2 Reyes 9
1 El profeta Eliseo llamó a uno de los hijos de los profetas y le dijo: “Ponte el cinturón en la cintura, toma esta vasija de aceite en tu mano y ve a Ramot de Galaad.
And Elisha the prophet sent for one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Make yourself ready for a journey, and take this bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Cuando llegues allí, busca a Jehú, hijo de Josafat, hijo de Nimsí, y entra y haz que se levante de entre sus hermanos, y llévalo a una habitación interior.
And when you get there, go in search of Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi; and go in and make him get up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
3 Luego toma la vasija de aceite y derrámala sobre su cabeza, y di: “Yahvé dice: “Te he ungido como rey sobre Israel””. Entonces abre la puerta, huye y no esperes”.
Then take the bottle and put the oil on his head, and say, The Lord says, I have put the holy oil on you to make you king over Israel. Then, opening the door, go in flight, without waiting.
4 El joven profeta fue a Ramot de Galaad.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.
5 Cuando llegó, he aquí que los capitanes del ejército estaban sentados. Entonces dijo: “Tengo un mensaje para ti, capitán”. Jehú dijo: “¿A quién de nosotros?” Dijo: “A ti, oh capitán”.
And when he came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.
6 Se levantó y entró en la casa. Luego derramó el aceite sobre su cabeza y le dijo: “Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, dice: ‘Te he ungido rey sobre el pueblo de Yahvé, sobre Israel.
And he got up and went into the house; then he put the holy oil on his head and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, I have made you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
7 Debes golpear la casa de tu amo Ajab, para que yo vengue la sangre de mis siervos los profetas, y la sangre de todos los siervos de Yahvé, a manos de Jezabel.
You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.
8 Porque toda la casa de Ajab perecerá. Cortaré de Ajab a todo el que orine contra una pared, tanto al que está encerrado como al que queda suelto en Israel.
For the family of Ahab will come to an end; every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes free in Israel.
9 Haré que la casa de Acab sea como la casa de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y como la casa de Baasa, hijo de Ahías.
I will make the family of Ahab like that of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and Baasha, the son of Ahijah.
10 Los perros se comerán a Jezabel en la parcela de Jezreel, y no habrá quien la entierre.’” Entonces abrió la puerta y huyó.
And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.
11 Cuando Jehú salió a ver a los siervos de su señor y uno le dijo: “¿Está todo bien? ¿Por qué ha venido a ti este loco?” Les dijo: “Ya conocéis al hombre y su forma de hablar”.
Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.
12 Ellos dijeron: “Eso es mentira. Dinos ahora”. Me dijo: “Dice Yahvé que te he ungido como rey de Israel”.
And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.
13 Entonces se apresuraron, y cada uno tomó su manto y lo puso debajo de él en lo alto de la escalera, y tocaron la trompeta, diciendo: “Jehú es rey.”
Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, Jehu is king.
14 Entonces Jehú, hijo de Josafat, hijo de Nimsí, conspiró contra Joram. (Joram estaba defendiendo Ramot de Galaad, él y todo Israel, a causa de Hazael, rey de Siria;
So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:
15 pero el rey Joram había regresado para curarse en Jezreel de las heridas que los sirios le habían hecho cuando luchó con Hazael, rey de Siria). Jehú dijo: “Si este es tu pensamiento, que nadie se escape y salga de la ciudad para ir a contarlo en Jezreel”.
But King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the Aramaeans had given him when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your purpose, then let no one get away and go out of the town to give news of it in Jezreel.
16 Así que Jehú montó en un carro y fue a Jezreel, pues Joram yacía allí. Ocozías, rey de Judá, había bajado a ver a Joram.
So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there; and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.
17 El centinela estaba en la torre de Jezreel, y al ver que llegaba la compañía de Jehú, dijo: “Veo una compañía.” Joram dijo: “Toma un jinete y envía a recibirlos, y que diga: “¿Hay paz?”.
And the watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his band coming, and said, I see a band of people. And Joram said, Send out a horseman to them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 Entonces uno fue a caballo a su encuentro y dijo: “El rey dice: “¿Es la paz?” Jehú dijo: “¿Qué tienes que ver con la paz? Ponte detrás de mí”. El vigilante dijo: “El mensajero vino a ellos, pero no vuelve”.
So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.
19 Entonces envió a un segundo a caballo, que se acercó a ellos y les dijo: “El rey dice: “¿Hay paz?”. Jehú respondió: “¿Qué tienes que ver con la paz? Ponte detrás de mí”.
Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.
20 El vigilante dijo: “Ha venido hacia ellos y no vuelve. La conducción es como la de Jehú, hijo de Nimsí, pues conduce con furia”.
And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently.
21 Joram dijo: “¡Prepárate!” Prepararon su carro. Entonces salieron Joram, rey de Israel, y Ocozías, rey de Judá, cada uno en su carro; y salieron al encuentro de Jehú, y lo encontraron en la tierra de Nabot el jezreelita.
Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Cuando Joram vio a Jehú, le dijo: “¿Hay paz, Jehú?” Respondió: “¿Qué paz, mientras abunden la prostitución de tu madre Jezabel y sus brujerías?”
Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?
23 Joram volvió las manos y huyó, y dijo a Ocozías: “¡Esto es traición, Ocozías!”
Then Joram, turning his horses in flight, said to Ahaziah, Broken faith, O Ahaziah!
24 Jehú tensó su arco con todas sus fuerzas, e hirió a Joram entre sus brazos; la flecha le salió al corazón, y se hundió en su carro.
Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.
25 Entonces Jehú dijo a Bidkar, su capitán: “Recógelo y arrójalo en la parcela del campo de Nabot el jezreelita; pues recuerda que cuando tú y yo cabalgábamos juntos tras su padre Ajab, Yahvé le impuso esta carga:
Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:
26 ‘Ciertamente he visto ayer la sangre de Nabot y la sangre de sus hijos’, dice Yahvé; ‘y te pagaré en esta parcela’, dice Yahvé. Ahora, pues, tómalo y échalo en la parcela, según la palabra de Yahvé”.
I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday; and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.
27 Al ver esto, Ocozías, rey de Judá, huyó por el camino de la casa del jardín. Jehú lo siguió, y dijo: “¡Hiéranlo también en el carro!” Lo hirieron en la subida de Gur, que está junto a Ibleam. Huyó a Meguido, y allí murió.
Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.
28 Sus servidores lo llevaron en un carro a Jerusalén, y lo enterraron en su tumba con sus padres en la ciudad de David.
And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
29 En el undécimo año de Joram, hijo de Ajab, Ocozías comenzó a reinar sobre Judá.
(In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.)
30 Cuando Jehú llegó a Jezreel, Jezabel se enteró, y se pintó los ojos, se adornó la cabeza y se asomó a la ventana.
And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.
31 Cuando Jehú entró por la puerta, ella dijo: “¿Vienes en paz, Zimri, asesino de tu señor?”
And when Jehu was coming into the town, she said, Is all well, O Zimri, taker of your master's life?
32 Levantó el rostro hacia la ventana y dijo: “¿Quién está de mi lado? ¿Quién?” Dos o tres eunucos le miraron.
Then, looking up to the window, he said, Who is on my side, who? and two or three unsexed servants put out their heads.
33 Él dijo: “¡Tírala!” Entonces la arrojaron al suelo, y parte de su sangre fue rociada sobre el muro y sobre los caballos. Entonces él la pisoteó.
And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.
34 Cuando entró, comió y bebió. Luego dijo: “Encargaos ahora de esta mujer maldita y enterradla, porque es hija de un rey”.
And he came in, and took food and drink; then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.
35 Fueron a enterrarla, pero no encontraron de ella más que el cráneo, los pies y las palmas de las manos.
And they went out to put her body into the earth, but nothing of her was to be seen, only the bones of her head, and her feet, and parts of her hands.
36 Volvieron, pues, y le contaron. Dijo: “Esta es la palabra de Yahvé, que habló por medio de su siervo Elías el tisbita, diciendo: ‘Los perros comerán la carne de Jezabel en la parcela de Jezreel,
So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;
37 y el cuerpo de Jezebel será como estiércol en la superficie del campo en la tierra de Jezreel, para que no digan: “Esta es Jezebel””.
And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.
