WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Los jefes de Israel habían jurado en Mizpa que no permitirían que sus hijas se casaran con hombres de la tribu de Benjamín.

1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”

2 Los caudillos de Israel se reunieron en Betel y se sentaron delante del Señor hasta la tarde y lloraron amargamente.

2 The people came to Bethel and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept severely.

3 «Oh Señor, Dios de Israel —lloraban—, ¿por qué ha sucedido esto, que una de nuestras tribus falte?».

3 They said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel, that there should be one tribe lacking in Israel today?”

4 Al día siguiente se levantaron temprano y edificaron un altar, y ofrecieron sacrificios y ofrendas de paz en él.

4 On the next day, the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

5 Y decían entre ellos: «¿Hubo alguna tribu de Israel que no estuviera representada cuando tuvimos nuestro consejo delante del Señor en Mizpa?». En aquella ocasión se había acordado por juramento solemne que quien se negara a asistir «debía morir».

5 The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up in the assembly to Yahweh?” For they had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to Yahweh to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”

6 Hubo profunda tristeza a través de todo Israel por la pérdida de la tribu hermana de Benjamín. «Ha sido cortada de Israel toda una tribu —decían—.

6 The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.

7 ¿Cómo conseguiremos mujeres para los pocos que quedan, puesto que hemos jurado al Señor que no les daremos nuestras hijas?».

7 How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by Yahweh that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”

8 Entonces pensaron nuevamente en el juramento que habían hecho de matar a todos los que se habían negado a acudir a Mizpa y recordaron que al pasar lista a la tropa, de Jabes Galaad nadie había asistido.

8 They said, “What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up to Yahweh to Mizpah?” Behold, no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly.

9 Not in this translation

9 For when the people were counted, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.

10 Así pues, enviaron doce mil de los mejores soldados para que destruyeran Jabes Galaad. Todos los hombres, las mujeres casadas y los niños fueron muertos, pero las doncellas de Jabes Galaad fueron dejadas con vida. Hubo cuatrocientas de estas y fueron llevadas al campamento de Siló.

10 The congregation sent twelve thousand of the most valiant men there, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.

11 Not in this translation

11 This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man.”

12 Not in this translation

12 They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

13 Israel envió una delegación de paz al pequeño remanente de hombres de Benjamín que estaban en la roca de Rimón.

13 The whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.

14 Les fueron entregadas las cuatrocientas jóvenes para que se casaran con ellas y regresaron a sus hogares. Pero no fueron suficientes para todos ellos.

14 Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead. There still weren’t enough for them.

15 Aquel fue un tiempo muy triste para Israel, porque el Señor había abierto una brecha entre las tribus de Israel.

15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because Yahweh had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

16 «¿De dónde sacaremos mujeres para los demás, puesto que todas las mujeres de Benjamín han muerto? —preguntaban los dirigentes de Israel—.

16 Then the elders of the congregation said, “How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”

17 Tenemos que hallar una forma de obtener mujeres para ellos, a fin de que no se pierda para siempre toda una tribu de Israel.

17 They said, “There must be an inheritance for those who are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe not be blotted out from Israel.

18 Pero no podemos darles nuestras hijas, hemos jurado con voto solemne que cualquiera que lo haga será maldito de parte de Dios».

18 However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, ‘Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.’”

19 De pronto alguien se acordó de la festividad religiosa anual que se tenía en los campos de Siló, entre Leboná y Betel, al costado oriental del camino que va desde Betel a Siquén, y

19 They said, “Behold, there is a feast of Yahweh from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.”

20 dijeron a los hombres de Benjamín que todavía necesitaban mujeres: «Vayan y escóndanse en los viñedos,

20 They commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, “Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,

21 y cuando las jóvenes de Siló salgan para ir a sus danzas, corran y tómenlas y llévenselas para que sean sus mujeres.

21 and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

22 Y cuando sus padres y hermanos vengan a protestar, les diremos: “Por favor, sean comprensivos, y dejen que ellos tengan a sus hijas porque no hallamos suficientes esposas para ellos cuando destruimos Jabes Galaad, y ustedes no podían darles sus hijas a ellos sin ser culpables”».

22 It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, ‘Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”

23 Los hombres de Benjamín hicieron como se les dijo. Raptaron a las doncellas que tomaban parte en la fiesta y se las llevaron a su tierra. Luego reedificaron sus ciudades y vivieron en ellas.

23 The children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived in them.

24 Entonces el ejército de Israel se disolvió y regresó cada uno a su casa.

24 The children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they each went out from there to his own inheritance.

25 En aquel tiempo no había rey en Israel y cada hombre hacía lo que bien le parecía.

25 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
