1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Después de estas cosas, Nabot de Jezreel tenía una viña que estaba en Jezreel, junto al palacio de Acab, rey de Samaria.
2 And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.
Acab habló a Nabot, diciendo: “Dame tu viña, para que la tenga como jardín de hierbas, porque está cerca de mi casa; y yo te daré por ella una viña mejor que ésta. O, si te parece bien, te daré su valor en dinero”.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto you.
Nabot dijo a Ajab: “¡Que Yahvé me prohíba dar la herencia de mis padres a ti!”
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Acab entró en su casa hosco y enojado por la palabra que le había dicho Nabot de Jezreel, pues había dicho: “No te daré la herencia de mis padres”. Se acostó en su cama, apartó su rostro y no quiso comer pan.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?
Pero Jezabel, su mujer, se acercó a él y le dijo: “¿Por qué está tu espíritu tan triste que no comes pan?”
6 And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.
Le dijo: “Porque hablé con Nabot de Jezreel y le dije: ‘Dame tu viña por dinero, o si te place, te daré otra viña por ella’. Él respondió: ‘No te daré mi viña’”.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Jezabel, su mujer, le dijo: “¿Ahora gobiernas el reino de Israel? Levántate, come pan y alegra tu corazón. Te daré la viña de Nabot el jezreelita”.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
Así que ella escribió cartas en nombre de Acab y las selló con su sello, y envió las cartas a los ancianos y a los nobles que estaban en su ciudad, que vivían con Nabot.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
Ella escribió en las cartas, diciendo: “Proclamen un ayuno y pongan a Nabot en alto entre el pueblo.
10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, You did blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
Poned delante de él a dos hombres malvados, y que testifiquen contra él diciendo: ‘¡Has maldecido a Dios y al rey! Luego llévenlo y mátenlo a pedradas”.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
Los hombres de su ciudad, los ancianos y los nobles que vivían en ella, hicieron lo que Jezabel les había ordenado en las cartas que les había escrito y enviado.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
Proclamaron un ayuno y pusieron a Nabot en lo alto del pueblo.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Los dos hombres, los malvados, entraron y se sentaron ante él. Los malvados testificaron contra él, contra Nabot, en presencia del pueblo, diciendo: “¡Nabot maldijo a Dios y al rey!” Entonces lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo mataron a pedradas.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
Luego enviaron a Jezabel diciendo: “Nabot ha sido apedreado y ha muerto”.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Cuando Jezabel se enteró de que Nabot había sido apedreado y estaba muerto, le dijo a Ajab: “Levántate y toma posesión de la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, que él se negó a darte por dinero; porque Nabot no está vivo, sino muerto.”
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Cuando Ajab se enteró de que Nabot había muerto, se levantó para bajar a la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, para tomar posesión de ella.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
La palabra de Yahvé llegó a Elías el tisbita, diciendo:
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess it.
“Levántate y baja a recibir a Ajab, rey de Israel, que vive en Samaria. He aquí que está en la viña de Nabot, a la que ha bajado para tomar posesión de ella.
19 And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have you killed, and also taken possession? And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.
Le hablarás diciendo: “El Señor dice: “¿Has matado y también tomado posesión? Le hablarás diciendo: ‘Dice el Señor: “En el lugar donde los perros lamieron la sangre de Nabot, los perros lamerán tu sangre, la tuya”’”.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found you: because you have sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
Acab dijo a Elías: “¿Me has encontrado, mi enemigo?” Él respondió: “Te he encontrado, porque te has vendido a hacer lo que es malo a los ojos de Yahvé.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will take away your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisses against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
He aquí que yo traigo el mal sobre ti, y te barreré por completo, y cortaré de Acab a todo el que orine contra una pared, y al que esté encerrado y al que quede suelto en Israel.
22 And will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith you have provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
Haré que tu casa sea como la casa de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y como la casa de Baasa, hijo de Ahías, por la provocación con que me has hecho enojar y has hecho pecar a Israel.”
23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Yahvé también habló de Jezabel, diciendo: “Los perros se comerán a Jezabel junto a la muralla de Jezreel.
24 Him that dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
Los perros se comerán al que muera de Ajab en la ciudad, y las aves del cielo se comerán al que muera en el campo.”
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Pero no hubo nadie como Ajab, que se vendió para hacer lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, a quien Jezabel, su esposa, incitó.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Hizo de manera muy abominable al seguir a los ídolos, conforme a todo lo que hicieron los amorreos, a quienes Yahvé expulsó ante los hijos de Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
Al oír estas palabras, Ajab se rasgó las vestiduras, se puso un saco en el cuerpo, ayunó, se acostó en un saco y anduvo abatido.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
La palabra de Yahvé vino a Elías el tisbita, diciendo:
29 See you how Ahab humbles himself before me? because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
“¿Ves cómo se humilla Ajab ante mí? Porque se humilla ante mí, no traeré el mal en sus días; pero traeré el mal sobre su casa en los días de su hijo.”
