1 Kings 11
1 King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].
Mas el rey Salomón amó muchas mujeres extranjeras, y a la hija de Faraón; a las de Moab, a las de Ammón, a las de Idumea, a las de Sidón, a las Jetteas:
2 He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”
De las gentes de las cuales Jehová había dicho a los hijos de Israel: No entraréis a ellas, ni ellas entrarán a vosotros: porque ciertamente ellas harán inclinar vuestros corazones tras sus dioses. A estas pues se juntó Salomón con amor.
3 Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].
Y tuvo setecientas mujeres reinas, y trescientas concubinas; y sus mujeres hicieron inclinar su corazón.
4 By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.
Y ya que Salomón era viejo, sus mujeres inclinaron su corazón tras dioses ajenos, y su corazón no era perfecto con Jehová su Dios, como el corazón de su padre David.
5 Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
Porque Salomón siguió a Astarot, dios de los Sidonios: y a Melcom, abominación de los Ammonitas.
6 That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.
E hizo Salomón lo malo en ojos de Jehová, y no fue cumplidamente tras Jehová, como su padre David.
7 On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
Entonces edificó Salomón un alto a Camos, abominación de Moab, en el monte que está enfrente de Jerusalem: y a Moloc, abominación de los hijos de Ammón.
8 He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
Y así hizo a todas sus mujeres extranjeras, las cuales quemaban perfumes, y sacrificaban a sus dioses.
9 Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,
Y Jehová se enojó contra Salomón, por cuanto su corazón era desviado de Jehová Dios de Israel, que le había aparecido dos veces,
Y le había mandado acerca de esto, que no siguiese a dioses ajenos: y él no guardó lo que le mandó Jehová.
11 and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.
Y dijo Jehová a Salomón: Por cuanto ha habido esto en ti, y no has guardado mi concierto, y mis estatutos que yo te mandé, yo romperé el reino de ti, y le entregaré a tu siervo.
12 But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].
Empero no lo haré en tus días por amor de David tu padre: mas yo le romperé de la mano de tu hijo.
13 But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”
Empero no romperé todo el reino, mas una tribu daré a tu hijo por amor de David mi siervo, y por amor de Jerusalem que yo he elegido.
14 Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
Y Jehová despertó un adversario a Salomón, a Adad, Idumeo, de la simiente real, el cual estaba en Edom.
15 What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.
Porque cuando David estaba en Edom, y subió Joab el general del ejército a enterrar los muertos, y mató a todos los varones de Edom,
(Porque seis meses habitó allí Joab, y todo Israel, hasta que hubo acabado a todo el sexo masculino en Edom, )
17 Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.
Entonces huyó Adad, y algunos varones Idumeos, de los siervos de su padre, con él, y vínose a Egipto; y Adad era entonces muchacho pequeño.
18 They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.
Y levantáronse de Madián, y vinieron a Parán, y tomando consigo varones de Farán, viniéronse a Egipto a Faraón rey de Egipto, el cual le dio casa, y le mandó dar ración, y también le dio tierra.
19 The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
Y halló Adad grande gracia delante de Faraón, el cual le dio a la hermana de su mujer por mujer, hermana de la reina Tafnes.
20 Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.
Y la hermana de Tafnes le parió a su hijo Genubat, al cual Tafnes destetó dentro de la casa de Faraón, y así estaba Genubat en casa de Faraón, entre los hijos de Faraón.
21 While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”
Y oyendo Adad en Egipto que David había dormido con sus padres, y que Joab general del ejército era muerto, Adad dijo a Faraón: Déjame ir a mi tierra.
22 But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].
Y Faraón le respondió: ¿Por qué? ¿Qué te falta conmigo, que procuras de irte a tu tierra? Y él respondió: Nada: con todo eso ruégote que me dejes ir.
23 God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].
Despertóle también Dios por adversario a Razón, hijo de Eliada, el cual había huido de su amo Adadezer rey de Soba.
24 Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.
Y había juntado gente contra él, y habíase hecho capitán de una compañía, cuando David los mató, y se fueron a Damasco, y habitaron allí, y reinaron en Damasco.
25 All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.
Y fue adversario a Israel todos los días de Salomón, y fue otro mal con él de Adad, porque aborreció a Israel, y reinó sobre la Siria.
26 Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.
Asimismo Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, Efrateo de Sareda, siervo de Salomón, (su madre se llamaba Serva, mujer viuda, ) alzó su mano contra el rey.
27 This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].
Y la causa porque este alzó mano contra el rey fue esta: Salomón edificando a Mello, cerró el portillo de la ciudad de David su padre:
28 Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.
Y el varón Jeroboam era valiente y esforzado: y viendo Salomón al mancebo que era hombre de hecho, encomendóle todo el cargo de la casa de José.
29 One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,
Aconteció pues en aquel tiempo, que saliendo Jeroboam de Jerusalem, hallóle Ahías, Silonita, profeta, en el camino, y él estaba cubierto con una capa nueva: y estaban ellos ambos solos en el campo.
30 which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
Y trabando Ahías de la capa nueva que tenía sobre sí, rompióla en doce pedazos;
31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].
Y dijo a Jeroboam: Tómate los diez pedazos: porque así dijo Jehová Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo rompo el reino de la mano de Salomón, y a ti daré diez tribus.
32 Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].
Y él tendrá la una tribu por amor de David mi siervo, y por amor de Jerusalem, la ciudad que yo he elegido de todas las tribus de Israel:
33 I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.
Por cuanto me han dejado, y han adorado a Astarot, diosa de los Sidonios, y a Camos, dios de Moab, y a Moloc, dios de los hijos de Ammón; y no han andado en mis caminos, para hacer lo que es recto delante de mis ojos, y mis estatutos, y mis derechos, como David su padre.
34 ‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.
Empero no quitaré nada de su reino de sus manos, mas yo le pondré por capitán todos los días de su vida, por amor de David mi siervo, al cual yo elegí, y él guardó mis mandamientos y mis estatutos.
35 But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
Mas yo quitaré el reino de la mano de su hijo, y dartelo he a ti, las diez tribus:
36 I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].
Y a su hijo daré una tribu, para que mi siervo David tenga lámpara todos los días delante de mi faz en Jerusalem, ciudad que yo me elegí para poner en ella mi nombre.
37 I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
Yo te tomaré pues a ti, y tu reinarás en todas las cosas que deseare tu alma: y serás rey sobre Israel.
38 If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.
Y será que si oyendo oyeres todas las cosas que yo te mandare, y anduvieres en mis caminos, e hicieres lo que es recto delante de mis ojos, guardando mis estatutos, y mis mandamientos, como hizo David mi siervo, yo seré contigo, y te edificaré casa firme, como la edifiqué a David, y yo te entregaré a Israel.
39 Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
Y yo afligiré la simiente de David a causa de esto, empero no para siempre.
40 Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.
Y procuró Salomón de matar a Jeroboam: mas levantándose Jeroboam huyó a Egipto a Sesac rey de Egipto: y estuvo en Egipto hasta la muerte de Salomón.
41 [A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.
Lo demás de los hechos de Salomón, y todas las cosas que hizo, y su sabiduría, ¿no están escritas en el libro de los hechos de Salomón?
42 He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
Y los días que Salomón reinó en Jerusalem sobre todo Israel, fueron cuarenta años.
43 Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
Y durmió Salomón con sus padres, y fue sepultado en la ciudad de David su padre: y reinó en su lugar Roboam su hijo.
