1 Crónicas 11
1 Entonces todo Israel se reunió con David en Hebrón, diciendo: “He aquí que somos tu hueso y tu carne.
Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
2 En tiempos pasados, cuando Saúl era rey, fuiste tú quien sacó y trajo a Israel. El Señor, tu Dios, te dijo: ‘Tú serás el pastor de mi pueblo Israel, y tú serás el príncipe de mi pueblo Israel’”.
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Así que todos los ancianos de Israel vinieron a ver al rey a Hebrón, y David hizo un pacto con ellos en Hebrón ante Yahvé. Ungieron a David como rey de Israel, según la palabra de Yahvé por medio de Samuel.
So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
4 David y todo Israel se dirigieron a Jerusalén (también llamada Jebús), y los jebuseos, habitantes de la tierra, estaban allí.
David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
5 Los habitantes de Jebús dijeron a David: “¡No entrarás aquí!” Sin embargo, David tomó la fortaleza de Sión. La misma es la ciudad de David.
Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
6 David había dicho: “El que ataque primero a los jebuseos será jefe y capitán”. Joab, hijo de Sarvia, subió primero y fue nombrado jefe.
[What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
7 David vivía en la fortaleza; por eso la llamaban la ciudad de David.
[After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
8 Él edificó la ciudad por todas partes, desde Millo hasta los alrededores; y Joab reparó el resto de la ciudad.
David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
9 David crecía cada vez más, porque el Señor de los Ejércitos estaba con él.
David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
10 Estos son los principales de los valientes que tenía David, que se mostraron fuertes con él en su reino, junto con todo Israel, para hacerlo rey, según la palabra de Yahvé sobre Israel.
Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
11 Este es el número de los valientes que tenía David Jashobeam, hijo de un hakmonita, jefe de los treinta; alzó su lanza contra trescientos y los mató a la vez.
This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
12 Después de él estaba Eleazar, hijo de Dodo, ahohita, que era uno de los tres valientes.
Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
13 Estaba con David en Pasdammim, y allí se reunieron los filisteos para combatir, donde había un terreno lleno de cebada; y el pueblo huyó de delante de los filisteos.
[One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
14 Se pusieron en medio de la parcela, la defendieron y mataron a los filisteos; y el Señor los salvó con una gran victoria.
but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
15 Tres de los treinta jefes bajaron a la roca a David, a la cueva de Adulam; y el ejército de los filisteos estaba acampado en el valle de Refaim.
One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
16 David estaba entonces en la fortaleza, y la guarnición de los filisteos estaba en Belén en ese momento.
David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
17 David anhelaba y decía: “¡Oh, si alguien me diera de beber agua del pozo de Belén, que está junto a la puerta!”
[One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
18 Los tres atravesaron el ejército de los filisteos y sacaron agua del pozo de Belén que estaba junto a la puerta, la tomaron y se la llevaron a David; pero éste no quiso beberla, sino que la derramó a Yahvé,
So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
19 y dijo: “¡Mi Dios me prohíbe que haga esto! ¿He de beber la sangre de estos hombres que han puesto su vida en peligro?” Pues arriesgaron sus vidas para traerla. Por eso no quiso beberla. Los tres hombres poderosos hicieron estas cosas.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
20 Abisai, hermano de Joab, era el jefe de los tres, pues levantó su lanza contra trescientos y los mató, y tenía un nombre entre los tres.
Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
21 De los tres, él era más honorable que los dos, y fue nombrado su capitán; sin embargo, no fue incluido entre los tres.
So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
22 Benaía, hijo de Joiada, hijo de un valiente de Kabzeel, que había hecho obras poderosas, mató a los dos hijos de Ariel de Moab. También bajó y mató a un león en medio de un pozo en un día de nieve.
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
23 Mató a un egipcio, un hombre de gran estatura, de cinco codos de altura. En la mano del egipcio había una lanza como la de un telar; y él bajó hacia él con un bastón, arrancó la lanza de la mano del egipcio y lo mató con su propia lanza.
He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
24 Benaía, hijo de Joiada, hizo estas cosas y tuvo un nombre entre los tres valientes.
Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
25 Era más honorable que los treinta, pero no llegó a los tres; y David lo puso al frente de su guardia.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
