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 events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the 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 Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.

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

And Naboth said to Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto 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 Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.

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 Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?

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 unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto 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.

Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.

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 Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near 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 cause Naboth to sit at the head of 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 seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may die.

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, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

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

They proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of 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 there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

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

And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been 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 Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, 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 Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, to take possession of it.

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

And the word of the Lord 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 Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is 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 shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.

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 Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.

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 I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified 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 Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced Israel to sin.

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

And also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.

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.

Him that dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls 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 indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.

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 acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from before the children 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 Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.

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

And the word of the Lord 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.

Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son will I bring the evil upon his house.
