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 it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Joshua and with Israel, and were 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.
that they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
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:
Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, 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 help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with 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.
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and camped against 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.
The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered 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, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
8 Yavé dijo a Josué: No temas a ellos porque los entregué en tu mano, y ninguno de ellos resistirá delante de ti.
The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you."
9 Josué, al subir desde Gilgal durante toda la noche, cayó sobre ellos súbitamente.
Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night.
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.
The LORD confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to 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 it happened, as they fled from before the children of Israel while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that the LORD cast down stones from the sky on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed 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!
Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites into the hand of Israel, when he struck them down at Gibeon, and they were struck down before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still on Gibeon. You, moon, stop 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.
The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and did not hurry to go down about a whole 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.
There was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Josué y todo Israel regresaron a su campamento en Gilgal.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Pero aquellos cinco reyes huyeron y se escondieron en una cueva en Maceda.
These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Le fue dado aviso a Josué: Los cinco reyes fueron hallados escondidos en una cueva en Maceda.
Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
18 Josué dijo: Hagan rodar grandes piedras a la entrada de la cueva y coloquen hombres junto a ella, que los vigilen.
Joshua said, "Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them;
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 not stay. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."
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.
It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
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.
that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of 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, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave 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.
They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave 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.
It happened, when they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." 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.
Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight."
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.
Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the 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.
It happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very 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.
Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. 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.
Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
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.
The LORD delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining in it. 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.
Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and camped against it, and fought against 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.
The LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that 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 help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 Luego Josué y todo Israel pasaron de Laquis a Eglón. Acamparon cerca de ella y pelearon contra ella.
Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they camped against it fought against 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.
They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Entonces Josué y todo Israel subieron de Eglón a Hebrón y la atacaron.
Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against 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.
They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
38 Luego Josué, con todo Israel, se volvió contra Debir y combatió contra ella.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
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.
He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to 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 struck all the land, the hill country, and the Negev, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded.
41 Porque Josué los mató desde Cades Barnea hasta Gaza, y toda la región montañosa de Gosén hasta Gabaón.
And Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza, and the entire region 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.
Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Josué, con todo Israel, se volvió a su campamento en Gilgal.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
