1 Las siguientes son las naciones que el Señor dejó y utilizó para poner a prueba a todos aquellos israelitas que no habían conocido lo que era formar parte de ninguna de las guerras en Canaán.
1 Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to test Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 (Lo hizo para que las generaciones posteriores de Israel, especialmente a los que no la habían experimentado antes, aprendieran de la guerre).
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before:
3 Son: los cinco jefes de los filisteos, todos los cananeos, los sidonios y los heveos que viven en las montañas del Líbano, desde el monte Baal-hermón hasta Lebo-jamat.
3 the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
4 Fueron dejados allí para que probar a los israelitas, comprobar si éstos guardarían los mandamientos del Señor que él había dado a sus antepasados por medio de Moisés.
4 They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to Yahweh’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
5 Vivían entre cananeos, hititas, amorreos, ferezeos, heveos y jebuseos.
5 The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
6 Los israelitas se mezclaron con ellos, se casaron con sus hijas, dieron sus propias hijas a sus hijos y adoraron a sus dioses.
6 They took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
7 Los israelitas hicieron lo que era malo a los ojos del Señor. Ignoraron al Señor, su Dios, y adoraron las imágenes de los baales y de los ashires.
7 The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
8 El Señor se enojó con Israel, y los vendió a Cusán-Risatayín, rey de Harán Najarayín. Los israelitas estuvieron sometidos a Cusán-Risatayín durante ocho años.
8 Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
9 Pero cuando los israelitas clamaron al Señor para que los ayudara, él proveyó a alguien para rescatarlos, Otoniel, hijo de Quenaz, hermano menor de Caleb, y él los salvó.
9 When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 El Espíritu del Señor vino sobre él, y se convirtió en juez de Israel. Fue a la guerra con Cusán-Risatayín, rey de Harán, y el Señor entregó al rey a Otoniel, que salió victorioso.
10 Yahweh’s Spirit came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. His hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11 Como resultado, el país estuvo en paz durante cuarenta años, hasta que murió Otoniel, hijo de Cenaz.
11 The land had rest forty years, then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 Pero una vez más los israelitas hicieron lo que era malo a los ojos del Señor, y por eso el Señor le dio poder a Eglón, rey de Moab, para que conquistara a Israel.
12 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
13 Eglón hizo que los amonitas y los amalecitas se unieran a él, y luego atacó y derrotó a Israel, tomando posesión de la Ciudad de las Palmas.
13 He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 Los israelitas estuvieron sometidos a Eglón, rey de Moab, durante dieciocho años.
14 The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Nuevamente los israelitas clamaron al Señor para que los ayudara, y él les proporcionó a alguien que los rescatara, Aod, hijo de Guerá el benjamita, un hombre zurdo. Los israelitas lo enviaron a pagar el tributo a Eglón, rey de Moab.
15 But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
16 Aod se había hecho una espada de doble filo de un codo de largo, y se la ató al muslo derecho debajo de su ropa.
16 Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17 Llegó y presentó el tributo a Eglón, rey de Moab, que era un hombre muy gordo.
17 He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 Después de entregar el tributo, envió a casa a los que habían ayudado a llevarlo.
18 When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
19 Pero cuando llegó a los ídolos de piedra cerca de Gilgal, se volvió. Fue a ver a Eglón y le dijo: “Su Majestad, tengo un mensaje secreto para usted”. El rey les dijo a sus asistentes: “¡Silencio!” y todos se fueron.
19 But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him left him.
20 Aod se acercó entonces a donde Eglón estaba sentado solo en su fresca habitación del piso superior, y le dijo: “Tengo un mensaje de Dios para usted”. Cuando el rey se levantó de su asiento,
20 Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God to you.” He arose out of his seat.
21 Aod tomó su espada con la mano izquierda desde su muslo derecho y la clavó en el vientre de Eglón.
21 Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
22 La empuñadura entró con la hoja y la grasa se cerró sobre ella. Entonces Aod no sacó la espada, y el rey defecó.
22 The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
23 Entonces Aod cerró y echó el cerrojo a las puertas, y escapó por la letrina.
23 Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
24 Cuando se hubo marchado, llegaron los criados y vieron que las puertas de la habitación estaban cerradas con llave. “Debe estar usando la letrina”, concluyeron.
24 After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said, “Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”
25 Así que esperaron hasta que no pudieron aguantar más, y como todavía no había abierto las puertas de la habitación, fueron a buscar la llave y abrieron las puertas. Allí estaba su señor, muerto en el suelo.
25 They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor.
26 Mientras los sirvientes se demoraban en actuar, Aod escapó, pasando los ídolos de piedra y dirigiéndose a Seirat.
26 Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah.
27 Al llegar allí, hizo sonar una trompeta en la región montañosa de Efraín, y los israelitas se le unieron. Bajaron de las colinas, con Aod a la cabeza.
27 When he had come, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he led them.
28 Él les dijo: “Síganme, porque el Señor les ha entregado a Moab, su enemigo”. Así que lo siguieron hacia abajo y se apoderaron de los vados del Jordán que llevaban a Moab. No dejaron que nadie cruzara.
28 He said to them, “Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any man to pass over.
29 Luego atacaron a los moabitas y mataron a unos 10.000 de sus mejores y más fuertes combatientes. Ni uno solo escapó.
29 They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped.
30 Ese día Moab fue conquistado y sometido a Israel, y el país estuvo en paz durante ochenta años.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years.
31 Después de Aod fue Samgar, hijo de Anat, quien mató a seiscientos filisteos con un carro de bueyes. También rescató a Israel.
31 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.
