1 Samuel 30
1 Cuando David y sus hombres llegaron a Siclag el tercer día, los amalecitas atacaron el sur y Siclag, y vencieron a Siclag y lo incendiaron;
When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,
2 E hicieron a las mujeres y a todos los que estaban allí, grandes y pequeños, prisioneros. No habían matado a ninguno de ellos, sino que se los habían llevado a todos.
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 Y cuando David y sus hombres llegaron al pueblo, vieron que había sido incendiado, y que sus esposas y sus hijos e hijas habían sido hechos prisioneros.
When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
4 Entonces David y la gente que estaba con él se entregaron a llorar hasta que no pudieron seguir llorando.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
5 Y las dos esposas de David, Ahinoam de Jezreel y Abigail, la esposa de Nabal de Carmel, fueron hechas prisioneras.
David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Y David se turbó mucho; porque la gente hablaba de apedrearlo, porque sus corazones estaban amargados, todo el mundo estaba triste por sus hijos y sus hijas: pero David se fortaleció en el Señor su Dios.
David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
7 Y David dijo al sacerdote Abiatar, hijo de Ahimelec: Ven aquí a mí con el efod. Y Abiatar llevó el efod a David.
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 Entonces David, preguntando al Señor, dijo: ¿Voy a ir tras esta banda? ¿Podré sobrepasarlos? Y en respuesta, él dijo: Ve tras ellos, porque ciertamente los superarás y recuperarás todo.
David inquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
9 Entonces David fue, y sus seiscientos hombres fueron con él, y llegaron al arroyo Besor.
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 Y David, con cuatrocientos hombres, continuó: pero doscientos de ellos fueron vencidos por el cansancio, y no pudieron cruzar el arroyo.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 Y en el campo vieron a un egipcio que le llevaron a David, y le dieron pan, y él comió, y le dieron agua para beber;
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 Y le dieron parte de un pastel de higos y algunas uvas secas; y después de la comida, su espíritu regresó a él, ya que no había comido ni bebido durante tres días y 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, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
13 Y le dijo David: ¿De quién eres y de dónde vienes? Y él dijo: Soy un joven de Egipto, siervo de un amalecita; y mi amo siguió sin mí porque tres días atrás me 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 got sick.
14 Hicimos un ataque en la parte sur del país de los cereteos, y en la tierra de Judá, y en el sur de Caleb; Y le prendimos fuego a Siclag.
We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
15 Y David le dijo: ¿Me llevarás a esta banda? Y él dijo: Si me das tu juramento de que no me matarás ni me entregarás a mi amo, te llevaré con ellos.
David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
16 Y Cuando lo llevó, los vieron a todos, sentados por todos lados, festejando y bebiendo entre toda la cantidad de bienes que habían tomado de la tierra de los filisteos y de la tierra de Judá.
When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 Y David siguió luchando contra ellos desde la tarde hasta la tarde del día siguiente; y ninguno de ellos se escapó, sino solo cuatrocientos jóvenes que salieron en vuelo en camellos.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
18 Y David recuperó todo lo que los amalecitas habían tomado; y rescato a sus dos esposas.
David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
19 No hubo pérdida de nada, pequeño o grande, hijos o hijas o bienes o cualquier cosa que se hubieran llevado: David lo recuperó todo.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
20 Y tomaron todos los rebaños y las manadas, y llevándolos delante de él, dijeron: Estos son los de David.
David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
21 Y vino David a los doscientos hombres que, debido al cansancio, no habían ido con él, sino que esperaban en la corriente de Besor: y salieron a encontrarse con David y la gente que estaba con él; Y cuando se acercaron a ellos, dijeron: ¿Cómo estás?
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
22 Entonces los hombres perversos entre los que fueron con David dijeron: Porque no fueron con nosotros, no les daremos nada de los bienes que hemos recibido, sino solo a cada hombre. Su esposa e hijos, para que él los tome y se vaya.
Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
23 Entonces dijo David: No deben hacer esto, hermanos míos, después de lo que el Señor nos ha dado, que nos ha mantenido a salvo y ha dejado la banda que vino contra nosotros en nuestras manos.
Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24 ¿Quién te va a prestar atención en este asunto? porque se le dará una parte igual al que fue a la pelea y al que estaba esperando junto a los bienes, todos deben tener lo mismo.
Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
25 Y así lo hizo una regla y una orden para Israel desde ese día hasta ahora.
It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 Cuando David llegó a Siclag, envió algunos de los bienes a los hombres responsables de Judá y a sus amigos, diciendo: Aquí hay una ofrenda para ti de los bienes de los que luchaban contra el Señor;
When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
27 Envió regalos a los que estaban en Bet-el, en Ramá del Sur y en Jatir;
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
28 A los de Aroer y Estemoa.
to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 En Racal y en los pueblos de Jerameel, y en los pueblos de los Ceneos;
to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 En Horma y en Corasan y en Atac;
to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
31 En Hebrón, y en todos los lugares donde habían vivido David y sus hombres.
to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
