1 Reyes 11

1 El rey Salomón amó a muchas mujeres extranjeras, junto con la hija del faraón: mujeres moabitas, amonitas, edomitas, sidonianas e hititas,

But king Solomon loved many foreign women, including the daughter of Pharaoh, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Idumea, and of Sidon, and of the Hittites.

2 de las naciones sobre las que Yahvé dijo a los hijos de Israel: “No iréis entre ellas, ni ellas vendrán entre vosotros, porque ciertamente desviarán vuestro corazón tras sus dioses.” Salomón se unió a ellas por amor.

These were of the nations about whom the Lord said to the sons of Israel: “You shall not enter to them, and none of them shall enter to anyone of yours. For they will most certainly turn aside your hearts, so that you follow their gods.” And yet, to these Solomon was joined with a greatly enflamed love.

3 Tuvo setecientas esposas, princesas y trescientas concubinas. Sus esposas desviaron su corazón.

And for him, there were seven hundred wives, as if they were queens, and three hundred concubines. And the women turned aside his heart.

4 Cuando Salomón envejeció, sus esposas desviaron su corazón en pos de otros dioses, y su corazón no era perfecto con Yahvé, su Dios, como lo era el corazón de David, su padre.

And when now he was old, his heart was perverted by the women, so that he followed strange gods. And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

5 Porque Salomón siguió a Astoret, diosa de los sidonios, y a Milcom, la abominación de los amonitas.

For Solomon worshipped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites.

6 Salomón hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, y no siguió plenamente a Yahvé, como lo hizo su padre David.

And Solomon did what was not pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And he did not continue to follow the Lord, as his father David did.

7 Entonces Salomón edificó un lugar alto para Quemos, la abominación de Moab, en el monte que está frente a Jerusalén, y para Moloc, la abominación de los hijos de Amón.

Then Solomon built a shrine for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mount that is opposite Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the sons of Ammon.

8 Así hizo para todas sus mujeres extranjeras, que quemaban incienso y sacrificaban a sus dioses.

And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.

9 Yahvé se enojó con Salomón, porque su corazón se apartó de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, que se le había aparecido dos veces,

And so, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10 y le había ordenado respecto a esto, que no fuera en pos de otros dioses; pero él no cumplió lo que Yahvé le había ordenado.

and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.

11 Por lo tanto, Yahvé dijo a Salomón: “Por cuanto has hecho esto, y no has guardado mi pacto y mis estatutos que te he ordenado, ciertamente te arrancaré el reino y se lo daré a tu siervo.

And so, the Lord said to Solomon: “Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.

12 Sin embargo, no lo haré en tus días, por amor a David tu padre, sino que lo arrancaré de la mano de tu hijo.

Yet truly, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.

13 Sin embargo, no arrancaré todo el reino, sino que daré una tribu a tu hijo, por amor a David, mi siervo, y por amor a Jerusalén, que yo he elegido.”

Neither will I take away the whole kingdom. Instead, I will grant one tribe to your son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

14 El Señor le levantó un adversario a Salomón: Hadad el edomita. Era uno de los descendientes del rey en Edom.

Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad of Idumea, from an offspring of the king who was in Idumea.

15 Porque cuando David estaba en Edom, y Joab, el capitán del ejército, había subido a enterrar a los muertos y había matado a todos los varones de Edom

For when David was in Idumea, Joab, the leader of the military, had ascended to bury those who had been killed, and he had killed every male in Idumea.

16 (pues Joab y todo Israel permanecieron allí seis meses, hasta que hubo matado a todos los varones de Edom),

And Joab remained in that place for six months, with all of Israel, until he had put to death every male in Idumea.

17 Hadad huyó, él y algunos edomitas de los siervos de su padre con él, para ir a Egipto, cuando Hadad era todavía un niño.

Then Hadad fled, he and some men of Idumea from among the servants of his father with him, so that he might enter into Egypt. But Hadad was then a little boy.

18 Se levantaron de Madián y llegaron a Parán; tomaron hombres con ellos de Parán y llegaron a Egipto, al Faraón, rey de Egipto, quien le dio una casa, le asignó alimentos y le dio tierras.

And when they had risen up from Midian, they went into Paran, and they took with them some men from Paran. And they went into Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he gave him a house, and he appointed food for him, and he assigned land to him.

19 Hadad halló gran favor a los ojos del faraón, de modo que le dio como esposa a la hermana de su propia esposa, la hermana de la reina Tahpenes.

And Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so much so that he gave to him as wife, the sister of his own wife, queen Tahpenes.

20 La hermana de Tahpenes le dio a luz a su hijo Genubat, a quien Tahpenes destetó en la casa del faraón; y Genubat estaba en la casa del faraón entre los hijos del faraón.

And the sister of Tahpenes bore to him a son, Genubath. And Tahpenes raised him in the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was living with Pharaoh and his sons.

21 Cuando Hadad oyó en Egipto que David dormía con sus padres y que Joab, el capitán del ejército, había muerto, dijo a Faraón: “Déjame ir a mi país.”

And when Hadad had heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the leader of the military, had died, he said to Pharaoh, “Release me, so that I may go to my own land.”

22 Entonces el Faraón le dijo: “¿Pero qué te ha faltado a ti conmigo, que buscas ir a tu país?” Él respondió: “Nada, sin embargo, sólo déjame partir”.

And Pharaoh said to him, “But what is lacking to you with me, so that you would seek to go to your own land?” But he responded: “Nothing. Yet I beg you that you may release me.”

23 Dios le levantó un adversario, Rezón hijo de Eliada, que había huido de su señor, Hadadézer, rey de Soba.

Also, God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadad-Ezer, the king of Zobah.

24 Él reunió hombres para sí, y llegó a ser capitán de una tropa, cuando David los mató de Soba. Se fue a Damasco y vivió allí, y reinó en Damasco.

And he gathered together men against him. And when David put those of Zobah to death, he became a leader of robbers. And they went away to Damascus, and they lived there. And they appointed him to be king of Damascus.

25 Fue un adversario de Israel durante todos los días de Salomón, además de la maldad de Hadad. Aborreció a Israel y reinó sobre Siria.

And he was an adversary to Israel during all the days of Solomon. And such is the evil of Hadad and of his hatred against Israel. And he reigned in Syria.

26 Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, efraimita de Zereda, siervo de Salomón, cuya madre se llamaba Zerúa, viuda, también levantó su mano contra el rey.

Also, there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Zeruah, a widowed woman. He lifted up his hand against the king.

27 Esta fue la razón por la que levantó su mano contra el rey: Salomón edificó Millo y reparó la brecha de la ciudad de su padre David.

And this is the reason for his rebellion against him: that Solomon built up Millo, and that he filled in a deep hole in the city of David, his father.

28 Aquel hombre, Jeroboam, era un hombre de gran valor, y Salomón vio que el joven era laborioso, y lo puso a cargo de todo el trabajo de la casa de José.

Now Jeroboam was a valiant and powerful man. And perceiving the young man to be ingenious and industrious, Solomon appointed him as first ruler over the tributes of the entire house of Joseph.

29 En aquel tiempo, cuando Jeroboam salió de Jerusalén, el profeta Ahías, el silonita, lo encontró en el camino. Ajías se había vestido con un traje nuevo, y los dos estaban solos en el campo.

And it happened, in that time, that Jeroboam departed from Jerusalem. And the prophet Ahijah, the Shilonite, wearing a new cloak, found him on the way. And the two were alone in the field.

30 Ajías tomó el vestido nuevo que llevaba puesto y lo rompió en doce pedazos.

And taking his new cloak, with which he was covered, Ahijah tore it into twelve parts.

31 Le dijo a Jeroboam: “Toma diez pedazos porque Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, dice: ‘He aquí que yo arranco el reino de la mano de Salomón y te daré diez tribus

And he said to Jeroboam: “Take ten pieces for yourself. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes.

32 (pero él tendrá una tribu, por amor a mi siervo David y por amor a Jerusalén, la ciudad que he elegido de entre todas las tribus de Israel),

Yet one tribe shall remain with him, for the sake of my servant, David, as well as Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

33 porque me han abandonado y han adorado a Astoret, diosa de los sidonios, a Quemos, dios de Moab, y a Milcom, dios de los hijos de Amón. No han andado en mis caminos, para hacer lo que es recto a mis ojos, y para guardar mis estatutos y mis ordenanzas, como hizo David su padre.

For he has abandoned me, and he has adored Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the sons of Ammon. And he has not walked in my ways, so that he would do justice before me, and so that he would carry out my precepts and judgments, as his father David did.

34 “‘Sin embargo, no quitaré todo el reino de su mano, sino que lo haré príncipe todos los días de su vida por amor a David, mi siervo, a quien elegí, quien guardó mis mandamientos y mis estatutos,

But I will not take the entire kingdom from his hand. Instead, I will establish him as the ruler during all the days of his life, for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.

35 pero quitaré el reino de la mano de su hijo y te lo daré a ti, diez tribus.

But I will take away the kingdom from the hand of his son, and I will give to you ten tribes.

36 Le daré una tribu a su hijo, para que mi siervo David tenga siempre una lámpara delante de mí en Jerusalén, la ciudad que he elegido para poner mi nombre en ella.

Then, to his son, I will give one tribe, so that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me, for all days, in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, so that my name would be there.

37 Yo te tomaré a ti, y tú reinarás según todo lo que tu alma desee, y serás rey sobre Israel.

And I will take you up, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires. And you shall be king over Israel.

38 Si escuchas todo lo que te mando, y andas en mis caminos, y haces lo que es recto a mis ojos, guardando mis estatutos y mis mandamientos, como lo hizo mi siervo David, yo estaré contigo, y te edificaré una casa segura, como la que edifiqué para David, y te entregaré a Israel.

Therefore, if you will listen to all that I will command you, and if you will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight, keeping my commandments and my precepts, just as my servant David did, then I will be with you, and I will build for you a faithful house, in the way that I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to you.

39 Por esto afligiré a la descendencia de David, pero no para siempre’”.

And I will afflict the offspring of David over this, but truly not for all days.’”

40 Por eso Salomón trató de matar a Jeroboam, pero éste se levantó y huyó a Egipto, a Sisac, rey de Egipto, y estuvo en Egipto hasta la muerte de Salomón.

Therefore, Solomon wanted to kill Jeroboam. But he rose up and fled away to Egypt, to Shishak, the king of Egypt. And he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

41 Los demás hechos de Salomón, y todo lo que hizo, y su sabiduría, ¿no están escritos en el libro de los hechos de Salomón?

Now the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold, these are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.

42 El tiempo que Salomón reinó en Jerusalén sobre todo Israel fue de cuarenta años.

And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, were forty years.

43 Salomón durmió con sus padres, y fue enterrado en la ciudad de su padre David; y reinó en su lugar Roboam, su hijo.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David, his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.
