< 1 Reyes 16 >

1 Y fue palabra de Jehová a Jehú, hijo de Hanani, contra Baasa, diciendo:
During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
2 Por cuanto yo te levanté del polvo, y te puse por príncipe sobre mi pueblo Israel, mas tú has andado en el camino de Jeroboam, y has hecho pecar a mi pueblo Israel, provocándome a ira en sus pecados:
“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
3 He aquí yo barro la posteridad de Baasa, y la posteridad de su casa; y pondré tu casa, como la casa de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat.
So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
4 El que de Baasa fuere muerto en la ciudad, los perros le comerán: y el que de él fuere muerto en el campo, comerle han las aves del cielo.
[The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
5 Lo demás de los hechos de Baasa, y las cosas que hizo, y su fortaleza, ¿no está todo escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
6 Y durmió Baasa con sus padres, y fue sepultado en Tersa; y reinó en su lugar Ela su hijo.
When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
7 Y asimismo había sido palabra de Jehová por Jehú, hijo de Hanani, profeta, sobre Baasa, y sobre su casa, y sobre todo lo malo que hizo delante de los ojos de Jehová, provocándole a ira con las obras de sus manos, que sería hecha como la casa de Jeroboam: y sobre que le había herido.
Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
8 En el año veinte y seis de Asa rey de Judá, comenzó a reinar Ela, hijo de Baasa, sobre Israel en Tersa, dos años:
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
9 E hizo conjuración contra él su siervo Zambri, príncipe sobre la mitad de los carros: y estando él en Tersa bebiendo, y embriagado en casa de Arsa su mayordomo en Tersa,
[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
10 Vino Zambri, y le hirió, y mató en el año veinte y siete de Asa rey de Judá, y reinó en su lugar.
Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
11 Y reinando él, y estando asentado en su trono hirió toda la casa de Baasa sin dejar en ella meante a la pared, ni sus parientes ni amigos.
As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
12 Y así rayó Zambri toda la casa de Baasa, conforme a la palabra de Jehová, que había hablado contra Baasa por Jehú profeta:
That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
13 Por todos los pecados de Baasa, y los pecados de Ela su hijo, con que ellos pecaron, e hicieron pecar a Israel, provocando a enojo a Jehová Dios de Israel con sus vanidades.
Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
14 Los demás hechos de Ela, y todas las cosas que hizo, ¿no está todo escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
15 En el año veinte y siete de Asa rey de Judá, comenzó a reinar Zambri siete días en Tersa: y el pueblo había asentado campo sobre Gebbetón, ciudad de los Filisteos.
So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
16 Y el pueblo que estaba en el campo oyendo decir: Zambri ha hecho conjuración, y ha muerto al rey, entonces todo Israel levantó por rey sobre Israel a Amrí, general del ejército, el mismo día en el campo.
The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
17 Y subió Amrí y todo Israel con él de Gebbetón, y cercaron a Tersa.
The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
18 Y viendo Zambri tomada la ciudad se metió en el palacio de la casa real, y pegó fuego a la casa consigo; y murió,
When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
19 Por sus pecados con que él pecó, haciendo lo malo delante de los ojos de Jehová, y andando en los caminos de Jeroboam, y en sus pecados que hizo, haciendo pecar a Israel.
He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
20 Los demás hechos de Zambri, y su conspiración, que conspiró, ¿no está todo escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
21 Entonces el pueblo de Israel fue dividido en dos partes; la mitad del pueblo seguía a Tebni, hijo de Ginet, para hacerle rey: y la otra mitad seguía a Amrí.
After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
22 Mas el pueblo que seguía a Amrí, pudo más que el que seguía a Tebni, hijo de Ginet: y Tebni murió, y Amrí fue rey.
Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
23 En el año treinta y uno de Asa rey de Judá, Amrí reinó sobre Israel doce años: y en Tersa reinó seis años.
Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
24 Este compró el monte de Samaria de Semer por dos talentos de plata: y edificó en el monte, y llamó el nombre de la ciudad que edificó, como el nombre de Semer, señor del monte de Samaria.
Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
25 E hizo Amrí lo malo delante de los ojos de Jehová, e hizo peor que todos los que habían sido antes de él.
But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
26 Porque anduvo en todos los caminos de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y en su pecado con que hizo pecar a Israel, provocando a ira a Jehová Dios de Israel con sus vanidades.
[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
27 Lo demás de los hechos de Amrí, y todas las cosas que hizo, y sus valentías que hizo, ¿no está todo escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
28 Y Amrí durmió con sus padres, y fue sepultado en Samaria; y reinó en su lugar Acab su hijo.
After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
29 Y comenzó a reinar Acab, hijo de Amrí, sobre Israel el año treinta y ocho de Asa rey de Judá.
Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
30 Y reinó Acab, hijo de Amrí, sobre Israel en Samaria, veinte y dos años. Y Acab, hijo de Amrí, hizo lo malo delante de los ojos de Jehová sobre todos los que fueron antes de él.
Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
31 Porque le fue ligera cosa andar en los pecados de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y tomó por mujer a Jezabel, hija de Et-baal, rey de los Sidonios: y fue, y sirvió a Baal, y le adoró.
He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
32 E hizo altar a Baal, en el templo de Baal que él edificó en Samaria.
He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
33 Hizo también Acab bosque: y añadió Acab haciendo provocar a ira a Jehová Dios de Israel, más que todos los reyes de Israel, que fueron antes de él.
He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
34 En su tiempo Hiel de Bet-el reedificó a Jericó. En Abiram su primogénito la fundó: y en Segub su hijo postrero puso sus puertas, conforme a la palabra de Jehová que había hablado por Josué, hijo de Nun.
During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
