1 Le informaron a David: Los filisteos están atacando Queilá y robando el grano de las eras.
1 David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
2 David consultó al Señor: ¿Debo ir y atacar a estos filisteos? El Señor respondió: Ve, ataca a los filisteos y salva a Queilá.
2 Therefore David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” Yahweh said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
3 Pero los hombres de David le dijeron: Ya tenemos miedo aquí en Judá. ¡Cuánto más si vamos a Queilá contra los ejércitos filisteos!
3 David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
4 Entonces David volvió a consultar al Señor. El Señor respondió: Levántate y baja a Queilá, porque entregaré a los filisteos en tus manos.
4 Then David inquired of Yahweh yet again. Yahweh answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
5 David y sus hombres fueron a Queilá y lucharon contra los filisteos. Se llevaron su ganado y les causaron una gran derrota. Así David salvó a los habitantes de Queilá.
5 David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Cuando Abiatar, hijo de Ahimelec, huyó para reunirse con David en Queilá, llevó consigo el efod.
6 When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
7 Informaron a Saúl que David había llegado a Queilá. Saúl dijo: Dios lo ha entregado en mis manos, porque él mismo se ha encerrado al entrar en una ciudad con puertas y murallas.
7 Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
8 Saúl reunió a todo el pueblo para ir a la guerra, bajar a Queilá y atacar a David y sus hombres.
8 Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
9 David supo que Saúl preparaba algo malo contra él y dijo al sacerdote Abiatar: Trae aquí el efod.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
10 David dijo: Señor, Dios de Israel, tu siervo ha oído que Saúl piensa venir a Queilá y destruir la ciudad por causa de mí.
10 Then David said, “O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
11 ¿Es verdad que Saúl vendrá, como me han dicho? Señor, Dios de Israel, responde a tu siervo. El Señor respondió: Sí, vendrá.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” Yahweh said, “He will come down.”
12 David preguntó: ¿Los hombres de Queilá nos entregarán a mí y a mis hombres en manos de Saúl? El Señor respondió: Sí, los entregarán.
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” Yahweh said, “They will deliver you up.”
13 Entonces David y sus hombres, unos seiscientos, salieron de Queilá y fueron de un lugar a otro. Cuando Saúl supo que David había escapado de Queilá, no fue allí.
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
14 David permaneció en los refugios del desierto y en la región montañosa del desierto de Zif. Saúl lo buscaba todos los días, pero Dios no lo entregó en sus manos.
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.
15 David sabía que Saúl había salido para quitarle la vida. En ese tiempo David estaba en Hores, en el desierto de Zif.
15 David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
16 Jonatán, hijo de Saúl, fue a ver a David en Hores y lo animó a confiar en Dios.
16 Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
17 Le dijo: No tengas miedo. Mi padre Saúl no podrá atraparte. Tú serás rey de Israel y yo estaré a tu lado. Hasta mi padre Saúl sabe esto.
17 He said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
18 Los dos hicieron un pacto delante del Señor. David permaneció en Hores y Jonatán regresó a su casa.
18 They both made a covenant before Yahweh. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went to his house.
19 Entonces los habitantes de Zif fueron a ver a Saúl en Guibeá y le dijeron: David está escondido entre nosotros, en los refugios de Hores, en la colina de Haquila, al sur del desierto.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
20 Ahora, rey, baja cuando quieras. Nosotros lo entregaremos en tus manos.
20 Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
21 Saúl respondió: Que el Señor los bendiga por tener compasión de mí.
21 Saul said, “You are blessed by Yahweh, for you have had compassion on me.
22 Vayan y averigüen con más cuidado dónde está y quién lo ha visto allí, porque me dicen que es muy astuto para esconderse.
22 Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.
23 Averigüen todos los lugares donde se esconde. Luego vuelvan con información segura y yo iré con ustedes. Si está en esta tierra, lo buscaré entre todas las familias de Judá.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”
24 Ellos salieron y fueron a Zif antes que Saúl. David y sus hombres estaban en el desierto de Maón, en la llanura al sur del desierto.
24 They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
25 Saúl y sus hombres salieron a buscarlo. Cuando David se enteró, bajó a la roca del desierto de Maón. Saúl oyó esto y persiguió a David allí.
25 Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
26 Saúl avanzaba por un lado de la montaña y David con sus hombres por el otro. David trataba de escapar rápidamente de Saúl, mientras Saúl y sus hombres rodeaban a David y a los suyos para capturarlos.
26 Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
27 Pero llegó un mensajero y dijo a Saúl: Ven rápido, porque los filisteos han invadido la tierra.
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
28 Entonces Saúl dejó de perseguir a David y fue a luchar contra los filisteos. Por eso aquel lugar fue llamado Roca de la Separación.
28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
29 David salió de allí y se refugió en los lugares seguros de En-gadi.
29 David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
