1 Kings 11
1 King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].
El rey Salomón amó, además de la hija del Faraón, a muchas mujeres extranjeras, moabitas, ammonitas, idumeas, sidonias y heteas;
2 He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”
de las naciones de que había dicho Yahvé a los hijos de Israel: “No os lleguéis a ellas, ni ellas se lleguen a vosotros; pues seguramente desviarán vuestro corazón hacia los dioses de ellas.” A tales se unió Salomón con amor.
3 Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].
Tuvo setecientas mujeres reinas y trescientas concubinas; y sus mujeres eran causa de los extravíos de su corazón.
4 By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.
Pues siendo Salomón ya viejo, sus mujeres arrastraron su corazón hacia otros dioses; pues no era su corazón enteramente fiel a Yahvé su Dios, como lo fue el corazón de su padre David.
5 Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
Salomón dio culto a Astarté, diosa de los sidonios, y a Milcom, abominación de los ammonitas.
6 That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.
E hizo Salomón lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, y no siguió por entero en pos de Yahvé como su padre David.
7 On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
En aquel tiempo Salomón erigió en el monte que está frente a Jerusalén un santuario para Camos, abominación de Moab y para Moloc, abominación de los hijos de Ammón.
8 He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
Lo mismo hizo para todas sus mujeres de tierra extraña, que quemaban incienso y ofrecían sacrificios a sus dioses.
9 Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,
Entonces se irritó Yahvé contra Salomón, puesto que había apartado su corazón de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, que se le había aparecido dos veces,
y le había mandado particularmente que no se fuese tras otros dioses; mas él no guardó lo que Yahvé le había ordenado.
11 and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.
Dijo, pues, Yahvé a Salomón: “Por cuanto te has portado así y no has guardado mi alianza y mis leyes que Yo te había prescrito, arrancaré el reino de tu mano y lo daré a un siervo tuyo;
12 But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].
pero no lo haré en tus días por amor de tu padre David; sino que lo arrancaré de mano de tu hijo.
13 But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”
Ni tampoco le arrancaré el reino entero, sino que daré una tribu a tu hijo, por amor a David, mi siervo, y por amor de Jerusalén que Yo he escogido.”
14 Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
Suscitó Yahvé a Salomón un enemigo: Hadad, el idumeo, que era del linaje real de Edom.
15 What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.
Cuando David estuvo (en guerra) con Edom, y Joab, jefe del ejército, subió para enterrar los muertos y mató a todos los varones de Edom
—porque seis meses permaneció allí Joab con todo Israel, hasta exterminar a todos los varones de Edom—
17 Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.
huyó Hadad y con él algunos idumeos de entre los siervos de su padre y se retiró a Egipto, siendo Hadad todavía jovencito.
18 They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.
Saliendo de Madián pasaron a Farán, y tomando consigo algunos hombres de Farán, llegaron a Egipto, al Faraón, rey de Egipto, el cual le dio casa, le asignó sustento y le dio tierras.
19 The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
Hadad halló gracia a los ojos del Faraón, de tal manera que le dio por mujer la hermana de su misma mujer, la hermana de la reina Tafnes.
20 Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.
La hermana de Tafnes le dio un hijo, Genubat, al que destetó Tafnes en la casa del Faraón; y habitó Genubat en la casa del Faraón, en medio de los hijos del Faraón.
21 While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”
Cuando supo Hadad en Egipto que David se había dormido con sus padres, y que Joab, jefe del ejército, era muerto, dijo al Faraón: “Déjame ir para que vaya a mi tierra.”
22 But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].
El Faraón le contestó: “Pues, ¿qué te falta conmigo para que quieras irte a tu tierra?” Replicó él: “Nada me falta, pero de todos modos déjame partir.”
23 God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].
Suscitó Dios (a Salomón otro) adversario: Rezón, hijo de Eliadá, que había huido de su señor Hadadéser, rey de Soba.
24 Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.
Reuniendo consigo unos hombres vino a ser jefe de una banda, cuando David mató a los (arameos). Llegó a Damasco, donde se estableció, apoderándose del reino de Damasco.
25 All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.
Este fue enemigo de Israel todos los días de Salomón, además del mal que hizo Hadad, pues aborrecía a Israel y reinaba sobre la Siria.
26 Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.
Levantó la mano contra el rey también Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, efrateo de Seredá, cuya madre era una viuda que se llamaba Seruá. Era este siervo de Salomón.
27 This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].
Y he aquí la causa porque se sublevó contra el rey: Salomón estaba edificando el Milló, rellenando la hondonada que había en la ciudad de David, su padre.
28 Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.
Jeroboam era hombre valiente y capaz y viendo Salomón que este joven era muy activo en la obra, le puso sobre todos los trabajos de la casa de José.
29 One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,
Aconteció por aquel tiempo que saliendo Jeroboam de Jerusalén, le encontró en el camino el profeta Ahías silonita, que estaba envuelto en una capa nueva, y los dos estaban solos en el campo.
30 which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
Tomando entonces Ahías la capa nueva que tenía encima, la rasgó en doce pedazos,
31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].
y dijo a Jeroboam: “Toma para ti diez pedazos, porque así dice Yahvé, el Dios de Israel: He aquí que voy a arrancar el reino de mano de Salomón, y te daré a ti diez tribus;
32 Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].
una sola tribu quedará para él, a causa de mi siervo David, y a causa de Jerusalén, la ciudad que Yo he escogido entre todas las tribus de Israel;
33 I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.
por cuanto me han abandonado, y se han prosternado ante Astarté, diosa de los sidonios, ante Camos, dios de Moab, y ante Milcom, dios de los hijos de Ammón; y no han seguido mis caminos para hacer lo que es recto a mis ojos (ni han observado) mis leyes y mis preceptos como lo hizo David, su padre.
34 ‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.
Mas no quitaré de su mano ninguna parte del reino, puesto que le he constituido príncipe todos los días de su vida, por amor de mi siervo David, a quien escogí, porque observó mis leyes y mis mandamientos,
35 But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
sino que quitaré el reino de mano de su hijo, y te lo daré a ti, a saber, las diez tribus;
36 I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].
y a su hijo le daré una tribu, para que mi siervo David tenga una lámpara todos los días delante de Mí en Jerusalén, la ciudad que he escogido para Mí a fin de poner allí mi Nombre.
37 I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
A ti te tomaré, y tú reinarás sobre todo lo que deseare tu alma, y serás rey sobre Israel.
38 If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.
Si obedecieres todo cuanto Yo te mandare, andando en mis caminos, e hicieres lo que es recto a mis ojos, guardando mis leyes y mis mandamientos, como lo hizo mi siervo David, seré contigo y te edificaré una casa estable, como la edifiqué a David, y te daré Israel.
39 Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
Humillaré a la descendencia de David por esta causa, pero no para siempre.”
40 Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.
Procuraba Salomón dar muerte a Jeroboam, pero Jeroboam se escapó y fue a refugiarse en Egipto, cerca de Sesac, rey de Egipto, y permaneció en Egipto hasta la muerte de Salomón.
41 [A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.
Las demás cosas de Salomón, todo lo que hizo y su sabiduría, ¿no está escrito en el libro de los hechos de Salomón?
42 He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
El tiempo que reinó Salomón en Jerusalén, sobre todo Israel, fue de cuarenta años.
43 Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
Y Salomón se durmió con sus padres, y fue sepultado en la ciudad de David, su padre. En su lugar reinó su hijo Roboam.
