Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 And these [are] the nations which the Lord left to prove Israel with them, all that had not known the wars of Canaan.
1 ESTAS, pues, son las gentes que dejó Jehová para probar con ellas á Israel, á todos aquellos que no habían conocido todas las guerras de Canaán;
2 Only for the sake of the generations of Israel, to teach them war, only the men before them knew them not.
2 Para que al menos el linaje de los hijos de Israel conociese, para enseñarlos en la guerra, siquiera [fuese] á los que antes no la habían conocido:
3 The five lordships of the Philistines, and every Canaanite, and the Sidonian, and the Hivite who dwelt in Lebanon from the mount of Hermon to Lebo-hamath.
3 Cinco príncipes de los Philisteos, y todos los Cananeos, y los Sidonios, y los Heveos que habitaban en el monte Líbano: desde el monte de Baal-hermón hasta llegar á Hamath.
4 And [this] was done in order to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commands of the Lord, which he charged their fathers by the hand of Moses.
4 Estos pues fueron para probar por ellos á Israel, para saber si obedecerían á los mandamientos de Jehová, que él había prescrito á sus padres por mano de Moisés.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
5 Así los hijos de Israel habitaban entre los Cananeos, Hetheos, Amorrheos, Pherezeos, Heveos, y Jebuseos:
6 And they took their daughters for wives to themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
6 Y tomaron de sus hijas por mujeres, y dieron sus hijas á los hijos de ellos, y sirvieron á sus dioses.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
7 Hicieron, pues, los hijos de Israel lo malo en ojos de Jehová: y olvidados de Jehová su Dios, sirvieron á los Baales, y á los [ídolos de los] bosques.
8 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Syria of the rivers: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
8 Y la saña de Jehová se encendió contra Israel, y vendiólos en manos de Chusan-risathaim, rey de Mesopotamia; y sirvieron los hijos de Israel á Chusan-risathaim ocho años.
9 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and the Lord raised up a savior to Israel, and he saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb younger than himself.
9 Y clamaron los hijos de Israel á Jehová; y Jehová suscitó salvador á los hijos de Israel y librólos; [es á saber], á Othoniel hijo de Cenez, hermano menor de Caleb.
10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war against Cushan-rishathaim: and the Lord delivered into his hand Cushan-rishathaim king of Syria of the rivers, and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
10 Y el espíritu de Jehová fué sobre él, y juzgó á Israel, y salió á batalla, y Jehová entregó en su mano á Chusan-risathaim, rey de Siria, y prevaleció su mano contra Chusan-risathaim.
11 And the land was quiet forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
11 Y reposó la tierra cuarenta años; y murió Othoniel, hijo de Cenez.
12 And the children of Israel continued to do evil before the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil before the Lord.
12 Y tornaron los hijos de Israel á hacer lo malo ante los ojos de Jehová; y Jehová esforzó á Eglón rey de Moab contra Israel, por cuanto habían hecho lo malo ante los ojos de Jehová.
13 And he gathered to himself all the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of Palm trees.
13 Y juntó consigo á los hijos de Ammón y de Amalec, y fué, é hirió á Israel, y tomó la ciudad de las palmas.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
14 Y sirvieron los hijos de Israel á Eglón rey de los Moabitas diez y ocho años.
15 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and he raised up to them a savior, Ehud the son of Gera a son of Jamin, a man who used both hands alike: and the children of Israel sent gifts by his hand to Eglon king of Moab.
15 Y clamaron los hijos de Israel á Jehová; y Jehová les suscitó salvador, á Aod, hijo de Gera, Benjamita, el cual tenía cerrada la mano derecha. Y los hijos de Israel enviaron con él un presente á Eglón rey de Moab.
16 And Ehud made himself a dagger of two edges, of a span long, and he girded it under his cloak upon his right thigh.
16 Y Aod se había hecho un puñal de dos filos, de un codo de largo; y ciñósele debajo de sus vestidos á su lado derecho.
17 And he went, and brought the presents to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon [was] a very handsome man.
17 Y presentó el presente á Eglón rey de Moab; y era Eglón hombre muy grueso.
18 And it came to pass when Ehud [had] made an end of offering his gifts, that he dismissed those that brought the gifts.
18 Y luego que hubo presentado el don, despidió á la gente que lo había traído.
19 And he himself returned from the quarries that are by Gilgal; and Ehud said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king! and Eglon said to him, Be silent: and he sent away from his presence all who waited upon him.
19 Mas él se volvió desde los ídolos que están en Gilgal, y dijo: Rey, una palabra secreta tengo que decirte. El entonces dijo: Calla. Y saliéronse de con él todos los que delante de él estaban.
20 And Ehud went in to him; and he sat in his own upper summer chamber quite alone; and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee, O king: and Eglon rose up from his throne near him.
20 Y llegóse Aod á él, el cual estaba sentado solo en una sala de verano. Y Aod dijo: Tengo palabra de Dios para ti. El entonces se levantó de la silla.
21 And it came to pass as he arose, that Ehud stretched forth his left hand, and took the dagger off his right thigh, and plunged it into his belly;
21 Mas Aod metió su mano izquierda, y tomó el puñal de su lado derecho, y metióselo por el vientre;
22 and drove in also the haft after the blade, and the fat closed in upon the blade, for he drew not out the dagger from his belly.
22 De tal manera que la empuñadura entró también tras la hoja, y la grosura encerró la hoja, que él no sacó el puñal de su vientre: y salió el estiércol.
23 And Ehud went out to the porch, and passed out by the appointed [guards], and shut the doors of the chamber upon him, and locked [them].
23 Y saliendo Aod al patio, cerró tras sí las puertas de la sala.
24 And he went out: and Eglon’s servants came, and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber [were] locked; and they said, Does he not uncover his feet in the summer chamber?
24 Y salido él, vinieron sus siervos, los cuales viendo las puertas de la sala cerradas, dijeron: Sin duda él cubre sus pies en la sala de verano.
25 And they waited till they were ashamed, and, behold, there was no one that opened the doors of the upper chamber; and they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead upon the earth.
25 Y habiendo esperado hasta estar confusos, pues que él no abría las puertas de la sala, tomaron la llave y abrieron: y he aquí su señor caído en tierra muerto.
26 And Ehud escaped while they were in a tumult, and no one paid attention to him; and he passed the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
26 Mas entre tanto que ellos se detuvieron, Aod se escapó, y pasando los ídolos, salvóse en Seirath.
27 And it came to pass when Ehud came into the land of Israel, that he blew the horn in Mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came down with him from the mountain, and he [was] before them.
27 Y como hubo entrado, tocó el cuerno en el monte de Ephraim, y los hijos de Israel descendieron con él del monte, y él [iba] delante de ellos.
28 And he said to them, Come down after me, for the Lord God has delivered our enemies, even Moab, into our hand; and they went down after him, and seized on the fords of Jordan before Moab, and he did not suffer a man to pass over.
28 Entonces él les dijo: Seguidme, porque Jehová ha entregado vuestros enemigos los Moabitas en vuestras manos. Y descendieron en pos de él, y tomaron los vados del Jordán á Moab, y no dejaron pasar á ninguno.
29 And they smote Moab on that day about ten thousand men, every lusty [person] and every mighty man; and not a man escaped.
29 Y en aquel tiempo hirieron de los Moabitas como diez mil hombres, todos valientes y todos hombres de guerra; no escapó hombre.
30 So Moab was humbled in that day under the hand of Israel, and the land had rest eighty years; and Ehud judged them till he died.
30 Así quedó Moab sojuzgado aquel día bajo la mano de Israel: y reposó la tierra ochenta años.
31 And after him rose up Shamgar the son of Anath, and smote the Philistines to the number of six hundred men with a plowshare [such as is drawn by] oxen; and he too delivered Israel.
31 Después de éste fué Samgar hijo de Anat, el cual hirió seiscientos hombres de los Filisteos con una aguijada de bueyes; y él también salvó á Israel.
