1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the 'Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire;
Cuando David y sus hombres llegaron a Siclag el tercer día, los amalecitas atacaron el sur y Siclag, y vencieron a Siclag y lo incendiaron;
2 And had taken captive the women that were therein, both great and small: they had not slain any one, but had led them off, and gone on their way.
E hicieron a las mujeres y a todos los que estaban allí, grandes y pequeños, prisioneros. No habían matado a ninguno de ellos, sino que se los habían llevado a todos.
3 When therefore David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
Y cuando David y sus hombres llegaron al pueblo, vieron que había sido incendiado, y que sus esposas y sus hijos e hijas habían sido hechos prisioneros.
4 And David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Entonces David y la gente que estaba con él se entregaron a llorar hasta que no pudieron seguir llorando.
5 And the two wives of David were also taken captive, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Y las dos esposas de David, Ahinoam de Jezreel y Abigail, la esposa de Nabal de Carmel, fueron hechas prisioneras.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was imbittered, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David fortified himself in the Lord his God.
Y David se turbó mucho; porque la gente hablaba de apedrearlo, porque sus corazones estaban amargados, todo el mundo estaba triste por sus hijos y sus hijas: pero David se fortaleció en el Señor su Dios.
7 And David said to Ebyathar the priest, the son of Achimelech, Bring hither, I pray thee, unto me the ephod. And Ebyathar brought the ephod near unto David.
Y David dijo al sacerdote Abiatar, hijo de Ahimelec: Ven aquí a mí con el efod. Y Abiatar llevó el efod a David.
8 And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop! shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou wilt surely overtake them, and certainly recover [all].
Entonces David, preguntando al Señor, dijo: ¿Voy a ir tras esta banda? ¿Podré sobrepasarlos? Y en respuesta, él dijo: Ve tras ellos, porque ciertamente los superarás y recuperarás todo.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came up to the brook Bessor, where those that were left behind stayed.
Entonces David fue, y sus seiscientos hombres fueron con él, y llegaron al arroyo Besor.
10 But David pursued on, he and four hundred men; and there stayed behind two hundred men, who were too fatigued to go over the brook Bessor.
Y David, con cuatrocientos hombres, continuó: pero doscientos de ellos fueron vencidos por el cansancio, y no pudieron cruzar el arroyo.
11 And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and took him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
Y en el campo vieron a un egipcio que le llevaron a David, y le dieron pan, y él comió, y le dieron agua para beber;
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins, and he ate, and then his spirit returned to him; for he had not eaten any bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
Y le dieron parte de un pastel de higos y algunas uvas secas; y después de la comida, su espíritu regresó a él, ya que no había comido ni bebido durante tres días y noches.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young Egyptian man, the servant to an 'Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because I fell sick, today three days ago.
Y le dijo David: ¿De quién eres y de dónde vienes? Y él dijo: Soy un joven de Egipto, siervo de un amalecita; y mi amo siguió sin mí porque tres días atrás me enfermé.
14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Kerethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and Ziklag did we burn with fire.
Hicimos un ataque en la parte sur del país de los cereteos, y en la tierra de Judá, y en el sur de Caleb; Y le prendimos fuego a Siclag.
15 And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not surrender me into the hand of my master, and then will I bring thee down to this troop.
Y David le dijo: ¿Me llevarás a esta banda? Y él dijo: Si me das tu juramento de que no me matarás ni me entregarás a mi amo, te llevaré con ellos.
16 And he brought him down; and behold, they were scattered over the face of all the country, eating and drinking, and dancing for joy, because of all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Y Cuando lo llevó, los vieron a todos, sentados por todos lados, festejando y bebiendo entre toda la cantidad de bienes que habían tomado de la tierra de los filisteos y de la tierra de Judá.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
Y David siguió luchando contra ellos desde la tarde hasta la tarde del día siguiente; y ninguno de ellos se escapó, sino solo cuatrocientos jóvenes que salieron en vuelo en camellos.
18 And David recovered all that the 'Amalekites had taken away; and his two wives also did David rescue.
Y David recuperó todo lo que los amalecitas habían tomado; y rescato a sus dos esposas.
19 And there was nothing missing to them, from small to great, as also sons and daughters, and spoil, down to every thing that they had taken from them: the whole did David bring back.
No hubo pérdida de nada, pequeño o grande, hijos o hijas o bienes o cualquier cosa que se hubieran llevado: David lo recuperó todo.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds: these they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
Y tomaron todos los rebaños y las manadas, y llevándolos delante de él, dijeron: Estos son los de David.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who had been too fatigued to follow after David, and whom they had left to remain at the brook Bessor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David came near to the people, and asked them after their well-being.
Y vino David a los doscientos hombres que, debido al cansancio, no habían ido con él, sino que esperaban en la corriente de Besor: y salieron a encontrarse con David y la gente que estaba con él; Y cuando se acercaron a ellos, dijeron: ¿Cómo estás?
22 Then exclaimed every wicked and worthless man, of those that had gone with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, and these they may lead away, and go.
Entonces los hombres perversos entre los que fueron con David dijeron: Porque no fueron con nosotros, no les daremos nada de los bienes que hemos recibido, sino solo a cada hombre. Su esposa e hijos, para que él los tome y se vaya.
23 Then said David, Ye must not do so, my brethren; since the Lord hath given us this, and guarded us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Entonces dijo David: No deben hacer esto, hermanos míos, después de lo que el Señor nos ha dado, que nos ha mantenido a salvo y ha dejado la banda que vino contra nosotros en nuestras manos.
24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as is the part of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the part of him that remained with the baggage: together must they share.
¿Quién te va a prestar atención en este asunto? porque se le dará una parte igual al que fue a la pelea y al que estaba esperando junto a los bienes, todos deben tener lo mismo.
25 And it happened from that day and forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel until this day.
Y así lo hizo una regla y una orden para Israel desde ese día hasta ahora.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold, here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord:
Cuando David llegó a Siclag, envió algunos de los bienes a los hombres responsables de Judá y a sus amigos, diciendo: Aquí hay una ofrenda para ti de los bienes de los que luchaban contra el Señor;
27 To those who were in Beth-el, and to those who were in south Ramoth, and to those who were in Yattir,
Envió regalos a los que estaban en Bet-el, en Ramá del Sur y en Jatir;
28 And to those who were in 'Aro'er, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa',
A los de Aroer y Estemoa.
29 And to those who were in Rachal, and to those who were in the cities of Yerach-meelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
En Racal y en los pueblos de Jerameel, y en los pueblos de los Ceneos;
30 And to those who were in Chormah, and to those who were in Kor-'ashan, and to those who were in 'Athach,
En Horma y en Corasan y en Atac;
31 And to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men had wandered about.
En Hebrón, y en todos los lugares donde habían vivido David y sus hombres.
