1 Kings 15

1 Then, in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah.

En el año dieciocho del rey Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, Abiyam comenzó a reinar sobre Judá.

2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

Reinó tres años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Maaca, hija de Abisalón.

3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him. Neither was his heart perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.

Anduvo en todos los pecados de su padre, que había hecho antes de él, y su corazón no era perfecto con Yahvé su Dios, como el corazón de David su padre.

4 But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, so that he might raise up his son after him, and so that he might establish Jerusalem.

Sin embargo, por causa de David, Yahvé su Dios le dio una lámpara en Jerusalén, para que pusiera a su hijo después de él y para que estableciera a Jerusalén;

5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and he had not declined from all of the things that he had instructed to him, during all the days of his life, except the matter of Uriah, the Hittite.

porque David hizo lo que era justo a los ojos de Yahvé, y no se apartó de nada de lo que le mandó en todos los días de su vida, excepto solamente en el asunto de Urías el hitita.

6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during the entire time of his life.

Hubo guerra entre Roboam y Jeroboam todos los días de su vida.

7 And the rest of the words of Abijam, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And there was fighting between Abijam and Jeroboam.

Los demás hechos de Abijam, y todo lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá? Hubo guerra entre Abijam y Jeroboam.

8 And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa, his son, reigned in his place.

Abijam durmió con sus padres, y lo enterraron en la ciudad de David; y su hijo Asa reinó en su lugar.

9 Then, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel, Asa reigned as king of Judah.

En el vigésimo año de Jeroboam, rey de Israel, Asa comenzó a reinar sobre Judá.

10 And he reigned for forty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

Reinó cuarenta y un años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Maaca, hija de Abisalón.

11 And Asa did what was right before the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did.

Asá hizo lo que era justo a los ojos de Yahvé, como lo hizo su padre David.

12 And he took away the effeminate from the land. And he purged all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

Expulsó a los sodomitas del país y eliminó todos los ídolos que habían hecho sus padres.

13 Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.

También destituyó a su madre Maacá como reina, porque había hecho una imagen abominable como Asera. Asa cortó su imagen y la quemó en el arroyo Cedrón.

14 But the high places, he did not take away. Yet truly, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord during all his days.

Pero los lugares altos no fueron quitados. Sin embargo, el corazón de Asa fue perfecto con Yahvé todos sus días.

15 And he brought the things that his father had sanctified and vowed back to the house of the Lord: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels.

Llevó a la casa de Yahvé las cosas que su padre había dedicado, y las que él mismo había dedicado: plata, oro y utensilios.

16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

Hubo guerra entre Asa y Baasa, rey de Israel, durante todos sus días.

17 And Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he built up Ramah, so that no one would be able to exit or enter from the side of Asa, the king of Judah.

Baasa, rey de Israel, subió contra Judá y edificó Ramá, para no permitir que nadie saliera ni entrara a Asa, rey de Judá.

18 And so, Asa took all the silver and the gold which had remained in the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave it into the hands of his servants. And he sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:

Entonces Asa tomó toda la plata y el oro que quedaba en los tesoros de la casa de Yahvé y en los tesoros de la casa del rey, y lo entregó en manos de sus servidores. Entonces el rey Asá los envió a Ben Hadad, hijo de Tabrimón, hijo de Hezión, rey de Siria, que vivía en Damasco, diciendo:

19 “There is a pact between me and you, and between my father and your father. For this reason, I have sent to you gifts of silver and of gold. And I ask you to go and break your pact with Baasha, the king of Israel, so that he may withdraw from me.”

“Que haya un tratado entre tú y yo, como el que hubo entre mi padre y tu padre. He aquí que te he enviado un presente de plata y oro. Ve, rompe tu tratado con Baasa, rey de Israel, para que se aparte de mí”.

20 Benhadad, acquiescing to king Asa, sent the leaders of his army against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel, the house of Maacah, and all of Chinneroth, that is, all the land of Naphtali.

Ben Hadad escuchó al rey Asá y envió a los capitanes de sus ejércitos contra las ciudades de Israel, y atacó a Ijón, a Dan, a Abel Bet Maaca y a toda Cinerot, con toda la tierra de Neftalí.

21 And when Baasha had heard this, he ceased from fortifying Ramah, and he returned to Tirzah.

Cuando Baasa se enteró de esto, dejó de construir Rama y vivió en Tirsa.

22 Then king Asa sent an announcement to all of Judah, saying, “Let no one be excused.” And they took away the stones from Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had fortified it. And from these things, king Asa built up Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

Entonces el rey Asá hizo una proclama a todo Judá. Nadie quedó exento. Se llevaron las piedras de Rama y su madera, con las que Baasa había construido; y el rey Asa las utilizó para construir Geba de Benjamín y Mizpa.

23 Now all the rest of the words of Asa, and his entire strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? Yet truly, in the time of his old age, he was afflicted in his feet.

El resto de todos los hechos de Asa, y todo su poderío, y todo lo que hizo, y las ciudades que edificó, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá? Pero en el tiempo de su vejez enfermó de los pies.

24 And he slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place.

Asa durmió con sus padres y fue sepultado con ellos en la ciudad de su padre David; y su hijo Josafat reinó en su lugar.

25 Yet truly, Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.

Nadab hijo de Jeroboam comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en el segundo año de Asa, rey de Judá; y reinó sobre Israel dos años.

26 And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of his father and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.

Hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, y anduvo en el camino de su padre, y en su pecado con que hizo pecar a Israel.

27 Then Baasha, the son of Ahijah, from the house of Issachar, set an ambush against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, which is a city of the Philistines. For indeed, Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

Baasa, hijo de Ajías, de la casa de Isacar, conspiró contra él; y Baasa lo hirió en Gibbetón, que era de los filisteos, pues Nadab y todo Israel estaban sitiando Gibbetón.

28 And so Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, and he reigned in his place.

En el tercer año de Asa, rey de Judá, Baasa lo mató y reinó en su lugar.

29 And when he had reigned, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. He did not leave behind even one soul from his offspring, until he had wiped him away, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite,

Tan pronto como fue rey, golpeó a toda la casa de Jeroboam. No dejó a Jeroboam ni un solo aliento, hasta que lo destruyó, según la palabra de Yahvé, que habló por medio de su siervo Ahías, el silonita;

30 because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had committed, and by which he had caused Israel to sin, and because of the offense by which he had provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.

por los pecados de Jeroboam que cometió y con los que hizo pecar a Israel, a causa de su provocación con la que hizo enojar a Yahvé, el Dios de Israel.

31 But the rest of the words of Nadab, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

El resto de los hechos de Nadab y todo lo que hizo, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?

32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

Hubo guerra entre Asa y Baasa, rey de Israel, durante todos sus días.

33 In the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, reigned over all of Israel, at Tirzah, for twenty-four years.

En el tercer año de Asá, rey de Judá, Baasa hijo de Ahías comenzó a reinar sobre todo Israel en Tirsa durante veinticuatro años.

34 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.

Hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, y anduvo en el camino de Jeroboam, y en su pecado con que hizo pecar a Israel.
