1 Cuando Roboam consolidó su reino y se hizo fuerte, abandonó la ley del Señor, y todo Israel hizo lo mismo.
1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned Yahweh’s law, and all Israel with him.
2 En el quinto año del reinado de Roboam, Sisac, rey de Egipto, atacó Jerusalén, porque habían pecado contra el Señor.
2 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,
3 Llevaba mil doscientos carros de guerra y sesenta mil jinetes. Los soldados que lo acompañaban desde Egipto eran incontables: libios, suquienos y etíopes.
3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 Conquistó las ciudades fortificadas de Judá y llegó hasta Jerusalén.
4 He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 El profeta Semaías fue a Roboam y a los jefes de Judá, que se habían reunido en Jerusalén por la amenaza de Sisac. Les dijo: «Así dice el Señor: Ustedes me han abandonado; por eso yo los he entregado en manos de Sisac».
5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Yahweh says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
6 Los jefes de Israel y el rey se humillaron y dijeron: «El Señor es justo».
6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
7 Al ver que se habían humillado, el Señor le dijo a Semaías: «Se han humillado. No los destruiré; pronto los libraré. No derramaré mi ira sobre Jerusalén por medio de Sisac.
7 When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Sin embargo, quedarán al servicio de Sisac, para que aprendan la diferencia entre servirme a mí y servir a los reinos de otras naciones».
8 Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
9 Sisac, rey de Egipto, atacó Jerusalén y se llevó los tesoros del templo del Señor y del palacio real. Se lo llevó todo, incluso los escudos de oro que Salomón había hecho.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 El rey Roboam hizo escudos de bronce para reemplazarlos y los confió a los jefes de la guardia que vigilaba la entrada del palacio real.
10 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
11 Cada vez que el rey iba al templo del Señor, los guardias lo acompañaban con los escudos. Después los devolvían al cuarto de la guardia.
11 As often as the king entered into Yahweh’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
12 Como Roboam se humilló, la ira del Señor se apartó de él y no lo destruyó por completo. Todavía había algo bueno en Judá.
12 When he humbled himself, Yahweh’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
13 El rey Roboam se hizo fuerte y reinó en Jerusalén. Tenía cuarenta y un años cuando comenzó a reinar y reinó diecisiete años en Jerusalén, la ciudad que el Señor había escogido de entre todas las tribus de Israel para poner allí su nombre. Su madre se llamaba Naama y era amonita.
13 So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 Roboam hizo lo malo porque no había decidido ser fiel al Señor.
14 He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.
15 Los hechos de Roboam, desde el principio hasta el fin, están escritos en los relatos del profeta Semaías y del vidente Iddo. Roboam y Jeroboam estuvieron en guerra durante toda su vida.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Roboam murió y fue sepultado en la Ciudad de David. Su hijo Abías reinó en su lugar.
16 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
