BES Bible in Simple Spanish (2026) WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon) 1 Nabot, de Jezreel, tenía una viña junto al palacio de Acab, rey de Samaria. 1 After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 Acab le dijo: «Dame tu viña para hacer un huerto, ya que está cerca de mi palacio. Te daré otra mejor a cambio o, si prefieres, te pagaré su valor». 2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3 Nabot respondió: «¡Que el Señor no permita que yo te entregue la herencia de mis antepasados!». 3 Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
4 Acab regresó a casa amargado y furioso porque Nabot se había negado a entregarle la herencia de sus antepasados. Se acostó de cara a la pared y no quiso comer. 4 Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Su esposa Jezabel entró y le preguntó: «¿Por qué estás tan disgustado que no quieres comer?». 5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
6 Acab respondió: «Le pedí a Nabot, de Jezreel, que me vendiera su viña o la cambiara por otra. Me dijo que no me la daría». 6 He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
7 Jezabel le dijo: «¿No eres tú el rey de Israel? Levántate, come y alégrate. Yo te conseguiré la viña de Nabot». 7 Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 Jezabel escribió cartas en nombre de Acab, las selló con su sello y las envió a los ancianos y principales de la ciudad donde vivía Nabot. 8 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 En ellas ordenaba: «Proclamen un día de ayuno y hagan que Nabot ocupe un lugar destacado ante el pueblo. 9 She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
10 Sienten frente a él a dos hombres sin escrúpulos para que lo acusen de haber maldecido a Dios y al rey. Luego sáquenlo de la ciudad y mátenlo a pedradas». 10 Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
11 Los ancianos y principales de la ciudad hicieron lo que Jezabel les había ordenado por carta. 11 The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
12 Proclamaron un ayuno y pusieron a Nabot en un lugar destacado ante el pueblo. 12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 Entonces los dos hombres se sentaron frente a él y declararon ante todos: «Nabot maldijo a Dios y al rey». Lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo apedrearon hasta matarlo. 13 The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 Después avisaron a Jezabel: «Nabot ha muerto apedreado». 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
15 Jezabel dijo a Acab: «Levántate y toma la viña de Nabot, de Jezreel. Él no quiso vendértela, pero ahora está muerto». 15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 Cuando Acab supo que Nabot había muerto, bajó a tomar posesión de su viña. 16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Entonces el Señor habló a Elías, de Tisbe: 17 Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 «Ve a ver a Acab, rey de Israel en Samaria. Está en la viña de Nabot, adonde bajó para tomar posesión de ella. 18 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
19 Dile: “El Señor dice: ¿Mataste a un hombre y además te apoderaste de su herencia?”. Luego anúnciale: “El Señor dice: En el lugar donde los perros lamieron la sangre de Nabot, también lamerán la tuya”». 19 You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
20 Acab dijo a Elías: «¿Me has encontrado, enemigo mío?». Elías respondió: «Sí. Te has entregado a hacer lo malo ante los ojos del Señor. 20 Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.
21 El Señor dice: “Traeré desgracia sobre ti y acabaré con tu familia. No dejaré con vida a ninguno de tus varones en Israel, sea esclavo o libre. 21 Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
22 Haré con tu familia lo mismo que hice con la de Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y con la de Baasa, hijo de Ahías, porque has provocado mi enojo y has llevado a Israel a pecar”. 22 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 Sobre Jezabel, el Señor dice: “Los perros comerán su cuerpo en el terreno de Jezreel”. 23 Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
24 A los de la familia de Acab que mueran en la ciudad los comerán los perros; a los que mueran en el campo los comerán las aves». 24 The dogs will eat whoever dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat whoever dies in the field.”
25 Nunca hubo nadie como Acab, que se entregó a hacer lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, animado por su esposa Jezabel. 25 But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 Hizo cosas detestables al seguir a los ídolos y practicó las costumbres de los amorreos, a quienes el Señor había expulsado ante Israel. 26 He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
27 Al escuchar estas palabras, Acab rasgó su ropa, se vistió con tela áspera y ayunó. Dormía vestido así y caminaba abatido. 27 When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 Entonces el Señor dijo a Elías, de Tisbe: 28 Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 «¿Has visto cómo Acab se ha humillado ante mí? Como se ha humillado, no traeré esta desgracia mientras él viva. La traeré sobre su familia en tiempos de su hijo». 29 “See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
