1 Kings 21
1 And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
Pasados estos negocios, aconteció que Nabot de Jezrael tenía una viña en Jezrael, junto al palacio de Acab rey de Samaria.
2 Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
Y Acab habló a Nabot, diciendo: Dáme tu viña para un huerto de legumbres, porque está cercana, cerca de mi casa, y yo te daré por ella otra viña mejor que esta: o si mejor te pareciere, pagártela he a su precio de dinero.
3 Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Y Nabot respondió a Acab: Guárdeme Jehová de que yo te dé a ti la heredad de mis padres.
4 Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
Y vínose Acab a su casa triste y enojado por la palabra que Nabot de Jezrael le había respondido, diciendo: No te daré la heredad de mis padres. Y acostóse en su cama, y volvió su rostro, y no comió pan.
5 Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
Y vino a él su mujer Jezabel y díjole: ¿Por qué está así triste tu espíritu? ¿y no comes pan?
6 And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’”
Y él respondió: Porque hablé con Nabot de Jezrael, y díjele, que me diese su viña por dinero: o que, si más quería, le daría otra viña por ella: y él respondió: Yo no te daré mi viña.
7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
Y su mujer Jezabel le dijo: ¿Eres tú ahora rey sobre Israel? Levántate, y come pan, y alégrate: yo te daré la viña de Nabot de Jezrael.
8 And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
Entonces ella escribió cartas en nombre de Acab, y sellólas con su anillo, y enviólas a los ancianos, y a los principales, que moraban en su ciudad con Nabot.
9 And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
Y las cartas que escribió decían así: Pregonád ayuno: y ponéd a Nabot en la cabecera del pueblo:
10 And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”
Y ponéd asimismo dos hombres, hijos de Belial, delante de él, que atestiguen contra él, y digan: Tú has blasfemado a Dios y al rey. Y entonces sacádle, y apedreádle, y muera.
11 Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
Y los de su ciudad, los ancianos y los principales, que moraban en su ciudad, lo hicieron como Jezabel les mandó, conforme a como estaba escrito en las cartas que ella les había enviado.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
Y pregonaron ayuno, y asentaron a Nabot en la cabecera del pueblo.
13 And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.
Y vinieron dos hombres, hijos de Belial, y sentáronse delante de él, y aquellos hombres, hijos de Belial, atestiguaron contra Nabot delante del pueblo, diciendo: Nabot ha blasfemado a Dios y al rey. Y sacáronle fuera de la ciudad, y apedreáronle con piedras, y murió.
14 And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”
Y enviaron luego a Jezabel, diciendo: Nabot es apedreado, y muerto.
15 Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
Y como Jezabel oyó, que Nabot era apedreado y muerto, dijo a Acab: Levántate, y posee la viña de Nabot de Jezrael, que no te la quiso dar por dinero: porque Nabot no vive, mas es muerto.
16 And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.
Y oyendo Acab que Nabot era muerto, levántose para descender a la viña de Nabot de Jezrael, para tomar la posesión de ella.
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Entonces fue palabra de Jehová a Elías Tesbita, diciendo:
18 “Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
Levántate, desciende a encontrarte con Acab rey de Israel, que está en Samaria: He aquí, el está en la viña de Nabot, a la cual ha descendido para tomar la posesión de ella.
19 And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’”
Y hablarle has, diciendo: Así dijo Jehová: ¿No mataste, y también has poseido? Y tornarle has a hablar, diciendo: Así dijo Jehová: En el mismo lugar donde lamieron los perros la sangre de Nabot, los perros también lamerán tu sangre, la tuya misma.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
Y Acab dijo a Elías: ¿Enemigo mío, me has ya hallado? Y él respondió: Te hallé, porque te has vendido a mal hacer delante de Jehová.
21 ‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
He aquí, yo traigo mal sobre ti, y barreré tu posteridad, y talaré de Acab todo meante a la pared, al guardado, y al desamparado en Israel.
22 And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
Y yo pondré tu casa como la casa de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y como la casa de Baasa, hijo de Ahías, por la provocación con que me provocaste a ira, y con que has hecho pecar a Israel.
23 And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
De Jezabel también ha hablado Jehová, diciendo: Los perros comerán a Jezabel en la barbacana de Jezrael.
24 If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’”
El que de Acab fuere muerto en la ciudad, perros lo comerán: y el que fuere muerto en el campo, comerle han las aves del cielo.
25 And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
A la verdad ninguno fue como Acab, que así se vendiese a hacer lo malo delante de los ojos de Jehová: porque Jezabel su mujer le incitaba.
26 And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
El fue en grande manera abominable, caminando en pos de los ídolos, conforme a todo lo que hicieron los Amorreos, a los cuales lanzó Jehová delante de los hijos de Israel.
27 Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
Y fue, cuando Acab oyó estas palabras, rompió sus vestidos, y puso saco sobre su carne, y ayunó, y durmió en saco, y anduvo humillado.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Entonces fue palabra de Jehová a Elías Tesbita, diciendo:
29 “Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”
¿No has visto como Acab se ha humillado delante de mí? Pues por cuanto se ha humillado delante de mí, no traeré el mal en sus días, en los días de su hijo traeré el mal sobre su casa.
