Kings III 21
1 And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
Pasados estos negocios, aconteció que Nabot de Jezrael tenía una viña en Jezrael, junto al palacio de Acab rey de Samaria.
2 And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
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 And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
Y Nabot respondió a Acab: Guárdeme Jehová de que yo te dé a ti la heredad de mis padres.
4 And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
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 and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
Y vino a él su mujer Jezabel y díjole: ¿Por qué está así triste tu espíritu? ¿y no comes pan?
6 struck each one the man next to him; and each one a second time struck the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
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 And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and struck [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
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 the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen yourself, and observe, and see what you shall do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against you.
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 the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
Y las cartas que escribió decían así: Pregonád ayuno: y ponéd a Nabot en la cabecera del pueblo:
10 And do you this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
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 And we will give you [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he listened to their voice, and did so.
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 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
Y pregonaron ayuno, y asentaron a Nabot en la cabecera del pueblo.
13 And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
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 there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus says the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into your hand, and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
Y enviaron luego a Jezabel, diciendo: Nabot es apedreado, y muerto.
15 And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel struck Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
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 the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
Y oyendo Acab que Nabot era muerto, levántose para descender a la viña de Nabot de Jezrael, para tomar la posesión de ella.
17 And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
Entonces fue palabra de Jehová a Elías Tesbita, diciendo:
18 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Your servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray you. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
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 the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Your brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go you in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
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 he said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore to you; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let you go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
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 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the Lord, Strike me, I pray, And the man would not strike him.
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 he said to him, Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as you depart from me, a lion shall strike you: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and struck him.
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 he finds another man, and says, Strike me, I pray you. And the man struck him, and in striking wounded [him].
De Jezabel también ha hablado Jehová, diciendo: Los perros comerán a Jezabel en la barbacana de Jezrael.
24 And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
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 it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Your servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then your life shall go for his life, or you shall pay a talent of silver.
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 it came to pass, that your servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, you have also destroyed snares [set] for me.
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 And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
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 he said to him, Thus says the Lord, Because you have suffered to escape out of your hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
Entonces fue palabra de Jehová a Elías Tesbita, diciendo:
29 And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
¿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.
