1 Chronicles 14
1 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.
Hiram, rey de Tiro, envió mensajeros a David con madera de cedro, artesanos y ebanistas para que le edificaran una casa.
2 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.
David comprendió que Yavé lo estableció como rey de Israel, y que su reino fue exaltado por amor a su pueblo Israel.
3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
Entonces David tomó más mujeres en Jerusalén, y engendró más hijos e hijas.
4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
Éstos son los nombres de los que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Samúa, Sobab, Natán, Salomón,
5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
Ibhar, Elisúa, Elpelet,
6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Noga, Nefeg, Jafía,
7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beeliada y Elifelet.
8 Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.
Al oír los filisteos que David fue ungido rey de todo Israel, todos los filisteos subieron en busca de David. Cuando David lo oyó, salió contra ellos,
9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
porque los filisteos llegaron y se desplegaron por el valle de Refaim.
10 And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”
Entonces David consultó a ʼElohim: ¿Iré contra los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mi mano? Yavé le respondió: Vé, porque Yo los entregaré en tu mano.
11 And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
Subieron a Baal-perazim, y allí David los derrotó. Luego David dijo: ¡ʼElohim irrumpió contra mis enemigos por mi mano, como corriente impetuosa! Por esto llamaron aquel lugar Baal-perazim.
12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
Ellos dejaron allí sus ʼelohim, y David ordenó que fueran quemados.
13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
Los filisteos volvieron a extenderse por el valle.
14 And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.
David volvió a consultar a ʼElohim, y ʼElohim le dijo: No subas tras ellos, sino rodéalos por detrás y sal a ellos frente a las balsameras.
15 And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”
Cuando escuches el ruido de marcha en las copas de las balsameras, sal enseguida a la batalla, porque ʼElohim saldrá delante de ti para derrotar al ejército de los filisteos.
16 Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.
David hizo tal como ʼElohim le ordenó y derrotaron al ejército de los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta Gezer.
17 And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.
La fama de David fue divulgada por todas aquellas tierras, y Yavé impuso el temor de David sobre todas las naciones.
