WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 El Señor habló a Jehú, hijo de Hananí, contra Baasa:
1 Yahweh’s word came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2 «Te levanté del polvo y te hice gobernante de mi pueblo Israel. Pero seguiste los caminos de Jeroboam y llevaste a mi pueblo a pecar, provocando mi enojo.
2 “Because I exalted you out of the dust and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins,
3 Por eso acabaré contigo y con tu familia. Haré con tu familia lo mismo que hice con la de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat.
3 behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4 A los de la familia de Baasa que mueran en la ciudad los comerán los perros; a los que mueran en el campo los comerán las aves».
4 The dogs will eat Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.”
5 Los demás hechos de Baasa, sus obras y su poder, están escritos en el libro de la historia de los reyes de Israel.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6 Baasa murió y fue sepultado en Tirsá. Su hijo Ela reinó en su lugar.
6 Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 El Señor pronunció estas palabras contra Baasa y su familia por medio del profeta Jehú, hijo de Hananí. Baasa había hecho lo malo ante sus ojos, provocándolo con sus obras como lo había hecho la familia de Jeroboam, y además había exterminado a esa familia.
7 Moreover Yahweh’s word came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
8 Ela, hijo de Baasa, comenzó a reinar en Tirsá sobre Israel en el año veintiséis de Asa, rey de Judá. Reinó dos años.
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.
9 Zimri, uno de sus servidores y jefe de la mitad de sus carros de guerra, conspiró contra él. Un día Ela estaba en Tirsá, bebiendo hasta embriagarse en la casa de Arsa, el encargado del palacio.
9 His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah;
10 Zimri entró, lo atacó y lo mató. Esto sucedió en el año veintisiete de Asa, rey de Judá. Zimri reinó en su lugar.
10 and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11 En cuanto ocupó el trono, mató a todos los varones de la familia de Baasa. No dejó con vida a ninguno de sus parientes ni amigos.
11 When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his friends.
12 Así Zimri exterminó a la familia de Baasa y se cumplió lo que el Señor había anunciado por medio del profeta Jehú.
12 Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
13 Esto sucedió por los pecados de Baasa y de su hijo Ela, con los que llevaron a Israel a pecar y provocaron el enojo del Señor, Dios de Israel, mediante sus ídolos inútiles.
13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
14 Los demás hechos de Ela están escritos en el libro de la historia de los reyes de Israel.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 Zimri comenzó a reinar en Tirsá en el año veintisiete de Asa, rey de Judá, y reinó siete días. Mientras tanto, el ejército sitiaba Guibetón, ciudad de los filisteos.
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16 En el campamento se supo que Zimri había conspirado y matado al rey. Aquel mismo día el ejército de Israel nombró rey a Omri, su jefe.
16 The people who were encamped heard that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17 Omri salió de Guibetón con todo el ejército de Israel y sitió Tirsá.
17 Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18 Cuando Zimri vio que la ciudad había sido tomada, entró en la parte más protegida del palacio, le prendió fuego y murió entre las llamas.
18 When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and died,
19 Esto sucedió por sus pecados: hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, siguió el camino de Jeroboam y participó en los pecados con que este había llevado a Israel a pecar.
19 for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make Israel to sin.
20 Los demás hechos de Zimri y su conspiración están escritos en el libro de la historia de los reyes de Israel.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21 Entonces el pueblo de Israel se dividió en dos bandos. Una mitad quería hacer rey a Tibni, hijo de Guinat; la otra apoyaba a Omri.
21 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
22 Los partidarios de Omri vencieron a los de Tibni. Murieron Tibni y su hermano Joram, y Omri llegó a ser rey.
22 But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
23 Omri comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en el año treinta y uno de Asa, rey de Judá. Reinó doce años, seis de ellos en Tirsá.
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.
24 Compró a Sémer el monte de Samaria por dos talentos de plata. Allí construyó una ciudad y la llamó Samaria, por el nombre de Sémer, antiguo dueño del monte.
24 He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
25 Omri hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, aún más que todos los reyes anteriores.
25 Omri did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.
26 Siguió los malos caminos de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y los pecados con que este había llevado a Israel a pecar, provocando al Señor, Dios de Israel, con sus ídolos inútiles.
26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
27 Los demás hechos de Omri y las victorias que obtuvo están escritos en el libro de la historia de los reyes de Israel.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 Omri murió y fue sepultado en Samaria. Su hijo Acab reinó en su lugar.
28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
29 Acab, hijo de Omri, comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en el año treinta y ocho de Asa, rey de Judá. Reinó veintidós años en Samaria.
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30 Acab hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, más que todos los que lo habían precedido.
30 Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight above all that were before him.
31 No le bastó con repetir los pecados de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat. Se casó con Jezabel, hija de Et-baal, rey de Sidón, y comenzó a servir y adorar a Baal.
31 As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.
32 Construyó un templo para Baal en Samaria y levantó allí un altar.
32 He raised up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
33 También hizo una imagen de Asera. Acab provocó el enojo del Señor, Dios de Israel, más que todos los reyes de Israel anteriores.
33 Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more yet to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
34 Durante su reinado, Jiel reconstruyó Jericó. Al poner sus cimientos perdió a Abiram, su hijo mayor, y al colocar sus puertas perdió a Segub, su hijo menor. Así se cumplió lo que el Señor había dicho por medio de Josué, hijo de Nun.
34 In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho. He laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
