1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Y Nabot jezreelita tenía un viñedo en Jezreel, cerca de la casa de Acab, rey de Samaria.
2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near to my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or] if it seemeth good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Y Acab dijo a Nabot: Dame tu huerta para que la tenga para un huerto de plantas de olor, porque está cerca de mi casa; y permíteme darte un mejor huerto a cambio, o, si te parece bien, permíteme darte su valor en dinero.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee.
Pero Nabot dijo a Acab: Por el Señor, lejos de mí este darte la herencia de mis padres.
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased, because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Entonces Acab entró en su casa amargado y enojado porque Nabot el jezreelita le había dicho: No te daré la herencia de mis padres. Y se tiró en la cama boca abajo, y no comió.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
Pero Jezabel, su esposa, se acercó a él y le dijo: ¿Por qué tu espíritu es tan amargo que no tienes deseos de comer?
6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleaseth thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
Y él le dijo: Porque yo estaba hablando con Nabot de Jezreel, y le dije: Déjame tener tu viña por un precio o, si te complace, te daré Otra viña por ella: y él dijo: No te daré mi huerto.
7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Entonces Jezabel, su esposa, dijo: Ahora eres el gobernante de Israel Levántate, come, y alégrese tu corazón; Te daré el jardín de la vid de Nabot de Jezreel.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed [them] with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that [were] in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
Entonces ella envió una carta en nombre de Acab, estampada con su sello, a los hombres responsables y a los jefes que estaban en autoridad con Nabot.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
Y en la carta ella decía: “Que se proclame un ayuno público, y pongan a Nabot delante del pueblo;
10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And [then] carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
Y que dos falsos testigos vengan ante él y den testimonio de que ha estado maldiciendo a Dios y al rey. Entonces sáquenlo y hazlo apedrear para que muera.
11 And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent to them.
Así que los hombres responsables y los jefes que estaban en autoridad en su pueblo, hicieron lo que Jezabel había dicho en la carta que ella les envió.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
Dieron órdenes para un día de dolor público y pusieron a Nabot delante del pueblo.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, [even] against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Y los dos testigos malvados entraron y tomaron asiento delante de él y dieron testimonio contra Nabot, frente al pueblo, diciendo: Nabot ha estado maldiciendo a Dios y al rey. Luego lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo apedrearon hasta la muerte.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
Entonces enviaron un mensaje a Jezabel, diciendo: Nabot ha sido apedreado y está muerto.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Entonces Jezabel, al enterarse de que Nabot había sido apedreado y estaba muerto, le dijo a Acab: Levántate y toma como herencia el viñedo de Nabot Jezreelita, que no te daría por dinero, porque Nabot ya no vive sino que está muerto.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Acab, al enterarse de que Nabot había muerto, bajó al viñedo de Nabot, el Jezreelita, para tomarlo como herencia.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Entonces vino la palabra del Señor a Elías de Tisbe, diciendo:
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
Desciende a Acab, rey de Israel, en Samaria; Mira, él está en el huerto de Nabot de Jezreel, donde ha ido a tomarlo como su herencia.
19 And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
Dile: El Señor dice: ¿Has matado a un hombre y has tomado su herencia? Entonces dile: El Señor dice: En el lugar donde los perros han estado bebiendo la sangre de Nabot, tu sangre se convertirá en la bebida de los perros.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found [thee]: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
Y Acab dijo a Elías: ¿Te has encontrado cara a cara conmigo, oh mi enemigo? Y él dijo: He venido a ti porque te has entregado a hacer el mal a los ojos del Señor.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
Mira, te enviaré el mal y te acabaré por completo, cortando de Acab a todo hijo varón, al que está callado y al que sale libre en Israel;
22 And will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and made Israel to sin.
Haré que tu familia sea como la familia de Jeroboam, el hijo de Nebat, y como la familia de Baasa, el hijo de Ahías, porque me has hecho enojar, y has hecho que Israel haga el mal.
23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, the dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Y de Jezabel, el Señor dijo: Jezabel se convertirá en alimento para perros en la herencia de Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
Cualquier hombre de la familia de Acab que muera en la ciudad se convertirá en alimento para los perros; y el que muera en campo abierto será alimento para las aves del aire.
25 But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife instigated.
No había nadie como Acab, que se entregó a sí mismo para hacer el mal a los ojos del Señor, incitado por Jezabel su esposa.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Hizo algo muy desagradable al perseguir a dioses falsos, haciendo todas las cosas que hicieron, a quienes el Señor había echado de delante de los hijos de Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
Al oír estas palabras, Acab, con gran dolor, se humilló; se puso ropas ásperas y ayuno, durmiendo con la misma ropa y andando en silencio.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Entonces vino la palabra del Señor a Elías de Tisbe, diciendo:
29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: [but] in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
¿Ves cómo Acab se humilló ante mí? porque él se ha humillado ante mí, no enviaré el mal en su vida, pero en el tiempo de su hijo enviaré el mal a su familia.
