1 Reyes 22
1 Continuaron tres años sin guerra entre Siria e Israel.
Now for three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
2 Al tercer año, Josafat, rey de Judá, bajó a ver al rey de Israel.
And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.
3 El rey de Israel dijo a sus siervos: “¿Sabéis que Ramot de Galaad es nuestra, y no hacemos nada, y no la quitamos de la mano del rey de Siria?”
And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.
4 Dijo a Josafat: “¿Quieres ir conmigo a la batalla de Ramot de Galaad?” Josafat dijo al rey de Israel: “Yo soy como tú, mi pueblo como tu pueblo, mis caballos como tus caballos”.
And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
5 Josafat dijo al rey de Israel: “Por favor, consulta primero la palabra de Yahvé”.
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
6 Entonces el rey de Israel reunió a los profetas, unos cuatrocientos hombres, y les dijo: “¿Debo ir contra Ramot de Galaad a combatir, o me abstengo?” Dijeron: “Sube, porque el Señor la entregará en mano del rey”.
So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
7 Pero Josafat dijo: “¿No hay aquí un profeta de Yahvé, para que le preguntemos?”
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
8 El rey de Israel dijo a Josafat: “Todavía hay un hombre por el que podemos consultar a Yahvé, Micaías hijo de Imá; pero lo odio, porque no profetiza el bien sobre mí, sino el mal.” Josafat dijo: “Que no lo diga el rey”.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Entonces el rey de Israel llamó a un oficial y le dijo: “Trae rápidamente a Micaías, hijo de Imlah”.
Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.
10 El rey de Israel y Josafat, rey de Judá, estaban sentados cada uno en su trono, vestidos con sus ropas, en un lugar abierto a la entrada de la puerta de Samaria, y todos los profetas profetizaban delante de ellos.
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.
11 Sedequías, hijo de Quená, se hizo unos cuernos de hierro y dijo: “Yahvé dice: ‘Con estos empujarás a los sirios hasta consumirlos’”.
And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
12 Así lo profetizaron todos los profetas, diciendo: “Sube a Ramot de Galaad y prospera, porque Yahvé la entregará en manos del rey.”
And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
13 El mensajero que fue a llamar a Micaías le habló diciendo: “Mira ahora, los profetas declaran el bien al rey con una sola boca. Por favor, que tu palabra sea como la de uno de ellos, y habla bien”.
Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.
14 Micaías dijo: “Vive Yahvé, lo que Yahvé me diga, eso hablaré”.
And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
15 Cuando llegó al rey, éste le dijo: “Micaías, ¿vamos a Ramot de Galaad a combatir o nos abstenemos?” Él le respondió: “Sube y prospera, y Yahvé la entregará en mano del rey”.
When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
16 El rey le dijo: “¿Cuántas veces tengo que conjurarte para que no me digas más que la verdad en nombre de Yahvé?”
Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?
17 Dijo: “Vi a todo Israel disperso por los montes, como ovejas que no tienen pastor. El Señor dijo: ‘Estas no tienen dueño. Que cada uno vuelva a su casa en paz’”.
Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.
18 El rey de Israel dijo a Josafat: “¿No te dije que no profetizaría el bien sobre mí, sino el mal?”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good but of evil?
19 Micaías dijo: “Escuchen, pues, la palabra de Yahvé. Vi al Señor sentado en su trono, y a todo el ejército del cielo junto a él, a su derecha y a su izquierda.
And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.
20 Yahvé dijo: “¿Quién va a tentar a Ajab para que suba y caiga en Ramot de Galaad? Uno dijo una cosa, y otro dijo otra.
And the Lord said, How may Ahab be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
21 Un espíritu salió y se puso delante de Yahvé, y dijo: “Lo voy a seducir”.
Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.
22 El Señor le dijo: “¿Cómo? Dijo: ‘Saldré y seré un espíritu mentiroso en la boca de todos sus profetas’. Dijo: ‘Lo atraerás, y además vencerás. Salid y hacedlo’.
And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
23 Ahora, pues, he aquí que Yahvé ha puesto un espíritu mentiroso en la boca de todos estos tus profetas, y Yahvé ha hablado mal de ti.”
And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.
24 Entonces Sedequías, hijo de Quenaana, se acercó y golpeó a Micaías en la mejilla, y dijo: “¿Por dónde se fue el Espíritu de Yahvé de mí para hablarte?”
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
25 Micaías dijo: “He aquí que verás aquel día cuando entres en una habitación interior para esconderte”.
And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
26 El rey de Israel dijo: “Toma a Micaías y llévalo a Amón, el gobernador de la ciudad, y a Joás, el hijo del rey.
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
27 Di: “El rey dice: “Pon a este hombre en la cárcel y aliméntalo con pan de aflicción y con agua de aflicción, hasta que yo venga en paz””.
And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.
28 Micaías dijo: “Si regresan en paz, Yahvé no ha hablado por mí”. Dijo: “¡Escuchen, todos ustedes!”
And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
29 El rey de Israel y Josafat, rey de Judá, subieron a Ramot de Galaad.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 El rey de Israel dijo a Josafat: “Yo me disfrazaré y entraré en la batalla, pero tú ponte tus ropas”. El rey de Israel se disfrazó y entró en la batalla.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress and went into the fight.
31 El rey de Siria había ordenado a los treinta y dos capitanes de sus carros que dijeran: “No peleen con los pequeños ni con los grandes, sino sólo con el rey de Israel.”
Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
32 Cuando los capitanes de los carros vieron a Josafat, dijeron: “¡Seguramente ése es el rey de Israel!” Y se acercaron a pelear contra él. Josafat gritó.
So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.
33 Cuando los capitanes de los carros vieron que no era el rey de Israel, dejaron de perseguirlo.
And when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
34 Un hombre sacó su arco al azar e hirió al rey de Israel entre las junturas de la armadura. Entonces dijo al conductor de su carro: “Da la vuelta y sácame de la batalla, porque estoy gravemente herido”.
And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.
35 La batalla se intensificó aquel día. El rey fue apuntalado en su carro de cara a los sirios, y murió al atardecer. La sangre corría por la herida hasta el fondo del carro.
But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.
36 Un grito recorrió el ejército al ponerse el sol, diciendo: “¡Cada uno a su ciudad y cada uno a su país!”
And about sundown a cry went up from all parts of the army, saying, Let every man go back to his town and his country, for the king is dead.
37 El rey murió y fue llevado a Samaria; y enterraron al rey en Samaria.
And they came to Samaria, and put the king's body to rest in Samaria.
38 Lavaron el carro junto al estanque de Samaria, y los perros lamieron su sangre donde se lavaban las prostitutas, según la palabra de Yahvé que él había dicho.
And the war-carriage was washed by the pool of Samaria, which was the bathing-place of the loose women, and the dogs were drinking his blood there, as the Lord had said.
39 Los demás hechos de Acab, y todo lo que hizo, y la casa de marfil que construyó, y todas las ciudades que edificó, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
40 Ajab, pues, durmió con sus padres, y su hijo Ocozías reinó en su lugar.
So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
41 Josafat hijo de Asa comenzó a reinar sobre Judá en el cuarto año de Acab, rey de Israel.
And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.
42 Josafat tenía treinta y cinco años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó veinticinco años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Azubá, hija de Silí.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Siguió todo el camino de su padre Asa. No se apartó de él, haciendo lo que era correcto a los ojos de Yahvé. Sin embargo, los lugares altos no fueron quitados. El pueblo seguía sacrificando y quemando incienso en los lugares altos.
He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord; but the high places were not taken away: the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
44 Josafat hizo la paz con el rey de Israel.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 El resto de los hechos de Josafat, y el poderío que mostró, y cómo luchó, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his great power, and how he went to war, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
46 El resto de los sodomitas que quedaron en los días de su padre Asa, él los expulsó del país.
He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.
47 No hubo rey en Edom. Gobernaba un suplente.
At that time there was no king in Edom;
48 Josafat hizo que los barcos de Tarsis fueran a buscar oro a Ofir, pero no fueron, pues los barcos naufragaron en Ezión Geber.
And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.
49 Entonces Ocozías, hijo de Ajab, dijo a Josafat: “Deja que mis siervos vayan con los tuyos en los barcos”. Pero Josafat no quiso.
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.
50 Josafat durmió con sus padres, y fue enterrado con sus padres en la ciudad de su padre David. Su hijo Joram reinó en su lugar.
Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.
51 Ocozías hijo de Acab comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en Samaria en el año diecisiete de Josafat, rey de Judá, y reinó dos años sobre Israel.
Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.
52 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos de Yahvé, y anduvo en el camino de su padre, y en el camino de su madre, y en el camino de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, en el cual hizo pecar a Israel.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.
53 Sirvió a Baal y lo adoró, y provocó la ira de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, en todas las formas en que su padre lo había hecho.
He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.
