1 Chronicles 14
1 One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
Hiram, rey de Tiro, envió mensajeros a David con madera de cedro, artesanos y ebanistas para que le edificaran una casa.
2 [When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
David comprendió que Yavé lo estableció como rey de Israel, y que su reino fue exaltado por amor a su pueblo Israel.
3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
Entonces David tomó más mujeres en Jerusalén, y engendró más hijos e hijas.
4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Éstos son los nombres de los que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Samúa, Sobab, Natán, Salomón,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Ibhar, Elisúa, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Noga, Nefeg, Jafía,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beeliada y Elifelet.
8 When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against 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 The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
porque los filisteos llegaron y se desplegaron por el valle de Refaim.
10 David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
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 So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
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 [As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
Ellos dejaron allí sus ʼelohim, y David ordenó que fueran quemados.
13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
Los filisteos volvieron a extenderse por el valle.
14 So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of 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 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
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 So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
David hizo tal como ʼElohim le ordenó y derrotaron al ejército de los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta Gezer.
17 So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
La fama de David fue divulgada por todas aquellas tierras, y Yavé impuso el temor de David sobre todas las naciones.
