1 Kings 13
1 And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.
Y he aquí que un varón de Dios, por palabra de Jehová, vino de Judá a Bet-el: y estando Jeroboam al altar para quemar perfumes.
2 And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’”
El clamó contra el altar por palabra de Jehová, y dijo: Altar, altar, así dijo Jehová: He aquí que a la casa de David nacerá un hijo, llamado Josías, el cual sacrificará sobre ti a los sacerdotes de los altos que queman sobre ti perfumes; y sobre ti quemarán huesos de hombres.
3 And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”
Y aquel mismo día dio una señal diciendo: Esta es la señal que Jehová ha hablado: he aquí que el altar se quebrará, y la ceniza que sobre él está se derramará.
4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.
Y como el rey oyó la palabra del varón de Dios, que había clamado contra el altar en Bet-el, extendiendo su mano desde el altar, Jeroboam dijo: Prendédle: mas la mano, que había extendido contra él, se le secó, que no la pudo tornar a sí.
5 Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.
Y el altar se rompió, y la ceniza se derramó del altar, conforme a la señal que el varón de Dios había dado por palabra de Jehová.
6 And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.
Entonces respondiendo el rey, y dijo al varón de Dios: Yo te ruego que ruegues a la faz de Jehová tu Dios, y ora por mí, que mi mano me sea restituida. Y el varón de Dios oró a la faz de Jehová, y la mano del rey se volvió a él, y se tornó como antes.
7 Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”
Y el rey dijo al varón de Dios: Ven conmigo a casa, y comerás, y yo te daré don.
8 And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.
Mas el varón de Dios dijo al rey: Si me dieses la mitad de tu casa, no iría contigo, ni comería pan, ni bebería agua en este lugar:
9 For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’”
Porque así me es mandado por palabra de Jehová, diciendo: No comas pan, ni bebas agua, ni vuelvas por el camino que fueres.
10 Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.
Y así se vino por otro camino, y no volvió por el camino por donde había venido a Bet-el.
11 Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.
Y moraba en Bet-el un viejo profeta, al cual vino su hijo, y contóle todo el hecho que el varón de Dios había hecho aquel día en Bet-el: y contaron a su padre las palabras que había hablado al rey.
12 And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.
Y su padre les dijo: ¿Por qué camino fue? Y sus hijos le mostraron el camino por donde se había tornado el varón de Dios, que había venido de Judá.
13 And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
Y él dijo a sus hijos: Enalbardádme el asno. Y ellos le enalbardaron el asno, y subió en él.
14 and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”
Y yendo tras el varón de Dios, hallóle que estaba sentado debajo de un alcornoque: y díjole: ¿Eres tú el varón de Dios, que veniste de Judá? Y él dijo: Yo soy.
15 And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”
Y él le dijo: Ven conmigo a casa, y come del pan.
16 But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.
Y él respondió: No podré volver contigo, ni iré contigo: ni tampoco comeré pan, ni beberé agua contigo en este lugar;
17 For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”
Porque por palabra de Dios me ha sido dicho: No comas pan, ni bebas agua allá: ni vuelvas por el camino que fueres.
18 And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’” And so he deceived him.
Y el otro le dijo: Yo también soy profeta como tú; y un ángel me ha hablado por palabra de Jehová, diciendo: Vuélvele contigo a tu casa, para que coma pan, y bebe agua. Mintióle.
19 And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
Entonces volvió con él; y comió del pan en su casa, y bebió del agua.
20 And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
Y aconteció que estando ellos a la mesa, fue palabra de Jehová al profeta que le había hecho volver:
21 And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,
Y clamó al varón de Dios, que había venido de Judá, diciendo: Así dijo Jehová: Por cuanto has sido rebelde al dicho de Jehová, y no guardaste el mandamiento que Jehová tu Dios te había mandado,
22 and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”
Antes volviste, y comiste del pan, y bebiste del agua en el lugar donde Jehová te había dicho, que ni comieses pan, ni bebieses agua, no entrará tu cuerpo en el sepulcro de tus padres.
23 And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
Y como hubo comido del pan, y bebido, el profeta que le había hecho volver le enalbardó un asno:
24 And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
Y yéndose, topóle un león en el camino, y le mató; y su cuerpo estaba echado en el camino, y el asno estaba junto a él, y el león también estaba junto al cuerpo.
25 And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.
Y, he aquí, unos que pasaban, y vieron el cuerpo que estaba echado en el camino, y el león que estaba junto al cuerpo; y vinieron, y lo dijeron en la ciudad donde el viejo profeta habitaba.
26 And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”
Y oyéndolo el profeta que le había vuelto del camino, dijo: Varón de Dios es, que fue rebelde al dicho de Jehová: por tanto Jehová le ha entregado al león, que le ha quebrantado y muerto, conforme a la palabra de Jehová, que él le dijo.
27 And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,
Y habló a sus hijos, y díjoles: Enalbardádme un asno. Y ellos se le enalbardaron.
28 and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.
Y él fue, y halló su cuerpo tendido en el camino, y el asno y el león estaban junto al cuerpo: el león no había comido el cuerpo, ni dañado al asno.
29 Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.
Y tomando el profeta el cuerpo del varón de Dios, púsole sobre el asno, y tornóle. Y el profeta viejo vino a la ciudad, para endecharle y enterrarle.
30 And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”
Y puso su cuerpo en su sepulcro: y endecháronle, diciendo: ¡Ay, hermano mío!
31 And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.
Y después que le hubieron enterrado habló a sus hijos, diciendo: Cuando yo muriere, enterrádme en el sepulcro en que está sepultado el varón de Dios: ponéd mis huesos junto a los suyos;
32 For certainly, the word will arrive, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”
Porque sin duda vendrá lo que él dijo a voces por palabra de Jehová contra el altar que está en Bet-el, y contra todas las casas de los altos, que están en las ciudades de Samaria.
33 After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.
Después de esta palabra no se tornó Jeroboam de su camino malo; antes volvió, e hizo sacerdotes de los altos parte del pueblo, y quien quería se consagraba, y era de los sacerdotes de los altos.
34 And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
Y esto fue causa de pecado a la casa de Jeroboam, por lo cual fue cortada y raída de sobre la haz de la tierra.
