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.

E Hiram rey de Tiro envió embajadores a David, y madera de cedro, y albañiles, y carpinteros, que le edificasen 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.

Y entendiendo David que Jehová le había confirmado por rey sobre Israel, y que había ensalzado su reino sobre su pueblo Israel,

3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.

Tomó aun David mujeres en Jerusalem, y engendró David aun hijos e hijas.

4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

Y estos son los nombres de los que le nacieron en Jerusalem: Samua, Sobad, Natán, Salomón,

5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

Jebahar, Elisua, Elifalet,

6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

Noga, Nafeg, Jafías,

7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

Elisama, Baal-jada, y Elifalet.

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.

Y oyendo los Filisteos, que David era ungido por rey sobre todo Israel, subieron todos los Filisteos en busca de David. Y como 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.

Y vinieron los Filisteos, y extendiéronse por el valle de Rafaim.

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.”

Y David consultó a Dios, diciendo: ¿Subiré contra los Filisteos? ¿Entregarlos has en mi mano? Y Jehová le dijo: Sube, que yo los entregaré en tus manos.

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’].

Entonces subieron en Baal-perazim, y allí los hirió David. Y David dijo: Dios rompió mis enemigos por mi mano como se rompen las aguas. Por esto llamaron el nombre de 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.

Y dejaron allí sus dioses, y David dijo, que los quemasen a fuego.

13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.

Y volviendo los Filisteos 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 Dios, y Dios le dijo: No subas tras ellos; sino rodéalos, para venir a ellos por delante de los morales.

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.”

Y como oyeres venir un estruendo por las copas de los morales, sal luego a la batalla: porque Dios saldrá delante de ti, y herirá el campo 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].

Y David lo hizo como Dios le mandó; e hirieron el campo de los Filisteos, desde Gabaón hasta Gazera.

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.

Y el nombre de David fue divulgado por todas aquellas tierras; y puso Jehová el temor de David sobre todas las gentes.
