1 Reyes 21

1 Y Nabot jezreelita tenía un viñedo en Jezreel, cerca de la casa de Acab, rey de Samaria.

And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, near by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

2 Y Acab dijo a Nabot: Dame tu huerta para que la tenga para un huerto de plantas de olor, porque está cerca de mi casa; y permíteme darte un mejor huerto a cambio, o, si te parece bien, permíteme darte su valor en dinero.

And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard that I may have it for a garden of herbs because it is near to my house. And I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it, or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

3 Pero Nabot dijo a Acab: Por el Señor, lejos de mí este darte la herencia de mis padres.

And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it of me that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee.

4 Entonces Acab entró en su casa amargado y enojado porque Nabot el jezreelita le había dicho: No te daré la herencia de mis padres. Y se tiró en la cama boca abajo, y no comió.

And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

5 Pero Jezabel, su esposa, se acercó a él y le dijo: ¿Por qué tu espíritu es tan amargo que no tienes deseos de comer?

But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad that thou eat no bread?

6 Y él le dijo: Porque yo estaba hablando con Nabot de Jezreel, y le dije: Déjame tener tu viña por un precio o, si te complace, te daré Otra viña por ella: y él dijo: No te daré mi huerto.

And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money, or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it. And he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

7 Entonces Jezabel, su esposa, dijo: Ahora eres el gobernante de Israel Levántate, come, y alégrese tu corazón; Te daré el jardín de la vid de Nabot de Jezreel.

And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry. I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

8 Entonces ella envió una carta en nombre de Acab, estampada con su sello, a los hombres responsables y a los jefes que estaban en autoridad con Nabot.

So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt with Naboth.

9 Y en la carta ella decía: “Que se proclame un ayuno público, y pongan a Nabot delante del pueblo;

And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

10 Y que dos falsos testigos vengan ante él y den testimonio de que ha estado maldiciendo a Dios y al rey. Entonces sáquenlo y hazlo apedrear para que muera.

And set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou cursed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.

11 Así que los hombres responsables y los jefes que estaban en autoridad en su pueblo, hicieron lo que Jezabel había dicho en la carta que ella les envió.

And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

12 Dieron órdenes para un día de dolor público y pusieron a Nabot delante del pueblo.

They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

13 Y los dos testigos malvados entraron y tomaron asiento delante de él y dieron testimonio contra Nabot, frente al pueblo, diciendo: Nabot ha estado maldiciendo a Dios y al rey. Luego lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo apedrearon hasta la muerte.

And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. And the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth cursed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

14 Entonces enviaron un mensaje a Jezabel, diciendo: Nabot ha sido apedreado y está muerto.

Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

15 Entonces Jezabel, al enterarse de que Nabot había sido apedreado y estaba muerto, le dijo a Acab: Levántate y toma como herencia el viñedo de Nabot Jezreelita, que no te daría por dinero, porque Nabot ya no vive sino que está muerto.

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

16 Acab, al enterarse de que Nabot había muerto, bajó al viñedo de Nabot, el Jezreelita, para tomarlo como herencia.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.

17 Entonces vino la palabra del Señor a Elías de Tisbe, diciendo:

And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

18 Desciende a Acab, rey de Israel, en Samaria; Mira, él está en el huerto de Nabot de Jezreel, donde ha ido a tomarlo como su herencia.

Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down to take possession of it.

19 Dile: El Señor dice: ¿Has matado a un hombre y has tomado su herencia? Entonces dile: El Señor dice: En el lugar donde los perros han estado bebiendo la sangre de Nabot, tu sangre se convertirá en la bebida de los perros.

And thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Have thou killed and also taken possession? And thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

20 Y Acab dijo a Elías: ¿Te has encontrado cara a cara conmigo, oh mi enemigo? Y él dijo: He venido a ti porque te has entregado a hacer el mal a los ojos del Señor.

And Ahab said to Elijah, Have thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee because thou have sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah.

21 Mira, te enviaré el mal y te acabaré por completo, cortando de Acab a todo hijo varón, al que está callado y al que sale libre en Israel;

Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel.

22 Haré que tu familia sea como la familia de Jeroboam, el hijo de Nebat, y como la familia de Baasa, el hijo de Ahías, porque me has hecho enojar, y has hecho que Israel haga el mal.

And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which thou have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.

23 Y de Jezabel, el Señor dijo: Jezabel se convertirá en alimento para perros en la herencia de Jezreel.

And Jehovah spoke also of Jezebel, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

24 Cualquier hombre de la familia de Acab que muera en la ciudad se convertirá en alimento para los perros; y el que muera en campo abierto será alimento para las aves del aire.

He who dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat, and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.

25 No había nadie como Acab, que se entregó a sí mismo para hacer el mal a los ojos del Señor, incitado por Jezabel su esposa.

(But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

26 Hizo algo muy desagradable al perseguir a dioses falsos, haciendo todas las cosas que hicieron, a quienes el Señor había echado de delante de los hijos de Israel.

And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did whom Jehovah cast out before the sons of Israel.)

27 Al oír estas palabras, Acab, con gran dolor, se humilló; se puso ropas ásperas y ayuno, durmiendo con la misma ropa y andando en silencio.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

28 Entonces vino la palabra del Señor a Elías de Tisbe, diciendo:

And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

29 ¿Ves cómo Acab se humilló ante mí? porque él se ha humillado ante mí, no enviaré el mal en su vida, pero en el tiempo de su hijo enviaré el mal a su familia.

See thou how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
