Josué 10
1 Sucedió que cuando Adonisedec, rey de Jerusalén, oyó que Josué capturó a Hai y la destruyó completamente como hizo con Jericó y su rey, así hizo con Hai y su rey, y que los habitantes de Gabaón hicieron la paz con Israel y estaban ya en medio de ellos,
Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;
2 tuvo gran temor, porque Gabaón era una gran ciudad, como una de las ciudades reales, mayor que Hai, y todos sus hombres eran fuertes.
He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.
3 Entonces Adonisedec, rey de Jerusalén, envió a decir a Oham, rey de Hebrón, a Piream, rey de Jerimot, a Jafía, rey de Laquis y a Debir, rey de Eglón:
So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
4 Suban a mí y ayúdenme. Ataquemos a Gabaón porque hicieron paz con Josué y con los hijos de Israel.
Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.
5 Así pues, los cinco reyes del amorreo, es decir, el rey de Jerusalén, el de Hebrón, el de Jerimot, el de Laquis y el de Eglón, se reunieron y subieron con todos sus ejércitos. Acamparon frente a Gabaón e hicieron guerra contra ella.
So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.
6 Entonces los habitantes de Gabaón enviaron a decir a Josué, a su campamento en Gilgal: No retires tu mano de tus esclavos. Sube pronto a nosotros y danos socorro. Ayúdanos, porque todos los reyes de los amorreos que habitan en la región montañosa se juntaron contra nosotros.
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.
7 Josué subió de Gilgal con todo el pueblo de guerra y todos los guerreros valientes.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.
8 Yavé dijo a Josué: No temas a ellos porque los entregué en tu mano, y ninguno de ellos resistirá delante de ti.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.
9 Josué, al subir desde Gilgal durante toda la noche, cayó sobre ellos súbitamente.
So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.
10 Yavé los derrotó ante Israel. Los hirió con gran matanza en Gabaón, los persiguió por el camino que sube a Bet-horón, y los mató hasta Azeca y Maceda.
And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to Azekah and Makkedah
11 Sucedió que cuando ellos huían de los israelitas por la bajada de Bethorón, Yavé lanzó desde el cielo grandes piedras sobre ellos, hasta Azeca, y murieron. Fueron más los muertos por las piedras de granizo, que los que los hijos de Israel mataron a espada.
And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.
12 El día cuando Yavé entregó a los amorreos en manos de los hijos de Israel, Josué habló a Yavé y dijo a la vista de todo Israel: ¡Sol, detente en Gabaón, Y tú, oh luna, en el valle de Ajalón!
It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
13 El sol se detuvo y la luna se paró hasta que el pueblo se vengó de sus enemigos. ¿No está esto escrito en el rollo del Justo? El sol se paró en medio del cielo y no se apresuró a ocultarse casi un día entero.
And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.
14 Nunca hubo un día semejante, ni antes ni después de ése, cuando Yavé atendió la voz de un hombre, porque Yavé guerreaba por Israel.
And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.
15 Josué y todo Israel regresaron a su campamento en Gilgal.
And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
16 Pero aquellos cinco reyes huyeron y se escondieron en una cueva en Maceda.
But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
17 Le fue dado aviso a Josué: Los cinco reyes fueron hallados escondidos en una cueva en Maceda.
And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
18 Josué dijo: Hagan rodar grandes piedras a la entrada de la cueva y coloquen hombres junto a ella, que los vigilen.
And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
19 Pero ustedes no se detengan, persigan a sus enemigos y maten su retaguardia. No los dejen entrar en sus ciudades, porque Yavé su ʼElohim los entregó en su mano.
But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.
20 Sucedió que cuando Josué y los hijos de Israel acabaron de atacarlos con gran mortandad hasta derrotarlos, los que quedaron de ellos se metieron en las ciudades fortificadas.
Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,
21 Todo el pueblo regresó a salvo a Josué en el campamento en Maceda. Nadie movió su lengua contra alguno de los hijos de Israel.
All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.
22 Entonces Josué dijo: Abran la boca de la cueva, y sáquenme a esos cinco reyes de allí.
Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.
23 Lo hicieron así, y le sacaron de la cueva a los cinco reyes: al rey de Jerusalén, al de Hebrón, al de Jerimot, al de Laquis, y al de Eglón.
And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 Cuando sacaron a aquellos reyes ante Josué, él convocó a todos los varones de Israel. Dijo a los oficiales de los guerreros que fueron con él: Acérquense, pongan sus pies sobre los cuellos de estos reyes. Entonces ellos se acercaron y pusieron sus pies sobre los cuellos de ellos.
And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
25 Josué les dijo: No teman ni se aterroricen. Esfuércense y sean valientes, porque así Yavé hará a todos los enemigos contra los cuales guerrean.
And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.
26 Después de esto, Josué los atacó y los mató. Los colgó en cinco árboles, y quedaron colgados en los árboles hasta la llegada de la noche.
Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.
27 Aconteció que cuando el sol se iba a ocultar, Josué mandó que los descolgaran de los árboles. Los echó en la cueva donde se habían escondido y pusieron grandes piedras en la boca de la cueva, donde están hasta hoy.
And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are to this day.
28 Aquel día Josué también capturó Maceda y la hirió a filo de espada. Mató a su rey y a toda persona que estaba en ella, sin dejar sobreviviente. E hizo al rey de Maceda como hizo al rey de Jericó.
That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Josué y todo Israel pasaron de Maceda a Libna, y guerrearon contra ella.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;
30 Yavé también la entregó con su rey en las manos de Israel, e hirió a filo de espada a toda persona que estaba en ella. No dejó sobreviviente, e hizo con su rey como hizo con el rey de Jericó.
And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 De Libna, Josué pasó a Laquis junto con todo Israel. Acamparon cerca de ella y pelearon contra ella.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,
32 YAVÉ entregó Laquis en mano de Israel y la capturó el segundo día. La hirió a filo de espada junto con toda persona que estaba en ella, como hizo con Libna.
And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.
33 Entonces Horam, rey de Gezer subió para ayudar a Laquis, pero Josué lo mató junto con su gente. No le dejó sobreviviente.
Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.
34 Luego Josué y todo Israel pasaron de Laquis a Eglón. Acamparon cerca de ella y pelearon contra ella.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;
35 Aquel mismo día la capturaron. La hirieron a filo de espada y mataron a todo lo que tenía vida en ella, como en Laquis.
And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.
36 Entonces Josué y todo Israel subieron de Eglón a Hebrón y la atacaron.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;
37 Al tomarla, la atacaron a filo de espada a su rey y a todas sus aldeas, y a todo lo que tenía vida en ella, sin dejar sobreviviente. Como hicieron con Eglón, así mató a toda persona que estaba en ella.
And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.
38 Luego Josué, con todo Israel, se volvió contra Debir y combatió contra ella.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;
39 La capturó, tanto a su rey como todas sus aldeas. Mataron a filo de espada y destruyeron absolutamente a toda persona que estaba en ella. No quedó sobreviviente. Como hizo con Hebrón, así hizo con Debir y su rey, como también hizo con Libna y su rey.
And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.
40 Así Josué hirió a toda la tierra: la región montañosa, el Neguev, la Sefela y las laderas, y a todos sus reyes. No dejó sobreviviente, sino destruyó absolutamente todo lo que respiraba, tal como Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel, ordenó.
So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.
41 Porque Josué los mató desde Cades Barnea hasta Gaza, y toda la región montañosa de Gosén hasta Gabaón.
Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 De una vez Josué capturó a todos estos reyes y sus tierras, porque Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel, peleaba por Israel.
And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.
43 Josué, con todo Israel, se volvió a su campamento en Gilgal.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.
