2 Crónicas 12
1 Y como Roboam hubo confirmado el reino, dejó la ley de Jehová, y con él todo Israel.
Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 Y en el quinto año del rey Roboam subió Sesac rey de Egipto contra Jerusalem, por cuanto se habían rebelado contra Jehová,
Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,
3 Con mil y doscientos carros, y con sesenta mil hombres de a caballo: mas el pueblo que venía con él de Egipto no tenía número, de Libios, Trogloditas, y Etiopes.
With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.
4 Y tomó las ciudades fuertes de Judá, y llegó hasta Jerusalem.
And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Entonces vino Semeías profeta a Roboam, y a los príncipes de Judá que estaban congregados en Jerusalem por causa de Sesac, y díjoles: Así ha dicho Jehová: Vosotros me habéis dejado, y yo también os he dejado en mano de Sesac.
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.
6 Y los príncipes de Israel, y el rey, se humillaron, y dijeron: Justo es Jehová.
Then the chiefs of Israel and the king made themselves low and said, The Lord is upright.
7 Y como vio Jehová, que se habían humillado, fue palabra de Jehová a Semeías, diciendo: Hánse humillado: no los destruiré, antes en breve los salvaré; y no se derramará mi ira contra Jerusalem por mano de Sesac.
And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Empero serán sus siervos; para que sepan que es servirme a mí, o servir a los reinos de las naciones.
But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the lands.
9 Y subió Sesac rey de Egipto a Jerusalem, y tomó los tesoros de la casa de Jehová, y los tesoros de la casa del rey, todo lo llevó: y tomó los paveses de oro que Salomón había hecho,
So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.
10 E hizo el rey Roboam en lugar de ellos paveses de metal, y entrególos en manos de los príncipes de la guardia, que guardaba la entrada de la casa del rey.
And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
11 Y cuando el rey iba a la casa de Jehová, venían los de la guardia, y traíanlos, y después los volvían a la cámara de la guardia.
And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.
12 Y como él se humilló, la ira de Jehová se apartó de él, para no destruirle del todo: y también en Judá las cosas fueron bien.
And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.
13 Y fortificado Roboam, reinó en Jerusalem: y era Roboam de cuarenta y un años, cuando comenzó a reinar, y diez y siete años reinó en Jerusalem, ciudad que escogió Jehová, para poner en ella su nombre, de todas las tribus de Israel: y el nombre de su madre fue Naama, Ammonita.
So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
14 E hizo lo malo, porque no apercibió su corazón para buscar a Jehová.
And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.
15 Y las cosas de Roboam primeras y postreras, ¿no están escritas en los libros de Semeías profeta, y de Addo vidente, en la cuenta de los linajes? Y hubo guerra perpetua entre Roboam y Jeroboam.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
16 Y durmió Roboam con sus padres, y fue sepultado en la ciudad de David: y reinó en su lugar Abías su hijo.
And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.
