1 Aproximadamente un mes después, Nahas el amonita subió y sitió Jabes de Galaad. Todos los hombres de Jabes dijeron a Nahas: Haz un pacto con nosotros y te serviremos.
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
2 Nahas el amonita respondió: Haré un pacto con ustedes con esta condición: sacaré el ojo derecho a cada uno de ustedes, y así traeré vergüenza sobre todo Israel.
2 Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.”
3 Los ancianos de Jabes le dijeron: Danos siete días para enviar mensajeros por todo Israel. Si nadie viene a salvarnos, entonces nos entregaremos a ti.
3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
4 Los mensajeros llegaron a Guibeá, la ciudad de Saúl, y dieron la noticia al pueblo. Entonces todos comenzaron a llorar en voz alta.
4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5 Saúl venía del campo detrás de los bueyes y preguntó: ¿Qué le pasa al pueblo? ¿Por qué lloran? Le contaron lo que habían dicho los hombres de Jabes.
5 Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
6 Cuando Saúl oyó estas palabras, el Espíritu de Dios vino sobre él con poder y se llenó de ira.
6 God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.
7 Tomó dos bueyes, los cortó en pedazos y envió los pedazos por todo Israel por medio de mensajeros. Dijo: Esto mismo se hará con los bueyes de todo el que no salga a luchar siguiendo a Saúl y a Samuel. Entonces el temor del Señor cayó sobre el pueblo, y todos salieron como un solo hombre.
7 He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
8 Saúl los contó en Bezec. Había trescientos mil hombres de Israel y treinta mil de Judá.
8 He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Dijeron a los mensajeros que habían venido: Digan a los hombres de Jabes de Galaad: Mañana, cuando el sol esté alto, serán salvados. Los mensajeros regresaron con la noticia, y los hombres de Jabes se alegraron.
9 They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10 Entonces los hombres de Jabes dijeron a los amonitas: Mañana nos entregaremos a ustedes, y podrán hacernos lo que les parezca bien.
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
11 Al día siguiente Saúl dividió al pueblo en tres grupos. Durante la vigilancia de la mañana entraron en el campamento de los amonitas y los atacaron hasta el calor del día. Los que sobrevivieron huyeron tan dispersos que no quedaron dos juntos.
11 On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12 Entonces el pueblo dijo a Samuel: ¿Quiénes dijeron que Saúl no debía ser nuestro rey? Entréganos a esos hombres para que los matemos.
12 The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
13 Pero Saúl respondió: Hoy no morirá nadie, porque hoy el Señor ha salvado a Israel.
13 Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today Yahweh has rescued Israel.”
14 Samuel dijo al pueblo: Vengan, vayamos a Gilgal y confirmemos allí el reino de Saúl.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.”
15 Todo el pueblo fue a Gilgal, y allí hicieron rey a Saúl delante del Señor. Presentaron ofrendas de paz delante del Señor, y Saúl y todos los israelitas celebraron con gran alegría.
15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before Yahweh; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
