Kings III 21
1 And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
Pasados estos negocios, aconteció que Nabot de Jezreel tenía en Jezreel una viña junto al palacio de Acab rey de Samaria.
2 And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
Y Acab habló a Nabot, diciendo: Dame tu viña para un huerto de legumbres, porque está cercana, junto a mi casa, y yo te daré por ella otra viña mejor que ésta; o si mejor te pareciere, te pagaré su valor en dinero.
3 And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
Y Nabot respondió a Acab: Guárdeme el SEÑOR de que yo te dé a ti la heredad de mis padres.
4 And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
Y vino Acab a su casa triste y enojado, por la palabra que Nabot de Jezreel le había respondido, diciendo: No te daré la heredad de mis padres. Y se acostó en su cama, y volvió su rostro, y no comió pan.
5 and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
Y vino a él su mujer Jezabel, y le dijo: ¿Por qué está tan triste tu espíritu, y no comes pan?
6 smote each one the man next to him; and each one a second time smote the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
Y él respondió: Porque hablé con Nabot de Jezreel, y le dije que me diera su viña por dinero, o que, si más quería, le daría otra viña por ella; y él respondió: Yo no te daré mi viña.
7 And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and smote [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
Y su mujer Jezabel le dijo: ¿Eres tú ahora rey sobre Israel? Levántate, y come pan, y alégrate; yo te daré la viña de Nabot de Jezreel.
8 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen thyself, and observe, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against thee.
Entonces ella escribió cartas en nombre de Acab, y las selló con su anillo y las envió a los ancianos y a los principales que moraban en su ciudad con Nabot.
9 And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
Y las cartas que escribió decían así: Proclamad ayuno, y poned a Nabot a la cabecera del pueblo;
10 And do thou this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
y poned dos hombres perversos delante de él, que atestigüen contra él, y digan: Tú has blasfemado a Dios y al rey. Y entonces sacadlo, y apedreadlo, para que muera.
11 And we will give thee [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
Y los de su ciudad, los ancianos y los principales que moraban en su ciudad, lo hicieron como Jezabel les mandó, conforme a lo escrito en las cartas que ella les había enviado.
12 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
Y promulgaron ayuno, y asentaron a Nabot a la cabecera del pueblo.
13 And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
Vinieron entonces dos hombres perversos, y se sentaron delante de él; y aquellos hombres de Belial atestiguaron contra Nabot delante del pueblo, diciendo: Nabot ha blasfemado a Dios y al rey. Y lo sacaron fuera de la ciudad, y lo apedrearon con piedras, y murió.
14 And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into thy hand, and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord.
Después enviaron a decir a Jezabel: Nabot ha sido apedreado y ha muerto.
15 And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel smote Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Y cuando Jezabel oyó que Nabot había sido apedreado y muerto, dijo a Acab: Levántate y posee la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, que no te la quiso dar por dinero; porque Nabot no vive, sino que es muerto.
16 And the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
Y oyendo Acab que Nabot era muerto, se levantó para descender a la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, para tomar posesión de ella.
17 And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
Entonces vino palabra del SEÑOR a Elías tisbita, diciendo:
18 So they girt sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Thy servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray thee. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
Levántate, desciende a encontrarte con Acab rey de Israel, que está en Samaria; he aquí él está en la viña de Nabot, a la cual ha descendido para tomar posesión de ella.
19 And the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Thy brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go ye in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
Y le hablarás, diciendo: Así dijo el SEÑOR: ¿No mataste y también has poseído? Y tornarás a hablarle, diciendo: Así dijo el SEÑOR: En el mismo lugar donde lamieron los perros la sangre de Nabot, los perros lamerán también tu sangre, la tuya misma.
20 And he said to him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore to thee; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let thee go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
Y Acab dijo a Elías: ¿Me has hallado, enemigo mío? Y él respondió: Te he encontrado, porque te has vendido a mal hacer delante del SEÑOR,
21 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray, And the man would not smite him.
he aquí yo traigo mal sobre ti, y barreré tu posteridad, y talaré de Acab todo meante a la pared, al guardado y al quedado en Israel.
22 And he said to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as thou departest from me, a lion shall smite thee: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and smote him.
Y yo pondré tu casa como la casa de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, y como la casa de Baasa hijo de Ahías; por la provocación con que me provocaste a ira, y con que has hecho pecar a Israel.
23 And he finds another man, and says, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded [him].
De Jezabel también ha hablado el SEÑOR, diciendo: Los perros comerán a Jezabel en la barbacana de Jezreel.
24 And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
El que de Acab fuere muerto en la ciudad, los perros le comerán; y el que fuere muerto en el campo, lo comerán las aves del cielo.
25 And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Thy servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then thy life shall go for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
(A la verdad ninguno fue como Acab, que se vendió a hacer lo malo delante de los ojos del SEÑOR; porque Jezabel su mujer lo incitaba.
26 And it came to pass, that thy servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, thou hast also destroyed snares [set] for me.
El fue en gran manera abominable, caminando en pos de los ídolos, conforme a todo lo que hicieron los amorreos, a los cuales lanzó el SEÑOR delante de los hijos de Israel).
27 And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
Y acaeció cuando Acab oyó estas palabras, que rasgó sus vestidos, y puso cilicio sobre su carne, y ayunó, y durmió en cilicio, y anduvo humillado.
28 And he said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast suffered to escape out of thine hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
Entonces vino palabra del SEÑOR a Elías tisbita, diciendo:
29 And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
¿No has visto como Acab se ha humillado delante de mí? Pues por cuanto se ha humillado delante de mí, no traeré el mal en sus días; en los días de su hijo traeré el mal sobre su casa.
