Deuteronomio 3
1 Entonces nos volvimos y subimos por el camino de Basán. Og, el rey de Basán, salió contra nosotros, él y todo su pueblo, para combatir en Edrei.
“Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].
2 El Señor me dijo: “No le temas, porque lo he entregado, con todo su pueblo y su tierra, en tu mano. Harás con él lo que hiciste con Sehón, rey de los amorreos, que vivía en Hesbón”.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’
3 También el Señor, nuestro Dios, entregó en nuestra mano a Og, rey de Basán, y a todo su pueblo. Los matamos hasta que no le quedó nadie.
“So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
4 En ese momento tomamos todas sus ciudades. No hubo ciudad que no les tomáramos: sesenta ciudades, toda la región de Argob, el reino de Og en Basán.
There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
5 Todas ellas eran ciudades fortificadas con altos muros, puertas y rejas, además de un gran número de aldeas sin muros.
All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].
6 Las destruimos por completo, como hicimos con Sehón, rey de Hesbón, destruyendo por completo toda ciudad habitada, con las mujeres y los niños.
We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.
7 Pero todo el ganado y el saqueo de las ciudades lo tomamos como botín para nosotros.
But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
8 En aquel tiempo tomamos la tierra de la mano de los dos reyes de los amorreos que estaban al otro lado del Jordán, desde el valle de Arnón hasta el monte Hermón.
“So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”
9 (Los sidonios llaman a Hermón Sirión, y los amorreos lo llaman Senir.)
(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
10 Tomamos todas las ciudades de la llanura, y todo Galaad, y todo Basán, hasta Salca y Edrei, ciudades del reino de Og en Basán.
“We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”
11 (Porque sólo Og, rey de Basán, quedó del resto de los refaítas. He aquí que su somier era un somier de hierro. ¿No está en Rabá de los hijos de Amón? Nueve codos era su longitud, y cuatro codos su anchura, según el codo de un hombre).
(Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)
12 Esta tierra la tomamos en posesión en aquel tiempo: desde Aroer, que está junto al valle de Arnón, y la mitad de la región montañosa de Galaad con sus ciudades, la di a los rubenitas y a los gaditas;
“From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.
13 y el resto de Galaad, y todo Basán, el reino de Og, lo di a la media tribu de Manasés: toda la región de Argob, todo Basán. (Lo mismo se llama la tierra de Refaim.
The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha giants.)
14 Jair, hijo de Manasés, tomó toda la región de Argob, hasta la frontera de los guesuritas y los maacateos, y la llamó, hasta Basán, con su propio nombre, Havot Jair, hasta el día de hoy).
“Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.
15 A Maquir le di Galaad.
The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
16 A los rubenitas y a los gaditas les di desde Galaad hasta el valle de Arnón, la mitad del valle, y su frontera, hasta el río Jaboc, que es la frontera de los hijos de Amón;
I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.
17 también el Arabá, y el Jordán y su frontera, desde Cineret hasta el mar del Arabá, el Mar Salado, bajo las laderas del Pisga hacia el este.
[To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to the east.
18 En aquel tiempo os mandé decir: “El Señor, vuestro Dios, os ha dado esta tierra para que la poseáis. Todos vosotros, hombres de valor, pasaréis armados delante de vuestros hermanos, los hijos de Israel.
At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].
19 Pero vuestras mujeres, vuestros pequeños y vuestros ganados (sé que tenéis mucho ganado) vivirán en vuestras ciudades que os he dado,
But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
20 hasta que el Señor dé descanso a vuestros hermanos, como a vosotros, y ellos también posean la tierra que el Señor vuestro Dios les da al otro lado del Jordán. Entonces volveréis cada uno a su posesión, que yo os he dado”.
[Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’
21 En ese momento le ordené a Josué que dijera: “Tus ojos han visto todo lo que el Señor, tu Dios, ha hecho con estos dos reyes. Así hará el Señor con todos los reinos a los que pases.
And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.
22 No los temerás, porque el mismo Yahvé, tu Dios, lucha por ti”.
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
23 En ese momento le rogué a Yahvé, diciendo:
“At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
24 “Señor Yahvé, has comenzado a mostrarle a tu siervo tu grandeza y tu mano fuerte. Porque ¿qué dios hay en el cielo o en la tierra que pueda hacer obras como las tuyas, y actos poderosos como los tuyos?
‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].
25 Por favor, déjame ir a ver la buena tierra que está al otro lado del Jordán, esa hermosa montaña y el Líbano”.
So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] Lebanon.’
26 Pero el Señor se enojó conmigo por causa de vosotros y no me escuchó. El Señor me dijo: “¡Ya basta! No me hables más de este asunto.
But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!
27 Sube a la cima del Pisga y levanta tus ojos hacia el oeste, el norte, el sur y el este, y mira con tus ojos, porque no pasarás este Jordán.
Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].
28 Pero comisiona a Josué, anímalo y fortalécelo, porque él pasará delante de este pueblo y lo hará heredar la tierra que tú verás.”
But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’
29 Así que nos quedamos en el valle cerca de Bet Peor.
So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
