Joshua 23
1 And it was from days many after that he had given rest Yahweh to Israel from all enemies their from round about and Joshua he was old he had come in days.
Mucho tiempo después, una vez que el Señor había dado la paz a los israelitas del conflicto con los enemigos que los rodeaban, Josué, ya siendo muy anciano,
2 And he summoned Joshua all Israel elders its and leaders its and judges its and officials its and he said to them I I am old I have come in days.
convocó a todos los israelitas – los ancianos, los líderes, los jueces y los funcionarios – y les dijo: “Yo estoy viejo, y me estoy envejeciendo aún más.
3 And you you have seen all that he has done Yahweh God your to all the nations these from before you for Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] has been fighting for you.
Ustedes han visto todo lo que el Señor, su Dios, ha hecho por ustedes ante todas las naciones. El Señor, su Dios, ha luchado por ustedes.
4 See I have made fall to you the nations which remain these an inheritance for tribes your from the Jordan and all the nations which I have cut off and the sea great [the] setting of the sun.
“Les he asignado la tierra de las naciones restantes para que la posean, así como las naciones ya conquistadas, desde el Jordán hasta el Mar Mediterráneo.
5 And Yahweh God your he he will drive out them from before you and he will dispossess them from to before you and you will take possession of land their just as he spoke Yahweh God your to you.
El Señor, tu Dios, las hará retroceder ante ti. Los expulsará ante ti y tomarás posesión de su tierra, como el Señor, tu Dios, te ha prometido.
6 And you will be strong very to take care and to do every [thing] written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses to not to turn aside from it right [hand] and left [hand].
“Asegúrate de observar todo lo que está escrito en el libro de la Ley de Moisés. No te desvíes de ella, ni a la izquierda ni a la derecha.
7 To not to go among the nations these which remain these with you and [the] name of gods their not you must bring to remembrance and not you must cause to swear and not you must serve them and not you must bow down to them.
No te asocies on las naciones que quedan. No menciones los nombres de sus dioses, ni jures por ellos, ni los adores, ni te inclines ante ellos.
8 That except to Yahweh God your you will cling just as you have done until the day this.
Mantente cerca del Señor, tu Dios, como has hecho hasta ahora.
9 And he has dispossessed Yahweh from before you nations great and mighty and you not he has stood anyone in faces your until the day this.
El Señor ha expulsado ante ti a naciones fuertes y poderosas. Nadie ha podido enfrentarse a ti hasta el día de hoy.
10 A man one of you he puts to flight a thousand for - Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] fights for you just as he spoke to you.
Uno solo de ustedes puede ahuyentar a mil enemigos, porque el Señor, su Dios, lucha por ustedes, como se los ha prometido.
11 And you will take heed exceedingly to selves your to love Yahweh God your.
Procurenamar al Señor, su Dios.
12 That - except ever you will turn back and you will cling to [the] remainder of the nations these which remain these with you and you will intermarry with them and you will go among them and they among you.
Porque si se apartan de él y siguen los caminos de las naciones que quedan, si se unen en matrimonio, mezclándose unos con otros,
13 Certainly you will know that not he will increase Yahweh God your to dispossess the nations these from to before you and they will become for you a trap and a snare and a scourge in sides your and thorns in view your until perish you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
pueden estar absolutamente seguros de que el Señor, su Dios, no expulsará definitivamente a estas naciones delante de ustedes. Por el contrario, serán una trampa y un lazo, un látigo en su espalda y como espinas en sus ojos hasta que desaparezcan completamente de esta buena tierra que el Señor su Dios les ha dado.
14 And here! I [am] about to go this day in [the] way of all the earth and you know with all heart your and with all being your that not it has fallen a word one of all - the words good which he spoke Yahweh God your on you everything they have come to you not it has fallen of it a word one.
“Ahora estoy a punto de morir, el destino de todo ser viviente en la tierra. En el fondo sabes que no ha fallado ni una sola de las buenas promesas del Señor. Todo se ha cumplido. Ni una sola ha fallado.
15 And it will be just as it has come on you every word good which he spoke Yahweh God your to you so he will bring Yahweh on you every word bad until has destroyed he you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
Pero de la misma manera que recibiste todas las cosas buenas que el Señor, tu Dios, te prometió, el Señor traerá sobre ti todas las cosas malas con las que te ha amenazado, hasta que seas completamente eliminado de esta buena tierra que el Señor, tu Dios, te ha dado.
16 When transgress you [the] covenant of Yahweh God your which he commanded you and you will go and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them and it will burn [the] anger of Yahweh on you and you will perish quickly from on the land good which he has given to you.
Si rompes el acuerdo que el Señor tu Dios hizo contigo y vas a adorar a otros dioses, inclinándote ante ellos, entonces el Señor se enojará contigo y serás rápidamente borrado de la buena tierra que te ha dado”.
