1 Luego nos volvimos y subimos por el camino de Basán. Og, rey de Basán, salió a nuestro encuentro con todo su pueblo y nos presentó batalla en Edreí.1 “And so, having turned back, we ascended by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, went forth with his people to meet us in warfare at Edrei.
2 Yahveh me dijo: «No le temas, porque yo le he entregado en tus manos con todo su pueblo y su país. Harás con él lo que hiciste son Sijón, el rey amorreo que habitaba en Jesbón».2 And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fear him. For he has been delivered into your hand, with all his people as well as his land. And you shall do to him just as you have done to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’
3 Yahveh nuestro Dios entregó en nuestras manos también a Og, rey de Basán, con todo su pueblo. Le batimos hasta no dejarle ni un superviviente.3 Therefore, the Lord our God delivered into our hands, now Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck them down unto utter annihilation,
4 Nos apoderamos entonces de todas sus ciudades; no hubo ciudad que no les tomáramos: sesenta ciudades, toda la confederación de Argob, reino de Og en Basán,4 laying waste to all his cities at one time. There was not a village which escaped from us: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.
5 plazas fuertes todas ellas, con altas murallas, puertas y cerrojos; sin contar las ciudades de los perizitas, en gran número.5 All the cities were fortified with very high walls, and with gates and bars, in addition to innumerable villages which had no walls.
6 Las consagramos al anatema, como habíamos hecho con Sijón, rey de Jesbón: anatema a toda ciudad: hombres, mujeres y niños;6 And we wiped them out, just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, and its men, as well as women and children.
7 aunque guardamos como botín todo el ganado y los despojos de estas ciudades.7 But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered.
8 Así tomamos entonces, de mano de los dos reyes amorreos, el país de Transjordania, desde el torrente Arnón hasta el monte Hermón8 And at that time, we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon as far as Mount Hermon,
9 (los sidonios llaman al Hermón Siryón, y los amorreos lo llaman Senir):9 which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir,
10 todas las ciudades de la Altiplanicie, todo Galaad y todo Basán hasta Salká y Edreí, ciudades del reino de Og en Basán.10 all the cities that are situated in the plain, and the entire land of Gilead and Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 (Og, rey de Basán, era el último superviviente de los refaítas: su lecho es el lecho de hierro que se halla en Rabbá de los ammonitas, de nueve codos de largo por cuatro de ancho, en codos corrientes.11 For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left behind out of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is on display, (it is in Rabbah, among the sons of Ammon) being nine cubits in length, and four in width, according to the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.
12 De este país tomamos posesión entonces: desde Aroer, a orillas del torrente Arnón, la mitad de la montaña de Galaad con sus ciudades se la di a los rubenitas y a los gaditas.12 And we possessed the land, at that time, from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as the middle of Mount Gilead. And I gave its cities to Ruben and Gad.
13 A la media tribu de Manasés le di el resto de Galaad y todo Basán, reino de Og: toda la confederación de Argob. (A todo este Basán es a lo que se llama el país de los refaítas.)13 Then I delivered the remaining part of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, which is the entire region of Argob, to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. And all of Bashan is called the land of the giants.
14 Yaír, hijo de Manasés, se quedó con toda la confederación de Argob, hasta la frontera de los guesuritas y de los maakatitas, y dio a Basán su nombre que aún conserva: Aduares de Yaír.14 Jair, the son of Manasseh, possessed all the region of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maacath. And he called Bashan by his own name, Havvoth Jair, that is, the villages of Jair, even to the present day.
15 A Makir le di Galaad.15 Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead.
16 A los rubenitas y a los gaditas les di desde Galaad hasta el torrente Arnón - la mitad del torrente marcaba la frontera - y hasta el torrente Yabboq, frontera de los ammonitas.16 And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad, I gave from the land of Gilead as far as the torrent Arnon, one half of the torrent and its confines, even to the torrent Jabbok, which is along the border of the sons of Ammon,
17 La Arabá y el Jordán hacían de frontera, desde Kinnéret hasta el mar de la Arabá (el mar de la Sal), al pie de las laderas del Pisgá, al oriente.17 and the plain of the wilderness, as well as the Jordan, and the borders of Chinnereth, all the way to the sea of the desert, which is very salty, to the base of Mount Pisgah toward the east.
18 Yo os ordené entonces: «Yahveh, vuestro Dios, os ha dado esta tierra en posesión. Vosotros pasaréis armados al frente de vuestros hermanos los israelitas, todos hombres de armas.18 And I instructed you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God gives to you this land as an inheritance. Having armed yourselves, go before your brothers, the sons of Israel, all you strong men.
19 Sólo vuestras mujeres, vuestros hijos y vuestros rebaños (pues sé que tenéis rebaños numerosos) quedarán en las ciudades que yo os he dado,19 Leave behind your wives and little ones, as well as the cattle. For I know that you have many cattle, and they should remain in the cities which I have delivered to you,
20 hasta que Yahveh conceda reposo a vuestros hermanos, como a vosotros, y ellos también hayan tomado posesión de la tierra que Yahveh vuestro Dios les ha dado al otro lado del Jordán; entonces volveréis cada uno a la heredad que yo os he dado».20 until the Lord provides rest to your brothers, just as he has provided for you. And they, too, shall possess the land, which he will give to them beyond the Jordan. Then each one shall return to his possession, which I have allotted to you.’
21 A Josué también le di entonces la orden siguiente: «Tus propios ojos han visto todo lo que Yahveh vuestro Dios ha hecho con estos dos reyes; lo mismo hará Yahveh con todos los reinos por donde vas a pasar.21 Likewise, I instructed Joshua at that time, saying: ‘Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So also will he do to all the kingdoms through which you shall pass.
22 No les temáis, porque el mismo Yahveh vuestro Dios combate por vosotros».22 You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’
23 Entonces hice esta súplica a Yahveh:23 And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying:
24 «Yahveh, Señor mío, tú has comenzado a manifestar a tu siervo tu grandeza y tu mano fuerte; pues ¿qué Dios hay, en los cielos ni en la tierra, que pueda hacer obras y proezas como las tuyas?24 ‘Lord God, you have begun to reveal your greatness and your very strong hand to your servant. For there is no other god, either in heaven or on earth, who is able to accomplish your works, or to be compared to your strength.
25 Déjame, por favor, pasar y ver la tierra buena de allende el Jordán, esa buena montaña y el Líbano».25 Therefore, I will cross over, and I will view this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this singular mountain, and Lebanon.’
26 Pero, por culpa vuestra, Yahveh se irritó contra mí y no me escuchó; antes bien me dijo: «¡Basta ya! No sigas hablándome de esto.26 And the Lord became angry with me because of you, and he would not heed me. But he said to me: ‘It is enough for you. You shall no longer speak to me at all about this matter.
27 Sube a la cumbre del Pisgá, alza tus ojos al occidente, al norte, al mediodía y al oriente; y contempla con tu ojos, porque no pasarás ese Jordán.27 Ascend to the summit of Pisgah, and look around with your eyes to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it. For you shall not cross this Jordan.
28 Da tus órdenes a Josúe, dale ánimos y fortalécele, porque él pasará al frente de este pueblo: él le pondrá en posesión de esa tierra que ves».28 Instruct Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him. For he shall go before this people, and he shall distribute to them the land that you will see.’
29 Y nos quedamos, en el valle, enfrente de Bet Peor.29 And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.”
