreo, y a todas sus comarcas en el llano, en el monte, y en los valles, y al mediodía, y a la costa de la mar: a la tierra del Cananeo, y el Líbano hasta el gran río, el río de Éufrates.
8 See, all the land is before you: go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their seed after them.
Mirád, yo he dado la tierra en vuestra presencia, entrád y poseéd la tierra, que Jehová juró a vuestros padres Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, que les daría a ellos y a su simiente después de ellos.
9 At that time I said to you, I am not able to undertake the care of you by myself;
Y yo os hablé entonces, diciendo: Yo no puedo llevaros solo;
10 The Lord your God has given you increase, and now you are like the stars of heaven in number.
Jehová vuestro Dios os ha multiplicado, que, he aquí, sois hoy vosotros como las estrellas del cielo en multitud.
11 May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!
Jehová Dios de vuestros padres añada sobre vosotros como sois mil veces, y os bendiga, como os ha prometido.
12 How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?
¿Cómo llevaré yo solo vuestras molestias, vuestras cargas, y vuestros pleitos?
13 Take for yourselves men who are wise, far-seeing, and respected among you, from your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
Dad de vosotros varones sabios y entendidos, y expertos, de vuestras tribus, para que yo los ponga por vuestras cabezas.
14 And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.
Y me respondisteis y dijisteis: Bueno es lo que has dicho para que se haga.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and respected, and made them rulers over you, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers of your tribes.
Y tomé los principales de vuestras tribus, varones sabios y expertos, y púselos por príncipes sobre vosotros, príncipes de millares, y príncipes de cientos, y príncipes de cincuenta, y príncipes de diez, y gobernadores a vuestras tribus.
16 And at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.
Y entonces mandé a vuestros jueces, diciendo: Oíd entre vuestros hermanos: juzgád justamente entre el hombre y su hermano, y entre su extranjero.
17 In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.
No tengáis respeto de personas en el juicio: así al pequeño como al grande oiréis: no habréis temor de ninguno, porque el juicio es de Dios: y la causa que os fuere difícil, llegaréis a mí, y yo la oiré.
18 And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.
Y entonces os mandé todo lo que hubieseis de hacer.
19 Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Y partidos de Horeb, anduvimos todo este desierto grande y temeroso, que habéis visto, por el camino del monte del Amorreo, como Jehová nuestro Dios nos lo mandó: y llegamos hasta Cádes-barne.
20 And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.
Y os dije: Llegado habéis al monte del Amorreo, el cual Jehová nuestro Dios nos da.
21 See now, the Lord your God has put the land into your hands: go up and take it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you; have no fear and do not be troubled.
Mira, Jehová tu Dios ha dado delante de ti la tierra: sube y poséela, como Jehová el Dios de tus padres te ha dicho, no temas, ni desmayes.
22 And you came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.
Y llegasteis a mí todos vosotros, y dijisteis: Enviemos varones delante de nosotros, que nos reconozcan la tierra, y nos tornen la respuesta; el camino por donde hemos de subir, y las ciudades a donde hemos de venir.
23 And what you said seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from among you, one from every tribe;
Y el dicho me pareció bien, y tomé doce varones de vosotros un varón por tribu;
24 And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.
Y volvieron, y subieron al monte, y vinieron hasta el arroyo de Escol, y reconocieron la tierra.
25 And taking in their hands some of the fruit of the land, they came down again to us, and gave us their account, saying, It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.
Y tomaron en sus manos del fruto de la tierra, y trajéronnoslo, y diéronnos la respuesta, y dijeron: Buena es la tierra que Jehová nuestro Dios nos da.
26 But going against the order of the Lord your God, you would not go up:
Y no quisisteis subir, mas os rebelasteis al dicho de Jehová vuestro Dios:
27 And you made an angry outcry in your tents, and said, In his hate for us the Lord has taken us out of the land of Egypt, to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction.
Y murmurasteis en vuestras tiendas, diciendo: Porque Jehová nos aborrecía, nos sacó de tierra de Egipto, para entregarnos en mano del Amorreo para destruirnos.
28 Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
¿Dónde subimos? Nuestros hermanos han hecho desleir nuestro corazón, diciendo: Este pueblo es mayor y más alto que nosotros; las ciudades grandes y encastilladas hasta el cielo, y también vimos allí hijos de gigantes.
29 Then I said to you, Have no fear of them.
Entonces yo os dije: No temáis, ni hayáis miedo de ellos:
30 The Lord your God who goes before you will be fighting for you, and will do such wonders as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Jehová vuestro Dios, el que va delante de vosotros, él peleará por vosotros, conforme a todas las cosas que hizo con vosotros en Egipto delante de vuestros ojos;
31 And in the waste land, where you have seen how the Lord was supporting you, as a man does his son, in all your journeying till you came to this place.
Y en el desierto, has visto que Jehová tu Dios te ha traído, como trae el hombre a su hijo, por todo el camino que habéis andado, hasta que habéis venido a este lugar.
32 But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,
Y aun con esto no habéis creído en Jehová vuestro Dios.
33 Who goes before you on your way, looking for a place where you may put up your tents, in fire by night, lighting up the way you are to go, and in a cloud by day.
El cual iba delante de vosotros por el camino, para reconoceros el lugar donde habíais de asentar el campo, con fuego de noche, para mostraros el camino por donde anduvieseis: y con nube de día.
34 And the Lord, hearing your words, was angry, and said with an oath,
Y oyó Jehová la voz de vuestras palabras, y enojóse, y juró, diciendo:
35 Truly, not one of this evil generation will see that good land which I said I would give to your fathers,
No verá hombre de estos, esta mala generación, la buena tierra, que juré que había de dar a vuestros padres:
36 But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.
Sino fuere Caleb hijo de Jefone, él la verá, y yo le daré la tierra que holló, a él y a sus hijos, porque cumplió en pos de Jehová.
37 And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:
Y también contra mí se airó Jehová por vosotros, diciendo: Tampoco tú entrarás allá.
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, your servant, he will go into the land: say to him that he is to be strong, for he will be Israel's guide into their heritage.
Josué hijo de Nun, que está delante de ti, él entrará allá; esfuérzale, porque él la hará heredar a Israel.
39 And your little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs.
Y vuestros chiquitos, de los cuales dijisteis, serán por presa; y vuestros hijos, que no saben hoy bueno ni malo, ellos entrarán allá, y a ellos la daré, y ellos la heredarán.
40 But as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.
Y vosotros volvéos, y partíos al desierto camino del mar Bermejo.
41 Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care into the hill-country.
Y respondisteis y me dijisteis: Pecamos a Jehová, nosotros subiremos, y pelearemos, conforme a todo lo que Jehová nuestro Dios nos ha mandado. Y os armasteis cada uno de sus armas de guerra, y os apercebisteis para subir al monte,
42 And the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up to the attack; for I am not among you, and you will be overcome by those who are against you.
Y Jehová me dijo: Díles: No subáis, ni peleéis, porque yo no estoy entre vosotros, y no seáis heridos delante de vuestros enemigos.
43 This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went up into the hill-country.
Y os hablé y no oísteis; antes os rebelasteis al dicho de Jehová, y porfiasteis con soberbia, y subisteis al monte.
44 And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.
Y salió el Amorreo, que habitaba en aquel monte, a vuestro encuentro, y os persiguieron, como hacen las avispas, y os quebrantaron en Seir hasta Jorma.
45 And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.
Y volvisteis, y llorasteis delante de Jehová, y Jehová no oyó vuestra voz, ni os escuchó.
46 So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.
Y estuvisteis en Cádes por muchos días, como parece en los días que habéis estado.
