1 Samuel 30
1 Al tercer día, cuando David y sus hombres llegaron a Siclag, aconteció que los amalecitas habían incursionado en el Neguev contra Siclag, y lo asolaron e incendiaron.
It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2 También tomaron cautivas a las mujeres y a todos los que estaban allí, grandes y pequeños. Pero a nadie mataron, sino se los llevaron al proseguir su camino.
and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3 Cuando David y sus hombres llegaron a la ciudad, ahí estaba quemada, y sus esposas, hijos e hijas fueron llevados cautivos.
When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4 Entonces David y la gente que estaba con él alzaron su voz y lloraron hasta cuando no les quedaron más fuerzas para llorar.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 También fueron tomadas cautivas las dos esposas de David: Ahinoam jezreelita y Abigail, la que fue esposa de Nabal carmelita.
David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Además David estaba muy angustiado porque el pueblo hablaba de apedrearlo, porque todo el pueblo estaba amargado, cada uno por causa de sus hijos e hijas. Pero David se fortaleció en Yavé su ʼElohim.
David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
7 David dijo al sacerdote Abiatar, hijo de Ahimelec: Tráeme el efod. Y Abiatar llevó el efod a David.
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 David consultó a Yavé: ¿Persigo a esta banda? ¿Los alcanzaré? Y Él le respondió: Persíguelos porque de seguro la alcanzarás y sin duda los rescatarás.
David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."
9 Por tanto, David salió con los 600 hombres que estaban con él, y llegaron hasta el torrente Besor, donde se quedaron los rezagados.
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 Pero David continuó con 400 hombres, porque 200 se detuvieron porque estaban demasiado cansados para cruzar el torrente Besor.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
11 Hallaron en el campo a un egipcio, a quien llevaron a David. Le dieron pan, y comió, y le dieron a beber agua.
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
12 Le dieron un trozo de torta de higos secos y dos racimos de uvas pasas. Y cuando él comió le volvió el aliento, porque no había comido pan ni bebido agua en tres días y tres noches.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 David le preguntó: ¿A quién perteneces? ¿De dónde vienes? Y él respondió: Soy un joven de Egipto, esclavo de un amalecita, y mi ʼadón me abandonó hace tres días, porque enfermé.
David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Nosotros hicimos una incursión al sur de los cereteos, en lo que pertenece a Judá y por el sur de Caleb, e incendiamos a Siclag.
We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
15 David le dijo: ¿Puedes llevarme tú a esa banda? Y él respondió: Júrame por ʼElohim que no me matarás ni me entregarás en mano de mi ʼadón, y yo te llevaré a esa banda.
David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
16 Entonces lo llevó. Y ahí estaban ellos esparcidos por toda aquella tierra comiendo, bebiendo y festejando por todo el gran despojo que tomaron de la tierra de los filisteos y de la tierra de Judá.
When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 David los atacó desde el alba hasta la noche del día siguiente. No escapó ninguno de ellos, excepto 400 jóvenes que montaron en camellos y huyeron.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18 David liberó a todos los que fueron tomados por los amalecitas y rescató a sus dos esposas.
He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
19 No les faltó cosa pequeña ni grande, ni hijos ni hijas, ni del despojo de todo lo que les tomaron. David lo recuperó todo.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.
20 Además David se apoderó de todos los rebaños y las manadas vacunas, los cuales llevaron delante del ganado recobrado. Y decían: ¡Este es el botín de David!
He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
21 David llegó a los 200 hombres que por estar muy débiles no pudieron seguirlo, a quienes dejó junto al torrente Besor. Ellos salieron a recibir a David y a la gente que lo acompañaba. Cuando David se acercó a ellos, los saludó con paz.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted them.
22 Pero todos los hombres malvados y perversos que fueron con David dijeron: Puesto que no fueron con nosotros, no les demos del despojo recuperado, excepto a cada uno su esposa y sus hijos. Que los tomen y se vayan.
Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."
23 Pero David dijo: Hermanos míos, no hagan eso con lo que Yavé nos dio, pues nos protegió y entregó la banda que vino contra nosotros en nuestra mano.
Then David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
24 ¿Quién los escuchará en esto? Porque la misma parte debe haber para los que van a la batalla y para los que se quedan con el equipo. Participarán por igual.
So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
25 Desde aquel día en adelante quedó establecido esto como estatuto y ordenanza en Israel hasta hoy.
It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 Al llegar a Siclag David envió parte del despojo a los ancianos de Judá, sus amigos, y dijo: Aquí está un presente para ustedes del despojo de los enemigos de Yavé.
When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD."
27 También envió a los que estaban en Bet-ʼEl, en Ramot del sur, en Jatir,
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 en Aroer y en Sifmot, en Estemoa,
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 en Racal, en las ciudades de Jerameel, en las ciudades del ceneo,
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
30 en Horma, en Corasán, en Atac,
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 en Hebrón, y a todos los lugares que David recorrió con sus hombres.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
