1 Joacaz hijo de Jehú comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en Samaria en el año veintitrés de Joás hijo de Ocozías, rey de Judá. Reinó diecisiete años.
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
2 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor. Siguió los pecados con los que Jeroboam hijo de Nabat había hecho pecar a Israel y no se apartó de ellos.
2 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from it.
3 Por eso se encendió la ira del Señor contra Israel, y una y otra vez lo entregó en manos de Hazael, rey de Siria, y de su hijo Ben-adad.
3 Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
4 Joacaz rogó al Señor, y el Señor lo escuchó, pues veía cómo el rey de Siria oprimía a Israel.
4 Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 El Señor dio a Israel un libertador. Así los israelitas escaparon del dominio sirio y volvieron a vivir seguros en sus hogares como antes.
5 (Yahweh gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
6 Sin embargo, no dejaron los pecados con los que Jeroboam había hecho pecar a Israel. Persistieron en ellos, y la imagen de Asera permaneció en Samaria.
6 Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked in them; and the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
7 Al final, a Joacaz solo le quedaban cincuenta jinetes, diez carros y diez mil soldados de infantería. El rey de Siria había destruido el resto de su ejército y lo había reducido a polvo.
7 For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them and made them like the dust in threshing.
8 Los demás hechos de Joacaz, todo lo que hizo y sus hazañas están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Joacaz murió y fue sepultado en Samaria. Su hijo Joás ocupó su lugar como rey.
9 Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.
10 En el año treinta y siete de Joás, rey de Judá, comenzó a reinar en Samaria Joás hijo de Joacaz, rey de Israel. Reinó dieciséis años.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
11 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor. No se apartó de los pecados con los que Jeroboam hijo de Nabat había hecho pecar a Israel, sino que persistió en ellos.
11 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.
12 Los demás hechos de Joás, todo lo que hizo y su fuerza en la guerra contra Amasías, rey de Judá, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Joás murió y fue sepultado en Samaria junto a los reyes de Israel. Jeroboam ocupó su lugar en el trono.
13 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Cuando Eliseo enfermó de la enfermedad que habría de causarle la muerte, Joás, rey de Israel, fue a verlo. Llorando sobre él, dijo: «¡Padre mío, padre mío! ¡Carros y jinetes de Israel!».
14 Now Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”
15 Eliseo le dijo: «Toma un arco y unas flechas». El rey los tomó.
15 Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.
16 Eliseo le dijo: «Pon la mano sobre el arco». El rey así lo hizo, y Eliseo puso sus manos sobre las del rey.
16 He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.
17 Luego dijo: «Abre la ventana que da al este». El rey la abrió. Eliseo ordenó: «Dispara». El rey disparó, y Eliseo declaró: «¡Esta es la flecha de la victoria del Señor sobre Siria! Derrotarás a los sirios en Afec hasta acabar con ellos».
17 He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “Yahweh’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
18 Después Eliseo le dijo: «Toma las flechas y golpea el suelo con ellas». El rey golpeó el suelo tres veces y se detuvo.
18 He said, “Take the arrows;” and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he struck three times, and stopped.
19 El hombre de Dios se enojó y le dijo: «Debiste golpearlo cinco o seis veces. Entonces habrías derrotado por completo a Siria. Ahora solo la vencerás tres veces».
19 The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.”
20 Eliseo murió y lo sepultaron. Cada primavera entraban bandas de moabitas a atacar el país.
20 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 Una vez, mientras unos hombres sepultaban a un muerto, vieron acercarse una de esas bandas. Arrojaron de prisa el cuerpo en la tumba de Eliseo. Cuando el muerto tocó los huesos de Eliseo, volvió a la vida y se puso de pie.
21 As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Hazael, rey de Siria, había oprimido a Israel durante todo el reinado de Joacaz.
22 Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Pero el Señor tuvo misericordia de los israelitas. Los favoreció y se volvió hacia ellos por causa del pacto que había hecho con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. Hasta entonces no había querido destruirlos ni alejarlos de su presencia.
23 But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and favored them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them and he didn’t cast them from his presence as yet.
24 Cuando Hazael murió, su hijo Ben-adad ocupó su lugar como rey de Siria.
24 Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
25 Joás hijo de Joacaz recuperó de Ben-adad hijo de Hazael las ciudades que este le había quitado a su padre en la guerra. Joás derrotó a Ben-adad tres veces y recuperó las ciudades de Israel.
25 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
