1 Josafat tenía muchas riquezas y honor. Su hijo se había casado con una hija de Acab.
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
2 Después de algunos años, Josafat fue a Samaria para visitar a Acab. Acab sacrificó muchas ovejas y bueyes para él y sus acompañantes, y lo convenció de ir con él a Ramot de Galaad.
2 After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
3 Acab, rey de Israel, le preguntó a Josafat, rey de Judá: «¿Irás conmigo a Ramot de Galaad?». Josafat respondió: «Cuenta conmigo y con mi pueblo como contigo mismo y con tu pueblo. Estaremos contigo en la guerra».
3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”
4 Josafat le dijo al rey de Israel: «Primero consultemos al Señor».
4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for Yahweh’s word.”
5 El rey de Israel reunió a cuatrocientos profetas y les preguntó: «¿Debo ir a luchar contra Ramot de Galaad o no?». Ellos respondieron: «Ve, porque Dios la entregará en manos del rey».
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
6 Pero Josafat preguntó: «¿No hay aquí otro profeta del Señor a quien podamos consultar?».
6 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?”
7 El rey de Israel le respondió: «Hay otro hombre por medio del cual podemos consultar al Señor, pero lo odio, porque nunca me anuncia nada bueno, sino solo desgracias. Es Micaías, hijo de Imla». Josafat respondió: «El rey no debería hablar así».
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
8 El rey de Israel llamó a uno de sus eunucos y le ordenó: «Trae enseguida a Micaías, hijo de Imla».
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”
9 El rey de Israel y Josafat, rey de Judá, estaban sentados en sus tronos, vestidos con sus ropas reales, junto a la entrada de Samaria. Todos los profetas profetizaban delante de ellos.
9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 Sedequías, hijo de Quenaana, había hecho unos cuernos de hierro y decía: «Así dice el Señor: Con estos empujarás a los arameos hasta destruirlos».
10 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
11 Todos los profetas anunciaban lo mismo: «Ve a Ramot de Galaad y tendrás éxito. El Señor la entregará en manos del rey».
11 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
12 El mensajero que había ido a buscar a Micaías le dijo: «Todos los profetas anuncian cosas buenas al rey. Habla como ellos y anuncia cosas buenas».
12 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”
13 Micaías respondió: «Tan cierto como que vive el Señor, diré lo que él me diga».
13 Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, I will say what my God says.”
14 Cuando Micaías llegó, el rey le preguntó: «Micaías, ¿debemos ir a luchar contra Ramot de Galaad o no?». Él respondió: «Ve y tendrás éxito. Los entregarán en tus manos».
14 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
15 El rey le dijo: «¿Cuántas veces tengo que hacerte jurar que solo me dirás la verdad en el nombre del Señor?».
15 The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in Yahweh’s name?”
16 Micaías respondió: «Vi a todo Israel disperso por las montañas, como ovejas sin pastor. El Señor dijo: “No tienen señor. Que cada uno vuelva en paz a su casa”».
16 He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
17 El rey de Israel le dijo a Josafat: «¿No te dije que nunca me anuncia nada bueno, sino desgracias?».
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
18 Micaías continuó: «Escucha la palabra del Señor. Vi al Señor sentado en su trono, y a todo el ejército del cielo de pie a su derecha y a su izquierda.
18 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
19 El Señor preguntó: “¿Cómo se puede engañar a Acab, rey de Israel, para que vaya a Ramot de Galaad y muera allí?”. Uno propuso una cosa y otro, otra.
19 Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
20 Un espíritu se adelantó y se presentó ante el Señor. Dijo: “Yo lo engañaré”. El Señor le preguntó: “¿Cómo?”.
20 A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
21 El espíritu respondió: “Iré y seré un espíritu de engaño en la boca de todos sus profetas”. El Señor le dijo: “Lograrás engañarlo. Ve y hazlo”.
21 “He said, ‘I will go, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go and do so.’
22 El Señor ha puesto un espíritu de engaño en la boca de estos profetas tuyos y ha anunciado desgracias contra ti».
22 “Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
23 Sedequías, hijo de Quenaana, se acercó y abofeteó a Micaías. Le dijo: «¿Dónde está el Espíritu del Señor que habla por medio de ti?».
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
24 Micaías respondió: «Lo verás el día que entres en una habitación interior para esconderte».
24 Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
25 El rey de Israel ordenó: «Lleven a Micaías de vuelta a Amón, gobernador de la ciudad, y a Joás, hijo del rey.
25 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
26 Díganles: “El rey ordena que metan a este hombre en la cárcel y le den comida de prisionero hasta que yo vuelva en paz”».
26 and say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’”
27 Micaías dijo: «Si vuelves en paz, el Señor no ha hablado por medio de mí».
27 Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you people, all of you!”
28 El rey de Israel y Josafat, rey de Judá, fueron a Ramot de Galaad.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
29 El rey de Israel le dijo a Josafat: «Yo entraré en la batalla disfrazado, pero tú lleva tus ropas reales». El rey de Israel se disfrazó y entraron en la batalla.
29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
30 El rey de Aram había ordenado a los comandantes de sus carros de guerra: «No ataquen a nadie, sea pequeño o grande, sino solo al rey de Israel».
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
31 Cuando los comandantes de los carros vieron a Josafat, pensaron: «Es el rey de Israel», y lo rodearon. Josafat gritó, y el Señor lo ayudó. Dios los apartó de él.
31 When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 Al darse cuenta de que no era el rey de Israel, dejaron de perseguirlo.
32 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33 Un hombre disparó una flecha al azar e hirió al rey de Israel donde la coraza se unía a su ropa. El rey le dijo al conductor de su carro: «Da la vuelta y sácame de la batalla, porque estoy gravemente herido».
33 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
34 La batalla se hizo más intensa durante el día. El rey de Israel permaneció sostenido en su carro, frente a los arameos, hasta la tarde. Al ponerse el sol, murió.
34 The battle increased that day. However, the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died.
