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;
It came about, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the Negev and on Ziklag. They attacked Ziklag, burned it,
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 captured the women and everyone who was in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off as they 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.
When David and his men came to the city, it was burned, 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 that were with him raised their voices 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 Jezreelite woman, 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 were talking about stoning him, for all the people were bitter in spirit, each man for his sons and daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh, 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 son of Ahimelech, the priest, “I beg you, bring the ephod here for 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 prayed to Yahweh for direction, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” Yahweh answered him, “Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will surely recover everything.”
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; they 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 kept pursuing, he and four hundred men; for two hundred had stayed behind, who were so weak 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 a field and brought him to David; they gave him bread, and he ate; 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.
and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, he gained strength again, for he had eaten no bread nor drunk any 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 said to him, “To whom do you belong? Where do you come from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; my master left me because three days ago 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 a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and what belongs to Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag.”
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 raiding party?” The Egyptian said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or betray me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this raiding party.”
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 the Egyptian had brought David down, the raiders were spread out over all the ground, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the booty they had taken out of the land of the Philistines and from 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 attacked them from the twilight to the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped except for 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.
Nothing was missing, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither booty, nor anything that the raiders had taken for themselves. David brought back everything.
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 the men drove ahead of the other cattle. They said, “This is David's booty.”
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 had been too weak to follow him, the ones the others had made to stay at the brook Besor. These men went ahead to meet David and the people who were with him. When David came to these 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 among those who had gone with David said, “Because these men did not go with us, we will not give them any of the booty that we have recovered. Except that each man may take his wife and children, lead them away, and go.”
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, “You must not act like this, my brothers, with what Yahweh has given to us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the raiders who came against us.
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 the share is for anyone who goes into battle, so also will the share be for anyone who waits by the baggage; they will share and share alike.”
25 Y así lo hizo una regla y una orden para Israel desde ese día hasta ahora.
It has been so from that day to this day, for David made it a statute and a decree for Israel.
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 booty to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “See, here is a present for you from the booty from Yahweh's enemies.”
27 Envió regalos a los que estaban en Bet-el, en Ramá del Sur y en Jatir;
He also sent some to the elders who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 A los de Aroer y Estemoa.
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa.
29 En Racal y en los pueblos de Jerameel, y en los pueblos de los Ceneos;
He also sent some to the elders who were in Rakal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 En Horma y en Corasan y en Atac;
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athak,
31 En Hebrón, y en todos los lugares donde habían vivido David y sus hombres.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men habitually went.
