Judges 9
1 And he went Abimelech [the] son of Jerub-Baal Shechem towards to [the] brothers of mother his and he spoke to them and to all [the] clan of [the] house of [the] father of mother his saying.
Abimelec, hijo de Jerobaal, fue a Siquem, a los hermanos de su madre, y habló con ellos y con toda la familia de la casa del padre de su madre, diciendo:
2 Speak please in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem what? [is] good for you ¿ to rule over you seventy man all [the] sons of Jerub-Baal or? to rule over you a man one and you will remember that [am] bone your and flesh your I.
“Por favor, habla en los oídos de todos los hombres de Siquem: “¿Os conviene que todos los hijos de Jerobaal, que son setenta personas, os gobiernen, o que uno solo os gobierne? Recordad también que yo soy vuestro hueso y vuestra carne”.
3 And they spoke [the] brothers of mother his on him in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem all the words these and it turned aside heart their after Abimelech for they said [is] brother our he.
Los hermanos de su madre hablaron de él a oídos de todos los hombres de Siquem todas estas palabras. Sus corazones se inclinaron a seguir a Abimelec, pues dijeron: “Es nuestro hermano”.
4 And they gave to him seventy silver (from [the] house of Baal-*L(abh)*) Berith and he hired for them Abimelech men unprincipled and undisciplined and they went after him.
Le dieron setenta piezas de plata de la casa de Baal Berit, con las que Abimelec contrató a compañeros vanos y temerarios que lo seguían.
5 And he went [the] house of father his Ophrah towards and he killed brothers his [the] sons of Jerub-Baal (seventy *L(abh)*) man on stone one and he was left Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal young for he hid himself.
Fue a la casa de su padre, en Ofra, y mató a sus hermanos los hijos de Jerobaal, que eran setenta personas, de una sola pedrada; pero quedó Jotam, el hijo menor de Jerobaal, porque se escondió.
6 And they gathered all [the] citizens of Shechem and all Beth Millo and they went and they made king Abimelech to king near [the] great tree set up which [was] in Shechem.
Todos los hombres de Siquem se reunieron con toda la casa de Milo, y fueron a hacer rey a Abimelec junto a la encina de la columna que estaba en Siquem.
7 And people told to Jotham and he went and he stood on [the] top of [the] mountain of Gerizim and he lifted up voice his and he called out and he said to them listen to me O citizens of Shechem so he may listen to you God.
Cuando se lo contaron a Jotam, éste fue y se puso en la cima del monte Gerizim, y alzando la voz, gritó y les dijo: “Escuchadme, hombres de Siquem, para que Dios os escuche.
8 Certainly they went the trees to anoint over them a king and they said to the olive tree (reign! *Q(k)*) over us.
Los árboles se dispusieron a ungir un rey sobre ellos. Le dijeron al olivo: ‘Reina sobre nosotros’.
9 And it said to them the olive tree ¿ will I cease fatness my which by me people honor gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
“Pero el olivo les dijo: ‘¿Debo dejar de producir mi aceite, con el que honran a Dios y a los hombres por medio de mí, e ir a agitarme sobre los árboles?
10 And they said the trees to the fig tree come you reign over us.
“Los árboles dijeron a la higuera: ‘Ven y reina sobre nosotros’.
11 And it said to them the fig tree ¿ will I cease sweetness my and fruit my good and will I go to sway over the trees.
“Pero la higuera les dijo: ‘¿Debo dejar mi dulzura y mi buen fruto e ir a agitarme sobre los árboles?
12 And they said the trees to the vine come you (reign *Q(k)*) over us.
“Los árboles dijeron a la vid: ‘Ven y reina sobre nosotros’.
13 And it said to them the vine ¿ will I cease new wine my which makes glad gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
“La vid les dijo: “¿Debo dejar mi vino nuevo, que alegra a Dios y a los hombres, e ir a agitarme sobre los árboles?
14 And they said all the trees to the thorn bush come you reign over us.
“Entonces todos los árboles dijeron a la zarza: ‘Ven y reina sobre nosotros’.
15 And it said the thorn bush to the trees if in truth you [are] anointing me to king over you come take refuge in shade my and if not let it go out a fire from the thorn bush and let it consume [the] cedars of Lebanon.
“La zarza dijo a los árboles: ‘Si en verdad me ungís como rey sobre vosotros, venid a refugiaros a mi sombra; y si no, que salga fuego de la zarza y devore los cedros del Líbano’.
16 And now if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted and you have made king Abimelech and if good you have done with Jerub-Baal and with house his and if according to [the] dealing of hands his you have done to him.
“Ahora bien, si has actuado con verdad y justicia, pues has hecho rey a Abimelec, y si has tratado bien a Jerobaal y a su casa, y has hecho con él lo que merecen sus manos
17 That he fought father my on you and he threw life his from in front and he delivered you from [the] hand of Midian.
(pues mi padre luchó por ti, arriesgó su vida y te libró de la mano de Madián
18 And you you have risen up on [the] house of father my this day and you have killed sons his seventy man on stone one and you have made king Abimelech [the] son of female slave his over [the] citizens of Shechem for [is] brother your he.
y tú te has levantado hoy contra la casa de mi padre y has matado a sus hijos, setenta personas, sobre una sola piedra, y has hecho a Abimelec, hijo de su sierva, rey sobre los hombres de Siquem, porque es tu hermano);
19 And if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted with Jerub-Baal and with house his the day this rejoice in Abimelech so he may rejoice also he in you.
si hoy has tratado con verdad y justicia a Jerobaal y a su casa, alégrate con Abimelec, y que él también se alegre contigo;
20 And if not let it go out a fire from Abimelech and let it consume [the] citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo and let it go out a fire from [the] citizens of Shechem and from Beth Millo and let it consume Abimelech.
pero si no, que salga fuego de Abimelec y devore a los hombres de Siquem y a la casa de Milo.”
21 And he fled Jotham and he ran away and he went Beer towards and he dwelt there [away] from before Abimelech brother his.
Jotam huyó y se fue a Beer y vivió allí, por temor a Abimelec, su hermano.
22 And he ruled Abimelech over Israel three years.
Abimelec fue príncipe de Israel durante tres años.
23 And he sent God a spirit evil between Abimelech and between [the] citizens of Shechem and they dealt treacherously [the] citizens of Shechem with Abimelech.
Entonces Dios envió un espíritu maligno entre Abimelec y los hombres de Siquem; y los hombres de Siquem trataron con traición a Abimelec,
24 To come [the] violence of seventy [the] sons of Jerub-Baal and blood their to put on Abimelech brother their who he killed them and on [the] citizens of Shechem who they strengthened hands his to kill brothers his.
para que llegara la violencia hecha a los setenta hijos de Jerobaal, y para que su sangre cayera sobre Abimelec, su hermano, que los mató, y sobre los hombres de Siquem que fortalecieron sus manos para matar a sus hermanos.
25 And they set to him [the] citizens of Shechem ambushers on [the] tops of the mountains and they robbed every [one] who he passed by on them on the road and it was told to Abimelech.
Los hombres de Siquem le tendieron una emboscada en las cimas de los montes, y robaron a todos los que pasaban por ese camino; y Abimelec fue informado de ello.
26 And he came Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his and they passed on in Shechem and they trusted in him [the] citizens of Shechem.
Gaal, hijo de Ebed, vino con sus hermanos y pasó a Siquem, y los hombres de Siquem se encomendaron a él.
27 And they went out the field and they gathered grapes vineyards their and they trod [them] and they made rejoicings and they went [the] house of god their and they ate and they drank and they cursed Abimelech.
Salieron al campo, cosecharon sus viñas, pisaron las uvas, celebraron y entraron en la casa de su dios, comieron y bebieron, y maldijeron a Abimelec.
28 And he said - Gaal [the] son of Ebed who? [is] Abimelech and who? [is] Shechem that we will serve him ¿ not [is he] [the] son of Jerub-Baal and [is] Zebul? deputy his serve [the] men of Hamor [the] father of Shechem and why? will we serve him we.
Gaal, hijo de Ebed, dijo: “¿Quién es Abimelec y quién es Siquem para que le sirvamos? ¿No es él hijo de Jerobaal? ¿No es Zebul su oficial? Sirvan a los hombres de Hamor, padre de Siquem, pero ¿por qué hemos de servirle a él?
29 And who? will he give the people this in hand my and I will remove Abimelech and he said of Abimelech make numerous army your and come out!
¡Ojalá este pueblo estuviera bajo mi mano! Entonces eliminaría a Abimelec”. Le dijo a Abimelec: “¡Aumenta tu ejército y sal!”
30 And he heard Zebul [the] official of the city [the] words of Gaal [the] son of Ebed and it burned anger his.
Cuando Zebul, el gobernante de la ciudad, oyó las palabras de Gaal hijo de Ebed, su ira ardió.
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech in treachery saying here! Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his [are] coming Shechem towards and here they [are] shutting up the city on you.
Envió mensajeros a Abimelec con astucia, diciendo: “He aquí que Gaal hijo de Ebed y sus hermanos han venido a Siquem, y he aquí que incitan a la ciudad contra ti.
32 And therefore arise night you and the people which [is] with you and lie in wait in the field.
Ahora, pues, sube de noche, tú y el pueblo que está contigo, y acecha en el campo.
33 And it will be in the morning when rises the sun you will rise early and you will make a raid on the city and there! he and the people which [is] with him [are] going out against you and you will do to him just as it will find hand your.
Por la mañana, en cuanto salga el sol, os levantaréis temprano y os lanzaréis contra la ciudad. He aquí que cuando él y el pueblo que está con él salgan contra vosotros, entonces podréis hacer con ellos lo que os parezca oportuno.”
34 And he arose Abimelech and all the people which [was] with him night and they lay in wait on Shechem four companies.
Abimelec se levantó de noche, con todo el pueblo que estaba con él, y acecharon a Siquem en cuatro grupos.
35 And he went out Gaal [the] son of Ebed and he stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and he arose Abimelech and the people which [was] with him from the ambush.
Gaal, hijo de Ebed, salió y se puso a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad. Abimelec se levantó, y el pueblo que estaba con él, de la emboscada.
36 And he saw Gaal the people and he said to Zebul there! a people [is] coming down from [the] tops of the mountains and he said to him Zebul [the] shadow of the mountains you [are] seeing like men.
Cuando Gaal vio a la gente, dijo a Zebul: “He aquí que la gente baja de las cimas de los montes”. Zebul le dijo: “Ves las sombras de las montañas como si fueran hombres”.
37 And he repeated again Gaal to speak and he said there! a people [are] coming down from with [the] center of the land and a company one [is] coming from [the] direction of [the] great tree of [the] soothsayer.
Gaal volvió a hablar y dijo: “He aquí que la gente desciende por el centro de la tierra, y una compañía viene por el camino de la encina de Meonenim”.
38 And he said to him Zebul where? then [is] mouth your O [you] who you said who? [is] Abimelech that we will serve him ¿ not [is] this the people which you rejected it go out please now and fight against him.
Entonces Zebul le dijo: “Ahora, ¿dónde está tu boca, que has dicho: “¿Quién es Abimelec, para que le sirvamos?”? ¿No es éste el pueblo que has despreciado? Por favor, sal ahora y pelea con ellos”.
39 And he went out Gaal before [the] citizens of Shechem and he fought against Abimelech.
Gaal salió delante de los hombres de Siquem y luchó con Abimelec.
40 And he pursued him Abimelech and he fled from before him and they fell [those] fatally wounded many to [the] entrance of the gate.
Abimelec lo persiguió, y él huyó delante de él, y muchos cayeron heridos hasta la entrada de la puerta.
41 And he dwelt Abimelech at Arumah and he drove out Zebul Gaal and brothers his from dwelling at Shechem.
Abimelec vivía en Arumá; y Zebul expulsó a Gaal y a sus hermanos, para que no habitasen en Siquem.
42 And it was from [the] next day and it went out the people the field and people told to Abimelech.
Al día siguiente, el pueblo salió al campo, y se lo comunicaron a Abimelec.
43 And he took the people and he divided them into three companies and he lay in wait in the field and he saw and there! the people [was] going out from the city and he rose up on them and he struck down them.
Él tomó al pueblo y lo dividió en tres grupos, y acechó en el campo; y miró, y he aquí que el pueblo salía de la ciudad. Entonces se levantó contra ellos y los golpeó.
44 And Abimelech and the companies which [were] with him they made a raid and they stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and [the] two the companies they made a raid on all [those] who [were] in the field and they struck down them.
Abimelec y las compañías que estaban con él se adelantaron y se pusieron a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad; y las dos compañías se abalanzaron sobre todos los que estaban en el campo y los hirieron.
45 And Abimelech [was] fighting against the city all the day that and he captured the city and the people which [was] in it he killed and he pulled down the city and he sowed it salt.
Abimelec luchó contra la ciudad todo ese día, y tomó la ciudad y mató a la gente que estaba en ella. Derribó la ciudad y la sembró de sal.
46 And they heard all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem and they went into [the] underground chamber of [the] house of El-Berith.
Cuando todos los hombres de la torre de Siquem se enteraron, entraron en la fortaleza de la casa de Elberit.
47 And it was told to Abimelech that they had gathered together all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem.
Se le informó a Abimelec que todos los hombres de la torre de Siquem estaban reunidos.
48 And he went up Abimelech [the] mountain of Zalmon he and all the people which [was] with him and he took Abimelech the axes in hand his and he cut off a branch of wood and he lifted up it and he put [it] on shoulder his and he said to the people which [was] with him whatever you have seen I have done hurry do like me.
Abimelec subió al monte Zalmón, él y todo el pueblo que estaba con él; y Abimelec tomó un hacha en su mano, cortó una rama de los árboles, la subió y se la puso al hombro. Luego dijo al pueblo que estaba con él: “¡Lo que me habéis visto hacer, daos prisa y haced lo que yo he hecho!”
49 And they cut off also all the people everyone own branch his and they went after Abimelech and they put [them] over the underground chamber and they set on fire over them the underground chamber with fire and they died also all [the] men of [the] tower of Shechem about a thousand man and woman.
Asimismo, todo el pueblo cortó cada uno su rama, siguió a Abimelec y las puso en la base de la fortaleza, y le prendió fuego a ésta, de modo que también murió toda la gente de la torre de Siquem, unos mil hombres y mujeres.
50 And he went Abimelech to Thebez and he encamped at Thebez and he captured it.
Entonces Abimelec fue a Tebez y acampó contra Tebez, y la tomó.
51 And a tower of strength it was in [the] middle of the city and they fled there towards all the men and the women and all [the] citizens of the city and they shut [the] door behind them and they went up on [the] roof of the tower.
Pero había una torre fuerte dentro de la ciudad, y todos los hombres y mujeres de la ciudad huyeron allí, se encerraron y subieron al techo de la torre.
52 And he came Abimelech to the tower and he fought against it and he drew near to [the] entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.
Abimelec llegó a la torre y luchó contra ella, y se acercó a la puerta de la torre para quemarla con fuego.
53 And she threw a woman one a mill-stone of an upper mill-stone on [the] head of Abimelech and it crushed skull his.
Una mujer arrojó una piedra de molino sobre la cabeza de Abimelec y le rompió el cráneo.
54 And he called quickly to the young man - [who] carried armor his and he said to him draw sword your and kill me lest people should say of me a woman she killed him and he pierced through him young man his and he died.
Entonces llamó apresuradamente al joven, su portador de armadura, y le dijo: “Saca tu espada y mátame, para que no digan de mí: “Una mujer lo mató”. El joven lo atravesó, y murió”.
55 And they saw [the] man of Israel that he was dead Abimelech and they went everyone to own place his.
Cuando los hombres de Israel vieron que Abimelec había muerto, se fueron cada uno a su lugar.
56 And he repaid God [the] evil of Abimelech which he had done to father his by killing seventy brothers his.
Así pagó Dios la maldad de Abimelec, que hizo a su padre matando a sus setenta hermanos;
57 And all [the] evil of [the] men of Shechem he repaid God on head their and it came to them [the] curse of Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal.
y Dios pagó toda la maldad de los hombres de Siquem sobre sus cabezas; y la maldición de Jotam hijo de Jerobaal cayó sobre ellos.
