11 diciendo: «Yo te daré la tierra de Canaán por parte de vuestra herencia».	11 saying, 'To you I give a land, Canaan, your allotted birthright.'
12 Aunque ellos eran poco numerosos, gente de paso y forasteros allí,	12 When they were insignificant in numbers, a handful of strangers in the land,
13 cuando iban de nación en nación, desde un reino a otro pueblo,	13 wandering from country to country, from one kingdom and nation to another,
14 a nadie permitió oprimirles, por ellos castigó a los reyes:	14 he al owed no one to oppress them; for their sake he instructed kings,
15 «Guardaos de tocar a mis ungidos, ni mal alguno hagáis a mis profetas».	15 'Do not touch my anointed ones, to my prophets you may do no harm.'
16 Llamó al hambre sobre aquel país, todo bastón de pan rompió;	16 He cal ed down famine on the land, he took away their food supply;
17 delante de ellos envió a un hombre, José, vendido como esclavo.	17 he sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, sold as a slave.

22 para instruir a su gusto a sus magnates, y a sus ancianos hacer sabios.	22 to instruct his princes as he saw fit, to teach his counsel ors wisdom.
23 Entonces Israel entró en Egipto, Jacob residió en el país de Cam.	23 Then Israel migrated to Egypt, Jacob settled in the country of Ham.
24 El aumentó a su pueblo en gran manera, le hizo más fuerte que sus adversarios;	24 He made his people increase in numbers, he gave them more strength than their enemies,
25 cambió el corazón de éstos para que odiasen a su pueblo y a sus siervos pusieran asechanzas.	25 whose heart he turned to hate his own people, to double-cross his servants.
26 Luego envió a Moisés su servidor, y Aarón, su escogido,	26 He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, the man of his choice.
27 que hicieron entre ellos sus señales anunciadas, prodigios en el país de Cam.	27 They worked there the wonders he commanded, marvels in the country of Ham.
28 Mandó tinieblas y tinieblas hubo, mas ellos desafiaron sus palabras.	28 Darkness he sent, and darkness fel , but that nation defied his orders.

34 Dio la orden, y llegó la langosta, y el pulgón en número incontable;	34 At his word came locusts, hoppers beyond al counting;
35 comieron toda hierba en su país, comieron el fruto de su suelo.	35 they devoured every green thing in the land, devoured al the produce of the soil.
36 E hirió en su país a todo primogénito, las primicias de todo su vigor;	36 He struck al the first-born in their land, the flower of all their manhood;
37 y a ellos los sacó con plata y oro, ni uno solo flaqueó de entre sus tribus.	37 he led Israel out with silver and gold; in their tribes there was none who stumbled.
38 Egipto se alegró de su salida, pues era presa del terror.	38 Egypt was glad at their leaving, for terror of Israel had seized them.
39 El desplegó una nube por cubierta, y un fuego para alumbrar de noche.	39 He spread out a cloud to cover them, and fire to light up the night.
40 Pidieron, y trajo codornices, de pan de los cielos los hartó;	40 They asked and he brought them quails, food from heaven to their hearts' content;
41 abrió la roca, y brotaron las aguas, como río corrieron por los sequedales.	41 he opened a rock, the waters gushed out, and flowed in dry ground as a river.
42 Recordando su palabra sagrada dada a Abraham su servidor,	42 Faithful to his sacred promise, given to his servant Abraham,
43 sacó a su pueblo en alborozo, a sus elegidos entre gritos de júbilo.	43 he led out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy.
44 Y las tierras les dio de las naciones, el trabajo de las gentes heredaron,	44 He gave them the territories of nations, they reaped the fruit of other people's labours,
45 a fin de que garden sus preceptos y sus leyes observen.	45 on condition that they kept his statutes, and remained obedient to his laws.
