1 Josué convocó a las tribus de Rubén, de Gad, y de la media tribu de Manasés,
1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
2 y les dijo lo siguiente: «Ustedes han cumplido lo que Moisés el siervo del Señor les ordenó y han obedecido las órdenes que les he dado;
2 and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 han cumplido, pues, las órdenes del Señor nuestro Dios. No han abandonado a sus hermanos aunque la campaña ha durado tanto tiempo.
3 You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of Yahweh your God.
4 Ahora el Señor nos ha dado paz como nos la prometió. Por lo tanto, regresen a sus hogares, a la tierra que les fue entregada por Moisés el siervo de Dios en la otra orilla del río Jordán.
4 Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.
5 Sigan obedeciendo todos los mandamientos que Moisés les dio, amen al Señor, y sigan el camino que él ha trazado para sus vidas. Aférrense a él y sírvanle con todo su ser».
5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6 Josué entonces los bendijo y los despidió.
6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
7 Moisés había asignado la tierra de Basán a la media tribu de Manasés, y la otra mitad de la tribu recibió tierras en la orilla occidental del río Jordán. Josué despidió de ellos a estos guerreros, y los bendijo,
7 Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but Joshua gave to the other half among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,
8 y les dijo que compartieran sus grandes riquezas con sus parientes al regresar. Su botín consistía en ganado, plata, oro, bronce, hierro y ropa.
8 and spoke to them, saying, “Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the plunder of your enemies with your brothers.”
9 Los guerreros de Rubén, de Gad y de la media tribu de Manasés dejaron al resto del ejército de Israel en Siló en tierra de Canaán, y cruzaron el río Jordán hacia sus tierras en Galaad.
9 The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
10 Antes de cruzar, estando aún en Canaán, construyeron un gran monumento para que todos lo vieran. Este monumento tenía la forma de un gran altar.
10 When they came to the region near the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
11 Cuando el resto de Israel supo lo que habían hecho,
11 The children of Israel heard this, “Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar along the border of the land of Canaan, in the region around the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the children of Israel.”
12 se reunieron (el ejército) en Siló y se prepararon para ir a ofrecer batalla a sus propios hermanos.
12 When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
13 Pero primero enviaron una delegación dirigida por el sacerdote Finés hijo de Eleazar. Cruzaron el río, llegaron a Galaad, y hablaron a las tribus de Rubén, de Gad y de la media tribu de Manasés.
13 The children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest.
14 En la delegación había diez altos jefes de Israel, uno de cada una de las diez tribus, y cada uno de ellos era cabeza de un clan.
14 With him were ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were each head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.
15 Cuando llegaron a la tierra de Galaad, les dijeron a las tribus de Rubén, Gad, y a la media tribu de Manasés:
15 They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
16 ―La congregación del Señor quiere saber por qué han pecado ustedes contra el Dios de Israel apartándose de él al edificar un altar en rebeldía contra el Señor.
16 “The whole congregation of Yahweh says, ‘What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away today from following Yahweh, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel today against Yahweh?
17 ¡Todavía cargamos con la culpa de Peor, de la cual aún no hemos sido limpiados a pesar de la plaga que nos azotó,
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,
18 y ya ustedes se vuelven a rebelar! Ustedes saben que si se rebelan hoy el Señor se enojará con todos nosotros mañana.
18 that you must turn away today from following Yahweh? It will be, since you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 Si necesitan el altar porque su tierra es impura, únanse con nosotros a este lado del río, donde el Señor vive con nosotros en su santuario, y nosotros compartiremos nuestras tierras con ustedes. Pero no se rebelen contra el Señor edificando otro altar además del altar verdadero de nuestro Dios.
19 However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don’t rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than Yahweh our God’s altar.
20 ¿No recuerdan que cuando Acán el hijo de Zera pecó contra el Señor, la nación entera fue castigada además del hombre que pecó?
20 Didn’t Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man didn’t perish alone in his iniquity.’”
21 Esta fue la respuesta del pueblo de Rubén, de Gad y de la media tribu de Manasés a los jefes de los clanes de Israel:
21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
22 ―El Señor Dios de los dioses, sí, el Señor Dios de los dioses sabe que no hemos edificado el altar en rebeldía contra él. Él sabe (y que lo sepa todo Israel también) que nosotros no hemos edificado el altar para ofrecer holocaustos, ofrendas de harina o sacrificios de paz. Que la maldición de Dios caiga sobre nosotros si hemos tenido tal intención.
22 “The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t save us today),
23 Not in this translation
23 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let Yahweh himself require it.
24 Lo hemos hecho porque amamos al Señor, y tenemos temor que en el futuro los hijos de ustedes digan a los nuestros: “¿Qué derecho tienen ustedes de venir a adorar al Señor Dios de Israel?
24 “If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, “What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?
25 El Señor ha colocado el río Jordán como barrera entre nuestro pueblo y el de ustedes. Ustedes no tienen parte en la tierra del Señor. Y podría ser que nuestros hijos se apartaran del Señor”.
25 For Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in Yahweh.”’ So your children might make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.
26 »Por eso decidimos edificar este altar, no para usarlo, pero sí para mostrar a nuestros hijos y a los hijos de ustedes que nosotros también podemos adorar al Señor con holocaustos; ofrendas de paz y sacrificios, y ellos no podrán decir a nuestros hijos: “Ustedes no tienen nada que ver con el Señor nuestro Dios”.
26 “Therefore we said, ‘Let’s now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;
27 Not in this translation
27 but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;’ that your children may not tell our children in time to come, ‘You have no portion in Yahweh.’
28 Si ellos dicen esto, nuestros hijos podrán responder: “Miren el altar del Señor que nuestros padres hicieron según el modelo original del altar del Señor. No es para ofrecer holocaustos ni sacrificios, sino como señal (es un símbolo) de la relación que ambos tenemos con el Señor.
28 “Therefore we said, ‘It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, “Behold the pattern of Yahweh’s altar, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.”’
29 Lejos esté de nosotros el apartarnos del Señor, o de rebelarnos contra él construyendo otro altar para los holocaustos, para las ofrendas de harina y para los sacrificios. Solamente el altar que está delante del santuario puede ser usado para ello”.
29 “Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and turn away today from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides Yahweh our God’s altar that is before his tabernacle!”
30 Cuando el sacerdote Finés y los altos jefes oyeron estas razones de las tribus de Gad, de Rubén y de Manasés, quedaron satisfechos.
30 When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
31 Finés les respondió: ―Ahora sabemos que el Señor está entre nosotros porque ustedes no han pecado contra él como habíamos pensado. Nos han librado de la destrucción.
31 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of Yahweh’s hand.”
32 Entonces Finés y los diez embajadores regresaron al pueblo de Israel y les contaron lo ocurrido,
32 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
33 y todo Israel se alegró y alabó a Dios, y no se habló más de pelear contra Rubén y Gad.
33 The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.
34 Los pueblos de Rubén y Gad le pusieron nombre al altar y le llamaron Altar del Testimonio, porque dijeron: «Es un testimonio entre nosotros y ellos de que el Señor es nuestro Dios también».
34 The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar “A Witness Between Us that Yahweh is God.”
