2 Chronicles 12
1 Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Cuando el reino de Roboam se había afianzado y fortalecido, él abandonó la Ley de Yavé y todo el pueblo con él.
2 Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,
Sucedió que en el año quinto del rey Roboam, por cuanto se rebeló contra Yavé, Sisac, rey de Egipto, subió contra Jerusalén
3 With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.
con 1.200 carruajes de guerra y 60.000 jinetes. El ejército de libios, suquienos y etíopes que iban con él desde Egipto era innumerable.
4 And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.
Tomó las ciudades fortificadas de Judá y llegó hasta Jerusalén.
5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.
Entonces el profeta Semaías fue a Roboam y a los jefes de Judá, que se reunieron en Jerusalén a causa de Sisac, y les dijo: Yavé dice: Ustedes me abandonaron. Yo también los abandono en manos de Sisac.
6 Then the chiefs of Israel and the king made themselves low and said, The Lord is upright.
Pero los jefes de Israel y el rey se humillaron y dijeron: Justo es Yavé.
7 And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Cuando Yavé vio que se humillaron, la Palabra de Yavé vino a Semaías: Se humillaron, Por tanto, no los destruiré, sino les daré algún escape. Mi ira no se derramará contra Jerusalén por medio de Sisac.
8 But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the lands.
Pero serán sus esclavos, para que conozcan la diferencia entre servirme a Mí y servir a los reinos de las naciones.
9 So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.
Sisac, rey de Egipto, subió contra Jerusalén y tomó los tesoros de la Casa de Yavé y la casa real. Se llevó todo y tomó los escudos de oro que hizo Salomón.
10 And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
El rey Roboam los reemplazó por escudos de bronce y los entregó a los jefes de la guardia que custodiaba la entrada al palacio real.
11 And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.
Cuando el rey iba a la Casa de Yavé, los guardias de la escolta iban y los llevaban, pero después los devolvían a la cámara de la guardia.
12 And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.
Cuando Roboam se humilló, la ira de Yavé se apartó de él, de manera que no lo destruyó por completo. También en Judá las cosas iban bien.
13 So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
El rey Roboam tenía 41 años cuando comenzó a reinar. Se fortaleció en Jerusalén, la ciudad que Yavé escogió de entre todas las tribus de Israel para poner allí su Nombre. Reinó 17 años. El nombre de su madre fue Naama amonita.
14 And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.
Hizo lo malo, porque no dispuso su corazón para buscar a Yavé.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
Los hechos de Roboam, primeros y últimos, ¿no están escritos en los rollos del profeta Semaías y del vidente Iddo, según el registro genealógico? Todo el tiempo hubo guerra entre Roboam y Jeroboam.
16 And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.
Roboam descansó con sus antepasados y fue sepultado en la Ciudad de David. Su hijo Abías reinó en su lugar.
