< Numbers 10 >

1 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
2 “[Tell someone to] make two trumpets by hammering each one from [one lump of] silver. Blow the trumpets to summon the people to come together and also to signal that they must move their tents [to a new location].
“Haz dos trompetas de plata martillada. Se usarán para convocar a los israelitas y para hacer que el campamento se mueva.
3 If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Cuando se toquen las dos trompetas, todos los israelitas se reunirán ante ti en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión.
4 If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
Pero si sólo se toca una, sólo los líderes de la tribu se reunirán ante ti.
5 If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
“Cuando se toque la trompeta, que es la señal de alarma para salir, los campamentos del lado este deben salir primero.
6 When the trumpets are blown loudly the second time, the tribes that are to the south should start to travel. The loud blasts on the trumpet will signal that they should start to travel.
Cuando se toca la trompeta por segunda vez, los campamentos del lado sur deben marchar. Esa es su señal para empezar a moverse.
7 When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
Para convocar a la gente, soplen las trompetas normalmente, no la señal de alarma fuerte.
8 “The priests who are descended from Aaron are the ones who should blow the trumpets. That is a regulation that will never be changed.
Los descendientes de Aarón deben tocar las trompetas. Esta regulación seguirá vigente en todos los tiempos y para todas las generaciones futuras.
9 When you fight against enemies who attack you in your own land, tell the priests to blow the trumpets loudly. I, Yahweh, your God, will hear that, and I will rescue you from your enemies.
“Cuando estés en tu propia tierra y tengas que ir a la batalla contra un enemigo que te haya atacado, toca la señal de alarma y el Señor tu Dios no te olvidará: te salvará de tus enemigos.
10 Also tell the priests to blow the trumpets when the people are happy, and at the festivals [each year], and at the times when they celebrate the new moon each month. Tell them to blow the trumpets when the people bring offerings that will be completely burned, and when they bring offerings to maintain fellowship with me. If they do that, it will help you to remember that I, Yahweh your God, [will help you].”
Toquen las trompetas cuando celebren también, en sus fiestas regulares y al principio de cada mes. Es decir, cuando traigas tus holocaustos y tus ofrendas de comunión que serán como un recordatorio para ti ante tu Dios. Yo soy el Señor tu Dios”.
11 On the twentieth day of May in the second year [after the/we Israelis left Egypt], the cloud rose up from above the Sacred Tent.
Entonces la nube se levantó del Tabernáculo del Testimonio el vigésimo día del segundo mes del segundo año.
12 So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.
Los israelitas abandonaron el desierto del Sinaí y se desplazaron de un lugar a otro hasta que la nube se detuvo en el desierto de Parán.
13 That was the first time we/they moved, obeying the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses/me to tell them.
Esta fue la primera vez que salieron siguiendo el mandato del Señor a través de Moisés.
14 The group that went first, carrying their flag/banner, was the group from the tribe of Judah. Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, was their leader.
Las divisiones de la tribu de Judá fueron las primeras en marchar bajo su bandera, con Naasón, hijo de Aminadab, al mando.
15 The group from the tribe of Issachar [followed them]. Nethanel, the son of Zuar, was their leader.
Natanael, hijo de Zuar, estaba a cargo de la tribu de Isacar,
16 The group from the tribe of Zebulun went next. Eliab, the son of Helon, was their leader.
y Eliab, hijo de Helón, estaba a cargo de la división tribal de Zabulón.
17 Then they dismantled the Sacred Tent, and the descendants of Gershon and Merari carried it, and they went next.
Entonces el Tabernáculo fue desmontado, y los guersonitas y los meraritas que lo llevaban se pusieron en marcha.
18 The group from the tribe of Reuben went next, carrying their flag. Elizur, the son of Shedeur, was their leader.
Luego vinieron las divisiones de la tribu de Rubén, quienes marcharon bajo su bandera, con Elisur, hijo de Sedeur, a cargo.
19 The group from the tribe of Simeon was next. Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, was their leader.
Selumiel, hijo de Zurishaddai, estaba a cargo de la tribu de Simeón,
20 The group from the tribe of Gad was next. Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, was their leader.
y Eliasaf, hijo de Deuel, estaba a cargo de la tribu de Gad.
21 The group descended from Kohath was next. They carried the sacred items from the Sacred Tent. The Sacred Tent itself was set up at the new location before they arrived there.
Entonces los coatitas se pusieron en marcha, llevando los objetos sagrados. El tabernáculo se colocaría antes de que llegaran.
22 The group from the tribe of Ephraim was next, carrying their flag. Elishama, the son of Ammihud, was their leader.
Luego vinieron las divisiones de la tribu de Efraín, y marcharon bajo su bandera, con Elisama, hijo de Amihud a cargo.
23 The group from the tribe of Manasseh went next. Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, was their leader.
Gamaliel, hijo de Pedasur, estaba a cargo de la tribu de Manasés,
24 The group from the tribe of Benjamin, went next. Abidan, the son of Gideoni, was their leader.
y Abidán, hijo de Gedeón, estaba a cargo de la tribu de Benjamín.
25 The ones who went last were the group from the tribe of Dan, carrying their flag. Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, was their leader.
Finalmente llegaron las divisiones de Dan que marcharon bajo su bandera, defendiendo la retaguardia de todos los grupos tribales, con Ahiezer, hijo de Amisadai, a cargo.
26 The group from the tribe of Asher went next. Pagiel, the son of Ocran, was their leader.
Pagiel, hijo de Ocrán, estaba a cargo de la tribu de Aser,
27 The group from the tribe of Naphtali went last. Ahira, the son of Enan, was their leader.
y Ajirá, hijo de Enán, estaba a cargo de la tribu de Neftalí.
28 That was the order in which the groups of Israeli tribes traveled.
Este era el orden en el se desplazaban las tribus de Israel.
29 One day Moses/I said to his/my brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel from the Midian people-group, “We are on the way to the place that Yahweh promised to give to us. Come with us, and we will take good care of you, because Yahweh has promised [to do] good things for us Israeli people.”
Moisés le explicó a Hobab, el hijo del suegro de Moisés, Reuel, el madianita, “Nos vamos al lugar que el Señor prometió diciendo: ‘Te daré esta tierra’. Ven con nosotros y seremos buenos contigo, porque el Señor le ha prometido cosas buenas a Israel”.
30 But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
“No, no me iré, volveré a mi país y a mi pueblo”, respondió Hobab.
31 But Moses/I said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can set up our tents in this desert, and you can guide us.
“Por favor, no nos abandones ahora”, le dijo Moisés, “porque tú eres el único que sabe dónde debemos acampar en el desierto y puedes guiarnos.
32 Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
Si vienes con nosotros, todo lo bueno que el Señor nos de como bendición lo compartiremos contigo”.
33 [So Hobab agreed to go with them]. The Israelis left Sinai Mountain, [which they called] Yahweh’s Mountain, and they walked for three days. The [men carrying the] sacred chest went in front of the other people for those three days, and they kept looking for a place to set up their tents.
Se fueron de la montaña del Señor para hacer un viaje de tres días, y El Arca del Pacto del Señor les mostró el camino durante estos tres días para encontrar un lugar para acampar.
34 The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
La nube del Señor estuvo sobre ellos durante el día mientras se alejaban del campamento.
35 Each morning when the men who were carrying the sacred chest started to walk, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, arise! Scatter your enemies! Cause those who hate you to run away from you!”
Cada vez que el Arca avanzaba, Moisés gritaba: “Levántate, Señor, y que tus enemigos se dispersen, y que los que te odian huyan de ti”.
36 And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
Cada vez que se detenía, Moisés gritaba: “Vuelve, Señor, a los miles y miles del pueblo de Israel”.
