Deuteronomy 2
1 “Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
Y nos volvimos, y partimos al desierto camino del mar Bermejo, como Jehová me había dicho, y rodeamos el monte de Seir por muchos días:
2 Then Yahweh said to me,
Hasta que Jehová me habló, diciendo:
3 ‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
Harto habéis rodeado este monte, volvéos al aquilón.
4 And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
Y manda al pueblo, diciendo: Vosotros pasando por el término de vuestros hermanos los hijos de Esaú, que habitan en Seir, ellos habrán miedo de vosotros, mas vosotros guardáos mucho.
5 but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
No os revolváis con ellos, que no os daré de su tierra ni aun una holladura de una planta de un pie: porque yo he dado por heredad a Esaú el monte de Seir.
6 [When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
La comida compraréis de ellos por dinero, y comeréis; y el agua también compraréis de ellos por dinero, y beberéis,
7 Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
Pues que Jehová tu Dios te ha bendicho en toda obra de tus manos; él sabe que andas por este gran desierto: estos cuarenta años Jehová tu Dios fue contigo, y ninguna cosa te ha faltado.
8 So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
Y pasámos de nuestros hermanos los hijos de Esaú, que habitaban en Seir, por el camino de la campaña de Elat, y de Asión-Gaber: y volvimos, y pasámos camino del desierto de Moab.
9 Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
Y Jehová me dijo: No molestes a Moab, ni te revuelvas con ellos en guerra, que no te daré posesión de su tierra; porque yo he dado a Ar por heredad a los hijos de Lot.
10 A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
Los Emimeos habitaron en ella antes, pueblo grande, y mucho, y alto como gigantes;
11 They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
Por gigantes eran también contados ellos como los Enaceos, y los Moabitas los llamaban Emimeos.
12 The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
Y en Seir habitaron antes los Horeos, a los cuales echaron los hijos de Esaú, y los destruyeron de delante de sí, y moraron en lugar de ellos, como hizo Israel en la tierra de su posesión, que Jehová les dió.
13 [I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
Levantáos ahora, y pasád el arroyo de Zared: y pasámos el arroyo de Zared.
14 It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
Y los días que anduvimos de Cádes-barne hasta que pasámos el arroyo de Zared, fueron treinta y ocho años, hasta que se acabó toda la generación de los hombres de guerra de en medio del campo, como Jehová les había jurado.
15 They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
Y también la mano de Jehová fue sobre ellos para destruirlos de en medio del campo, hasta acabarlos.
16 After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
Y aconteció, que luego que todos los hombres de guerra fueron acabados por muerte de en medio del pueblo,
17 Yahweh said to me,
Jehová me habló, diciendo:
18 ‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
Tú pasarás hoy el término de Moab, a Ar:
19 When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
Y acercarte has delante de los hijos de Ammón: no los molestes, ni te revuelvas con ellos; porque no te tengo de dar posesión de la tierra de los hijos de Ammón: que a los hijos de Lot la he dado por heredad.
20 That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
(Por tierra de gigantes fue habida también ella, gigantes habitaron en ella antes, a los cuales los Ammonitas llamaban los Zomzommeos,
21 They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
Pueblo grande, y mucho, y alto como los Enaceos; los cuales Jehová destruyó de delante de ellos, y ellos los heredaron, y habitaron en su lugar:
22 Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
Como hizo con los hijos de Esaú, que habitaban en Seir, que destruyó a los Horeos de delante de ellos, y ellos los heredaron en su lugar hasta hoy:
23 People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
Y a los Heveos, que habitaban en Haserim hasta Gaza, los Caftoreos que salieron de Caftor los destruyeron, y habitaron en su lugar.)
24 “[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
Levantáos, y partíd, y pasád el arroyo de Arnón. Mira, yo he dado en tu mano a Sejón rey de Jesebón Amorreo, y a su tierra. Comienza, posee y revuélvete con él en guerra.
25 Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
Hoy comenzaré a poner tu miedo y tu espanto sobre los pueblos que están debajo de todo el cielo; los cuales oirán tu fama, y temblarán, y angustiarse han delante de ti.
26 Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
Y envié embajadores desde el desierto de Cademot a Sejón rey de Jesebón con palabras de paz, diciendo:
27 ‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
Pasaré por tu tierra, por el camino, por el camino iré, no me apartaré a diestra ni a siniestra.
28 We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
La comida me venderás por dinero, y comeré; el agua también me darás por dinero, y beberé: solamente pasaré con mis pies:
29 until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
Como lo hicieron conmigo los hijos de Esaú, que habitan en Seir; y los Moabitas, que habitan en Ar: hasta que pase el Jordán, a la tierra que Jehová nuestro Dios nos da.
30 But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
Y Sejón rey de Jesebón no quiso que pasásemos por él, porque Jehová tu Dios había endurecido su espíritu, y obstinado su corazón, para darle en tu mano, como hoy parece.
31 Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
Y díjome Jehová: Mira, ya he comenzado a dar delante de ti a Sejón y a su tierra, comienza, posee, para que heredes su tierra.
32 Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
Y Sejón nos salió al encuentro para pelear, él y todo su pueblo en Jasa:
33 But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
Y Jehová nuestro Dios le entregó delante de nosotros, y herimos a él y a sus hijos, y a todo su pueblo:
34 We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Y tomamos entonces todas sus ciudades, y destruimos todas las ciudades, hombres, y mujeres, y niños, que no dejamos ninguno.
35 We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
Solamente tomamos para nosotros las bestias, y los despojos de las ciudades que tomamos.
36 Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
Desde Aroer, que está junto a la ribera del arroyo de Arnón, y la ciudad que está en el arroyo hasta Galaad, no hubo ciudad, que escapase de nosotros: todas las entregó Jehová nuestro Dios delante de nosotros.
37 But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
Solamente a la tierra de los hijos de Ammón no llegaste, ni a todo lo que está a la orilla del arroyo de Jeboc, ni a las ciudades del monte, y a todo lo que Jehová nuestro Dios mandó.
