1 Reyes 21
1 Después de estas cosas, aconteció que Nabot jezreelita tenía un viñedo en Jezreel, junto al palacio de Acab, rey de Samaria.
And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
2 Y Acab habló a Nabot: Dame tu viñedo para que me sirva como huerto, porque está junto a mi casa. Te daré un viñedo mejor que éste por él, o si te parece mejor, te lo compraré.
And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
3 Pero Nabot dijo a Acab: ¡Guárdeme Yavé de darte la herencia de mis antepasados!
And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
4 Acab fue a su casa decaído y enfadado a causa de las palabras que Nabot jezreelita le habló, pues él le dijo: ¡No te daré la herencia de mis antepasados! Y se acostó en su cama, volvió su rostro y no quiso comer pan.
And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
5 Su esposa Jezabel fue a él y le preguntó: ¿Por qué está tan decaído tu espíritu y no comes pan?
and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
6 Y él le respondió: Porque hablé con Nabot jezreelita, y le dije: Véndeme tu viñedo, o si te parece mejor, te daré otro viñedo por él. Y me contestó: No te venderé mi viñedo.
struck each one the man next to him; and each one a second time struck the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
7 Y su esposa Jezabel le preguntó: ¿Eres tú ahora rey de Israel? ¡Levántate, come pan y alégrese tu corazón! ¡Yo te daré el viñedo de Nabot jezreelita!
And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and struck [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
8 Entonces ella escribió cartas en nombre de Acab, las selló con el anillo de él y las envió a los ancianos y nobles que vivían con Nabot en su ciudad.
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen yourself, and observe, and see what you shall do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against you.
9 Y en las cartas dijo: Proclamen ayuno y busquen que Nabot se siente frente al pueblo,
And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
10 que dos hombres perversos se sienten frente a él y testifiquen contra él: ¡Maldijiste a ʼElohim y al rey! Sáquenlo y apedréenlo hasta que muera.
And do you this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
11 Los hombres de la ciudad, es decir, los ancianos y los nobles que vivían en su ciudad, hicieron tal como Jezabel les ordenó, conforme a lo escrito en las cartas que ella les envió.
And we will give you [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he listened to their voice, and did so.
12 Proclamaron un ayuno y sentaron a Nabot frente al pueblo.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
13 Los dos hombres perversos entraron, se sentaron frente a él y dieron testimonio contra Nabot delante del pueblo: ¡Nabot maldijo a ʼElohim y al rey! Y ellos lo llevaron fuera de la ciudad y lo lapidaron hasta que murió.
And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
14 Luego enviaron a decir a Jezabel: Nabot fue apedreado y murió.
And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus says the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into your hand, and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
15 Sucedió que cuando Jezabel oyó que Nabot fue apedreado y murió, ella dijo a Acab: Levántate y toma posesión del viñedo de Nabot jezreelita, quien se negó a vendértelo, porque Nabot ya no vive, pues murió.
And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel struck Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
16 Sucedió que cuando Acab oyó que Nabot murió, se levantó para bajar al viñedo de Nabot jezreelita y tomar posesión de él.
And the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
17 Y la Palabra de Yavé llegó a Elías tisbita:
And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
18 Levántate, baja a encontrarte con Acab, rey de Israel, que está en Samaria. Mira, está en el viñedo de Nabot, a donde bajó para tomar posesión de él.
So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Your servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray you. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
19 Y le dirás: Yavé dice: ¿Asesinaste y también tomas posesión? Y le dirás: Yavé dice: En el mismo sitio donde los perros lamieron la sangre de Nabot, los perros también lamerán tu sangre.
And the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Your brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go you in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
20 Acab preguntó a Elías: ¿Me hallaste, enemigo mío? Y él respondió: Te hallé, porque te vendiste para hacer el mal ante Yavé.
And he said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore to you; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let you go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
21 Ciertamente, Yo traigo el mal sobre ti. Te barreré por completo y destruiré a todo varón de Acab en Israel, tanto al esclavo como al libre.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the Lord, Strike me, I pray, And the man would not strike him.
22 Será tu casa como la casa de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y como la casa de Baasa, hijo de Ahías, por la rebelión con que me provocaste a ira y estimulaste a pecar a Israel.
And he said to him, Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as you depart from me, a lion shall strike you: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and struck him.
23 Yavé también habló de Jezabel: ¡Los perros comerán a Jezabel en el muro de Jezreel!
And he finds another man, and says, Strike me, I pray you. And the man struck him, and in striking wounded [him].
24 Al que muera de [la casa de] Acab en la ciudad, lo comerán los perros, y al que muera en el campo, lo comerán las aves del cielo.
And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
25 Ciertamente no hubo ninguno como Acab que se vendió para hacer el mal ante Yavé, incitado por su esposa Jezabel.
And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Your servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then your life shall go for his life, or you shall pay a talent of silver.
26 Procedió de manera repugnante a seguir tras los ídolos, conforme a todo lo que hacían los amorreos, a los cuales Yavé desposeyó delante de los hijos de Israel.
And it came to pass, that your servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, you have also destroyed snares [set] for me.
27 Sucedió que cuando Acab oyó estas palabras, rasgó sus ropas, puso ropa áspera sobre su cuerpo, ayunó, se acostó con la ropa áspera y anduvo afligido.
And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
28 Y la Palabra de Yavé llegó a Elías tisbita:
And he said to him, Thus says the Lord, Because you have suffered to escape out of your hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
29 ¿Viste cómo Acab se humilló delante de Mí? Por cuanto se humilló, no traeré el mal en sus días. El mal sobre su casa lo traeré en los días de su hijo.
And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
