1 Cuando Israel llegó a la tierra de Jazer y Galaad, las tribus de Rubén y Gad (que tenían grandes rebaños de ovejas) notaron que era un país hermoso para el pastoreo,
1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock.
2 y se presentaron ante Moisés, Eleazar el sacerdote y los demás jefes de las tribus y dijeron:
2 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 ―El Señor ha usado a Israel para destruir a los pueblos de todo el país: Atarot, Dibón, Jazer, Nimrá, Hesbón, Elalé, Sebán, Nebo y Beón.
3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 Es una excelente tierra para el pastoreo, ideal para nuestros ganados.
4 the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
5 Permítasenos tener esta tierra como porción nuestra en vez de tener parte al otro lado del río Jordán.
5 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”
6 ―¿Quieren decir que desean establecerse aquí, mientras sus hermanos van al otro lado del Jordán y realizan la conquista? —preguntó Moisés—.
6 Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7 ¿Están tratando de desalentar al resto del pueblo para que no pase al otro lado, a la tierra que el Señor les ha dado?
7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them?
8 Esto es lo mismo que hicieron sus padres. Los envié desde Cades a explorar la tierra,
8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9 pero cuando acabaron la investigación y regresaron del valle de Escol, desalentaron al pueblo, y este no quiso entrar en la Tierra prometida.
9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them.
10 Entonces la ira del Señor se encendió en contra de ellos,
10 Yahweh’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,
11 y juró que de los que habían salido de Egipto, ninguno que tuviera más de veinte años entraría en la Tierra que había prometido a Abraham, Isaac y Jacob, porque se habían negado a hacer la voluntad del Señor.
11 ‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,
12 Las únicas excepciones fueron Caleb (hijo de Jefone el cenezeo), y Josué (hijo de Nun), porque de todo corazón siguieron al Señor.
12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed Yahweh completely.’
13 Entonces el Señor hizo que regresáramos y peregrináramos por el desierto durante cuarenta años hasta que toda la generación perversa hubo muerto.
13 Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in Yahweh’s sight was consumed.
14 »Y ahora ustedes, descendientes de tales pecadores, pretenden hacer lo mismo. De modo que la ira del Señor se encenderá contra Israel con mayor furor esta vez.
14 “Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel.
15 Si ustedes se apartan de Dios de esta manera, él hará que el pueblo esté más tiempo en el desierto, y ustedes serán los culpables de la destrucción de este pueblo y de haber traído el desastre sobre toda la nación.
15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.”
16 ―De ninguna manera —explicaron ellos—. Queremos construir rediles para nuestros ganados y ciudades para nuestros pequeños,
16 They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones;
17 pero nosotros iremos con nuestras armas adelante del resto del pueblo de Israel hasta que hayamos tomado posesión de la herencia que a ellos les corresponde. Pero primero necesitamos construir ciudades amuralladas para nuestras familias, para que ellos estén a salvo de los ataques de los habitantes de los alrededores.
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 No nos estableceremos aquí hasta que el pueblo de Israel haya recibido el total de su heredad.
18 We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance.
19 No queremos tierra en la otra orilla del Jordán. Más bien la queremos a este lado, en la ribera oriental.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.”
20 Entonces Moisés dijo: ―De acuerdo. Hagan lo que prometen y vayan a hacer la guerra,
20 Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war,
21 y crucen con sus soldados al otro lado del Jordán hasta que el Señor haya expulsado a todos los enemigos,
21 and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
22 y cuando la tierra finalmente haya sido sometida al Señor, quedarán libres del deber delante del Señor y delante del resto del pueblo de Israel, y la tierra de la orilla oriental será de ustedes ante el Señor.
22 and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to Yahweh and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before Yahweh.
23 »Pero si no cumplen lo que han prometido, pecarán contra el Señor, y pagarán las consecuencias.
23 “But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Vayan y edifiquen ciudades para sus familias y rediles para sus rebaños. Hagan todo lo que han dicho.
24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”
25 ―Seguiremos tus instrucciones al pie de la letra —respondieron los descendientes de Gad y Rubén—.
25 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26 Nuestros hijos, nuestras esposas, los rebaños y el ganado quedarán aquí en las ciudades de Galaad.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 Pero todos nosotros nos alistaremos para ir a pelear por el Señor como tú lo has dicho.
27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says.”
28 Entonces Moisés les dijo a Eleazar, a Josué y a los jefes de las tribus de Israel:
28 So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29 ―Si todos estos hombres de las tribus de Gad y Rubén que se han alistado para pelear las batallas del Señor van con ustedes al otro lado del Jordán, recibirán la tierra cuando termine la conquista.
29 Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30 Pero si se niegan a acompañarlos deben aceptar un terreno entre los demás en la tierra de Canaán.
30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
31 Las tribus de Gad y Rubén dijeron entonces: ―Haremos como el Señor ha ordenado.
31 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do.
32 Seguiremos al Señor armados y entraremos en la tierra de Canaán, pero nuestra tierra estará aquí, en este lado del Jordán.
32 We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”
33 Entonces Moisés asignó el territorio de Sijón rey de los amorreos y del rey Og de Basán, incluso sus ciudades, a las tribus de Gad, Rubén y Manasés (hijo de José).
33 Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan; the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
34 El pueblo de Gad construyó las siguientes ciudades: Dibón, Atarot, Aroer, Atarot Sofán, Jazer, Yogbea, Bet Nimrá y Bet Arán. Todas estas eran ciudades fortificadas y tenían rediles para las ovejas.
34 The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep.
37 Los hijos de Rubén edificaron las siguientes ciudades: Hesbón, Elealé, Quiriatayim,
37 The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Megón y Sibma. (Los israelitas después cambiaron los nombres de algunas de estas ciudades que habían conquistado y reconstruido).
38 Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built.
39 El clan de Maquir de la tribu de Manasés fue a Galaad y la conquistó, y expulsó a los amorreos que vivían allí.
39 The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.
40 Moisés, entonces, dio Galaad a los maquiritas.
40 Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.
41 Los hombres de Yaír, otro clan de la tribu de Manasés, ocuparon varias de las ciudades de Galaad; y le cambiaron el nombre a la región y le pusieron Javot Yaír.
41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.
42 Mientras tanto un hombre llamado Noba, fue y tomó a Quenat y sus pueblos, y los ocupó, y la región se llamó Noba.
42 Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Forty years also did the people wander in the wilderness. Forty days the waters of the flood lasted.
