< Deuteronomio 3 >
1 Y volvimos, y subimos camino de Basán, y saliónos al encuentro Og rey de Basán para pelear, él y todo su pueblo, en Edrai.
“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 Y díjome Jehová: No hayas temor de él, porque en tu mano he entregado a él y a todo su pueblo, y su tierra, y harás con él como hiciste con Sejón rey Amorreo, que habitaba en Jesebón.
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 Y Jehová nuestro Dios entregó en nuestra mano también a Og rey de Basán y a todo su pueblo, al cual herimos hasta no quedar de él ninguno.
“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 Y tomamos entonces todas sus ciudades: no quedó ciudad que no les tomásemos, sesenta ciudades, toda la tierra de Argob del 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 estas ciudades fortalecidas con alto muro, con puertas y barras; sin otras muy muchas ciudades sin muro:
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 Y destruímoslas, como hicimos a Sejón rey de Jesebón, destruyendo toda ciudad, hombres, mujeres, y 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 Y todas las bestias, y los despojos de las ciudades tomamos para nosotros.
But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
8 Y tomamos entonces la tierra de mano de dos reyes Amorreos que estaba de esta parte del Jordán, desde el arroyo de Arnón hasta el monte de 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, Sarión; y los Amorreos, Sanir.)
(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
10 Todas las ciudades de la campaña, y todo Galaad, y todo Basán hasta Selca y Edrai, 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 solo Og rey de Basán había quedado de los gigantes que quedaron. He aquí su lecho, un lecho de hierro, ¿no está en Rabbat de los hijos de Ammón? su longura es de nueve codos, y su anchura de cuatro codos, al 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 Y esta tierra heredamos entonces desde Aroer, que está al arroyo de Arnón; y la mitad del monte de Galaad con sus ciudades 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 la resta de Galaad y toda la Basán del reino de Og di a la media tribu de Manasés, toda la tierra de Argob toda Basán, que se llamaba la tierra de los gigantes.
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 tierra de Argob hasta el término de Gessuri y Macati; y llamóla de su nombre Basan-havot-jair, hasta 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 Y a Maquir di a Galaad.
The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
16 Y a los Rubenitas y Gaditas di a Galaad hasta el arroyo de Arnón, el medio del arroyo por término hasta el arroyo de Jeboc, el término de los hijos de Ammón:
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 Y la campaña, y el Jordán y el término, desde Ceneret hasta la mar de la campaña, la mar de sal, las vertientes abajo del Fasga al oriente.
[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 Y mandéos entonces, diciendo: Jehová vuestro Dios os ha dado esta tierra, que la poseáis: pasaréis armados delante de vuestros hermanos los hijos de Israel todos los valientes.
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 Solamente vuestras mujeres, y vuestros niños, y vuestros ganados, porque yo sé que tenéis mucho ganado, quedarán 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 Jehová dé reposo a vuestros hermanos, como a vosotros, y hereden también ellos la tierra, que Jehová vuestro Dios les da tras el Jordán: y volveros heis cada uno a su heredad, 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 Mandé también a Josué entonces, diciendo: Tus ojos ven todo lo que Jehová vuestro Dios ha hecho a aquellos dos reyes; así hará Jehová a todos los reinos a los cuales tú pasarás.
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 temáis, que Jehová vuestro Dios, él es el que pelea por vosotros.
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
23 Y oré a Jehová entonces, diciendo:
“At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
24 Señor Jehová, tú has comenzado a mostrar a tu siervo, tu grandeza, y tu mano fuerte: porque ¿qué Dios hay en el cielo ni en la tierra que haga como tus obras, y como tus valentías?
‘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 Pase yo ahora, y vea aquella tierra buena, que está tras el Jordán, este buen monte, 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 Mas Jehová se había enojado contra mí por amor de vosotros, por lo cual no me oyó: y me dijo Jehová: Bástete, no me hables más de este negocio.
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 cumbre del Fasga, y alza tus ojos al occidente, y al aquilón, y al mediodía, y al oriente, y ve por 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 Y manda a Josué, y esfuérzale, y confórtale, porque él ha de pasar delante de este pueblo, y él les hará heredar la tierra que 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 Y parámos en el valle delante de Bet-pehor.
So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
