| 1 Luego torcimos y subimos camino de Basán. Pero Og, rey de Basán, salió a nuestro encuentro con todo su pueblo para combatir 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 El Señor me dijo: “No lo temas, pues voy a entregarlo en tus manos, con todo su pueblo y su territorio. Trátalo como trataste a Sijón, rey de los amorreos, 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 El Señor nuestro Dios entregó también en nuestras manos a Og, rey de Basán, y a todo su pueblo, y lo derrotamos hasta dejarlo sin supervivientes. | 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 Entonces conquistamos todas sus ciudades, sin dejar una por conquistar: sesenta ciudades, toda la región de Argob, del 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 Todas ellas eran ciudades fortificadas, con altas murallas, portones y cerrojos, aparte de un gran número de ciudades sin fortificar. | 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 exterminio, como habíamos hecho con Sijón, rey de Jesbón; consagramos al exterminio toda la 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 pero guardamos como botín todo el ganado y los despojos de las ciudades. | 7 But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered. |
| 8 Así conquistamos entonces los territorios de los dos reyes amorreos, de allende el Jordán, desde el torrente Arnón hasta el monte Hermón. | 8 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 Sarión, y los amorreos lo llaman Sanir). | 9 which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir, |
| 10 Todas las ciudades de la meseta, todo Galaad y todo Basán hasta Salcá 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 (Pues Og, rey de Basán, era el único que quedaba de los refaítas. Su lecho, un lecho de hierro, es el que se muestra en Rabá de los amonitas; mide cuatro metros y medio de largo por dos de ancho). | 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 Este territorio, que ocupamos entonces: desde Aroer, que está a orillas del torrente Arnón, y la mitad de la montaña de Galaad con sus ciudades, se lo di a los rubenitas y 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 Y el resto de Galaad y todo Basán, reino de Og, se lo di a media tribu de Manasés: toda la región de Argob. (Todo este Basán es lo que se llama tierra 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 región de Argob, hasta la frontera de los guesuritas y de los maacatitas, y dio a Basán su propio nombre: Aldeas de Yaír, que aún conserva. | 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 Maquir, le di Galaad. | 15 Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead. |
| 16 A los rubenitas y gaditas, les di de Galaad hasta el torrente Arnón, con la frontera en medio del torrente, y hasta el torrente Yaboc, frontera con los amonitas; | 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 también la Arabá, con el Jordán por frontera, desde Quinéret hasta el mar de la Arabá (el mar de la Sal), al pie de las laderas del Pisgá, a 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 En aquella ocasión os mandé: “El Señor, vuestro Dios, os ha dado esta tierra en propiedad. Los armados, todos los guerreros, pasaréis delante de vuestros hermanos, los hijos de Israel. | 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 Solo vuestras mujeres, vuestros hijos y vuestros ganados —sé que tenéis mucho ganado— se quedarán en las ciudades que 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 el Señor conceda el descanso a vuestros hermanos, como a vosotros, y también ellos tomen posesión de la tierra que el Señor, vuestro Dios, les da allende el Jordán; entonces volveréis cada uno a la heredad que 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 Entonces di esta orden a Josué: “Tus ojos han visto todo lo que el Señor, vuestro Dios, ha hecho con estos dos reyes. Así hará el Señor con todos los reinos por donde vais 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 los temáis, porque el Señor, vuestro Dios, combate por vosotros”. | 22 You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’ |
| 23 En aquella ocasión supliqué al Señor: | 23 And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying: |
| 24 “Señor Dios, tú has comenzado a mostrar a tu siervo tu grandeza y el poder de tu mano, pues ¿qué dios hay en los cielos o en la tierra que haga obras o hazañas 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 Permíteme pasar para que vea la tierra buena que está al otro lado del Jordán, esas hermosas montañas 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 el Señor se irritó contra mí por culpa vuestra y no me escuchó. Y me dijo el Señor: “¡Basta ya! No vuelvas a hablarme de este asunto. | 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 cima del Pisgá, levanta tus ojos hacia el oeste, el norte, el sur y el este, y contempla con tus ojos, pues no pasarás este 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 órdenes a Josué, confórtalo y anímalo, pues él pasará al frente de este pueblo y él les dará en posesión la tierra que estás viendo”. | 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, frente a Bet Peor. | 29 And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.” |
