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;

And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten 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 the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on 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.

So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

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 that 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.

And David's two wives were taken captives, 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.

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in YHWH his Elohim.

7 Y David dijo al sacerdote Abiatar, hijo de Ahimelec: Ven aquí a mí con el efod. Y Abiatar llevó el efod a David.

And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither 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.

And David inquired at YHWH, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and 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 that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that 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 abode behind, which 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;

And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;

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.

And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, 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.

And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell 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 an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon 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.

And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by Elohim, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.

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.

And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil 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.

And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.

18 Y David recuperó todo lo que los amalecitas habían tomado; y rescato a sus dos esposas.

And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: 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.

And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

20 Y tomaron todos los rebaños y las manadas, y llevándolos delante de él, dijeron: Estos son los de David.

And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.

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?

And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted 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 answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they 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 said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which YHWH hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company 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.

For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

25 Y así lo hizo una regla y una orden para Israel desde ese día hasta ahora.

And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto 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;

And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of YHWH;

27 Envió regalos a los que estaban en Bet-el, en Ramá del Sur y en Jatir;

To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,

28 A los de Aroer y Estemoa.

And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,

29 En Racal y en los pueblos de Jerameel, y en los pueblos de los Ceneos;

And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,

30 En Horma y en Corasan y en Atac;

And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach,

31 En Hebrón, y en todos los lugares donde habían vivido David y sus hombres.

And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
